Postal 2 is pure satire, a hilarious and over-the-top playground for the player to toy around with as to how they see fit. To many gamers and non-gamers who have never played it, Postal 2 is often seen as a tactless excuse to cause mayhem, but Postal 2, Running with Scissors and Desi himself need to be given more credit. Once this backlash was behind them Running with Scissors went even further for its sequel and created a game in which, to name a few controversial elements, allowed the player to urinate on people, use a live cat as a silencer, decapitate, stab and burn civilians and roam the streets armed to the teeth with firepower and unleash it upon the unsuspecting public.

Seeing his time on more family-centric titles as “liberating”, in the late 90’s his content all changed with the arrival of Postal, the isometric shooter that ultimately gained the attention of the FBI and was lambasted by the American media for its depiction of violence. Back in the early days of his videogame career, founder of Running with Scissors Vince Desi was in the business of producing family-friendly titles from licenses such as Hanna Barbera, Disney and Sesame Street.
