The year is 1997. Game studio “RUNNING WITH SCISSORS”, has just released their first game into the public. This game is named POSTAL, and it contributed to the nearly three decade long topic of whether or not content in video games should be regulated. Over the decades that this series has been around, it has amassed a cult following and high praise for most games in the series… most. However, upon release, they were met with extreme controversy in regards to the games’ content. Extreme violence, whether sadistic or satirical, sexual themes and outright nudity, drug abuse, offensive humor regarding race & religion… Gary Coleman, The list goes on. Knowing this, I thought it’d be fun to revisit these games and see how well they’ve held up. So let’s look through the deranged world of Postal, shall we?

I started working on this video in January of 2023, postponed it through my first year of college, and dealt with a switch in editing software halfway through the editing process. This is the most effort I’ve ever put into a project like this and I genuinely hope you all enjoy.
