Think Postal is a little over the top? Wait until you read these letters sent to the game's developer. Our advice? Duck for cover!

Think Postal's over the top?

Wait until you read a few cards and letters the game's developer Running With Scissors received.

Vince Desi of Running With Scissors proudly shared a few of what he says are hundreds of letters he and his company have received since Postal was released.

As you read through the e-mails remember, we don't write these letters...we only post them.

The link below will take you to the first letter.Re: Prayer Patch

Do you think that it could take place in Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, New Jersey? I go there and from the consent tormenting I feel like going postal sometimes.

But then there's that death-penalty thing... So maybe... with your help I could slaughter them on my PC…hehehe...

Merry X-MasFrom SureShotG'day Gimp,

As you can tell from my accent, you'll realize I'm an Australian. And I'm happy to say that this Aussie is behind you 1000 percent in your stand against the Australian government.

I have been purchasing my computer games through the Internet for the last year. It's not because it's cheaper! And not because it's quicker! It's so I can get around the draconian censorship laws that those bastards down in Canberra (our national capital) have inflicted upon us hapless computer gamers.

For example, I have purchased Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior through the Internet. The games are full of blood, death, and profanity. All the good ol' fun you'd expect from such a game, and since I'm paying upwards of AUD$100 for each game (I kid you not!), I bloody well expect to get the full thing!

Well, after comparing the US games to the limp-wristed, wanky, sugar- and-spice Australian version approved by the government (the castrated version I call it), there is no comparison. It's the US version or NOTHING!!!

I totally agree with your fight, and I implore you to keep on kicking.

Cheers,RipperjackI'm from St. Louis, the Wal-Marts, Best Buys, malls, none of them carry or are going to carry Postal, they gave me some sh-- like "oh what's that?" "or, "I'm sorry, we just don't plan on getting it." I felt like jamming a cash register down his throat.

I hate those customer service people, they're never any help...Oh well. And I thought my new rail road bolt piercing was fun. I found something even more fun. How about making a level where you go around killin' all the NARCS! That would be cool!

Or maybe a level involving the massacre of small children at the arcade that just sit in front of the game and THINK they are playing. For NORMAL people, that would be fun.

Or maybe a level where the postal dude gets to borrow Voltron for a week. Now THAT would be cool!

"Where there is Voltron, there is good, Where there is Postal, there is carnage, and where there is School Lunch, there is constipation..."Hey y'all

I'm to busy killing my local police force to get the patch. I was making a new massacre in my local mall when I found the perfect present for gimp. A new piercing with his brand new nail gun.

Makes pierces, punctures and yummy julian fries!
