Basically: im new to games as a whole, however i find myself drifting towards fast-paced, violent shooters. Im still not sure why (maybe a mix of my deteriorating attention span and the rush of adrenaline that keeps me going). Postal has been in my radar for a while, though i never really looked into it... it turned out to be exactly up my alley - sarcastic, absurd, ridiculously bloody.
I rejected it at first. Too crass for me. Yet the hilarious absurdity of the whole concept of a game kept me interested. Since then ive made up my mind: i enjoy violent media to live vicariously through. Much like RWS says themselves, it’s a hell of a lot better to act out your frustrations in video games rather than against your fellow man. I find my solace in that.
BUt theres another thing that draws me in. in the Postal protagonist i find an absolutely despiseable person, and i manage to like them anyways. And i manage to like myself, for the flaws i share with the character, and for the ones i dont.
Also violent videogames fucking rock. fuck yeah explosions blood and fantastic music blasting in my ears

YO I LOVE THIS FUCKING GAME thats it thanks.
Currently i speak only for Postal (1997) because ive only gotten around to playing it. Absolutely banging aesthetic and sound design, and obviously i'd use Dude's velvety deep voice telling everyone to suck it as sleep aid any day.
