“Proving again that good taste is no substitute for
good gameplay, outrageous developer Running With Scissors dropped a
not-so-dainty-sized turd into Martha Stewart’s videogame punchbowl
by announcing they will join forces with Loki Software to bring the
long-awaited Linux version of POSTAL PLUS to Windows-weary
gameplayers, everywhere.

“There’s something just plain sick and wrong about Linux users,”
said Vince Desi, Running With Scissors’ tetanus-tempered edge.
“That’s why we’re so excited to be able to bring these gaming
misfits a Linux version of POSTAL PLUS – They’re our kind of
people!”

“Why did we do it?” said Scott Draeker, President of Loki
Software, Inc. “Two words: First Amendment. Besides, it’s nice to
play something with all the gore of Quake but none of the nausea.
Loki, the Norse god of mischief and our namesake, would definitely
have approved.”
