Running With Scissors has posted its July newsletter which offers a variety of information about all things Postal. This edition offers a Tips & Tricks Magazine interview with actor Zack Ward about what it is like to take on the persona of the Postal Dude in a movie. Other highlights include some concept art from the upcoming Postal III and an interview with Dennis McCauley of GamePolitics.com and the Entertainment Consumers Association about gamers' rights and the censorship of controversial games.

From the Tips & Tricks Magazine article:

AH: So, how do you become the Postal Dude? He's an icon... especially in Russia, where the games are huge. You might be really big there after this.
ZW: Cool. I just made the character real in an insane world. As this film is what makes the Dude go postal, he can't start out a psycho. Kind of like Mad Max... but funny.

AH: Postal is a pretty controversial game; were you shocked by anything in the movie?
ZW: The opening is iconic and risky. But they pulled it off. Don't ruin it for anyone who hasn't seen it, but the truth is, when you read the script, you think you'll get lynched by page three.

AH: Had you played the games before you started working on the movies, or did you try them after you got the role?
ZW: I played the games after. Fun stuff, with the shovel whacking and the vomit. Reminds me of high school.
