Postal 3 heading to Steam on December 10 photo

Running With Scissors' long-awaited murder-em-up Postal 3 has finally been given a real release date after all these years. You'll be able to chew people up with badger-based weaponry on December 10. 

Set in the town of Catharsis, Postal Dude will be up to his old antisocial shenanigans as he deals with a "satirically broken US economy." He'll be joined by "celebrity" guests including Ron Jeremy, Jennifer Walcott and Uwe Boll. 

So far, the game only has a PC date, although the studio says it still aims to get an Xbox 360/PS3 version out of the gate.

I was just thinking about this game a couple weeks ago and how we haven't really heard much about it for a couple years. And now here we are with a release date.

Alright.

Glad I'm not the only one who reads too fast.

Still, I'd play Postal 3. Then again, I'd play pretty much anything.

I'd like to join the Portal 3 crowd. Silly tiny RSS popup text!

It'd be great if that were true, though. What, the first Valve game to just arrive, without months (sometimes years) of hype and longing?

Jim, please give Postal 3 a 10/10, or at least more than Gears of war 3. And then i'll be happy

Postal 3? Yeah, it's been many years since we've heard about that game. I had no idea that it even had a new trailer back at E3 (watched it just now). I liked 2, but it got old real fast. All I heard about this is that it's on the source engine and that it was coming eventually. I'm actually shocked that we're even seeing this year.

Darn, I jump into the Portal 3 misreading wagon..

I always wanted to enjoy Postal but I gave up on trying, I don't have much hope on liking this one.

Uwe "i hate videogames" Boll... For real?

I hope they let you shoot Uwe Boll.

As long as I can still light people on fire and put it out by pissing on them, this will be a day-one purchase when it comes to 360.

Guess theyv finally realized that no publisher in their right mind would touch this soon to be piece of shit right now and have resigned themselves to releasing it on Steam in the hopes that it sells enough to make someone take notice.

Here's hoping they get that 360 version out soon.

Postal was one of those guilty pleasures of mine, but seeing as how I lack a PC now, consoles are my only option. I still need to find my Postal 2 disc, come to think of it.

Jesus, that soon huh? Postal wasn't the most polished game in the world, but it was fun in a dark, twisted sort of way.

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed Postal 2? I thought it was silly, tasteless fun. I don't play Postal for a good story or even amazing gameplay. Causing havoc is just ridiculously enjoyable.

The fuck is wrong with you people? The original Postal was amazingly unique and I loved the hell of of it, still have the disc sitting next to me right now. Postal 2 was more of a no rules 'what the fucking fuck is going on' kind of game, but it was fun in its own campy violent way.

Apparently you people don't like fun. Enjoy your shitty re-hashes war shooters.

Well, judging by how quickly people read things without taking time to actually understand what they've read, Postal 3 should sell through the roof.

I can see the headlines now:

'Postal 3 Gets Horrible Reviews, Sells Millions on Steam.'

Leading to the inevitable crossover game: 'Porstal 3'

I'd buy this over Portal 3. Portal 2 was already pushing a stale formula, sadly. It didn't measure up to the first game. Anyways, put this on Xbox 360 and I'm there.
