It's a question we've all asked ourselves at one point or another in our lives. Why isn't there more female screaming and people pissing on themselves in videogames? The Postal series tried to bring these noble experiences to the world of interactive entertainment, but for all the franchise's tastelessness, it were these two items that were considered too extreme for Western audiences.

"Well, it was kind of weird and amusing when we had to cut all the female moans and screams out of Postal 1 for release in Britain due to sensitivity surrounding the tragic death of Princess Diana," explains lead designer Steve Wik. "Interestingly, we had problems with the pissing in Postal II in America. It seems that some consider it a 'sex act.' It's ironic because the only reason we put it in the game was to provide a method of putting yourself out when you caught on fire! ... We were so naive ..."

It just goes to show how dirty minded the so-called moral majority are. Only someone with a truly filthy mind could see a man pissing on himself to put out a fire and instantly link it to sex, but it's ironically how the moral fundamentalist right-wingers seem to think.

That said, I think linking female screams to Princess Diana is far more stupid than linking urine to sex.

I'm sure that's why they originally put pissing in the game (to put out fires), but you KNOW they had some fun with the idea after putting it in there. I mean, if you walk up to someone and piss on their face, they WILL vomit (irl and ingame). Also, if you knock someone's head off with a shovel and piss on it, bystanders WILL vomit (haven't tried that ingame yet though).

I remember the part in Conkers Bad Fur Day were you had to drink a lot of beer and then piss on the little fire guys to put them out. That was one of the best parts. I think there should be more piss in games.

What the hell happened? Peeing was okay back in Metal Gear Solid and Conker, but suddenly it isn't now? Man, we've gotten soft.

"...but it's ironically how the moral fundamentalist right-wingers seem to think."

What makes you think the ESRB raters are fundamentalist right-wingers? You have zero evidence to support that. Plus, the creation of the ESRB stemmed out of congressional hearings headed by Herb Kohl and Joe Liebermen who are most certainly NOT right wingers nor fundamentalist.

Please don't use the opporunity you have here to spread your mindless bigotry.

What about a woman pissing on herself while she screams and moans?

That looks like it could be a cardboard cut out of a little girl in a pool of blood. Come on where is the hd realism!

whormongr

the fact that people classify urinating as a sex act shows that they are much sicker than the game itself

TO HEEEAAAAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE WOMEN!

That is all.

Man I loved Postal 2.

It was less a game and more an Anthropological Test. Everything in the game was designed to put you over the edge and go ape shit. Those who stayed calm the longest and did all the chores on the list as peacefully as possible were reported to governments as possible serial killers, I'm sure :|

That reminds me, I need to take a leak.

Jim, I like you more and more with every article! You may not be a "game journalist" but you are something more! Keep up the good work.

Oh, and I eagerly await Postal 3.
