You can kill Uwe Boll in Postal 3

We're not sure why you'd want to hurt Uwe Boll. Honestly, he's a dear, sweet man with a heart of gold. But apparently someone out there thinks that you've been hurt enough by his cinematic atrocities that you'd want to shoot his digi-version. The director will be placed into the upcoming Postal 3, according to developer Running With Scissors' president Vince Desi.Between BloodRayne, Alone in the Dark and In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, you have plenty of reasons to want to off Boll. But is it enough to tempt you to play the third in a series of games that has scored averages between 55 and 62 percent?

Why does this have to be a game?
Phi Nguyen @ Nov 17th 2007 2:14PM
Yes.

uew bole and postal, a match of crap made in hell

I think Postal 2 suffered from coming out in the period of tiem where developers thought that changing environments and weapons in a generic FPS would insure instant success. I didn't find Postal 2 to be that horrible of a game, it was simply mediocre like just about every game that came out in that period that wasn't made by Vavle or Epic.

But it wasnt really a game per say. More of comical cartoon violence just for the hell of it. So really who cares that it may as well have been, and basically was little more than an unreal engine mod.
You take Postal as a game, it will dissapoint. You take postal as it was designed.. The chance to be uber violent just cos u can, then what the hell.
So while I agree that many games just bolted their own face on an aging fps engine at that time, and the genre suffered for it. I dont believe you can really compare postal 2 to this.

I honestly think Postal was a good concept though, the original one was the first game that ever left me with that creepy, I feel dirty after beating it feeling.
The second one was more slapstick true, but I still was mildly entertained watching the guy's life turn to shit.

I don't have much agains Uwe after i saw an interview with him on Screwattack..
Ghen @ Nov 18th 2007 7:10AM
I watched the same thing and now I hate him even more because he has no frigging clue why we hate him.
Ghen @ Nov 18th 2007 7:12AM
Might have been game head though, I get all those tv shows on gametrailers.com mixed up.

$5 says someone makes a mod that makes every enemy in the game Uwe, and then Uwe sues.
This is all a clever plan for him to make millions to fund a new crappy video game movie. I'm not going to stand here and be a part of this, good DAY sir.
comtar @ Nov 17th 2007 3:24PM
For him to be in the game means he sold his likeness (which means they gave him money >_< ), which means making a mod that makes every character into him is not a crime, but say... if someone made a mod for like Half Life 2 that did that, in theory then you have a possible reason to sue someone. Or if someone made a mod that turned every character into Jack Thompson, then you have a definite lawsuit.
So in effect, there's nothing wrong with this cause Uwe sold his likeness. The only problem I see is that someone had to have given him money to do so, which means more money in his pocket to make shit game movies.

"You think the 'OTT' cheap trick to sell games has spun itself out a bit?"
"Yeah, maybe... got any new ideas?"
"Well, everyone hates Uwe Boll. Stick him in the game - that'll sell another couple of copies to people obsessed enough with the talentless numpty that they want to see him suffer!"
"Ker-ching!"
Oldscoolgamer78 @ Nov 17th 2007 2:53PM
so
DemonGSides @ Nov 17th 2007 3:05PM
This may be the greatest selling game amongst rabid gamers ever, for this one reason.
Anticrawl @ Nov 17th 2007 3:10PM
Eh screw you guys, Postal is a guilty plesure.
Pissing on people and killing elephants here I come.
megapenguinx @ Nov 18th 2007 2:39AM
I want to kill rhinos!
TheCassidy @ Nov 17th 2007 3:19PM
See, he seized an opportunity where there was one. Namely, make video game movies on the cheap.
It's high time someone besides PTS dethroned this Summer's Eve poster boy and made a respectable video game movie before this twat destroys the genre...
/rant. :)
BananaBoat @ Nov 17th 2007 3:27PM
In before someone says Uwe will sue their pants off.
Hooray for parody being legal.
Oh and also, Postal is a terrible, terrible game.
Though peeing on people in it is terribly fun.
Hashbrown_Hunter @ Nov 17th 2007 3:38PM
BEST FEATURE IN A GAME EVER.
DemonGSides @ Nov 17th 2007 4:09PM
Throw in Thompson, and it'll be the highest grossing game amongst gamers ever.
Hashbrown_Hunter @ Nov 17th 2007 6:54PM
And a dash of Hilary while you're at it.
maylon @ Nov 17th 2007 5:56PM
I will only shoot him if I can have my virtual bullet back.
PhydeWice @ Nov 17th 2007 6:32PM
But will it stop him from making shitty movies?
Ranko @ Nov 17th 2007 6:36PM
Sadly, it probably won't.
Clack @ Nov 17th 2007 8:38PM
Is he the one responsible for the House of the Dead movie? That was, hands down and in all honesty, the only movie I don't think I could ever sit through, even if my life and the life of my loved ones depended on it. I made it maybe halfway through and went and found something more productive and fun to do, like lighting my pubic hair on fire.
gonk @ Nov 17th 2007 9:51PM
yeah that's him
Ghen @ Nov 18th 2007 7:13AM
Well you've never seen Bloodrayne by Uwe Boll.. Even the promise of boobies couldn't make me watch the whole thing.
Genicus @ Nov 17th 2007 10:54PM
Hasn't anyone mentioned that he is directing the Postal movie? Maybe he's making fun of himself. Like a fat comedian that turns his being fat into comedy instead of shame, maybe Uwe is trying to turn his failure into some sort of endearing characteristic.
gonk @ Nov 18th 2007 12:04AM
it's not working
quickshade @ Nov 18th 2007 2:58AM
If you throw in Thompson you better either be Rockstar or be ready to be shut down. While being able to kill him sounds great no doubt out could mod any game out right now to have his face in the game. Plus, why would I want him dead. Once he's dead you can't make fun of him anymore. Then what are we going to do.
markcocjin @ Nov 18th 2007 11:53AM
Well guess what? Postal 3 will be made from the Source Engine that powers Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2 and Portal. This only means one thing. You can use Garry's mod to do anything you want with Uwe Boll's ragdoll and that includes blowing him up and making movies of him.
T @ Nov 18th 2007 11:49AM
Put this on 360 and you'll have one of the most loved Achievements ever.

Bazza @ Nov 18th 2007 7:04PM
So you'd kill a guy you never met just cos' he made some bad movies. Fact is even if its a game, the sentiments stem from reality and can be a dangerous thing to encourage. Too many unhinged fellows out there.
Meh! Hate is fun after all.
Todd @ Nov 19th 2007 11:15AM
His movies alone have caused me to seek therapy. Hmm, I wonder if I can get away with sending him the bill.

UWE BOLL TO MAKE NINJA ASSAULT.
Uwe Boll could make the movie based on the 2002 Playstation 2 game Ninja Assault.
The plot is set in feudal Japan 1620 and the evil Shogun Kagai was ambushed by a group of ninjas Guren,Gunjo and Aoi.Now Kagai is now resurrected from the dead and he wants to marry two very special women Siann daughter of the Amercian merchant Captain Jack Allen and Princess Koto.
Now Guren,Gunjo and Aoi join forces with jack to hunt doan the spider demons,flying monkeys and battle against Shadow Khan,Tenshin,Ghan Mann and to stop Kagai at all cost.
This can be good movie to make for Mr Boll.
Thank You.
