Proud To Be Different "A lot of what the company does seems designed to antagonize, from the names of their products (the Postal Fudge Pack, for example), to the games themselves, to hiring Uwe Boll to direct the Postal movie, but at the same time, pulp can have power, too. Sometimes, being...

A Casual Environment "Big developers, he says, don't have the luxury of walking away from a game, largely because of the money they pour into development. 'We have no green-lighting process. A lot of people ask us that, and it always brings out a giggle. We have games that people are passionate...
