First off this picture is bad ass...and my schooling is almost done and I must say its coming way too fast.
I have just started playing the game Postal 2, I'm sure it rings a bell but if it doesn't let me teach you the basics of Postal 2: "share the pain". The game stars a ex-game designer who because of money is fired from his job and this is where the player can choose how to react (they can choose to kill thier boss or deal with it and collect their last paycheck) What a lot of people that bash the game fail to realize is that there is a system in place to deal punishments to each action the player takes. While yes you can kill lots and lots of poeple in horrible ways you will be arrested or killed by police or noble towns people and at least for me after running around for about three hours in the twisted world (overly stereotyped) of Postal 2 I must say I stopped killing randomly for the stake of killing and just played the missions and let the cop NPC's shoot the protesters for me and its more of an off the wall sim now then a "murder simulator" I find I have no want to kill people but rather collect cats (yes 
you can "collect" cats) I felt bad after entering a chinese fast food joint to see them cooking the cats so I took it upon myself to rescue them, I am up to 43 cats saved right now. You can use them as silencers for you larger weapons but I think my new goal is to collect 50 cats and then try and set them free all at the same time!! its that emergent play that makes this game fun not the violent content...the game is always testing your resolve by having you wait in long lines to do tasks such as cash your paycheck or buy milk and while in the game you could "go postal" its more rewarding to make up your own rules otherwise if you just go around killing everyone nothing will get done and key NPC's that help complete missions will be dead and trust me you will get tired of senseless killing because it limits your choices within the game. I would also like to say the sounds throughout the game are awsome. When your close to objects such as a freezer or fan you will hear it and for a game like this you would think those things weren't taken into acount but they have and it helps the game overall. Its a 20 dollar game that should be less for the bugs and production vaule but there are some funny things with the names of objects and places in the game that give it it's own niche. So that's a little 101 with Postal 2 try it you might like it but overall its a great effort from developer Running with Scissors and can be more creative at times then the AAA titles out there.
