Acme Products: In the intro cutscene of Apocalypse Weekend, The Postal Dude gets a greeting card from "Acme Repossession" informing him that his trailer home has been repossessed.Achievement Mockery: The "It's sterile and I like the taste" achievement, which requires you to make the Postal Dude piss onto his own face.Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: It's actually a lead-up to a hidden Taliban base containing nukes.The game was infamously and almost universally panned by critics at the time of release, most notably the Computer Gaming World review in which their most Caustic Critic gave it the magazine's first ever zero-star review, writing that "until someone boxes up syphilis and tries to sell it at retail, Postal 2 is the worst product ever foisted upon consumers" - a quote that was proudly included on the boxes of re-releases.
It was followed by an expansion pack, Apocalypse Weekend, which covers Saturday and Sunday of The Postal Dude's weirdest week, with new weapons and characters. Returning a library book? Book burners set the library on fire with him in it. Cashing his paycheck? Bank robbers storm the building and he gets caught in the crossfire. The Postal Dude - now considerably less Ax-Crazy - is married and lives in a trailer park, and the game covers what has to be the weirdest week of his life, as every day the simplest errands become life-or-death battles. Postal 2 is the Denser and Wackier 2003 sequel to the 1997 video game Postal.
