Author's Note
----------------------------
Violent action games are pretty popular now. Violent, rascist, prejudiced games
are very rare right now. Violent, rascist, prejudiced games that let you pee on
people are unique. Well guess what? Postal 2: Share the Pain is one of those
one-of-a-kind games. This primarily-based first-person shooter allows you to
roam a town as a normal man named the Postal Dude. However, the infrequent
hamperings of society (such as waiting in lines, listening to people complain,
and so forth) often can force you to do violent and rash decisions. You can
peacefully cash in your paycheck from work, or rob the bank in a furious rage.
Postal 2 allows you to do violent, somewhat sick and twisted items that would
only be available in a highly-critical game. This game was not only cancelled
for release in Europe due to the overwhelming amount of mature incites, but was
also banned from several countries including New Zealand. Will you unzip your
pants and expose your piece to the citizens of Paradise, or die trying?

Updates
----------------------------
=11/23/06= v1.0
Finished the FAQ. The game was very short single-player wise, and multiplayer
games were empty for the most part (with the patch). Still, one of the most
unique games I have ever played.
=11/22/06= v1.0
Started the FAQ. From what I hear, the game is fairly short, and the
multiplayer is lackluster, so I'd expect to complete the guide sometime before
the end of Thanksgiving break.

============================
- 1) Introduction -
============================
When the original Postal came out back in 1997, the game was almost considered
a comical action game. You played the role of a postal worker who was enraged
with society around him, and decides to go on a killing spree. At the time, the
game was somewhat innovative, violent, and humorous. Gamers around the world
sought it as a mix-up of relief. Now, several years later, after numerous
delays, Postal 2 has been released. The game basically portrays you in the role
of a badass who makes satirical comments about society in general. Everyone is
in a piss-poor mood, and the Postal Dude (the main character's name) decides to
take his anguish out on them. Postal 2: Share the Pain is only different in the
fact that it introduces multiplayer, adds a few weapons, and a few new areas to
single-player gameplay.
The actual gameplay of Postal 2: Share the Pain is based off of a first-person
shooter. Everything is based in a 3D engine, much like a Grand Theft Auto
title, however, you cannot drive vehicles. So about 1/3 of the fun factor goes
right out the door there. You live in the town of Paradise which has a
population of over 4,000 people. The developers, Running with Scissors, tried
to present the game in a fashion where comedy, extreme violence, and sick acts
can all occur. Your main character can unzip his pants to expose himself, at
which point he can pee until he runs out of "whiz" ammo. You can get arrested,
you can kill anyone you wish, and most of your objectives can be accomplished
peacefully or violently. In the end, the game presents an open-ended feeling,
although most of the game's presentation is certainly not polished. You'll
often walk through cars, and certain glitches may occur in scripted gameplay.
In the end though, Postal 2 is a unique game with its overwhelming amount of
comical satire, and the manner as to which you can perform actions in the game
engine.

Postal 2's controls are actually well setup for a first person shooter. One
hand controls your movement and interactions in the game, while the mouse
assists in aiming, looking around, or targetting objects.

- The controls for Postal 2: StP are pretty much like any normal shooter out
there. Holstering weapons is necessary when you are outside or near people as
this adds fear, or causes you commit a crime. Always conceal weapons unless you
want to try and get arrested or need to for an objective. Unzipping or zipping
your pants causes your piece to be exposed. You can scare people with this.
Left click while it is out to whiz all over the place. Walking lowers the
amount of sound you make when moving. Crouching improves your firing accuracy,
and can be used for taking cover. If you get arrested, you'll often have to
drop your weapon. Do so by pressing ; or z. Everything else is self-
explanatory.

/Gameplay/
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
A great way to sum up the gameplay elements of Postal 2: Share the Pain is
simple - GTA minus cars. This game resembles many mechanics of the Grand Theft
Auto series except it is played from a first person view, and you cannot drive
automobiles. Putting those elements aside, the boundaries on freedom are
limitless. You can kill anyone, anywhere, and in many cases it helps your
objectives get completed. The open endedness of the gameplay is what makes
Postal 2 an interesting replay type of game. This section will briefly
summarize gameplay mechanics.
___ WANTED METER ___
====================
If you get into enough trouble, a badge will appear in the lower right
portion of the screen with a red bar filling up a small area of it. If you
retreat from the police, draw a weapon, or fire/kill any of them, the meter
will fill up more. This means you're more wanted. The meter can only
decrease by hiding somewhere so it gradually goes down. You must not be seen
in order for the meter to go down.
___ GOING TO JAIL ___
=====================
In order to be sent to jail, you have to drop your weapon. Press ; to do so.
You must also stand still so you can get cuffed. If cuffed, you'll be placed
in a lone cell on the third floor. To escape, pull out the matches from your
inventory, and toss one at the water sprinkler just outside your cell on the
ceiling. This will cause your cell door to open. From here, you can make
your escape.
___ ROBBING STORES ___
======================
Any building that offers a commercial service can be robbed as long as there
is a register. To do so, kill or scare away the cashier, then walk up to the
cash drawer to take the money. If people perform an action (withdraw money
from a bank), you can then rob that NPC of the money he/she just withdrew.
Some robberies trigger alarms for instant police action, or will cause your
wanted meter to rise accordingly.
___ URINATION ___
=================
One of the more prominent actions in the game is unzipping your pants and
using your ding-a-ling as a weapon. When you urinate on someone, it can stun
them temporarily or cause them to puke (if you aim near the mouth). Puking
is a great way to keep someone preoccupied from engaging you. Note that
police officers will not arrest you if you keep your pants unzipped - so zip
up!
