That  means you're sensitive to it, it doesn't make it exploitation or bad art.

[AzyWng]

As long as people don't all start trying to make Readymades, I think there's still some hope for art as we know it.

I think. I'm not entirely certain, however.

Andres Serrano?

Postal 2 is a lot more wacky, but still violent and super offensive.

Postal 2 is such an incredibly dumb game... I don't know why I enjoy it as much as I do.

Unfortunately most of the particularly entertaining stuff goes out the window on POSTAL difficulty, which of course I had to start pushing through because I feel the need to prove something.

I ran my toe/foot over with a jack holding over a ton. Somehow it's pretty much fine. Toe is sore but nothing was broken or degloved.

Disparaging Readymades is ableist.

Bah, there are already many games on steam that are just as violent as the asset flipped garbage that was active shooter

Postal 1 is all about active shooting, hell, it ends at an elementary school.

Hatred, which is basically a modern successor to Postal 1. Was briefly removed from Steam before being reinstated by gaben himself

All I'm saying is you gotta put effort into your murder simulator if you want it to sell

I kept reading that as Portal 1 & 2 and I became very confused.

Orifices. Orifices everywhere. It's obscene.

Portals need flat, hard surfaces

So what are the guns shooting?  Not portals.  Like some gunk?

My opinion on Postal 2 is nearly the polar opposite. What's not to like? It knows it is absolutely stupid and relishes in it, and the general style of gameplay and range of weapons is incredibly unique and fun. How many other games have anthrax infected heads as a weapon?

Postal 2 is probably the only game which my mother TOTALLY forbade me from playing it. When she saw me playing Postal 2, she gave me a rant about how disgusting the game is, and how sadistic and obscene it is. Hell, she even ended up calling it a "terrorist simulator". Then she turned the computer off and destroyed Postal 2 installation file, which came on a USB flash drive.

And as a personal note: My mother used to be unusually open with what I play, and right now, when I've reached legal adulthood, she doesn't care what I play at all. The only thing I need from her is confirmation to spend money on video games.

"incredibly dumb game" ... but the actual narrative structure of Postal 2 is genius though, with all the groups out to get you by the end representing different aspects of human stupidity. It's the sort of "Dumb" that's actually genius, in a South Park sort of way.

[TamerVirus]

Postal 2. the only game with a cheat that turns everyone into Gary Coleman

[Reelya]

Man, I completely forgot about Gary Coleman

[George_Chickens]

Never fear. He has not left us, he is in our hearts and his soul is in the Great Cole Mine of the Sky.
