![]() ![]() Continuity Nod: The milk cartons scattered around the game, while not very detailed, are recognizably of the Jihad brand in Postal 2."So, was it all true?! Every conspiracy theory there is - lizardmen, illuminati, kissing Lucifer's heel during freemason rituals, aliens, hell, even Mike Pence! It's true. As the Dude himself puts it in the Area 69 loading screen: Conspiracy Kitchen Sink: The second half of the second episode is themed around nearly every single conspiracy theory in existence.Chainsaw Good: The Dude's trusty shovel has been modified into a motorized saw on a stick."No Life Matters" is about the Dude trying to get eccentric millionaire Leon Dusk's autograph with the first three levels taking place on a convention floor, mocking insular wealthy people and aspects of nerd culture.The entire plot of the episode is the Dude simply trying to find toilet paper to use, a common issue during the first months of the pandemic. "Soulless Asylum" uses the COVID-19 pandemic (albeit largely avoiding explicitly naming it), alongside mental health and conspiracy theories, as the basis for its settings and enemies."American Dream Gone Wrong" regards America and what's wrong with it, with satire regarding how unwelcoming the populace is (from gun-toting hicks to a wall meant to keep foreigners out) as well as its consumerist culture, with the first episode being entirely about the Dude trying to get a TV.Central Theme: Each episode has at least one:.In addition to that, doing a successful parry will also briefly slow down time. Bullet Time: Like with the catnip in the main games, there's the quick pillz that, once used, will temporarily slow down time for Dude to run circles around enemies.There's also the Duck Amuck-invoking intro of the demo.

Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: Hot sauce appears as a pick-up in this game.It could be a metaphor but it's hard to tell with the Postal Dude. The Blank: The civilian NPCs have no faces and an incredibly low-poly style which is even more noticeable when putting them side by side with the many different enemies.Bigger on the Inside: Quite literally named with the fourth level in "American Dream Gone Wrong", which is a massive complex hidden within a wall separating the US and Mexico.The first level takes place within the asylum, while the following one is set outside in the asylum grounds, complete with a large ferris wheel that the Dude will have to traverse to progress through the level. Bedlam House: The second episode's first half takes place within a mental asylum that's been inexplicably spliced with an Amusement Park of Doom.Battle in the Center of the Mind: The game's entire shtick is that it happens in a damaged brain.Presumably to make these sections less of a chore, and to make the combat easier, pressing the "crouch" button propels the Dude (via farting) in the direction the player is holding.
