Postal² is a 2003 computer game by Running With Scissors (RWS). It is a sequel to the 1997 game Postal. Both are intentionally highly controversial due to high levels of violence and stereotyping. Unlike its predecessor, Postal² is a first-person shooter based on the Unreal Graphics Engine.

The player takes on the role of 'The Postal Dude' (all evidence given in-game indicates that the character's full legal name actually is "The Postal Dude, Jr.": his father's tombstone reads "T. Dude Sr."; characters constantly call him "Mr. The Dude" and a package for him is addressed to "Postal Dude"), a tall thin man with a goatee, sunglasses, a blue alien t-shirt, and a long black leather coat. The Postal Dude also wears a Happy Smiley pin on his right lapel and a cross pin on his left one. 'The Postal Dude' lives in a trailer park with his nagging wife (only identified in the credits as 'Postal Dude's Bitch') in the mining town of Paradise, Arizona.

The game levels are split into days of the week starting Monday and finishing Friday. At the beginning of each day, Dude is given several tasks to accomplish, such as 'Get milk', 'Confess sins', and other seemingly mundane tasks. The purpose of the game is to finish all of the tasks throughout the week, although the game encourages the player to play in any way he wishes, be it as civilly or as chaotically as possible. There are unique consequences to whichever path is chosen.

Dude must put up with being flipped the bird, mugged, attacked by protesters, put upon by an obnoxious convenience store owner/terrorist and his patrons who cut before Dude in the "money-line", plus an annoying marching band, a murderous toy mascot named Krotchy, the police and SWAT team, the ATF and the National Guard, a religious cult, savage butchers, psycho Taliban terrorists, and Gary Coleman, among many other things.

Live a week in the life of "The Postal Dude"; a hapless everyman just trying to check some chores off his list. Buying milk, returning an overdue library book, getting Gary Coleman's autograph, what could possibly go wrong?

Blast, chop and piss your way through a satirical freakshow of American caricatures in this darkly humorous first-person adventure. Meet Krotchy: the toy mascot gone bad, visit your Uncle Dave at his besieged religious cult compound and battle sewer-dwelling Taliban when you least expect them! Endure the sphincter-clenching challenge of cannibal rednecks, corrupt cops and berserker elephants. Accompanied by Champ, the Dude's semi-loyal pitbull, battle your way through open environments populated with amazingly unpredictable AI. Utilize an arsenal of weapons ranging from a humble shovel to a uniquely hilarious rocket launcher.
Collect a pack of attack dogs! Use cats as silencers! Piss and pour gasoline on anything and everyone! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO!

For anybody with soundissues, the padsp command works fine for me.
To be able to launch the game with desura all you have to do is change this line in the directory:

DIR : ~/Downloads/desura/common/postal-2
File : postal2
Line 54: change
exec "./postal2-bin" $* to padsp ./postal2-bin

AFAIK only the demo has the sound issues, as it still uses OSS.
The full version is updated to use ALSA.

i cannot confirm alsa only, as i dont want to mess up my pa setup.
but what i can confirm is that audio is being sent using SDL (pavucontrol tells me so)
and since i believe SDL only supports ALSA (maybe OSS) but not pa _directly_, it _should_ work with alsa.
(postal->sdl->alsa->pulseadio->mahspeaker)

I can tell you that audio is fine with Ubuntu 11.10 which uses Pulse.

Postal 2! Great! I'm getting into it at the moment, since I got it and the first game from gog.com. But I haven't found any mods yet. Postal 2 deserves some fun and absurd mods.

You serious? Just check the Mod DB page for it, lots of intersting stuff there. Plus there is also lots of stuff listed at Postal Network.
