    No, not Portal 2. Postal 2

    In perhaps the weirdest news being announced this week amid a whole week of announcements, the original Postal 2, released in 2003, is getting a brand new expansion pack by developer Running With Scissors, who also made the original.

    The weird part isn't that an expansion pack is coming out not only for a game from 11 years ago, but a game that was reviewed pretty poorly (but has a cult following).

    The weird part isn't that they are seemingly ignoring Postal 3 existed (easily understandable)

    The weird part isn't seeing the same old environments modified for a new story.

    No no, the weird part is not only is Gary Coleman back, but seems like he has new voice clips he recorded originally. If this isn't strange to you, it might be when you know he passed away over 4 years ago.

    Also, the expansion is said to be free.

    Anyways, here is the trailer.

    Well that's kind of god damn weird. Also it doesn't really look fun. Maybe the trailer isn't a good indication of how things will be but the big part of the fun of Postal 2 was just being plunked in an open enough world and getting to go well... postal, and just dick around and have fun. The mechanics of the game were never really that good, when it came out or now. The shooting was never good, not really, but it was fun to shoot at stuff wherever and whenever. It looks like thus far they are treating this one like a shooting gallery and that seems really dumb and boring to me.
    However with that being said, hey, maybe free is cool. And if there are people who are genuinely looking forward to it well then all the power to them.

    Wait, isn't Gary Coleman legit dead?

    Yes. He's been dead for years. Which, on the assumption that the new Gary Coleman dialogue is legitimate, it had to have been recorded and left unused years ago.

    Sounds like it must be an old expansion pack that they abandoned, and they're revisiting it now that Postal 2 is selling again thanks to Steam.

    RWS disowned that game, so I guess it makes sense, although why not just do a proper sequel instead of constantly adding to Postal 2.

    I mean it's too late for this to be relevant and really weird how whats left of RWS keeps hanging onto Postal 2 for dear life (they didn't make 3, they gave it to a russian developer or something and that developer had no idea what they were doing) but at the same time it's completely harmless.

    They can't afford to make a proper sequel. RWS is a hollow shell of a development studio at this point. They don't actually have the staff to make a whole game as far as I know.

    @cornbredx: True.

    I'm surprised Troma hasn't bought RWS, really. Seems like a perfect partnership.
