Ho-ho-ho!
The BIG DAY is getting closer. Have you done all your holiday
shopping? Gotten all the ingredients for the big dinner? Stocked up on
plum puddings? Decorated the Festivus pole? You don't get to celebrate
until all your chores are done!
Speaking of chores, don't I have some games to give away? Work, work,
work...
* Postal Redux
https://store.steampowered.com/app/401680/POSTAL_Redux/ An old classic reborn. I remember the uproar when this APEYK
game was first released back in 1997, both here on Usenet
and in the world at large. Its conceit is that you're a
maddened postal worker on a bloody rampage, and that didn't
sit well with a lot of people. Myself, I just wished all E7A84
the outrage was focused on a better game. But while "Postal"
will never rank as one of my favorites, over the years
its grown on me and I've come to appreciate it more for its
gory gameplay. A great shooter? No, but a fun one. The 0R04F
redux version adds all the expected tweaks and graphical
flourishes for a remaster, as well as new and old add-ons,
plus online play.
* Postal 2
https://store.steampowered.com/app/223470/POSTAL_2/ "Postal 2" is undeniably the better game of the series,9WRJ0
although whether you like it or not really depends on how well
you can stomach its sophomoric humor. Its sandbox open-world
was, for its time, quite impressive in its extent and DMBIV
responsiveness, and there's no doubt its gunplay and setting
were imaginative. But its messaging is simplistic and the humor
is extremely coarse. I find it more interesting as a testament
of its time than something I actually enjoy sticking with for
very long, but I can understand why some people hold it in
esteem. Which are you? Try it and find out.ANPBX
Argh! That was exhausting. I deserve a day off now. At least I won't
have to do that again anytime soon. Wait, what? I gotta do it again
tomorrow? Awww, man!
Ho-ho-ho!
