This is the real Apocalypse Weekend expansion for Postal 2 >:D

The spiritual successor to the original Postal.

Take the role of The Antagonist (or alternatively refered to as 'Not Important', or 'Notim Portant'), and embark on a quest to kill as many as you can before you die on seven large long levels, complemented by a beautiful dark ambient soundtrack while you blow holes in building walls, execute people to regain health (or simply for pleasure). Take advantage of a large arsenal of hand held weapons, and mounted machine guns to aid you in your quest.

On top of that, you can also take control of three followers of the Antagonist, each with their own strenghts and weaknesses in the glorious Survival Mode. The more you play, the more weapons and perks you unlock. Fight wave after wave of enemies consisting of regular policemen, SWAT officers and Army Soldiers armed to the teeth, getting harder with each passing wave, with the occasional mini-boss enemy on three different maps.

The highlight of Survival Mode?

BRUTAL DEATH METAL SOUNDTRACK BY BLOOD RED THRONE!

So if you're a fan of the Postal series, and a Metalhead, you will LOVE THIS GAME! Easily one of the best video game soundtracks of all time.

Also, there's a Workshop if you're interested in some batshit crazy mods, and Linux support.

Edit: Survival Mode is best played at Rank 1 without any perks, easiest when playing Survival Mode with a Total Conversion mod active. Reason being that weapons such as the Grenade Launcher and perks such as Extra Health/Execution Health Bonus/Immunity While Sprinting make it faaaaaaar too easy and exploitable for high score. It's much more fun playing it without perks.
