* The "[[http://postal.wikia.com/wiki/War_Journal War Journal]]" from the original ''POSTAL''. It shows up as the original diary entries of the game and have been integrated into the HD remake. Unlike the normal entries, the journal portrays the Postal Dude as a [[TragicHero Tragic]] AntiHero on a crusade against the "[[HatePlague madness plague]]" (regarding the hostiles killing everyone during gameplay) rather than a bloodthirsty mass murderer. According to the Dude himself, he claimed that he doesn't enjoy violence, seeing it as NecessaryEvil. However, in the ending, it was revealed that the Postal Dude was, in fact, [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness insane all along]].
* Albeit a Meta example: The RealLife Champ (pictured above), which was Vince Desi's pet Pitbull Terrier, passed away after an eight-month battle with cancer in May 23rd, 2011. As the result, Akella's spin-off ''III'' briefly featured a tribute for the Postal Dude's best friend. Thankfully, [[CharacterOutlivesActor that doesn't stop him from appearing in later titles]] including ''Paradise Lost'' DLC for ''2''.

Also, it was used for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTWWCpGpkoo "Ice"]] track from ''VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories'' and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQCssEOshFQ "Radio"]] from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2''.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hS1sYig7MQo The "Parade of Disasters".]] It changes back to NightmareFuel in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Taocg2fm5E "Redux", which becomes alot echo-ish]] and incredibly disturbing as the "Rocket" launching noise is even more intense than the original.
