    "Good things come to those who wait." I'm thinking about waiting a bit longer because I think there might be an even better deal for Pre-ordering the Universal Games.

    More like "The early bird gets food poisening from the top worm on the pile". Ah well, maybe I can use this for the TOMI poster.

    It costs $400,000 to play poker for 12 seconds.

    Oh, who cheated? WHO LOOKED AT MY HAND?

    25% off the entire cart.... I am interested... if not... I think I will pass on this one.

    What a bunch of wasted potential. Oh well...

    In your opinion, of course.

    This game is cheap and probably fairly quick to make. Telltale obviously wasn't out to make a massive crossover adventure title. That would take up a lot of resources, which they are more than likely saving for Back to the Future and Jurrasic Park.

    This is just a short, neat little title accessible to everyone.

    I... need... a... trailer...

    Or screenshots or something...

    In case anyone is to lazy to go to the store page here is the description.

    Prepare for a different kind of poker night in a very different kind of club. In Poker Night at the Inventory, you'll deal with Penny Arcade's clever, cunning Tycho, Team Fortress 2's hulking Heavy, Homestar Runner's self-proclaimed "awesome icon" Strong Bad and the hyperkinetic "rabbity-thing" from Sam & Max. These characters come together in ways some never thought possible, in a setting few would have predicted. You'll experience a new style of poker, particularly when hands don't go the way of the other fiery competitors at the table.

    Screen shots at the Steam game page:

    They might not be actual in-game graphics at the moment, but still looks interesting.

    Also 10% off if you buy it through them.

    Perhaps they will release some during PAX this weekend. That's our best chance, me thinks. The web reveal was probably just to keep their "September 2" promise from the trailer.

    EDIT: Nevermind. This is glorious.
  • edited September 2010
    The background of the frontpage changed. You can see Strong Bad, Max and the Heavy. I guess the trailer is really, really close now.

    The way they were hyping it, I was expecting something a bit more epic. OH WELLS

    Omg only 3.86 euro! That's ultra cheap!

    Here are the four main characters (linked, because the picture is just too big): http://www.telltalegames.com/images/newhomepage/pokernight_skin.jpg

    Tycho looks great. I'm still sort of doubting whether he's 2D or using the Strong Bad shaders.

    Even before the teaser trailer?

    Yup, exactly what I guessed. I'm gonna wait for more details before I drop my money on it. Though now that I think about it... with that 25% off, and the fact that I plan on ordering the poster set soon... Dang, I can get this thing for free!

    Man, those screenshots are awesome:

    Notice how they don't show what Tycho looks like in these screenshots.
    Strong Bad shoveling the chips is brilliant!

    Yep, I notice that too

    What poker games are there? If it's just Texas Hold'em and it turns out not to be really creative at all, then "I'll fold". Heh heh.
  • edited September 2010
    High res's are up of the screens over at vip.telltalegames.com.
  • edited September 2010
    Hmm I wonder if Max or Heavy will comment of Strong Bad, and possibly Tycho, being in 2-D?
  • edited September 2010
    I wonder who will be Tycho's voice actor?
  • edited September 2010
    Heh, looking at that art on the vip-site, it seems that they won't censor Tycho's dialogue.

    I'm starting to like this game more and more.
  • edited September 2010
    If you zoom in on this picture you can see that Tycho is a 3D model!

    But Strong Bad's in 3D?

    Also:
    There's not even a passing mention of the game on the TF2 or Penny Arcade site. Huh.

    I love the Poker Posters for each character:

    Strong Bad:"There's no quicker way to turn the hotties off than by being a terrible poker player man."

    Tycho:"You should know that my first response to an inveterate raiser is to shove chips down his or her throat until they shit like a slot machine"

    Max:"Flint Paper once told me. 'Bad cards are no reason to get beaten up by a bunch'a humps.'"

    Heavy:"The best card strategy against heavy weapons guy? Do not bet against heavy weapons guy."

    Which is your favorite?

    Edit: What I ment in my other post was "Do you think Max and Heavy will comment on the different style of each character? (Strong Bad and Tycho look a lot more cartoonish)

    The game has just been announced. They haven't even had a chance to put the official site online. Stuff like this takes some time.

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Bad sign for me. If the game has any F-bombs in it, I can't get it.

    EDIT: Can anyone going to PAX tell me if they hear any F-bombs dropped by Tycho?

    You know what I mean. Well, post edited to reflect meaning.

    In the Penny Arcade games, Tycho had a 3D model. Just saying...

    I'm actually not interested in poker at all, but that 25% off came in as a real treat, especially since I was about to buy Wallace & Gromit and Strong Bad anyway.
    Lucky me ;-)
