On the contrary, i believe a few people in this thread pointed out that a big part of the card game they're looking forward to is the interactions between the characters. Perhaps that is the "interesting characterizations and script." Or, perhaps not. Wait until Thursday.
Exactly. People who are disappointed by the thought of it being "just a card game" should really check out the first Telltale Texas Hold'em.

Then again, Hold'Em has been around since the company's start, and it's been all point n' clicks (with the exception of puzzle agent) from there, so no one really expects it.
But then again, what if all those characters are in a mafia in the game, and The Heavy is a gambler?
No one expects it? Judging by this forum at least, a lot of people expect it. But still, I'm not saying it's definitely Texas Hold'em: The Sequal: The Crossover: The Game: The Movie. It could be one of them point and click games. Or Rather, a click and drag game (which I've grown to despise, for the record. But I'm getting off-point.) we'll just hafta wait and see what Telltale brings us. But it will be awesome, that you can be assured of.
Maybe its Alien Swarm with these characters ? That could be kinda cool. Heavy doesnt like alien bugs!. It costs 1million dollars to kill aliens with minigun for 10secounds lol
Haha that would be awesome! And weird. I imagine it being something like this. Or not.
I wonder if there'll be multiple card games in this one. At the very least, I'd love an Indian Poker minigame (yes, it's from Sam and Max Season 1, but it's a real game). I can imagine Tycho saying "Max, if you're looking at your reflection in a mirror or a shiny, oversized clown nose, I will kill and skin you."
Edit: I don't know if anyone else has bought this up, but I've realized something about the voices - we know who'll probably be doing three of them, but nobody has ever voiced Tycho before. They deliberately almost completely left voices out of the Penny Arcade RPGs because everyone has their own ideas about how the characters sound (well, that and it was undoubtedly cheaper that way). For once, the question about a Telltale game's voice acting isn't who, but what. Personally, I've always imaged Tycho as having a deeper voice than Gabe.
And here I was thinking it's an everything PC crossing over with everything else PC fighting game. Though a script and characterization is about as difficult in a card game than a fighter.
Telltale Games Insult Sword Fighting!
A "fighting" game like you've never seen before...
It's gonna be a good week:
Sam and Max on Monday
This game announced on Thursday
Metroid on Friday
I thought Metroid came out on Tuesday, like all modern retail video games do. The slowest retail day is Tuesday, so retailers make deals with the entertainment industries to have new retail releases on Tuesdays to draw in customers.
"Blue sweater man will pay!"
"Little rabbit is cute! But not too cute to LOSE!"
"How is mask man playing with boxing gloves on?"

I'm in Europe where we get games on Friday instead of Tuesday. Gives us the whole weekend to play
If this is anything but a poker game with non-canon guest appearances by Penny Arcade, Sam and Max, TF2 and Strong Bad, I will be extremely disappointed.
Sam and Max are funny, StrongBad is very much NOT funny and Penny Arcade is about as hilarious as child molestation. Furthermore, the comedy styles (or so-called comedy styles) of the three series are very different and not compatible.
For the love of God, please no adventure game featuring Sam and Max and Penny Arcade!
(Although the Penny Arcade video games were actually surprisingly good, for as long as you just ignored the unfunny storyline and played it for the RPG combat)
If I'm not mistaken, from left to right we have Tycho from Penny Arcade, Max from Sam and Max, Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress 2, and Strong Bad from Homestar Runner. What could this mean? Is this a crossover, or several different Telltale projects?
Either way, now I can't freakin' WAIT for the Penny Arcade Expo.
Max: Read em and weep: 3 dispencers and 2 Divs.
Strong Bad: Aw crap! All I got was 2 Skunkapes, a Homsar, a Scout and a lousy Monkey Dude!
Heavy: You may have outsmarted me Rabbit but let's see you outsmart Boolet! (Picks up Sasha)
Max: (Takes out Luger) Oh boy! It's just like my dad's poker games when I was young.

Tycho: Jeezus, guys, be careful! Someone PAID for this ******* computer!
I am going on record as saying it is NOT Telltale Texas Holdem' 2. The only purpose to making the original texas holdem game was to test out the Telltale Tool. It was basically a demo of the technology they were planning on using for Bone and eventually all their adventure games.

RPG Style Game in each of these charicter's worlds.
Eep I said it!
Haha that would be awesome! And weird. I imagine it being something like this. Or not.
..and why not say it?
My bucks would be on that shizzle.
Let's make it an action-RPG, and throw in some Disney and Final Fantasy characters as well. Kids'll eat that right up!
Can it be like paper mario instead? owo
Foreshadowing!
So it's going to be a mockery of Telltale Texas Hold'em? I'd rather have episodic FPS poker.
If it is I will punch my computer so hard Telltale will feel it.

"Royal flush is credit to team!"
"We must push little cards!"

A "fighting" game like you've never seen before...
Monkey Kombat?
.. oh wait... we HAVE seen it before
Okay?
(I might even buy it then 0_0)

Mission success.
I'm in Europe where we get games on Friday instead of Tuesday. Gives us the whole weekend to play
And, if you include a tutorial, maybe this time I understand how the hell works that game.
Pazaak and Sabacc, please!!!
Or do you just not understand a few of the new rules of KOTOR2 or what?
I think "it's somewhat like blackjack but you need 20 instead of 21 and have 4 bonus cards" pretty much sums it up the way it was in KOTOR1
Sam and Max are funny, StrongBad is very much NOT funny and Penny Arcade is about as hilarious as child molestation. Furthermore, the comedy styles (or so-called comedy styles) of the three series are very different and not compatible.
For the love of God, please no adventure game featuring Sam and Max and Penny Arcade!
(Although the Penny Arcade video games were actually surprisingly good, for as long as you just ignored the unfunny storyline and played it for the RPG combat)
Now that the mission is a success, PLEASE tell us
Nice try, pal. Copyright 2006..
