	I really want to see more of The Inventory in the future. I keep looking behind the characters to see what's in it.

	I'm one of the guys who's not a great poker player, but just wants to see these characters interact. That, and I really want the TF2 unlocks.

	I would gladly pre-order this and BTTF's full season, if I could pre-order and get sent a PSN code on release day. Ubisoft did this for their Scott Pilgrim game, and I (along with several friends) took advantage of it.

	I hope this also portends a Penny Arcade Telltale game.

	When that Gamepro article said all the characters would have their "original voice actors," it seems they were misquoting. It'd be more accurate to say they all have the voice actors people are most familiar with, which in Max's case is probably William Kasten. And besides, with all due respect to Nick Jameson, Kasten is just a better Max. :P

	@Quuux I've been thinking the same thing. Seems like there have been more telltale/PA interactions lately. I keep hoping it means Telltale will finish Rainslick Precipice of Darkness!

	I love the fact that different methods of rendering are used concurrently: full shaded 3D models (the Heavy, Max) and cell-shading (Strong Bad as a pseudo 3D flash-movie character and Tycho as a comic cartoon character)!

	That's so wizard.
	Comment by Kroms November 11, 2010, 2:37 pm

	@barchetta if the heavy is a full shaded model then they are doing it wrong. The heavy's model should make extensive use and manipulation of Phong shading. TF2's art style and shading is heavily influenced by early 20th century commercial illustrations.
