Telltale Games

Who needs the outdoors, physical activity, sunlight, vitamin D, and the tan that often comes with summer when you can spend the entire time inside an air conditioned edifice playing video games you got for a song? Some of Telltale's more recent titles have caught the summer bug on a couple of our partners' points of purchase and gone down in price for a limited time! 

Steam

Get Poker Night at the Inventory for 33% off (that's $3.33 for the math-uninterested like myself) today! As well as being about the going price of lemonade from the neighbor kid's stand, Poker Night at the Inventory has also gotten a brand new Steam Summer Sale Achievement for you to unlock! Don't forget, Poker Night at the Inventory also comes with unlockable Team Fortress 2 items for your enjoyment as well! - LINK

You know what to do guys and girls, stay inside and play some games this summer! 

Now that Poker Night at the Inventory is here there's sure to be some perfecting of poker skills. I'll admit, I've never, ever, played a single hand of poker of any kind in my life. I've also been doing just fine in today's release, thanks to some of the tips the team put into the game - including a handy poker hands guide! 

Now, I did go into Poker Night with a very low-level knowledge of card values, suits, and details like that so having a bit of that under your belt doesn't hurt. There's some poker jargon though that takes a bit of getting used to, and thanks to a number of online poker glossaries, I present you some key terms to know while playing.

Poker Night at the Inventory, the behind-the-scenes meeting of some of video games' most recognizable characters is now available for download (just click the 'Your Games' button at the top right of our site to find the link)!

If you haven't yet purchased Poker Night at the Inventory, the game IGN gave an 8.0 and called 'the funniest hand of poker you'll ever play', head on over to the Telltale Games Store and get it - it's only $4.95!

I know many of you have been clamoring for a release date for Poker Night at the Inventory and I've seen a lot of guesses. Here's our answer - November 22. 

The team has been hard at work to finish the game for you guys and it's simply looking awesome! Come Monday, you'll finally get the chance to beat Penny Arcade's Tycho, Max, Team Fortress 2's Heavy, and Strong Bad in a little game of Texas Hold Em' and win some Poker Night exclusive Team Fortress 2 items from them in the process.

There's still time a little bit of time to get in on all of the Poker Night pre-order excitement though, including the pre-order exclusive poker visor in TF2 and 25% off of the rest of your Telltale Games Store order or 10% off of the game if you pre-order through Steam. Just be sure to do it before the game releases on the November 22!
