Poker Night at the Inventory (some sort of crossover game?..)

[tredlow]

I just started watching one of the Texas Hold 'Em youtube videos and um, I really hope the game dosn't look like that because well, that animation was revolting.

Of course it won't. The first game was from years ago. Before Bone.

[Jon NA]

Guys, The 2/9 date given in the end of the trailer IS A LIE !!!111!!111

[Avistew]

Oh, come on, it's not even the middle of the day yet.

[Echowave]

Really? Where I am, it's four o'clock

[tredlow]

Oh, come on, it's not even the middle of the day yet.

It is for some people...

[Avistew]

It is for some people...

Not for the people who matter in this case: the ones making the announcement. You can't say the date was a lie when not even half the day has passed for them.

...Well, obviously, you can say it. But it's going to make me go "oh, come on!"

[Cormorant5]

It's 2 20 here. And I've been banging my head against my desk all day. And Strong Bad, take it from the Homestar Runner fan, has a rocket launcher and access to "the world's greatest athlete," strong mad who could beat heavy in a fist fight anyday, and other awesome people.

Was just a pun on stupid internet memes Anistew ...

Also, you going "oh, come on!" is not gonna stop me do that, bwahahahaha!
Not even you going like this stupid LOL cats meme↓

Wow, so much meme already. I feel partially responsible.

[GaryCXJk]

I thought it was going to be announced somewhere around or after 6 PM either EST or PST, which is about 5 AM the next day in GMT or something.

e.g. It's not time yet.

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

It probably will be near 3/9 where I live when they finally reveal the surprise... (It's 20:30 right now)

[The Gentleman]

I hate memes.

[tredlow]

http://24timezones.com/usa_time/ca_marin/san_rafael.htm

No, this one's real.

[Avistew]

A PUN? "2/9" sounds like "cake"? :confused:

I've been pronouncing English so wrong. :(

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

http://24timezones.com/usa_time/ca_marin/san_rafael.htm

No, this one's real.
One of these on Telltale's main page would be very helpful for reminding us to be patient.

[dentbuds]

Its 11:30 there, so they still have half the day left to announce it.

Anyone have any good ways to pass time?

[GaryCXJk]

Internet pornography.

EDIT: Scrap that. Instead, participate in Guess the Costume.

[dentbuds]

Matt. 5:27, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery'; but I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart."

Yeah I saw that. Guess I'll give it another shot.

[Echowave]

Its 11:30 there, so they still have half the day left to announce it.

Play some Telltale games!

[dentbuds]

Took a look at Guess the costume, but I don't have a clue about any of the remaining.

Might just do that. Sam and Max Save the World hasn't been in my Wii for a while.

Look for an interesting, long-running internet series you haven't followed, be it webcomic, youtube show, etc. and watch/read from beginning to end.

[dentbuds]

Like Penny Arcade. I Guess I'll want to know more about that with this game on the near horizon.

Oooh!!! I recommend Girly (http://girlyyy.com/)! Despite the title of the webseries, it's not really all that girly. In fact, for a title like that you'd imagine less lesbian porking...

Also safe for work. No genitalia or actual intercourse depicted.

No one got the game reference? Besides the obvious SoMI's one?

[guybrush20X6]

I pieced together a bunch of dialouge people wrote to pass the time:


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.

Oh, I know how the follow-up trailer would probably be.

Telltale Games logo

Then some other logos to accompany the Telltale Games logo

Shot of a dark room with an empty table, a light shining on the table. Then Strong Bad takes a seat, followed by Max and Tycho.

STRONG BAD: Let's do this.

Fade to black

TELLTALE GAMES PRESENTS

Shot of heavy furiously putting a rock on the table.

HEAVY: HA! YOU LOSE!

ROCK, PAPER, BACCARAT

Because people *ahem* like *ahem* them so much, here are more excerpts:

Tycho: So, Exactly Who are you?
Heavy: I am Heavy Weapons Guy. But my teammates call me Heavy.
Tycho: They got that right.

Strong Bad: So, Max, what's your favorite game?
Max: I like the one where I pick up random pedestrians and drive recklessly through the city and drop them off at God knows where.
Strong Bad: You mean Taxi Driver? That's a cool video game, man!
Max: Whoa, who said anything about video games?

Tycho: Don't you ever put on clothes, Max?
Max: I'm a wild animal. I'm supposed to be naked. It's expected of me.
Tycho: Is that a no?
Max: Not really.

Heavy: Where does little bunny keep his gun?
Max: That's none of your damn business. And don't call me a bunny!
Heavy: Aw, he's so cute when he's mad.
Max: Grrr...

I was just thinking of opening cutscenes for the diffrent characters:

Max's
Sam and Max are relaxing in the office (I.e. trying to shoot a fly) when...
RRIIINNNGGG!
I got it! I got it!
(Sam shoves max out the window)
Sam: Yeah? Uh'uh? Maybe? It's for you Max.
(Sam hands the phone to Max who's hanging out the window.)
Max: Yes? Right... With a flamethrower... I'm there.
Sam: Who was it? The Comisioner?
Max: Better. I've been invited to an interdimensional poker tournemt!
Sam: Why? You don't have any money.
Max: I don't but there's all that gold in fort knox just going to waste.
Sam: Gambling our nations financial security on games of chance, the greatest American tradition!

Tycho's Opening
(Phone Rings)
Gabe: Hello? Tycho, dude, it's for you.
Tycho: Yes? Yes? Yes? Hell No! Oh, alright. (he hangs up)
Gabe: Who was it?
Tycho: Some dude invited me to a poker tournament.
Gabe: Who's playing?
Tycho: A sociopathic rabbit, a Russian Soldier, and some kind of wrestleman.
Gabe: All right, have fun. You poor bastard.
Tycho: What?
Gabe: Nothing.

Heavy's
Engineer: We just recived order that one of us has to attend a Texas hold 'em poker tornement.
Scout: How 'bout Spy. He plays cards.
Spy: Non! I play Baccharach, not your stupid "Look at me maintain a straight face for 5 hours" game.
Scout: How about the Pyro. He/she/it has an incredible poker face.
Engineer: Don't you remember what happened the last time we tried "Go Fish" with him?
Scout: Oh yeah... got it mixed up with an ouigi board and somehow managed to channel the spirit of Thomas Jefferson.
Engineer: The rest of that night is something that still haunts my dreams.
(Heavy enters)
Heavy: What are you talking about?
Engineer: Poker tornument.
Heavy: Will there be sandviches?
Scout: I guess...
Heavy: COUNT ME IN!

Strong Bad
(ring)
Strong Bad: Hello? Yes? Okay, Count me in.
Strong Sad: Who was it?
Strong Bad: Some idiot invited me to a poker tournament.
Strong Sad: Are you going?
Strong Bad: I don't know. What else is there to do?
Strong Sad: I could read you some of the poetry I've written.
Strong Bad: Okay, I'm going.

[Cormorant5]

Crap still nothing? I waited a few hours this time too...

[Steve2000]

This now the point in the "We're all waiting for..." thread where I have to remind everyone about a little thing called time zones. Although it may be bed-time where you are, or even September 3rd in some parts, it is still only 2pm on September 2nd where Telltale is. I still have a couple more hours of work before I will even be home, so chill everyone.

Carry on with the incessant whining and complaining now.

PS: Since I am being a grumpy-grump I'll just add: GET OFF MY LAWN, you darn kids.

[dentbuds]

I think I got it.

http://www.globalgallery.com/prod_images/600/isi-x290.jpg

Its called, "Atavistic Vinteges After the Rain." I think that it depicts a Father and his Son walking through what used to be a huge ocean (hence the mountains in the distence. That used to be the mainland. Also, "After the Rain" might have something to do with that) and they come across the skeleton of an unknown sea creature, that by chance, perched itself perfectly onto that y-shaped stick and that rock.

Ridiculous? Yes. But the painting could mean anything. This is just as possible as any other theory as far as I know.

Its only 6:00pm here. We'll know sooner or later.

[StrongBrush1]

I got back from eight hours of school for THIS?

[Mike Haley]

I'll take one last stab at the title: Telltale Card Sharks, Telltale Games (a self titled game would be a bit funny), or Telltale Texas Hold'em: All-Stars Edition? That last one happens to be something that I suggested some years back (after playing far too much Telltale Texas Hold'em, I might add): http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3190 (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3190)

We can safely assume that it's not Telltale Strip Poker. Max would be ousted from the tournament at the start. Also, Alyx Vance from Half-Life 2 would need to be one of the characters. ;)

Frankly, it would be best if, assuming that it is indeed a followup to Telltale Texas Hold'em, it offered a wider variety of card games, anyway. Although, it is, after all, all about the character interaction, and that's what made the first Telltale Texas Hold'em so much fun to play.

Of course, the cards in the trailer could be a red herring, and the game could turn out to be something completely different. Hopefully, we will know soon.

[RMJ1984]

Its probably some kind of card game with fighting.

We know heavy can fight, we know Max can fight, we sure know strong bad can hit people. Im not sure about that forth dude, i dont really know anything about him?.

I actually really hope it's a card game now. A nice, casual game with hilarious banter from characters I've already grown to love in their respective games sounds immensely enjoyable.

Whatever it is, I hope it comes out sometime this month.

See my above post. Telltale Games is based in California - there are still almost 7 hours left in September 2nd. Most of the staff is probably still in the office. I myself just got home from work a few minutes ago. (I work in San Francisco). Due to the wacky fact that we live on a globe that rotates it just can't be the same time of day (or even the same day) everywhere at once.

[Cormorant5]

Wait wait wait, was it announced? Can I have a link to the steam thing or the telltale thing or whatever?

[Cormorant5]

Just saw, is there any gameplay trailers out?

[Shwoo]

There's just the store entry so far.

[Tjibbbe]

Aaaand that's another game ordered. I expect nothing less than greatness. Heavy vs. Max is a dream come true.

[GinnyN]

I'll wait. I promise myself I will never again buy something from Telltale until my last order arrives.

But my problem goes with the following: When ends Fall?

[RingmasterJ5]

I'll buy it, but not until I get more money next week.(I'll have enough for this, the posters, and the Freelance Police DVD set.)

[Shwoo]

I'll wait. I promise myself I will never again buy something from Telltale until my last order arrives.

But my problem goes with the following: When ends Fall?
21st of December by US standards, I think.

[Cormorant5]

Because they say it's so different in the description. I want it more or less depending on the gameplay. Is there online? Is it just those people or multiple from the universe they come from? Can you select your character or is it random? Is it normal poker or is there some sort of extra charge you use to increase some doohickey, is there scouts instead of jacks, and stuff like that, you know? Just one little trailer, unless it's terrible I have 5 bucks waiting to be spent.

[guybrush20X6]

I'm gonna hold out and see if thier are any TF2 bounuses to be gained from ordering on steam.

[Blooglspash]

I don't know if I should order the movie posters with this or wait until a possible bigger percent off when I order the Universal games.

[RMJ1984]

So as the Title implies. i guess we can assume all sorts of funny business, that each character has an inventory, with all sorts of stuff that can be used when playing, maybe also insults and stuff lol

[Steve2911]

This would be the absolutely perfect Poker game if they could have thrown in Winslow. xD

[Blooglspash]

This would be the absolutely perfect Poker game if they could have thrown in Winslow. xD

Winslow: Does this game have a map?

[RingmasterJ5]

Hmm, I might even get the Symbiotes with this discount.

[BadStrong]

Woa-ho! Poker! Never saw that coming.

[StrongBrush1]

Yeah, NEVER Saw that coming.

But seriously. This thing has the quality of an awesome sauce. That makes it SAWESOME!

PS, I wonder if they'll use my sketch as concept art.

[GinnyN]

21st of December by US standards, I think.

Well, at least I'll have until Christmas.

I think it's better order the DVDs while I'm at it.

[JFreeman]

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

[Steve2911]

Ah crap, I ordered the signed S&M poster yesterday, knew I should have waited!

[Blooglspash]

Ah crap, I ordered the signed S&M poster yesterday, knew I should have waited!

"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.

Wow a poker game

Oh, who cheated? WHO LOOKED AT MY HAND?

[Irishmile]

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

[JonSaskawan]

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

[olimango]

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.

[GinnyN]

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

Or screenshots or something...

[toa1995]

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.

[Wapcaplet]

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.

[olimango]

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.

[Tjibbbe]

The background of the frontpage changed. You can see Strong Bad, Max and the Heavy. I guess the trailer is really, really close now.

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.

Strong Bad shoveling the chips is brilliant!

[BoneFreak]

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.

[Ribs]

High res's are up of the screens over at vip.telltalegames.com.

[toa1995]

Hmm I wonder if Max or Heavy will comment of Strong Bad, and possibly Tycho, being in 2-D?

[anglerush]

I wonder who will be Tycho's voice actor?

[Tjibbbe]

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.

[Blooglspash]

If you zoom in on this picture (http://vip.telltalegames.com/files/pokernight/screens090210/Poker%20Poster%20Tycho%203x6.jpg) you can see that Tycho is a 3D model!

[wellgolly]

Hmm I wonder if Max or Heavy will comment of Strong Bad, and possibly Tycho, being in 2-D?

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.

[toa1995]

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)

[Tjibbbe]

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.

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.

[RingmasterJ5]

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"

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?

[Ribs]

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

Hopefully no one says Falafel or family!

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.

Tycho in the engine's not ready for prime time yet, which is why he's not in screenshots quite yet.

This and Puzzle Agent make me curious about Telltale's attempt at non-episodic games.

[DJ Teh Cheat]

Dang, I gotta make sure I pre-order this when I get Sam & Max Season 3 on Saturday. Looks like crazy fun.

It's odd to see the clash of art styles here. Tycho and Strong Bad are kind of cel-shaded, while Sam & Heavy are more traditional based. There probably will be a ton of lampshading (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LampshadeHanging) about that.

Will that feature be Steam-only, or will it somehow work with all purchases?

[mightypiratetm]

I peorder it from steam!

[LowMoralFiber]

Looks pretty AWESOME!

But we're gonna have the original voice actors, right? I don't know about Tycho, but if you don't have Gary Schwartz, Matt Chapman and William Kasten you can FORGET IT!

[JonSaskawan]

Forget what I said about this being a wasted potential. This could be the most ambitious Telltale Game yet. Ho boy!

[toa1995]

I Cant wait! i want to see this go over well so we can get more stuff like this. I love the idea of 4 characters from different universes just getting together to play cards (or maybe more in the future!)

[Fancy Worm]

Are there going to be unlockable characters?

That would be SO COOOOL....
Sybil Pandemik - former World Poker Champion.

[toa1995]

They need the spy to be disguised as max. then Max will come in guns'a'blazing, kill the spy, and that art (with heavy shooting his gun) will come true! (I can dream)

[BiggerJ]

It looks like characters will bet their possessions as well as chips (and each character will have a unique reaction to winning each item). Time to guess what's up for grabs!

Heavy: Sasha (confirmed), Sandvich
Tycho: Decent fantasy novels? Tabletop RPG stuff?
Max: The Luger
Strong Bad: Video games, action figures, stuff he made that he claims is awesome and a good investment, Strong Sad's possessions

[ShaggE]

While I'm mildly disappointed that there are only four characters (I know the workload would multiply exponentially with every extra character so that they can all interact), this marks the very first time that I've been excited about a poker game.

And I *love* that Tycho won't be family-friendly'd up. It'll be jarring to hear him cussing out Strong Bad (how did you get the Chaps to agree to this, again?), but the guy comes from a comic that has a Fruitfucker in it, so it's only right that his language is blue.

[BiggerJ]

It'll be jarring to hear him cussing out Strong Bad (how did you get the Chaps to agree to this, again?)

Maybe each character's 'rules' could bleed out a little to those who interact with them.

"Fudge you, you butt-playing-with bundle of sticks! Wait, what the heck?"
"Welcome to my world, Captain Pottymouth. Talk to me and it's PG all the way!"
"Well, at least I can still use my self-invented racist slur, you stupid Chuwero."

Closet Full of Neat Crap: Win every gambled item at least once.

And assuming that Texas Hold 'Em is playable...

If There Is A God He Hates You: Get 2-7 offsuit, the worst hand in Texas Hold 'Em.
Dangeresque is My Only Name: Win at Texas Hold 'Em with 2-7 offsuit, the worst hand possible.

I only have one question: Will we be able to turn down the graphics to Quality 1 or will it be forced Qality-Setting 4 like in Puzzle Agent. (giving me an unbearable playing experience)

The Steamworks-powered game has "more than a few surprises" still up its sleeve, according to its creators.

just maybe we will see achievements but when i see the phrase "more than a few surprises". It makes me think maybe there will be some Hats for Tf2 or more playable TF2 guys or maybe play as Glados. Think about it Glados playing poker how awesome would that be.

Well I don't want to destroy your hopes but it will be released in November.

With that price, that discount and so many people still about to order Sam & Max merch, it's like they're giving this away for free! Good thing Steam is so popular..
Have you guys noticed the "unusual setting" yet? "The Inventory" sounds like some kind of warehouse, but the screenshots tell a different tale; very classic-y, and a lot of books in the background.

[Toast_Burner]

Did anyone expect anything over then a card game?

[Sir Pantalones]

Why is Tycho the only one not in 3D?

And judging by the screenshots, it seems like he isn't even shown at the table.

Does this mean you play as Tycho in a first-person view...?

EDIT: Never mind, didn't read a few pages back.

[BiggerJ]

As for language, the game will either be bleeped or have an option to bleep.

Just a heads-up: ff you guys don't make bleeping optional, a lot of people will yell at you very, very loudly.
