Enter to Win the Poker Night at the Inventory Contest Here

[Alan Johnson]

This fall, we’re releasing Poker Night at the Inventory, a look at what Team Fortress 2’s Heavy, Penny-Arcade’s Tycho, and Strong Bad and Max of Telltale Games fame are up to after they clock out for the night. For this contest, incorporate the provided character images from the game into a non-poker related scene with the magic of Photoshop (or other editing software) then title it and post it in the contest thread HERE. During the Make a Scene with Telltale panel at PAX this year we tossed up some ‘prospective’ titles for Poker Night at the Inventory including Tax Returns at the Inventory and Badminton at the Inventory – use those as inspiration for your own scenes. I, along with input from the Telltale Team, will pick our five favorites at the end of the contest so be creative.

Now for the nitty-gritty about the contest. First, the prizes; each of the five winners will receive codes for the PC/Mac versions of Puzzle Agent and Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse. You have until 11:00 AM (Pacific Time) Monday, September 27 to post your entry in the thread - you can post up to three entries, but only win for one of them. If you were a winner in the last contest (PAX DeLorean) you can’t win this one (why would you, the prizes are the same), but show us your stuff anyway! Good luck!

[Remolay]

Glad we have a week, though someone will beat me to mine for sure.

[Secret Fawful]

Yes! Another one! WOO!

[SunnyGuy]

Awesome, another contest. Now I just need ideas.

Btw, if you win and already own any of the two prizes is it possible to exchange them for something else?

[aSak]

Good evening fellas. It's 04:21 AM here in Germany, I am very sleepy and I really don't know how to make a proper contest entry. Nonetheless I am trying. Here ya go. First and worst, including not even a slight piece of imagination and fancyness. :)

[Remolay]

so you know, I will be working on this for a few days, It will be titles Doctor Who at the Inventory, but It's really more Poker Night in the TARDIS

[Object404]

My first entry. Then after I finished it and re-read the rules, in all my excitement, I didn't realize it had to be a non-poker related scene. D'oh! I guess this doesn't count then...

Oh well, enjoy!

Poker Night at the Doghouse!

[Ribs]

Totally random request, but would really dig just a picture of the Inventory itself for 'X at the Inventory' as opposed to 'Poker Night at the X'

O hai, first entry.

[Object404]

Alrighty, here's my real first entry.

You know that list of things to do if you get a chance to travel through time and meet famous historical figures?

For some bizarre reason, this is always step one on everybody's list...

ROFL! :D

I love that Max is in the dryer. :)

Great use of the expression of Gabe, and the Heavy carrying so much laundry his head is obscured made me laugh too. :D

It also looks like Strong Bad is laughing that Gabe's Comic Con Sam & Max shirt turned pink, which is definitely something he would do. Good job all around. :)

I just noticed the MerLeader in the background. Nice! I love background jokes. :D

It might help us non-Photoshop users if someone posts the characters already cut out of the red backgrounds.

[JohnJohn]

Good Luck to all! :)

Not meaning to bother anyone by posting again, but I want to enter, and I'm horrid at "cutting" images.

[Gman5852]

Same here and I have a perfect idea(not going to say it so no one steals it.

[Ribs]

You people do know Photoshop has a trial?

[SunnyGuy]

Or that GIMP is free?

...Honestly I'd kill to get Photoshop again instead of GIMP but it gets the job done so *shrugs*

These two are supposed to be one entry together, but if an entry is per image, then this is two.

Could we win the Poker game instead of the other two games if we already have the other two games? Or maybe something from an interns desk?

[Admonisher]

Yeah, I'm in the "I already own just about every Telltale game!" camp. If I should win a duplicated game, it would be nice if it were "giftable," so I could share the love. Or if the dupes were substituted for a deck of Voodoo cards, maybe. :p

Also, Derwin ... diiiiiisturbing! :D

Sweet, good enough for me. I still want you to steal something from an intern's desk and mail it to me though, regardless of whether I win or not.

[Gman5852]

Or that GIMP is free?


Oh that might help me out a bit. I have been using Microsoft Paint. I actually started getting it to work but it was clear to figure out where i cut them off due to them being jagged(not badly but still obvious) and I needed a background and so far pure red was all I got, so...

Well... since all the characters are so epic, who better to portray them but Frank Frazetta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Frazetta), the most epic of all epic artists? :)

P.S.: Sorry for bad editing, haven't got normal editor on my work's PC. I'm working in big company as sysadmin... so now you know :)

[Serec]

Q-Ball, that looks ace.
I'd totally play a telltale fighting game. XD

Also, re-reading the thread, I noticed a few were asking for transparent cutouts of the characters.

Sooo...

Max (http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu300/Ceres_01/max.png)
Strongbad (http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu300/Ceres_01/SB.png)

[Javi-Wan Kenobi]

Well done, Q-Ball. I like how Strong Bad is BA.And The Heavy as Hannibal Smith looks great (his hands' position helps to the cigar effect) but... who exactly are Max and Tycho?
The obvious guess maybe is that Max is Murdock and Tycho is Face, but looking at their faces, Tycho seems more madman to me...

[PersonPerson]

quick question can we include other characters besides the 4?

The title says it all about my entry.

You guys have about 7 minutes left to get your entries in! Good luck!

I hope I win...

But all these entries are so good.

[Alan Johnson]

Ok, time to start picking the winners! I'll announce the winners in this thread later today.

Thanks for playing everyone!

Sorry about that. Yeah I stated clearly, in bold, on the rules post about the end time.

You have until 11:00 AM (Pacific Time) Monday, September 27

There will be more contests so you can totally enter those.

[RingmasterJ5]

YEah, I was trying to use Paint anyeay, so it wouldn't have won. My theme was Brawl at the Inventory using a Super Smash Bros Brawl screenshot.

[ABlackEyedPea]

I really wanted to do a "Night at the Roxbury" parody. My work would be cut out for me, then.

OH WELL

[koiboi59]

i was gonna do a "robbery at the inventory" but my photoshop/gimp skills are so bad.

And if you're wondering where Serec's Telltale Kart at the Inventory (LINK (http://i657.photobucket.com/albums/uu300/Ceres_01/telltalekart.jpg)) is, that wins too. The sheer magnitude of the entry led me to make it a sixth winner.

Congratulations to all of our winners. Keep an eye on your 'My Games' tab. I'll be adding the prize games to your accounts.

Thanks for playing everyone! I'll be holding more contests soon!

EDIT: Please send me a PM if you want your prize codes as gifts. I won't add anybody's games for a while as I wait for word. I remember Admonisher mentioning gift codes. Let me know! Thanks!

I didn't win that one too : ( Ok, maybe next time... I hope there will be next time soon...

BTW. I'm suprised that Senec's entry (Karts) was merely an extra winner - I was sure it will be at least on top :P

It wasn't really an 'extra' winner but more of a 'let's level the playing field' move.

[Jennifer]

Congratulations everyone! There were some really, really good ones in here this time. :)

I can't wait to see what kind of art the next competition inspires. :)

lOh, and that Futurama one should totally win, solely for the Zoidberg/Strongbad mash-up. XD
Thanks. :D The Zoidberg Strong Bad one was the most fun to make. :) I tried to base the character mashups on the character's personalities. Max was Bender because he mentioned he'd love to have a robot body. :) Strong Bad was Zoidberg because in the Strong Bad email animal he mentioned he'd like to have claws and tentacles (and because I'm sure he'd think he looked awesome that way ;)). Tycho was Professor Farnsworth because of his tirades that end in tales of mass destruction.

I never played Team Fortress 2, so I have no idea what the Heavy's personality is like. I just made him the Hyperchicken purely for giggles. :D

[SunnyGuy]

Congrats to the winners, you guys seriously deserved it.

Congratulations to other winners and to everyone else who entered. You guys are all awesome. A lot them were really hilarious and had me in stitches!

As for mad photoshop skillz & wizardry, don't worry: concept, creativity & imagination trump knowledge of tools any day for lols!

Will spread the word on the next contest, hopefully even more people & wacky entries pop up :)

Wow congrats, my favorite was telltale kart, im sure almost all of us think so do we?
