Yep, I get the feeling that guaranteed it'll sell really well.
True, the facial animation is off, but I'm glad everyone's in their respective styles (i.e. various levels of cel-shading) and that Tycho is allowed to pretty much be Tycho, even with the bleeping.
The game is still a work-in-progress so not all of the animations are final at the moment.
Also, it's probably worth mentioning that you can turn the bleeps off, so don't worry about Tycho's dialogue being restricted by the bonds of "standards"...
I have to say that the item you get in TF2 from Tycho is perhaps the most brilliant. I'm sure Strong Bad's boxing gloves would have been an option if Heavy wasn't already in the game.
Poker Night at the Inventory is now available for pre-order. If you move fast, not only will you save 10% off the already low price, but you'll also pick yourself up a sweet pre-order bonus of this spiffy Poker Visor for your favorite Heavy. Once the game is released, you'll also be able to unlock new TF2 items by beating The Heavy, Max, Tycho, or Strong Bad at high stakes games of poker.
This is pretty exciting to us - it's the first time a game made by someone other than us allows you to find TF2 items by playing it. If you'd asked us, as we slaved away on TF2 back in '63, whether one day you'd be able to get the Heavy's first minigun off him by playing poker, we'd think you were nuts. Then we'd have hired you, because you had a vision for the future.
Telltale had a bundle with a bunch of their games being sold for charity a while ago, but I don't think there has been anything about Poker Night being for charity.
Also... i guess im the only person here who actually wants to play poker against these four. Seriously... i so want to. And i SUCK at poker.
I'm all for playing poker with them, but I'd be just as content having all the sound clips play in sequence while I sit there. That alone is bound to be worth the $5, getting to play poker during it is just a bonus.

I was sitting around earlier today, thinking a bit about how I'm looking forward to the BttF games coming soon. This got me thinking about what other 80's films would make awesome adventure games. And then it hit me.

For those of you monkeyboys who don't know the pain and awesomeness of that movie, It it called
Buckaroo banzai across the 8th dimension
(I loved it but there are some very poorly done scenes in it, every year it seems to be even more lame.)
I doubt they would be able to get the rights to it and I don't think anyone would give a damn. I don't even know if peter weller even cares about acting anymore.
A Release Date. Poker Night Has One
Posted by Alan November 16, 2010
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 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. Just be sure to do it before the game releases on the November 22!
How will you practice your poker playing skills before Poker Night releases?
Release Date, [strike]Tuesday[/strike] Monday Nov. 22nd. Mark it down!
Heavy plays aggressive, even when he has nothing he forges ahead boldly. He intimidated the fuck out of Tycho too during one conversation. In short, this is great!

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.
I just downloaded the whole thing quickly and easily (starting at my last post), installed and it plays fine, so I'm not sure what your troubles might be. I had preordered it too.
Oh man, I just took Max to the cleaners. He went all in with two pair, but mine was higher.
EDIT: AHAHAHAHA I just knocked out Tycho! Three of a kind to his two pair when he went all in, and he had this to say:
"Ladies, gents, it has been a pleasure. Also, go fuck your respective selves."
EDIT2: Either I'm really lucky or the AI is being totally reckless, Strong Bad just went all in and I eliminated him too, and got his Dangeresque shades!

I don't really like poker either (especially single player video poker) but will also buy it for this reason.

You hope they didn't rush Poker Night at the Inventory to make time for Back to the Future?!
Plus, you know.. Hats.
I'd buy this for $5 if it was for charity and also to see what other At the Inventory games they come up with
As it stands I don't care about a poker game
Fantastic
Went through the trilogy on Blu-ray this week and goddamn do I want that game now
Especially after hearing what Marty McFly's voice actor sounds like

Wow, that guy is pretty good.
Come on, Telltale. Make my dream come true.
I doubt they would be able to get the rights to it and I don't think anyone would give a damn. I don't even know if peter weller even cares about acting anymore.
