Poker Night at the Inventory

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 23:43, 4 September 2010

A different kind of poker night.

Poker Night at the Inventory is an upcoming game by Telltale Games that features Strong Bad, Max (from Sam & Max: Freelance Police), Tycho (from Penny Arcade), and the Heavy (from Team Fortress 2). Telltale promises that it will feature "a new style of poker", presumably in a similar manner to that in the company's other card game, Telltale Texas Hold 'Em. One confirmed feature is that characters eventually bet their possessions in the game, such as the Heavy's minigun, Sasha. Early screenshots show it taking place in a library or similar location. The in-game models are the same as used in their respective games, so Strong Bad stands out against the more realistically shaded characters (along with Tycho, who also gets a cell-shaded cartoon look). It is set to be released in fall 2010.

Fun Facts

• This is the first time a Homestar Runner character has been in a game with characters from other video game franchises.
• Uncensored swears will be in the game (with the option to bleep them out), as seen with Tycho's promotional artwork. This would be a first for the family-friendly Homestar Runner cartoon as well.
• The title suggests that the game involves gambling.
