Poker Night at the Inventory
From Homestar Runner Wiki
"There's no quicker way to turn the hotties off than by being a terrible poker player man." — Strong Bad
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 Heavy Weapons Guy (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. Matt Chapman, besides providing the voice of Strong Bad, was heavily involved in the writing of his dialog, similar to how he worked with Telltale on Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.
Characters each start with $10,000. 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 speakeasy, with the premise that the characters are spending their off hours playing poker. Between playing hands, the characters will talk to each other. For example, Strong Bad realizes he's a licensed character that was exploited by Telltale Games, as based on Behind The Bad.
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 cel-shaded cartoon look). It is set to be released in fall 2010.
