Telltale Games has announced what it's calling "the Citizen Kane of poker games," and it might be right -- Poker Night at The Inventory sounds like the best thing ever.
The game will star Penny Arcade's Tycho, Max of Sam & Max, they Heavy from Team Fortress, and Homestar Runner's Strong Bad. They're going to -- get this -- play poker. The game features fully-voiced characters, and will used Telltale's dynamic dialogue system as the character trash talk each other, tell stories, and react to the game in progress.
Poker Night at The Inventory will be available on Steam this fall for both PC and Mac, and will cost $4.99.

Can somebody PLEASE explain to me how?
So simple, but awesome, I hope there will be more later.
I'd buy that.
Until now. :O)
Still look nice, insane, and fun.
Valve and Telltale games are practically best friends. TF2 got content to promote Sam & Max pre-orders a while back on Steam, and I'm sure Valve is going to get a cut of this, either for licensing the character or the Steam sales.
Also, I would love to see a fully voiced Tycho.
Guess you missed the part where it's only $5.
Wonder if there'll be a TF2 hat to promote this. :D
"I so want this. I'm calling it right now for when the inevitable DLC comes out it will have Spy, Fruit Fucker, Strong Sad, and and the head of Abraham Lincoln."
Hell, it IS Telltale. Get Guybrush Threepwood in on the action.
I see this having hilarious potential. And hell, $5 is a damn good value for aforementioned potential.
