Irony is win, fail, and at the same time.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

Do not speak of Irony. You know naught of what you do not speak of.

[MichaelXX2]

That's ironic, because yes I do.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

Hey, juys! New stuff for Poker Night at the Inventory!
There's a new trailer on the official Telltale website. It also has a wiki page, for those who care about that sort of thing.

The game should be out sometime this month, so Cheat Commandos...
DISCUSS!

[MichaelXX2]

LAWL THIS GAME IS FAIL I REMEMBER WHEN THEY WERE GOOD
THESE THINGS WERE BETTER WHEN THEY WERE LIKE 5 MINUTES LONG

And that's why you should never take acetaminophen on an empty stomach. Time for Michwal's widdle twanquawizer nap now!

[MichaelXX2]

What, you've never heard of Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series before?! The second picture was a dead giveaway!

[Uzi-Bazooka]

Yeah, that sounds dumber than dumb. And that's not even the same lame game! (Or SLG.)

[MichaelXX2]

No, it's a redub of all the episodes and they're all hilarious.

Anyone else scared ****less by Tycho's eyes? They look.. weird, somehow.

No.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

It is kind of scary when they turn red. Then again, maybe that's normal. I have never read Penny Arcade, you see.
By the way, Wheelsacksonborough-san, did you notice the elements of Attack the Dog in the theme? Think about the first little opening bit from AtD, if you missed it. dun-Dun-DUN-dun...

Naw, the red eyes is a normal thing (I've started reading Penny Arcade ever since this thing was announced). I just think the eyes look weird in general. It's probably just one of those aspects that sometimes doesn't translate well from 2D to 3D.

I noticed bits of the Office music and the Dangeresque theme in it, but I didn't pick up any Attack the Dog. Surprising, since that's one of my favorite pieces of Sam & Max music. I'll give 'er another listen.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

It starts when the words "PLAYING WITH YOU" appear, and kinda continues from then on.
And I noticed the Dangeresque theme too, of course, but didn't comment on it because I was afraid I would clog the whole topic with something along the lines of...

Spoiler:

Just something to consider.

[The Wheelchair]

We have Dangeresque fanboys/girls here?
Oh yeah, Falc impersonated him for a while. And nothing says dedication like identity theft!

[Uzi-Bazooka]

Yeah, and ME! Everyone knows I'VE been obsessed with Dangeresque FOREVER! I didn't take his name because I didn't dare disturb the semi-holy sanctity of his awesomeness.

[The Wheelchair]

Oh yeah, you made that email show with the crappy pictures.
Oh well, I disturbed the sanctity already, so you got nothing to worry about.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

I'll sanctify you upside the HEAD, tha's what.

[The Wheelchair]

I'll sanctify you upside the HEAD, tha's what.

Oh yeah!? Well how about I tell you that Flint Paper is the villain of Season 3!?

Did I fool him? Do you think he believed that?

[Uzi-Bazooka]

FLINT PAPER WOULD NEVER BE THE VILLAIN OF ANYTHING EVER. FLINT PAPER IS THE SECOND-COOLED HARD-BERLED PRIVATE EYE IN THE BUSINESS. AFTER DANGERESQUE, OF COURSE.

[Uzi-Bazooka]

It was supposed to be out today.
...
...

It's not out.
Considering Telltale's relationship with deadlines, I probably shouldn't be surprised. Telltale and Deadlines split up a while ago, but Telltale just won't let go, and they're all like, "Yeah, we're gonna get this game out in two days," and then they DON'T. They just can't accept that they are THROUGH with deadlines. And they end up trapped in a WEB OF FALSE PROMISES THAT HURTS EVERYONE AROUND THEM.
It's so sad.

[The Wheelchair]

I played some Poker Night today, I did I did.
It's pretty freakin' great. It's as funny as you'd expect from Telltale, and the poker's solid too. It's got some good replay value too with the unlockable cards and tables.
I'd gladly drop some more cash is Telltale wants to release expansions with different characters. Bubs, Momma Bosco, The Medic, and Gabe? Anyone? No one?

[Uzi-Bazooka]

Yeah. I expected this to be a game I would play once or twice, and then be all like, "Ha...okay, it's not funny anymore ever again. I'm gonna go play something with better replay value...like Culture Shock."
But this is a very awesome game. In fact, it might be my FAVORITE TELLTALE GAME OF ALL TIME.
I don't want it to be this way. It's kinda slow on my computer, I've never played Poker before (though I still managed to beat every character at least once), I don't own TF2 (though I'm working on it) or Penny Arcade...but I LOVE it!
It doesn't hurt that Van Winslow plays a substantial role. I keep waiting to hear something about a map.
Regrettably, I didn't have time to play a whole tournament, and have thus won absolutely nothing. But I'm going back. I WILL TRY AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME?

Oh, and for those who haven't played it yet, the first thing you should do is go to settings and turn the dialogue ALL THE WAY UP. 'Less you want the hilarity to be limited to "I check. I fold. I raise."

[The Wheelchair]

I've played three tournaments and lost 'em all, but somehow I had a blast losing.
I forgot to mention Winslow's appearance. Really, the whole opening scene was great. Did you happen to notice the Banang in the air vent on the way down the elevator?
