There hasn't been a backstage crossover in a long time. No real plot, just characters chilling and being themselves outside of their respective elements, talking to each other in playful ways.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this: These games made me happy and kept me sane during the early months of the covid pandemic. Right when I was an anxious mess, locked inside, not knowing what was going to happen, playing this was an honestly relaxing way to pass the time. Ironically enough, it also made me understand probability just as much. I hope that either the reborn company, or another one wishing to make a spiritual sequel, makes a sequel.
Ah i knew that 900 hours of Borderlands 2 was worth something. Grand video and all. Miss the old Poker Night games, I'm hoping even a third one to launch out of the water but that'll be a blue moon until that happens.
Oh yeah I suppose also all the console ports for Poker Night 2 were solely for Borderlands 2 unlocks on those. Salt on the wound though, the SHIFT codes (Borderlands' weird social media key system ) expired as I'd assume around the time the games were pulled off, making them unrecoverable on the current console versions. Even PC you can kind of get them through save file editing, so that's a shame I won't get Maya's dumb poker visor.
I bought Poker Night 2 at one of Steam's sales and absolutely loved it (even though I knew nothing about poker). I even thought of a new Poker Night with Lycan from Dota, Bigby Wolf from Fables, Wei Shen from Sleeping Dogs and someone else as the 4th one I can't remember at the moment
Niko Bellic, Peacock (skullgirls), G-man (bartender maybe? Or like GlaDOS), Leper (darkest dungeon), maybe someone from fallout new vegas, Doomguy (could be bartender), anyone from Bioshock too, Samurai Jack, Kim Katsuragi... I think these would fit right in.
@@Pulpo_Pol needs to be a mix of cartoonish, serious, absurd and straight edge. Have characters who bounce off each other flawlessly. We definitely need an edge lord here to give that comedic platinum cringe of him getting pissed that everyone doesnt believe he has infact done the shit he claims.
I love that the idea is video game characters playing poker but only two of them are from a video game, and even one of those is like, half video game half TV show/comic series
Sam & Max is what led me to discovering the poker night games and god, I fell in love almost instantly. I had the chance to buy the games, but I didn’t! And now, every time I think about it, I just get this emotional pain and feeling of regret. God, I just wish I had bought these games and not held myself back.
hey man, thanks for the shout! not sure how i'm only just seeing this. i think we all share the same sentiment - reinstatement (and a third poker night?) would be awesome, there's no other crossover title quite like it. sadly, with all the old staff gone, i don't think LCG entertainment has any serious plans. if they had the passion for it, they could probably re-license the characters from PN1, but i don't see PN2 coming back anytime soon.
Yeah, the rights holders of PK1 are much easier to acquire, outside of the Heavy, they are small comic or internet cartoon properties owned by friendly people who were very involved in PK1. But PK2 is with much larger name characters and franchises with Borderlands, Venture Brothers, Portal, and Army of Darkness. That would likely cost a lot of money to reacquire for little reward
I’m glad somebody is giving these games some more time in the spotlight; as someone who found these games long past their takedown from the Steam Store they’ve always intrigued me, and the character dialogue is a big selling point for me personally. And while it is sad that they can’t be purchased anymore, technically you *kind of* can still get them. Steam Keys for both PN1 and PN2 are still out there and alive, which is actually how I got my hands on the games back in 2021 for my birthday; you just have to know where to look for them
There was nothing I loved more than taking out Brock and watching him bounce between unbridled fury and respect for actually beating him, like I always felt like a winner when I beat brock
I remember having a dream lineup for Poker Night 3. I think the roster was like - Sully from Uncharted, Rick from Rick and Morty, Handsome Jack from Borderlands and then Archer from Archer. Oh, and Telltale’s Joker would be the dealer. I always had fun imagining new characters that would be perfect for a sequel. It’s still one of my favorite games to this day.
Also, heres my interesting lineup. Not a dream one, Idk how that would ever look. Kratos from the reboot god of war trilogy, Rebecca from Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Harley Quinn from her own animated tv series, (yes that one which is rated R. That was fun as hell), and Cortex from Crash Bandicoot.
ive always been super iffy on a pn3 lineup, but i think wallace from wallace & gromit and lieutenant columbo would be really funny picks. king dice would make for a cool dealer
I asked chat gpt to select characters for a poker night game. It gave me Garrus, the Soldier from tf2, Reagan Ridley from Inside Job, and Blitz from helluva boss. They had some interesting conversations.
As a helluva boss fan I think this would only work if everyone else constantly made fun of blitzo and limited how much he was in control of the conversation
@@absollnk that’s kinda what happened. His conversations tended to be more of him talking a big game but no one else buying it and everyone being able to easily dissect his claims. There was also a bit where the Blitz mentioned teaming up with the Soldier to steal a horse from Redmond Mann. I’m toying with whether or not I should write an expansion of that idea myself.
@@River_Da_Bunny The Soldier continued his patriotic rants, now directing them towards Garrus. "You know Garrus, if you ever decide to leave C-Sec, you should consider joining RED. You would make a great addition to our team. Hell, why don’t you ditch your third rate Turian citizenship and become an American!" Garrus sighed, feeling increasingly annoyed by the Soldier's comments. "Thanks for the offer, Soldier, but I'm content with my current job. Besides, I'm not sure I'm cut out for the kind of work you do." "Nonsense!" the Soldier exclaimed. "You're a warrior, Garrus. You belong on the front lines with us, fighting for freedom and democracy." Garrus shook his head. "I appreciate the sentiment, but I think I'll stick to law enforcement." The Soldier wouldn't let it go. "But think of all the benefits of being an American citizen! You get to vote, you get to carry guns, and you get to eat hot dogs whenever you want!" Garrus raised an eyebrow. "I can carry guns and eat hot dogs without being an American citizen, Soldier.” The Soldier stiffened at this. “You’ll be playing for a losing team, Vakarian,” he said, “America could easily break its foot off in Palaven’s ass!” Garrus was about to respond with some very well thought out points about Palaven’s military strength, but a quick look from Reagan made him change his mind. It was clear to both of them that the Soldier would not be dissuaded from his blind patriotism.
I miss this kinda of game cross promotion. At the end of the day, the goal is the same but I kinda like unlocks being tied to another game rather than just “BUY OUR 90$ CROSS OVER MEGA BUNDLE BEST DEAL!!!” For crossovers
I'm so glad I bought these games before the whole Tell Tale bankruptcy. I've only gotten some of the items but I still enjoy the character interactions and reacts. I loved the idea of crossing characters just playing a chill game of poker that I ended up making fan art in gmod of what a 3rd Poker Night might have looked like at the time.
I've bought Poker Night 2 second hand, and it was like 30 bucks, which for me is really expensive. However, the game is so amazing that I've never regretted it. But I do hope that they will both come back to Steam, however as you said, the chance of the second one coming back is not very high, so I wish for at least the first one to come back.
I gift wrapped my Enthusiast's Timepiece to a friend that I fell out of contact with 5 years ago. So I'm never getting that back either. We're in the same boat lol.
You know something that would be cool? A Poker night 3 with all the previous characters (or at least Brock, ash and heavy) and more others that appear in different levels or switch them around as to add more replayability. Also an online mode would be good because who wouldn't wanna play some poker with the boys as different characters and chat.
15:00 ashley j Williams being in his element in cross overs like agaisnt nemesis in dbd or fortnitemares will nevere get old as most other characters in said crossovers have no idea what to do
I remember buying poker night at the inventory for the items you get in TF2 but staying because it just captivated me. I miss telltale and honestly this was one of their best not because of story but because of the clear love for the source material
I occasionally redownload these games, just to relax and play poker, listen to them talk and background music really adds to the vibe and helps me focus on what move to make
My partner has both of these games still, and I can attest that they are so fun!!! Sadly they also traded away some of their items in TF2 and regret it tho lol. I hope these games can come back - Id like my own copies of them!
There's this online game called Strip Poker Night at the Inventory which well, is exactly what it suggests. You play strip poker with a bunch of characters from video games, anime, whatever. Honestly the nudity in that game isn't that appealing, I feel the real interesting part of that game is that its a poker game where you can choose from dozens of recognizable characters as the opponent with a lot of them having unique interactions with each other. Honestly I would actually like to see a SFW version because the character interactions are more interesting than just the titties.
Same lol. I was browsing *da site* in search for some good nsfw games and stumbled on this one. Its so fun to look for unique dialogs and jokes those characters tell. Oh, there's nudity too i guess but whatever xd
“oh yeah, the poker night games. i was gonna see if i could get a cheap steam key for ‘em but never got around to it. i’m sure they aren’t that expesi-“ **price: $100** [inhales] [exhales with rage]
I love this game because it combines my favorite videogame, team fortress 2, and my favorite TV show, the venture Bros. I could rattle off quotes and weapon stats for hours
I bought Poker Night 2 when some dude reviewed it in his random selection of intriguing games. And the only ones I knew in the game were Claptrap (because I saw a review on Borderlands 2) and Glados (because I played Portal). That was it. And these other characters have captivated me enough with their charisma and banter that I wanted to know more. I am really glad I got the game back when I did. It was a marvellous journey.
btw you can still get the game for free from the archive machine, i got it and its pretty fun all doe i have no idea wtf im doing (NO YOU CANT USE THE FREE VERSION FOR THE ITEMS)
I had both games, 1 and 2, and I still have 1. I refunded 2 shortly after I bought it cuz (a) it was genuinely pissing me off, and (b) I needed funds for another game. Aaaand then the purge happened without warning. Obviously, good at poker or not, I regret that decision, especially considering the fact that PN2 is the least likely to come back entirely due to Ash (getting Brock should be easy cuz AS is really lenient in terms of who/what they give their game licenses for, and Gearbox is bleeding money from their last Borderlands game, so getting Claptrap should be a piece of cake). But, I am glad I at least got the exclusive weapons, since PN2's shit was purely cosmetics. Really don't wanna pay like 4x the og price or more on the aftermarket for a fucking poker game. Also great video!!!
I regret passing up on the sequel and I agree there's no way that one is coming back. I just played the original so close to when the sequel came out, I didn't feel like spending money on another poker game, regardless of how funny it might have been. But I should have thought more about the licenses and how unlikely it would be for that game to stay on the store forever.
My favorite quote from Poker Night 2: Claptrap: Well of COURSE you won with THOSE cards!! Even Steve could’ve won with those cards, and all he can say is “Hey-o!!” Steve: HEYO- Claptrap: *SHUT THE FUCK UP STEVE!!!!!!!!!!* And people say I’M annoying!!
I really hope someone buys the rights to the pokernight games and puts them back on steam like the homestar runner game, because while these games look really good, i dont wanna spend 80+ so i can get a chance (you could get scammed) to play poker with a rare chance at tf2 items
This is a long shot idea, but what if instead of using mainstream fictional characters for another PNATI games, we picked characters from web indie series (video games, online episodic series, comics, short film franchises). I think the reason for both Poker games to be taken off from steam mainly because of expired licenses for each character based on their respective corporate owners (Valve Co, Gearbox, Warner Media/Cartoon Network, Renaissance Pictures), that and also TellTale going through their first bankrupt general assignment before their comeback in Oct 2018, with the Pokoer games delisted on 2019. If it is negotiable with independent creators to still own the rights to their characters while having the indie Poker games still available for purchase without any licensing issues like the past two games, maybe it's possible to make an inspired spoof adaption based on the PNATI games? Personally I thought of the players Margo (Hands Up), Shrike (Monkey Wrench), Geronimo (Geronimo & Heatstepper), and Killgar (Starbarians), and the dealer would be Wink (Wimp Witch), the bartender would be the bartender red girl from the web game Bar-I-Tone, and the host would be Pod-Chan. All series and characters are based from the frontpage of Newgrounds and are independent sci-fi animated series (exception of Pod-Chan being the mascot of the Newgrounds Podcast and the bartender from a western theme short game), and the name of the game would be called "Poker Night at the Portal". There also also some additional game mechanics I have thought of to make it a little more unique compared to the previous two poker games (additional game modes, conversing with characters option), and the bounty challenges would be unlockables to use as skins or in-game decorations from Steam Games that came from the community at Newgrounds (Cult of the Lamb, Madness: Project Nexus, SkullGirls, etc).
Did you know: you could,ve gotten max's severed head as a hat in tf2 from this game and now that its unlisted max's head is worth 60 dollars and max's pistol the big kill is worth 20
No you had to buy a sam and max game not the poker night game, either on steam or on the telltale games store, but heavy makes a reference to the hat in the poker night game saying he'll make a hat out of max
You know, i would like Poker Night 3 to involve a character from Destiny 2. And if you win a game, you'll get a chance to win an exotic to be used in Destiny 2.
Well, SBCGFAP isn't on sale anymore. Sad day for us Homestar fans. By the way, would you be willing to open game sharing to a few people so they can get the Poker Night items, and also just because when else are you gonna see Strong Bad and Heavy TF2 in the same room playing poker?
I'm personally not comfortable with sharing my account with someone I don't know so it hasn't really crossed my mind. It's not a thing I would be against, but I have to already trust the person if it's someone online. And yeah, a real shame about SBCG4AP, but at least they're still making new Homestar games!
Now if i had to make the roster for a potential third game i would pick papyrus from undertale, peppino Spaghetti from pizza tower, vector from sonic and pico from picos school (the friday night funkin version to be exact) with caine from the amazing digital circus as the dealer and grillby from undertale and an omochao from sonic as the bartender duo with omochao serving the Drinks and grillby preparing them and the table unlockables would be grillby's or alphys's lab from undertale, green hill from sonic, john gutter or pizzascape from pizza tower, a bloody school for picos school and the gloink cave from the amazing digital circus pilot with the bounty items being a mew mew figure from alphys, a gun from pico, the mushroom toppin for peppino, the severed head of the annoying hermit crab badnik from that one chaotix mission in sonic heroes and pommis hat from TADC and the special costunes to match the table unlockables would be black and white papyrus to reference that when in battle in undertale your opponent is in black and white, picos old look fron the original flash game he comes from, classic vector from knuckles chaotix, pixelated peppino and fir the gloink cave we have pomni peppino, papyrus dressed as jax, vector representing kinger and pico looking like caufmk before he got abstracted and bubble would be by caines side and for the special themed eliminations in john gutter pizzaface wozld show uo and chase the eliminated contestant with peppinos elimination having the two battle in the backround, for the undertale theme sans would shpw up to give the busted out contestant a bad time and for papyrus's elimination the two just leave and walk home or as a reference to dusttale sans would teleport papyrus away with his hood up, the green hill theme would have charmy and espio show up beat ul the eliminated contestant with the papyrus animation having the chaotix fight sans with vector also joining in and getting busted out becuase of it and in the vector Elimination the chaotix trio do a stage performance changing the music from green hill to a remix of the chaotix music from sonic heroes with the voice actors for the chaotix taking turns with the lyrics, for the picos school eliminations cassandra would break into the inventory and transform into her true form with the contestant fighting her with at the end if the round cassandra is finally killed for good and the inventory is saved with the backround becoming more and more chaotic with sans, papyrus, the chaotix, peppino and gustavo and pico and darnell fighting her and in the backround during the fight grillby and omochao hide behind the counter and in the digital Circus themed Eliminations caine sends the busted out contestant into the cellar to suffer with the other abatracted abominations
Joke answer: He's relaxing :) Real answer: When a character busts out when the Venture Bros. set is applied they'll get teleported away from the table. It always malfunctions so one half of a character is at one place and the other half is at another.
I don't know how to play poker. But I regret not getting into it while this game was on Xbox. I don't care to jump through the steam key hoops let alone play games at my computer desk
I was 1 when poker night at yhe inventory came out and the only reason I know about the games now is because of sam and max but i was just to late and can't get them anymore
Strip Poker Night at the Inventory? The browser-based poker game where hundreds of characters play adult games together while talking between themselves, created by dedicated fans of said characters that make sure they're well-written, well-drawn and well-represented out of the love they have for the characters? Never heard of it tbh
@@underplayer420 Perhaps it's because of the different ways there is to interact with the game outside of the game itself, like engaging with the community through the discord servers, the subreddit, listening to the podcast, seeing the fanart or buying the merchandise 🤔
man. i will never understand why fucking tycho brahe is in poker night. like he just seems like such a wildcard. a character from an obscure webcomic about games while heavy tf2, max and strongbad sit at the same table. just wild.
I never really read it but Penny Arcade isn't really an "obscure" webcomic especially by 2010 standards. They were one of the first creators to get big enough to make it thier full time job, and they set enough of the trends in the medium that basically every gaming webcomic got called "another PA rippoff". That and PAX being one of the larger international conventions aimed at gaming standing for Penny Arcade Expo. It's hard to compare numbers that aren't apples to oranges but for the little it's worth PA webcomic in 2010 had about 3 and a half mil readers, while TF2 the best numbers I could get was a peak of 45 thousand peak concurrent players. And that's to say nothing of Strong Bad
@@BarefootCM TIL! I just assumed it was obscure since the first time I had ever heard of it was from this game and I haven't really heard the penny arcade comic brought up...ever tbh
These games are fun for a minute, but get boring fast once you have exhausted all the unique lines. For 5$ they're just what you expect, a short bit of fun.
Alright can you nerds stop asking people to game share these with you? Go to a steam forum or something.

I love this game because it combines my favorite videogame, team fortress 2, and my favorite TV show, the venture Bros. I could rattle off quotes and weapon stats for hours
I bought Poker Night 2 when some dude reviewed it in his random selection of intriguing games. And the only ones I knew in the game were Claptrap (because I saw a review on Borderlands 2) and Glados (because I played Portal). That was it. And these other characters have captivated me enough with their charisma and banter that I wanted to know more. I am really glad I got the game back when I did. It was a marvellous journey.
1:09 I ALMOST LAUGHED AT THIS PART💀💀💀
8:05 the entire backstory is dark if you ask me
Really sucks that they removed em on Steam.
I fortunately got Poker Night 2 on Steam.
this game gave me a poker fixation and i think im now doomed to become a gambling addict when legally allowed
I love the whole vibe...I hope some day we get more stuff like this...
btw you can still get the game for free from the archive machine, i got it and its pretty fun all doe i have no idea wtf im doing (NO YOU CANT USE THE FREE VERSION FOR THE ITEMS)
Whats wild is that people who has keys for this game sell them for over 100 dollars
Ngl Brock Samson would definitely laugh at heavy's joke about engineer, it's so sad they weren't in the same game.
I had both games, 1 and 2, and I still have 1. I refunded 2 shortly after I bought it cuz (a) it was genuinely pissing me off, and (b) I needed funds for another game. Aaaand then the purge happened without warning.
Obviously, good at poker or not, I regret that decision, especially considering the fact that PN2 is the least likely to come back entirely due to Ash (getting Brock should be easy cuz AS is really lenient in terms of who/what they give their game licenses for, and Gearbox is bleeding money from their last Borderlands game, so getting Claptrap should be a piece of cake). But, I am glad I at least got the exclusive weapons, since PN2's shit was purely cosmetics.
Really don't wanna pay like 4x the og price or more on the aftermarket for a fucking poker game.
Also great video!!!
this for me turned into "ill pick it up next sale" until the game got delisted
Heres the thing I actually wanted to play the games
That thumbnail is badass as hell!
I regret passing up on the sequel and I agree there's no way that one is coming back. I just played the original so close to when the sequel came out, I didn't feel like spending money on another poker game, regardless of how funny it might have been.
But I should have thought more about the licenses and how unlikely it would be for that game to stay on the store forever.
9:25 Strong Bad actually can't curse at all here, doesn't matter what settings you have, subtitles don't even show it either.
My favorite quote from Poker Night 2:
Claptrap: Well of COURSE you won with THOSE cards!! Even Steve could’ve won with those cards, and all he can say is “Hey-o!!”
Steve: HEYO-
Claptrap: *SHUT THE FUCK UP STEVE!!!!!!!!!!* And people say I’M annoying!!
Bro having Lee and Ash talk to eachother would be nice
I miss the Poker Night games too
I wish I bought these. Now I need like 70 dollars to get the tf2 and borderlands items. Damn.
once in a while watch old no commentary videos of poker night at the inventory
I want the iron curtain so baddd
Holy shit the sonic battle casino theme!!!! I think… i know Rouge the Bat had that theme for her stage.
I played poker night at the inventory for 10 hours and i still don’t know how to play Texas hold ‘em
It's pretty easy to learn honestly, you'll get there eventually. The hardest part is remembering straights for me
It's a good trilogy of games for sure
Man I wish you can still buy the poker night games still
I really hope someone buys the rights to the pokernight games and puts them back on steam like the homestar runner game, because while these games look really good, i dont wanna spend 80+ so i can get a chance (you could get scammed) to play poker with a rare chance at tf2 items
The worst part is that I mostly play as the blu engineer
They didn’t even record a line for Royal Flush. GLaDOs just straight up went to say Straight Flush when I got a Royal Flush.
At least we have the memories
This is a long shot idea, but what if instead of using mainstream fictional characters for another PNATI games, we picked characters from web indie series (video games, online episodic series, comics, short film franchises). I think the reason for both Poker games to be taken off from steam mainly because of expired licenses for each character based on their respective corporate owners (Valve Co, Gearbox, Warner Media/Cartoon Network, Renaissance Pictures), that and also TellTale going through their first bankrupt general assignment before their comeback in Oct 2018, with the Pokoer games delisted on 2019. If it is negotiable with independent creators to still own the rights to their characters while having the indie Poker games still available for purchase without any licensing issues like the past two games, maybe it's possible to make an inspired spoof adaption based on the PNATI games?
Personally I thought of the players Margo (Hands Up), Shrike (Monkey Wrench), Geronimo (Geronimo & Heatstepper), and Killgar (Starbarians), and the dealer would be Wink (Wimp Witch), the bartender would be the bartender red girl from the web game Bar-I-Tone, and the host would be Pod-Chan. All series and characters are based from the frontpage of Newgrounds and are independent sci-fi animated series (exception of Pod-Chan being the mascot of the Newgrounds Podcast and the bartender from a western theme short game), and the name of the game would be called "Poker Night at the Portal". There also also some additional game mechanics I have thought of to make it a little more unique compared to the previous two poker games (additional game modes, conversing with characters option), and the bounty challenges would be unlockables to use as skins or in-game decorations from Steam Games that came from the community at Newgrounds (Cult of the Lamb, Madness: Project Nexus, SkullGirls, etc).
5:23 *me owning a 20$ pistol reskin*
Did you know: you could,ve gotten max's severed head as a hat in tf2 from this game and now that its unlisted max's head is worth 60 dollars and max's pistol the big kill is worth 20
No you had to buy a sam and max game not the poker night game, either on steam or on the telltale games store, but heavy makes a reference to the hat in the poker night game saying he'll make a hat out of max
@@user-TheTrueGibly Well opinions are opinions
@@user-TheTrueGiblyyeah, you had to preorder devil's playhouse to get the hat
4:30 God this was the worst jump scare I've seen in a while. Can't believe you allowed the audio to get that crappy
@@xProErax you have no idea how happy this comment made me. Thank you for noticing.
You know, i would like Poker Night 3 to involve a character from Destiny 2. And if you win a game, you'll get a chance to win an exotic to be used in Destiny 2.
Well, SBCGFAP isn't on sale anymore. Sad day for us Homestar fans.
By the way, would you be willing to open game sharing to a few people so they can get the Poker Night items, and also just because when else are you gonna see Strong Bad and Heavy TF2 in the same room playing poker?
I'm personally not comfortable with sharing my account with someone I don't know so it hasn't really crossed my mind. It's not a thing I would be against, but I have to already trust the person if it's someone online. And yeah, a real shame about SBCG4AP, but at least they're still making new Homestar games!
Now if i had to make the roster for a potential third game i would pick papyrus from undertale, peppino Spaghetti from pizza tower, vector from sonic and pico from picos school (the friday night funkin version to be exact) with caine from the amazing digital circus as the dealer and grillby from undertale and an omochao from sonic as the bartender duo with omochao serving the Drinks and grillby preparing them and the table unlockables would be grillby's or alphys's lab from undertale, green hill from sonic, john gutter or pizzascape from pizza tower, a bloody school for picos school and the gloink cave from the amazing digital circus pilot with the bounty items being a mew mew figure from alphys, a gun from pico, the mushroom toppin for peppino, the severed head of the annoying hermit crab badnik from that one chaotix mission in sonic heroes and pommis hat from TADC and the special costunes to match the table unlockables would be black and white papyrus to reference that when in battle in undertale your opponent is in black and white, picos old look fron the original flash game he comes from, classic vector from knuckles chaotix, pixelated peppino and fir the gloink cave we have pomni peppino, papyrus dressed as jax, vector representing kinger and pico looking like caufmk before he got abstracted and bubble would be by caines side and for the special themed eliminations in john gutter pizzaface wozld show uo and chase the eliminated contestant with peppinos elimination having the two battle in the backround, for the undertale theme sans would shpw up to give the busted out contestant a bad time and for papyrus's elimination the two just leave and walk home or as a reference to dusttale sans would teleport papyrus away with his hood up, the green hill theme would have charmy and espio show up beat ul the eliminated contestant with the papyrus animation having the chaotix fight sans with vector also joining in and getting busted out becuase of it and in the vector Elimination the chaotix trio do a stage performance changing the music from green hill to a remix of the chaotix music from sonic heroes with the voice actors for the chaotix taking turns with the lyrics, for the picos school eliminations cassandra would break into the inventory and transform into her true form with the contestant fighting her with at the end if the round cassandra is finally killed for good and the inventory is saved with the backround becoming more and more chaotic with sans, papyrus, the chaotix, peppino and gustavo and pico and darnell fighting her and in the backround during the fight grillby and omochao hide behind the counter and in the digital Circus themed Eliminations caine sends the busted out contestant into the cellar to suffer with the other abatracted abominations
the reason people go for poker night 1 is to get the shades for the demopan
just because you suggested playing strong bad im not going to out of spite
15:26 ...what the hell is brock doing?
Joke answer: He's relaxing :)
Real answer: When a character busts out when the Venture Bros. set is applied they'll get teleported away from the table. It always malfunctions so one half of a character is at one place and the other half is at another.
feel like there's a better phrase I could have used than "busts out" but don't worry 'bout that.
If we were to get a new game I’d say coach from l4d2, Hoxton from payday 2, Zane Flynn from borderlands 3, and finally Lee from walking dead
Just came from that documentary
I don't know how to play poker. But I regret not getting into it while this game was on Xbox. I don't care to jump through the steam key hoops let alone play games at my computer desk
i bought them tho.. u can stil buy overpriced keys somewhere . i had the first game tho but i lost my account
you can buy poker night steam keys for like 20x the price
I was 1 when poker night at yhe inventory came out and the only reason I know about the games now is because of sam and max but i was just to late and can't get them anymore
Weirdly, I somehow got the BL2 bounties but never played Poker Night 2.
Thos game taught me how to play poker when I was 10
I wish there was a way to play this game again.
i got a steam key for the first game on my birthday. but gee.. just in the span of a couple months the game went from 60 bucks to 90 its insane
If they do make a poker night at the inventory 3 my character choices are between Barney Calhoun from half life 2 and nick from left 4 dead 2
telltale also made minecraft story mode.
Now do a vid on Strip Poker Night at the Inventory (real game btw made by passionate people and writers)
Based
@@BigBrosFilms Your based for knowing the game too.
I tip my hat to you, one legend to another
Strip Poker Night at the Inventory? The browser-based poker game where hundreds of characters play adult games together while talking between themselves, created by dedicated fans of said characters that make sure they're well-written, well-drawn and well-represented out of the love they have for the characters?
Never heard of it tbh
@@EteamProductions Dang! How do you know so much?
@@underplayer420 Perhaps it's because of the different ways there is to interact with the game outside of the game itself, like engaging with the community through the discord servers, the subreddit, listening to the podcast, seeing the fanart or buying the merchandise 🤔
Ah yes this niche shit that I really really fuck with
i can't believe strong bad said the f word, this can't be real 😭
I've always wondered why there wasn't a 5 card draw mode.
man. i will never understand why fucking tycho brahe is in poker night. like he just seems like such a wildcard. a character from an obscure webcomic about games while heavy tf2, max and strongbad sit at the same table. just wild.
I never really read it but Penny Arcade isn't really an "obscure" webcomic especially by 2010 standards. They were one of the first creators to get big enough to make it thier full time job, and they set enough of the trends in the medium that basically every gaming webcomic got called "another PA rippoff". That and PAX being one of the larger international conventions aimed at gaming standing for Penny Arcade Expo.
It's hard to compare numbers that aren't apples to oranges but for the little it's worth PA webcomic in 2010 had about 3 and a half mil readers, while TF2 the best numbers I could get was a peak of 45 thousand peak concurrent players. And that's to say nothing of Strong Bad
@@BarefootCM TIL! I just assumed it was obscure since the first time I had ever heard of it was from this game and I haven't really heard the penny arcade comic brought up...ever tbh
i will make hat from your head little bunny!
These games are fun for a minute, but get boring fast once you have exhausted all the unique lines. For 5$ they're just what you expect, a short bit of fun.
When i had just learned how to play poker was when they removed poker night from steam
We all do man we all do
What characters would you're dream Poker Night game have?
Tbh Telltale is in such a weird place now that I don't even know who they can even add at this point.
Batman.
I want Batman.
