That mysterious Telltale mashup game teased last week? Telltale laid its cards on the table, revealing ... Poker Night at the Inventory, the second "pilot" game from the adventure publisher, which brings Team Fortress 2's Heavy, Penny Arcade's Tycho, Homestar Runner's Strong Bad, and Sam & Max's Max together for a little good-natured gambling. Now, we know what you're thinking. How can Strong Bad play cards with boxing gloves on?

Poker Night at The Inventory features fully voiced characters utilizing Telltale's dynamic dialog system," according to the announcement. "All the characters will talk trash, give unique tells, and react to the game dynamically as it is being played, providing a unique experience with each round played." It also features Steamworks integration, a first for the publisher. Oh, and pre-orders from Telltale for the fall release ($4.95!) come with coupons for 25% off your order. If we knew the first thing about poker, we'd totally relate that to a hand of cards you'd be confident about holding.

Kinda saw the fact that it was a card coming.

Still gonna look into this. Wonder if they'll bring in the same VAs for Heavy and Strong Bad?

There can be only one *headsever* voice for strongbad.

Well all I know is that I can't wait to hear Strong Bad and Max have conversations in the game.

Or better yet, Max and the Heavy

New information:
*Tycho will be voiced by Andrew Chaikin, who voiced Max in the first episode of Sam and Max Season One. Max's current VA, William Kasten, will return as well as Gary Schwartz as the Heavy and Matt Chapman as Strong Bad.
*The characters will have "un-forced and natural" relationships with each other. For example, Strong Bad and Tycho will hate each other but Max and Tycho will like each other. The Heavy will love Max, feel wary of Tycho, and look upon Strong Bad as a "mini Heavy"
*Tycho's 3D model is expected to change
