Apr 06, 2013 The Man Cave: Drinks for Poker Night. If you’re hosting poker night, don’t mess it up. There’s nothing worse than showing up to a bowl of pretzels and a 6-pack to share. If you’re going to invite us over for a night of cigars, drinking and poker, you need to actually supply those things. Pick up a few stogies, set up the table and mix some of these.

- This exchange:Strong Bad: I hear the Cold Ones here are pretty good.
Tycho: Aren't you, like, ten?
Strong Bad: You, shut face. They also shake up some decent... bananaang. Banang. Banaaa-aaang. Baaaaa-
Max: STOP IT!
...
Strong Bad:...nang. - When the Heavy gave an increasingly brutal story of how he dealt with an Engineer as if building up to a joke. The reactionsof the other three players are priceless!Strong Bad: (after a beat)That is some bleeped-up bleep, man!!!
- When the story gets violent, Tycho responds by saying 'Christ!' The above video on YouTube interrupts the dialogue with the player winning the hand, resulting in Tycho resuming the conversation as such...
- One response by Tycho if you beat him one-on-one.Tycho: I commend your restraint. Gabe would be showing me his balls... unless you're planning to do that now.
- Tycho busting out and deciding to reach for a granola bar in his pants to comfort himself leads to a hilarious situation where all the other character misinterpret the action as reaching for a gun and try to shoot them. Cue them aiming their guns at him in defense, then reeling back as they realize their error. Except Strong Bad, who demands Tycho to hand over the granola bar anyway. Tycho refuses, and walks away.
- Tycho talking to Max about...giraffes.
- Or hedgehogs with Strong Bad.
- He's obviously making stuff up in that second one. Everyone knows that the Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered.
- Strong Bad singing 'This suuucks!' before folding. Also, in the same context, 'Aw, man! These cards is bloke!'
- Heavy recalling the Russian version of 'The Gambler'.Heavy: You must know when to hold onto your cards, and you must know when to burn them in fire. Because if you lose you bring insufferable shame to Republic and are sent to a work camp in forest.
- The Heavy deduces from Tycho's usage of hand cream that Tycho is a Spy. Heavy doesn't like spies...Tycho: I got a regimen, yo. I keep them shits moist.Tycho: In an extreme cirsumstance, maybe. Or if someone's being a huge asshole.Tycho: Nononono! I wasn't implying...Tycho: ...shit.
- When the Heavy loses with a good hand and a considerable stake in the pot, he gets understandably and visibly angry. He then proceeds to flip the table and spin up his minigun while roaring one of his inarticulate battle cries. That's funny enough, but then he realizes It Works Better with Bullets.
- Strong Bad's victory song.
- When having a showdown with Max, if a card comes down that causes him to lose or that helps the player, Max will sometimes give out an oddly cheerful shout of 'Frustration'.
- Max says 'Make a calm and rational decision!!!' in a (perhaps intentionally) stressed and unnerving voice, and he's got an aggressive look on his face to go with it.
- Tycho and Strong Bad discussing drinks:Strong Bad: What's your poison, nerd-monger?Strong Bad: Ha! You're a girl. You pledged to a sorority in college, and you learned to make that drink there.
- When Strong Bad and Tycho discuss video games, Strong Bad mentions this gem of a title: Snake-Boxer VI: Now the Snakes Have Fists Too. Tycho says that he can see where that would be more challenging.
- Max's response to Tycho in this clip.
- When Totalbiscuit did a pair of 'WTF is' videos on this game and ended up with the Heavy as his final opponent, there was a particularly funny exchange between the two in this video.Totalbiscuit: Do you have the testicular fortitude Heavy? Will you risk everything?
- Personal favorite:Tycho: So Heavy, find any rare drops lately?Tycho: When you get a kill, sometimes you get a present, right?Heavy: When I get kill, I get honor of team! ... Sometimes, I also get nightmares. A man does not go home to his wife and children.Heavy:OH! You mean HAT!Yes, I LOVE hats! Sometimes I get these!Heavy: (Creepy stare towards camera and large smile) They are the best!
- Bad hands?Heavy: These cards are weak, like BLU baby team! *folds*Tycho:*flatly*Fuck this shit. *folds*
- If you take too long to make your move:Max: It's boring times like these that make me sit back and ponder life's intricacies. Like why do my nipples exist? I don't even use them that much anymore.
- This conversation:Max: I fold... WAIT! What's the one where I bet my stupidly large pile of chips all at once?Max: *excitedly* Yeah that! I wanna do that!
- 'I'm supposed to tell you that's a great hand, but all I wanna do is this!' Cue armpit farts.
- Strong Bad's bad hand animation is a Head Desk, but he doesn't always fold.Strong Bad: (Bangs head against the table several times)Strong Bad: Raise.
- Better yet, he can do this DURING A CONVERSATION. He'll be talking to Tycho about how he thinks Penny Arcade is a crappy website, and suddenly just start hitting his head on the desk before continuing to play anyway.
- This exchange between Max and Tycho:Tycho: Do you know the etymology of the word 'flop'?Tycho: In the early 1600's, it was when the King would take a shit on a peasant. I fold.
- Any conversation with Tycho's bestial perversions being revealed mid-match, most notable with this exchance
- Tycho: Hey, Max, remember when you found that machine and went back to 1964 and met Momma Bosco?Tycho: Out of curiosity, did anything happen with that?Max: Well, Sam and I jumped through time and encountered a cow-hybrid version of Bosco on a spaceship.Tycho: No, I meant with Momma Bosco. Like, between you and her.Tycho: You know, did you guys get down to anything 'untoward?' Or 'toward,' even? Maybe while Sam was in the time machine? You can tell me; I'll put it in the vault. Deep in the vault.Max:[Audibly shocked] ...are you asking me if I ever schtupped Momma Bosco?
- Tycho's snarkisms when he's busted out:Tycho: Ladies, gents,it's been an honor. Also, go fuck your respective selves.
- In a call-back to the classic running gag of 'Strong Bad E-Mail'...Strong Bad: THESE. ARE. MY. HAAAANDS!

Poker Night 2 is a pokervideo game developed by Telltale Games.[1] It is the sequel to Poker Night at the Inventory and, like its predecessor, features crossover characters from different franchises. The game was released for Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade in April 2013, with an iOS version released the following month.[2][3][4] Due to expiring licenses, the game was pulled from sale in September 2018.[5]
- 2Development
Gameplay[edit]
Like the original game, Poker Night 2 is a computer-based poker simulation between an unseen participant (the player) and four characters. Each player starts with the same amount of virtual money, and competes in standard poker rules to try to eliminate all the other players by exhausting their money. In addition to Texas hold 'em style of play, Poker Night 2 includes Omaha hold 'em as well.
The four additional characters in addition to the player are Sam from the Sam & Max franchise (voiced by David Nowlin), who is assisted by Max (voiced by David Boat), Brock Samson from The Venture Bros. (voiced by Patrick Warburton), Ash Williams from The Evil Dead franchise (voiced by Danny Webber), and Claptrap from the Borderlands series (voiced by David Eddings). GLaDOS (voiced by Ellen McLain) from the Portal series takes a supporting role as the dealer. During the hands, these characters provide humorous chatter between each other and towards the player. Reginald Van Winslow (voiced by Roger L. Jackson) from Tales of Monkey Island reprises his role as the host.[1][6][7] Additional brief cameos include Steve the Bandit and Mad Moxxi from Borderlands, Doug and a Save-Lot Bandit from The Walking Dead, and a waiter from Gravity Bone.
The game features unlockable in-game card, chip and table designs, as well as 'Bounty Unlocks' for completing certain goals, which unlock Borderlands 2 content and, depending on the platform played, Team Fortress 2 items on Steam, Xbox Avatar items, or PlayStation 3 themes.[6][8] Simultaneously using chips, cards, and tables sharing the same theme alters the design of the Inventory, opening up new conversation possibilities. Players can also buy the other characters drinks in order to more easily expose their tells.
Development[edit]
The first Poker Night game was developed by Telltale during a lull in their release schedule, and proved to be successful; Steve Allison, vice president of publishing at Telltale, believed it was the relationship between Telltale and the Valve that contributed to the success of the game, luring players with Team Fortress 2 items for performing well in the game.[9] As completion of The Walking Dead neared, Telltale found themselves in another lull, and returned to the Poker Night concept as a way to fill the gap.[9]
Character selection was more direct than the first game, with Telltale wanting to bring in characters from movies and television. Allison had a good relationship with MGM Studios who were eager to offer characters, and was able to secure the character of Ash from Evil Dead, which also was timed well against the release of the 2013 remake.[9] Similarly, Allison stated that Cartoon Network readily agreed to the inclusion of Brock from Venture Bros., one of the Telltale team's first selections.[9]Gearbox Software, the creators of Borderlands, appreciated the first game, and allowed the Claptrap character to be used.[9] The final spot at the table was to be left open for a character from a Telltale game, eventually resulting in Sam. They had considered using either Marty or Doc Brown from the Back to the Future game but realized that they would not be appropriate in a game with mature spoken content. Similarly, characters from The Walking Dead series would not be a thematic fit for the poker title, as it would make people emotional about the game.[9] To help make the play more personable, they needed to have a dealer for the table, and GLaDOS was considered an obvious fit.[9]
Marketing[edit]
Telltale started a website called The Key Party in 2013 in order to promote the game, with a new keychain related to the game characters revealed every working day from March 25 until April 1, when the game was officially revealed.[1]
Reception[edit]
Anthony Gallegos from IGN gave the game a 7.5 out of 10.[10]
