Let's see here... TOS has been updated, okay... and now I need to sign into my LIVE account again but over at the xbox site instead?

HEY GUYS, WE VALUE THE PC AS A PLATFORM JUST AS MUCH AS THE X-BOX

NO, REALLY

Can't really think of a better place to put this, but Poker Night at the Inventory is pretty good. A simple Texas Hold-Em simulator with some amazing table talk. The personalities of each of the four opponents bounce off each other really well.

Who's won a character item so far? I just snagged Max's pistol and badge. Heavy had to ante up the new Minigun, but Max knocked him out. I fear to think what he's going to do with that thing when he gets home...

I've seen all the items put up, but only won the lugermorph/badge and iron curtain. I also won enough to unlock two tables and a new deck, which is neat though far less noteworthy.

So yeah, it's a novelty poker game. Overall, I'd say some of the lines miss the mark, but I am getting my four forty-nine's worth of comedy, which is what I expected. Plus, depending on how you look at it, it's a spectacularly low price to pay to learn that I'm not a very good poker player.

I don't know if it's just random chance, but each character seems to have the appearance of a specific playing style. Max seems hard to pin down, erratic even (after getting knocked out myself I saw him fold on a straight after putting 10k in the pot); I want to say he has a tendency to bluff but maybe he's just a dumb. Strong Bad plays aggressively and I rarely see him fold. Tycho is very prudent and folds a lot; so far he's done the best out of everyone. Heavy... I don't know.

Regarding Tycho's voice, it works. I'd even say I like it. The guy's got a snarky edge, but relaxed and nonchalant still, and in a way it's a great contrast to the other characters. For my first win, the game ended in like a fifteen hand duel with Tycho and me, and I was like, "alright, the kids have left the table, now it's time for the adults to play". The d20 never makes sense though, it's just there.

All in all, no regrets here.

Well, I would expect a hyper-kinetic rabbity-thing to be erratic.

I love Tycho's M:TG references. Drawing nine fuckin' mana in a row, indeed.

Protip: at least a few times, if you get knocked out early, stick around to watch the rest of the game. It lets you see everyone's cards, World Poker Tournament style, so you can get a feel for how they play.

Heavy strikes me as a very conservative player.

The Player has two pair: queens, nines

Strong Bad has two pair: nines, fours

Strong Bad wins.

uhhhhhhhhh. I didn't expect much from this game but apparently it saw the bar I sat on the ground and dug a fucking hole under it.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #166 on:** November 22, 2010, 08:06:09 PM »

um. Maybe those 4's were actually, like, fucked-up looking A's?

Sounds like it's

Sucker Night at The Inventory.

TA · « **Reply #168 on:** November 22, 2010, 08:41:52 PM »

Yeah I saw that once. It looked like Max had two pair and Heavy had 3 of a kind, yet Max took the pot.

How are the unlocked tables actually, uh, used?

Niku · « **Reply #169 on:** November 22, 2010, 08:49:56 PM »

Hit escape to open the menu when in game, then tab over to unlocks.

NexAdruin · « **Reply #170 on:** November 22, 2010, 08:51:56 PM »

I have every special TF2 item, the Trogdor table, the Telltale Table, and the TF2 deck. I don't know how to tell the game which table/deck I want to play with, but it isn't important. So far I've not seen the game screw up with who wins, though I don't pay that close attention.

TA · « **Reply #171 on:** November 22, 2010, 10:37:37 PM »

They really needed someone to proofread the subtitles. Lots of typos, dropped words, and rephrases.

It's a really good five dollar game. One retarded hand out of a hundred isn't so bad, and I appreciate that the AI doesn't blatantly cheat. I've won plenty of showdowns that come down to my Ace High vs a Jack High. Although the AI isn't good enough to suit it's behavior properly for 1v1 poker that can come down to all-in with your 2 cards down, deal 5 and see what happens, it's generally good enough for a casual game of cards. Which I really appreciate, as the chatter is entertaining enough, the visuals are pleasant and I secretly have the entire bloodline of a family of card sharks pumping through my veins.

I just sort of wish it was a ten dollar game and they had more game types, maybe some extra players.

I on the other hand kinda hate playing poker, but I enjoy the banter and the silly items for that backpack management sim I have installed on my computers, and so it'll be worth my time until the dialogue grows stale and my backpack runneth over.

Each day for the next few days, a special 30 people get the first five games on their steam wishlist for free. Also, you can rank games on your wishlist now. I just shoved the most expensive ones to the top, but you guys maybe have better plans.

PhoenixUltima · « **Reply #177 on:** November 24, 2010, 06:00:37 PM »

So of course the steam store is slowed to a crawl because of everyone frantically running around building a wishlist. Which means I can't go build one right now. Goddamn.

Brentai · « **Reply #178 on:** November 24, 2010, 09:25:49 PM »

Make sure you have ten games on your list, not five. That's a qualification that's kind of buried in the fine print.

Also you probably could have figured this one out, but they're not honoring package deals.

...I'm really having trouble coming up with five games I actually want off Steam.

It's all about the Farm Simulator 2011, dawg.
