Hmm... I see that the references to a Poker Night sequel are taken out on the Team Fortress Wiki. Seems that they'll be presented at the upcoming PAX East convention to demonstrate said sequel...

Still rather early given that PAX East is nine days away.

I just realized something:

An Evil Dead remake is slated to be released next month, and season 5 five of The Venture Brothers starts in May.....

That explains a lot. Brock Samson and the Evil Dead rep are basically here to promote these. There hasn't been a new Sam And Max or Portal game for a while, and Borderlands2 has been out for some time. Even by the first Poker Night, none of the characters represented were doing anything new (other then the usual Penny Arcade comics).

I just realized that playing poker with [[Portal2 Wheatley]] would be hilarious.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

If Handsome Jack were there, I'd love to hear what his banter with Brock Samson would be like.

Would Wheatley be the equivaent of Max? That is, "Has no idea how this game works, plays basically at random"?

I have a message from another time...

GDC starts on the 25th. GDC after-hours activities tend to be full of parties sponsored by various companies. Telltale will definitely be present at the conference because The Walking Dead is up for the Game Dev Choice Awards including Game of the Year and they are also running a few panels. So I would definitely be looking for something to come out of there. (Note that scoring invites to these parties can sometimes amount to a metagame in and of itself; at minimum you have to be a conference goer and be able to figure out who's handing them out.)

That, or they'll be handing out beta keys for something to conference-goers.

The image on the Key party website has changed with the keyring of the first "guest" - does the logo look familiar to anyone? Telltale forum goers say it's the logo for a DeSoto...

Edit 2: Incidentaly a Key Party is apparently a real thing where couples drop their car keys in a dish, then draw out someone else's keys and swap partners to do...erm...things not approved for TV Tropes.

Telltale's Twitter feed says that the next guest will be arriving late: "ninjas + jet engine = trouble"

Brock Samson? Or perhaps Dr. Venture? I believe that The Venture Brothers is the only work among those with the five TF2 promotional items that would have a jet.

Key is here now. It has Brock's Bowie Knife, so I believe it's him alright.

Another key set has been added, this one sporting a Necronomicon keychain and medieval style keys. It's definitely an Evil Dead rep, although whether it's Ash, Bad!Ash, or the protagonist from the new film is unclear.

Well, a few images have been forwarded to some people, and got leaked on Xbox Live. Boxart. And here's the cast of characters.

Huh... Perhaps GLaDOS is taking Reginald's role as host? How then could I get the Long Fall Loafers?

Maybe it's the preorder item? Like the Dealer's Visor?

That screnie of them all around the table. Looks like Ash has a bionic hand....that mean anything to anyone?

Also.....I WAS hoping for more handsome jack goodness but i think i can tolerate claptrap.

Preordered when preorders are available.

Edit: I wonder, with moxie in the back ground will she interact with the players in anyway? would be nice to have others in the inventory be a sort of peanut galleryThat screenshot below wrecks that idea, unless the turrets are now the peanut gallery but i doubt it as that would mean more voice acting money.

Is it me, or does Sam look Off-Model to you guys? I guess they're trying the mimic the art style of the Sam & Max comics a bit more closely, but his design is rubbing off on me in the wrong way.

I find myself wishing that the new Poker Night stuff was an add-on to the old, or the old able to be added to the new. Sam and Glados are the only characters I really know, and I'm not what else would motivate me to get this as a standalone title when I already have the old one.

And come on, Max and Sam at the same table? Genre Savvy Tycho exchanging verbal repartee with Glados? There's no way that could go wrong.

I'm kinda hoping for that too...but again voice acting money.

who knows maybe next time they will have more than enough characters to mix and match stuff.

The pictures are the box art with brock, Claptrap and GLADos. The second picture is everyone including ash and Sam at the table with Mad Moxxi Running the Bar in the Background. The last is an apeture science take on the bar with Turrets everywhere and (one on the table pointed at you ready to fire) and And Sam.

I wanted someone from Monkey Island. Guybrush would have been great, Le Chuck would have been great, Elaine would have been nice.
