Poker Night At The Inventory Released Today

We've got mere hours to go until comedy poker sim Poker Night At The Inventory unlocks over at Steam. Have you got it pre-ordered? It's cheap! A paltry £2.92. That is literally no money.

In case you've forgotten, this bizarre camembert-powered dream of a game has you playing cards with Max from Sam & Max, Tycho from Penny Arcade, Strong Bad from Homestar Runner and The Heavy from Team Fortress 2. As a neat extra, beating each of these characters earns you an item of theirs that can be equipped in Team Fortress 2. The latest trailer (which I don't believe we've posted) lies below, and John's Wot I Think lies in wait at some point in the near future.

I used to have poker nights with my friends when I was about 16. Sometimes that felt pretty cool, and sometimes one of my friends would bring along a kebab and lay it out on the table like a backalley doctor opening up a gunshot victim. My playing cards are still smudged with chilli sauce. I do not miss being a teenager.
