What is the TF2 Heavy doing together with Max and Strong Bad and another character I do not recognize in a Telltale game? O_o

I see cards, better not be another poker game, or else!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71B11mBOw0A&feature=sub youtube version is here! I think the other guy is Tyco from Penny Arcade but I can’t be sure, that silhouette sure does look like a heavy, if it’s a poker game I will also be pissed off. LETS GET ALL THESE CHARACTERS TOGETHER FOR CARDS! oh……
It IS a POKER GAME, “Poker Night at the Inventory”

Ah well.
The Beta Testers Collective is now live: http://www.planetphillip.com/beta-testers-collective/
along with a Steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/betatesterscollective
And the idea of a group test with a small SP map is being arranged. This could be a really cool thing. Looking for modders to submit small SP maps for it.
I AM IN THE COLLECTIVE

Your description of the events made me lol.
Hey guys, I was wondering about the Left 4 Dead 2 custom campaigns spotlights they’re doing. I’m not a developer so I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but what happens if you get exposure from a AAA profesional company? Like besides a bunch of hits, is there communication between the author of Detour Ahead and Valve? Probly not important enough to talk about on the show, and may only be interesting to me, but what do you guys think/know?
I’m betting the communication is something along the lines of “hey want us to feature your mod?” “lolk”
And it might make your portfolio more awesome
I was hoping for a private jet, hot russian strippers, champagne and a life size gold plated gordan freeman statue. :(
I think a Golden Crowbar Crafting Contest is in order on TF2.
golden hats!
golden HEV suits!!
man….. if there was golden HEV suits…..
I found this via an Interlopers post made by ThePain, thanks for the news, PAIN!!

Attention Black Mesa Source lovers!!
http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Feature/230583,is-black-mesa-the-ultimate-half-life-2-mod.aspx
Atomic MPC managed to secure a massive playtest of Black Mesa Source. They have written an article about it and posted a huge gallery of screenshots from in-game. Very fucking impressive work IMO, no matter how long it has taken to create. I cannot help but hold a great deal of respect for those involved with the epic Vaporware-Award-worthy mod.
Huge gallery of screenshots below:

And it’s removed now, ah well.

The part Im worried about is the fact they only test drove the first few levels. These levels must have been the closest to completion and if that says anything about the entire games progress, its faaar from completion.
Pretty sure there’s images from quite a bit into the game/mod.
@korge: They had some screens of the Alien Grunts as well so things could be a bit farther along than we fear. But still, you are correct-o…this project is Vaporware to the MAX.
this trailer looks kinda shitty, but check it out.

not another ‘raising teh bar’ mod….
Outerlight (The Ship) makes a game called “Bloody Good Time” powered by the source engine.
Seems to be Hunter-Quarry just like The Ship.

PAX 2010. Valve shows more Portal 2 co-op gameplay.
http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/64330/portal-2/videos/pax_portal2_trl_cooptrailer_90310.html?show=hi
There is a trailer and then at least three in-game fully co-op chambers.
Spectacular.
