Goodness me, that was wonderful. I'd love to see Jake and Sean guest on the podcast sometime. They got Brad on Thumbs way back when.... ;)

I love that Jake (unconsciously?) made the buboo noise while flipping through those other screens at one point. 
 
Also, obligatory Idle Thumbs memes here. Fuck Chris. Fuck Nick.

A welcome replacement for the terrible flash games I seek out whenever I get the urge to play a few hands of poker. Cheap and very cheerful, I've had a few genuine laughs from the dialog. 
The TF2 items thing is pretty interesting, I was cynical at first, but its actually a neat mechanic to have something slightly less meaningless on the line while playing.

An all-star episodic adventure game with this cast of characters would make me die of absolute bliss.

Okay, okay, okay.
 
I thought the weirdest crossover was Solid Snake, Lucas, Link, Kirby, Sonic, Luigi, Mario, and a ton of other characters beating the shit out of each other.
 
Now we have Max, Strong Bad, Tycho, and the fucking Heavy playing TEXAS HOLD EM.

I haven't played Poker since I was, like, 12 but still got a kick out of this. For 5 bucks, having all these characters interact with each other while enjoying a nice game of poker was pretty worth it.

I really like the attitude they have towards making this game, very refreshing. Wish there was a 360 version.

I think that quick look with members of the companies who made the game should be in Features since the Giantbomb cast cant be as critical as they normaly are.

Thats why they are called Quick Look EXs though. It is a Quick Look in function but it also has developers in, hence the EX.

Your right, just one more reason why 95% of people seem to be mentally retarded. Anyone who would actually pay money to play a poker video game is retarded. The characters dont make this game worth actual money. Putting icing on a cardboard box doesnt make it a cake.

Whaaat? The damn game was five bucks! I spend more money than that on lunch every day! It's nothing, and that's coming from someone who's been unemployed for over a year. Likewise, someone who's never played poker before. (Of course, the current USD to Euro to Swedish Kr conversion helps a lot.)  I feel like I got more than my money's worth out of this game, not just from the humor, but the several unlocks actually keep me wanting to play more just because I'm a completionist. Steam achievements help, too.
 
Actually, would you believe I've played that game, according to Steam, for 14 hours? I don't believe it, either, but that's what it says! It's just such an easy, relaxing thing to put on and play a few games when there's nothing better going on. It's a perfect multitasking game.
 
So you keep your retardedness to yourself and let people have their fun.
