Max is randomized

[url=#user_comment_48699]@SJTNK[/url]: Pretty accurate Max is a nut. His playstyle is completely erratic. Strong Bad has a big ego. He doesn't want to lose face. Heavy is very steady. Plays the good, folds the bad. Tycho plays very conservatively at first and becomes agressive when a couple of other players are eliminated.

@Dangeresque, too?

If it sets the mood any better, the movie had a budget of no dollars.

oh, and if anyone is confused about whats going on, the order is going from left to right, max went all in so lets say he has 1,000 stronbad raised so lets say he has 15,000, heavy called so lets say 15,000 as well, tycho folds because hes a pansy.

A fine multiplayer addition would be just more people, and still include max strongbad heavy and tycho, the witty banter is an enjoyable thing to an otherwise quiet game, the next night at the inventory game will probably be bowling, and you get a bowling pin as a melee weapon too.

Just be glad I didn't make it into the game. They had to take me out because I kept cheat- I mean, winning.

Those assholes.

So remember, next time you see a demo with these shutter shades, remember that they stand for a man greater than you. Greater than all of us.

They represent a man who didn't back down when faced with the painful truth of Cutesy Button's kidnapping. A man who fought against Killingyouguy, knowing it may be his last. And a man redeemed himself in his partners' eyes after the Nefarious Craig created a robot copy to destroy their friendship.

@ChargrinnedGoat [url=#user_comment_48687] @Brandon[/url] I can't believe the first thing that came to your mind when you saw these was Kanye West. Disgusting. These shades represent a serious character in a strong-willed, blockbuster movie series that touched the hearts of millions.
about 14 years ago
[url=#user_comment_48687]@Brandon[/url]: Kanye West only exists if you think he does. I don't think he does, so clearly he doesn't exist. I also hide by putting towel over head. If I can't see you, then clearly you cannot see me. You'd be surprised how often this works.

Slap some glasses on Engie-tan and you get your self a makeshift Tycho's wife for tycho to barter...

...maybe add some marker freckles just to be sure.

@Dangeresque, too?: History? Celebrities wearing them for a few decades doesn't seem like much "history" to me. I agree with Brandon. They're ridiculous. Sure, Homestar is cool, but shutter shades never will be.
Brandon
about 14 years ago
@dangeresque, too?

They're Kanye glasses, which I have always found ridiculous in a rather negative way. Regardless of what history they might have with Homestar (who, I understand, the glasses actually belong to), I'm pretty much biased from the start to dislike them. Personal opinion, mind.

[url=#user_comment_48683]@Brandon[/url] You've gotta be kidding me. You clearly don't know the history behind these cool shades. The only real tragedy is that only the Demoman can equip them

Poor Engie-tan, having to listen to Heavy's engineer killing story.
Brandon

Plus, Strongbad's glasses are stupid, and pretty much only the player will notice Tycho's watch.
Brandon

My feeling regarding the items is that it's to a point where a cosmetic item is just that, a little extra thing, and since SO MANY people bought this game purely for the TF2 items (and thus totally missed the point) any status to be had by having the items is lost.

It's totally possible to raise an all in bet. There are only 2 requirements for it to happen. 1st, you must have more chips then the person betting all in has. 2nd there must be at least one other person that is still playing the hand. Generally that person also has more chips then the all in better

I would love to play against the developers for money, every character overplays their hands so often.

Did like the heavy looking for the spy because he keeps getting bad cards though.

The game gave me a loose understanding of poker so all in all it was a good game, I think.
Strong Bad
about 14 years ago
[url=#user_comment_48672]@SJTNK[/url] BAD BLUFFS?! BAD BLUFFS!?! I have the best bluffs around everyone is intimidated. Nothing to intimidate your opponents like a heavy think hard. HRRRGGNNNNNG- So anyways STINK you don't know what your talking about.
about 14 years ago
Max: Plays Aggressive, likes to raise, will play anything.
Strong Bad: Bluffs early, bluffs often, bluffs badly.
Heavy: Plays very tight. Heavy like strong cards.
Tycho: Plays tight early, becomes evil when there's less people.

But none of them are particularly good poker players.

I learned to play poker from Club House Games and the DS.
It's far better than Poker Night in case you were wondering, although it lacks the witty banter.
about 14 years ago
Max goes all-in, Strong Bad...Raises? How do you raise an all-in bet.

Oh wait, Jo doesn't know how to play. It's okay, Jo. Poker is not for everyone, and that includes me. I know the mechanics, but I get crushed in live games.
Strong Bad
about 14 years ago
HA! You wimps WISH you could'ave seen the rest of the hand! I totally OWNED all of them including HEAVYMAN! And of course like always that geekasaurus Tico, or whatever that freak's name is folded. Anyway, Bunnyman got out, HA! thinking he could go against ME?! ME?! MEEEE?! ARRRGHHARG JIBLIYJIBLY!

I know how to play poker, but my game is blackjack.

Whenever I go all in and have less than the other guy. I'm winning the hand at the fourth card(which is why I went all in either get the pot ot win the pot), but always loss on the last card.

Regal

[url=#user_comment_48631]@SAXsamus[/url]: Because they are off duty. Heavy's not being paid to attack her. And also because Engie-tan already lost her money so she bet her pants this round.

-Max is an aggressive player, DO NOT TRY TO BLUFF HIM
cause its hard.
-Strongbad frequently bluffs, so sometimes if you put a higher bet, you can make him fold.
-Heavy is more balanced.
-Tycho has a fetish to giraffes and hedgehogs and only bets high on GOOD hands.

also, strongbad is fucking irritating worthless mouthy peice of shit... who i hate for his attitude
pros and cons
about 14 years ago
max is an agreesive better
strongbad almost never folds
heavys more balanced, but is hard to bluff
tycho folds alot.

also, is it just me, or when the bonus items turn up, the better fold nearly all te time?

and yes you can raise an all in if you have more money than the person going all in

When I play poker I fail miserably... until I decide "This is no fun, I want to bust out ASAP" and announce the fact...

Then I win.

[url=#user_comment_48627]@Sammy[/url]: You shouldnt ever call a when you're bluffing (unless its just a check) you should either try to force them out or give up on your bluff. If you are bluffing then you are basically giving them money by calling their bet (if they have anything) and if they were also bluffing its all chance.

How can one not know how to play this? The rules are so simple! In fact it's pretty much like chess. The rules are moderately long and easy to learn, but it's the tactics and decisions that make the game turn into a win game.

....I've lost 40.000 dollars :I

I hate Tycho, he always folds until he's the last person.

all of his lines are funny, yes, but I still enjoy it everytime he's eliminated so I don't have to watch him fold AGAIN.

DBG

You can raise an all in when there are other players competing. It will go into the side pot and not the main pot though - the first "all-in" person won't be eligible for that side pot.

By the way, there's a bug in-game: it only announces who wins one pot and not the other

Max, unless you got the royal flush, I'd say that's a bad idea.

So you hear the conversation they have involving the killing of wave after wave of the undead? Cast for L4D3 confirmed.

Also, there's a bunch of Sam & Max cameos in the background, like Mamma Bosco and Miss Stinky playing Game Boys.
TheMaskedMan

To be fair Poker really doesn't make any god damn sense.

I mean 90% of it is attempting to convince people not to play their cards.

Also fuck Strongbad's poor decision making. 3 times he has bought in with shades only to let some other jerk (Who is not me) take them from him.

SF Legend
about 14 years ago
Even left to right it makes no sense, as money had to have been in the pot prior to strongbad's raise, which means heavy wouldn't have been able to check.
Crabturtleking
about 14 years ago
It makes more sense if you read the first panel from left to right
MasterEvilAce
about 14 years ago
The heavy would not be able to CHECK because previous players have bet money into the pot. This comic is illogical and it makes me laugh because the article about the comic talks about not understanding poker. :)

I always wanted to say "First!" on one of these.
But don't worry, I won't be labeling the picture with any "mine" tags...of such I anticipate the inevitable claiming of Max's head (now you can't be witty by doing it since I already said it).

Also, I'm hoping we see some multiplayer DLC for PN.
