{The screen shows a poker table with the Telltale Games logo. Poker chips are thrown on the table, followed by Max's luger, Dangeresque Too's glasses, and finally The Heavy's machine gun. The scene cuts to Max, Strong Bad, The Heavy, and Tycho sitting at the poker table. Max clasps his hands in enjoyment, Strong Bad shakes his head, and Tycho slaps his hand to his forehead in frustration.}

THE HEAVY: Ha!

{Cut to the Poker Night at the Inventory logo on a red sun burst background, then back to the four sitting at the poker table.}

THE HEAVY: What was that tiny chips? {The screen zooms in on The Heavy's face.} You all want to fight with me?

THE HEAVY: This is best idea. {The heavy throws a handful of chips on the table.}

{The camera pans to a shot of Max, Strong Bad, and the back of Tycho's head.}

MAX: Call it! {Max points his finger in the air.} Raise it! {Max furrows his brow and puts both hands in front of him.} Tear his knee caps out! {The camera zooms in on Max, who shakes his head.} Not in that order!

{Max pushes two handfuls of chips into the center of the table. The camera pans out to show Strong Bad shoveling up the chips from the table.}

STRONG BAD: Nothing intimidates your opponents like a heavy dose of think hard! {Strong Bad closes his eyes and wobbles his head, to show he's thinking hard. The Heavy looks on in amazement. Strong bad grunts.}

{The camera pans out to The Heavy and Tycho at the poker table. Tycho lifts a card and looks at it.}

TYCHO: Face down in front of me is the card beast {The scene darkens as the camera zooms in on Tycho whose eyes become red.} of your worst poker nightmare. {The scene lightens back to normal and the camera zooms out. Tycho raises his arm out nonchalantly.} Just something to consider.

{Cut to gameplay footage showing the graphical user interface and Strong Bad talking and throwing chips on the table, followed by a pan to the center of the table.

The items are then showed individually on the sunburst background. The lugermorph is shown first, followed by Max's "license to maim", "the enthusiast's timepiece" (which is a watch covered with blood that has a blue Pac-Man eating a dot on the face), and then "the iron curtain".}

{Cut to the center of the poker table with the words "the inventory" in a round logo in the center. Tycho is shown picking up handfuls of poker chips, the Heavy is in the center, and Strong Bad's boxing glove can be seen. The camera zooms out to the heavy}
