History
On November 19, 2012, the North Bay Business Journal reported that Telltale partnered with Warner Bros. to develop a Poker Night at the Inventory game, which would be released in 2013.
On March 12, 2013, a few items were added to Team Fortress 2. These items were Sam's hat from Sam & Max, Handsome Jack's mask from Borderlands 2, Evil Ash's crown from Evil Dead, Chell's long-fall boots from Portal, and Brock Samson's knife from Venture Bros. All of the items began with with file prefix "PN2".
Telltale started a teaser website The Key Party where they released a keychain related to a character from the game every working day from March 25, 2013 until April 1, 2013 when the game was officially announced. The keychains on The Key Party website were a DeSoto keychain for Sam, the Necronomicon for Ash, the big knife for Brock, the eye from Claptrap, and a companion cube for GLaDOS.
Glitches
During Omaha play, it is believed that once in a while the game will think you have a hand lower then what is shown in your hand and on the table. For Example: You have in your hand Q,Q,6. and the table shows a Q,9,6,4,3. You can see that you have a 'Full House' (Q,Q,Q,6,6) but the game will see that you have '2 Pair' (Q,Q,6,6).
The game is correct, as while you receive four hole cards in Omaha, you still only use two of them as you would in standard Texas Hold'em.
