Poker Night 2 Screenshots Leaked

Here are leaked screens of the sequel to Poker Night at the Inventory, Telltale Games’ Poker Night 2. The screens were leaked by an Xbox Live Marketplace asset site and posted on NeoGAF.

They reveal Ash from the Evil Dead film franchise, Sam from the infamous PC series Sam & Max, Claptrap from Borderlands, and Brock fucking Sampson from The Venture Brothers television series. GLaDOS from the Portal series also hovers over the poker table, but it’s not clear if GLaDOS is a playable character.

Telltale Games’ teaser site, The Key Party, also seems to confirm these characters.

Vsauce answers the question “Why do humans play games?”

Humans love to play games… we always have and most likely always will. But why?

PoolLiveAid is a real time predictive pool system

In theory, pool is a pretty easy game of angles. Add strength and spin and the interaction with other pool balls and you’ve got a beautiful game. The PoolLiveAid system uses a camera to measure the position of the cue ball, the angle of the cue and shows where you shot might land.

And the new Monopoly token is… a cat!

Yup, I spoiled it for you right there in the headline. The stupid little Depression-era iron is out and in its place is a cat. Of course it’s a cat, because the internet voted on it and it’s always cats. The other choices were a diamond ring, a robot, a helicopter or a guitar.

Researcher wants Scrabble to change its letter values

Seventy five years ago, the game of Scrabble was invented, and in those 75 years, the letter values haven’t really changed. But is a Q still the same value as a Q seventy five years ago?
