I bought Poker Night 2 to teach myself how to play poker (like a loser), and because Glados, Ash, and Winslow were all in it. I ended up falling completely in love with Sam (Max didn’t have an impact on me yet, you don’t interact with him as much), and eventually went seeking out what he was from because I wanted to spend more time with the dog in the suit.
I dragged my boyfriend along for the ride (who also hadn’t played the games), and we agreed to play Hit the Road first, as it was the first game. By the end of the pleasantly understated title sequence I knew I had a new favorite game, and when we were shoving Max’s face into the circuit breaker to stop the ride I knew my heart had been stolen by a dog and a rabbity thing. (And they were probably playing ham bone with it. Get it? …No? Okay…)
