Drawing dead in Deadwood
Have you all seen this yet? It's a poker game for the show Deadwood and it features some of the characters from the show. You can actually intimidate the players by pressing certain buttons, etc. It uses the voices of the actual actors and has 3D graphics. You have to download something called Virtools but it was pretty painless (and I did it on a PC so I don't know if it works for Macs). I've never watched the show (and y'all know this because I'm too cheap for digital cable, much less HBO), but this was entertaining. It's obviously not for serious poker fans and it's obviously not for money, but it's kinda cool.
Check it out here.
Christopher Cosenza is co-host of the longest running poker podcast on the planet, Ante Up! He started playing poker seriously in 2003 and his favorite players are Phil Ivey and Kenna James, though he tends to act like Phil Hellmuth if you make a bad play against him.
Scott Long, Ante Up!'s other co-host, is the author of the monthly Bet on It column in tbt*. He began gambling way too young (don't tell the fuzz!) and in the seventh grade, named his state "Gambleland" for a school project (State Animal? Loan shark, of course).
Nice, this reminds me of the game they had for the Video Game "Gun" when it was getting ready to come out.
