Telltale’s first office was down the street from San Quentin State Prison and a sewage treatment plant, across the street from the dump, and had a bullet hole in one of the windows.

Telltale Texas Hold’em was made on the cheap, with much of the work done as favors by friends and colleagues. Card shark Harry Weinhead was voiced by Nate Schaumberg, a LucasArts producer who had recorded Max’s scratch track for Freelance Police. Telltale paid him with a six-pack of beer.
