Season 5 Delayed Until June 2nd
According to a post over on Adult Swim's Facebook page the season premiere of Venture Bros. season 5 has been delayed two weeks until June 2nd. While they don't give a specific reason I'm sure we can all agree it's because Jackson, Doc and company are toiling away tirelessly on the show and working late nights to bring everyone a quality production. So let's try not to be too annoyed! Just think of what you can do with those extra two weeks. You could learn a new craft, like basket weaving or pottery. You could learn to play an instrument. You could paint a self-portrait. See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
As the saying goes: Venture Bros. season 5 premieres on Sunday, June 2nd at midnight (eastern/pacific) on Adult Swim.

How About One More Season 5 Promo?
If the last one just wasn't enough for you then I have some good news! There's a second Venture Bros. season 5 promo!
Update (4/25): Adult Swim removed this promo after the season 5 premiere date was changed to June 2nd.

Poker Night 2 Official Announcement and Trailer
IGN has a trailer and official announcement of Poker Night 2 by Telltale Games. As the leaked screenshot showed, Brock is indeed a character in the game and is voiced by Patrick Warburton to boot. The game will be out this month some time on PSN (Playstation 3), XBLA (XBox 360) and PC (probably Steam). No price point yet, but the original game launched at $5 so I would expect this one to be around the same price. Check out the trailer below:
This is not an April Fool's joke, by the way. The joke is that there isn't one this year!
Brock Samson Will Probably Be In Poker Night At The Inventory 2
For those of you into video games, Polygon is reporting on a leaked screenshot that is most likely the sequel to Telltale Games' poker game from 2010, Poker Night At The Inventory, a game that featured four characters from the world of video games. Telltale recently launched a teaser site for the game though without naming the game. The current keys in the bowl confirm what is seen in screenshot, however, with Brock's knife being the relevant bit of Venture Bros. info. Brock is of course joined by Claptrap from the Borderlands video games, Ash from the Evil Dead series and Sam from Telltale's Sam & Max games. So for those of you pining for a Venture Bros. video game, this isn't quite that, but it's getting there.
Venture Bros. On Netflix Streaming Starting March 30th
It's not quite season 5, but for those of you who are Netflix subscribers you have yet another way to watch Venture Bros. as it (along with various other Adult Swim and Cartoon Network series, you may remember the original announcement back in January) will appear on your Netflix-enabled devices for streaming starting March 30th. Right now it looks like only season one is on the site, but perhaps the others will follow. You can of course always rent the show on DVD the old fashioned way, but who has time for that?
Adult Swim (Finally) Releases Season Five Sizzle Reel
For those of you who attended or watched the various shakycams of the Venture Bros. panel during the previous New York Comic Con you may remember a certain sizzle reel. A nice, steady version of that was never released... until now! In anticipation of season five being around two months away Adult Swim released it as a teaser. There's also a YouTube version if that's your thing. Beyond the video quality there's no difference between this and the NYCC one, but it's nice to get a little refresher for what Jackson and Doc have in store for us.

Venture Fortress: Suit Up
Those of you who frequent the site you may have noticed my affinity for Team Fortress 2, particularly when Adult Swim meets TF2. Well, with the advent of those TF2 items along with Source Filmmaker (which allows fans to make high quality movies using TF2 assets) it was only a matter of time before somebody did something awesome. I present to you the famous scene from "Hate Floats", lovingly crafted by JackMuu:
