well seeing as most don’t get why he would bookmark flare and not all the others i’ll share my thought on why!
he is a game, anime, manga fan so in the dragon ball (Z) world, flare is a pretty well known skill/move (call it whatever you want) so my guess is that it is a reference to that!
And in Final Fantasy games, Flare tends to be a high level (and thus fairly powerful) spell. If you had a choice between the low level basic spells and the high level non-elemental (or fire-based, depending on source) spell of destruction, which would you bookmark?
Okay, for the record, I know these things in order to prevent their use against me, nothing more, and if you try to say otherwise, I need some volunteers to help me test my orbital deat- um, my new and improved ice cream machine.
I remember that game. Was lots of fun.
– Flare? Well considering car issues before, I’d say that is actually good planning from Kade. Next time run out of gas or break down, instant road flare…. Wait, good planning by Kade. Now I’m scared.
nope that’ll cause global disarray in least than a day riots will occur in every corner governments will be burn and earth’s civilization will collapse by the end of the week. does any body know how to create a EMP emitter you know for reasons. 😀
Naaah Scarf,
All those internet addicts would just get all mad at first, then reluctantly go outside & learn to play – and probably discover something new that takes their minds off their problems for a while..

sheesh, also don’t forget to keep a copy of Peter’s overlord list handy…it works for me. But world domination? Naw, I just want to control the coffee market.
Nichole just keeps getting better and better. And she’s cute too-I would happily serve as her minion.
Incidentally, I would go for overkillin a spell”Summon Bahamut Zero” gets the nod in my book….
Most of those spells sound like those you can find in Final Fantasy… so if that’s the case, then Doomsday isn’t a spell found in that series. Those that play Final Fantasy would say that’s common knowledge.
… then again, the only thing that comes close to that is the spell Doom. Most of the time, that spell inflicts instant death, but there are some exceptions where it inflicts Death Sentence instead and a certain amount of time goes by before the target dies.
In all seriousness-Nichole is using common knowledge for anyone that is heavily into pen&paper rpgs. Kade is more interested in video games, and would never think of disrupting communications, simply because he relies on it-heavily.
A good example would be a conversation…
Nichole: “Let’s ahnillate the internet. They will never know what hit them.”
Kade(looking horrified): “But how would I play WoW!?!”
It’s all a matter of perspective….
It’s like neither of them know anything about the Overlord List. Here on the internet, we know way more about things we don’t like than other people about the things they do like.

I’m sure Global Domination is merely a hobby for Nicole; nothing more.
Your comic just keeps getting better!
wonder what Kade plans on doing with that spell later on….
Wait, ROB is holding the book, could it be he’s trying to be helpful for once? :O
I think he is just being used to prop the book up.
Rob moves when unseen. So now that he is being watched he can’t move. I guess…
Ye gads, Rob is SCP-173!
He got zapped by the spell on the previous page; he’s now as inert as harvy. Watch his eyes panel to panel on the previous page.
Oh, you’re right! I hadn’t noticed the spell worked on him as well
Kade please, thunder is so much more useful than flare

Me, I’d hold out for Ultima.
High level spells also tend to have higher activation costs. Why completely overdo it with a top-level spell when a few weaker ones will suffice? =P
When in doubt, nuke the site from orbit.
But Thunder is super effective again machines. What if it fried all the electronics in the house?
Nicole scares me now, but that is true. The less your opponents can trade info, the easier it is to take them out.

Is it Vanilla or Strawberry, I won’t help if its Chocolate… 😛
Yay, ice cream from space!
You had me at Orbital deat… 😛
Global Thermonuclear War
I remember that game. Was lots of fun.

Nicole is scary sometimes.
Poor Harvey, still just sitting there. 🙁
I hope they’ll find a counter-spell very soon 🙁
I love your comic, have I ever mentioned that? 🙂
In Pacific Rim, I think it was established that the first thing to do was Establish communications, but I can see the merit of this tactic as well.
You’re thinking of “Battleship”
Ah that Nicole I always knew she wanted global domination. Or just watching a lot of transformers 😀
Wait. THAT WASN’T AN APRIL FOOL’S JOKE!?
APRIL FOOOL!!! The joke was that it wasn’t a joke! 🙂
Just like with Twokinds, that seems to be a common thing this year. 😀
told you so -w-
Suicide rates would skyrocket if she disables the internet
nope that’ll cause global disarray in least than a day riots will occur in every corner governments will be burn and earth’s civilization will collapse by the end of the week. does any body know how to create a EMP emitter you know for reasons. 😀
and no one would know about it because there would be no internet, yay!
Naaah Scarf,
All those internet addicts would just get all mad at first, then reluctantly go outside & learn to play – and probably discover something new that takes their minds off their problems for a while..
The more I learn about her, the more I like Nicole
No that is common knowledge, people just choose to ignore it.
Let’s go over to rule #2, cause a massive panic from the inside. No, wait that’s the wrong rule.
…
*frantically flips pages*
#2 Major utilities: Gas, Water, Power…
Come on… I knew that and I’m half asleep -.-
…woops, wrong book.
…wait half asleep? It’s either fully asleep or fully awake. Was looking at a book on how to rule the universe.
Thanks for the recap.
I must have an outdated copy. My step two is “crash the moon into the planet.”
It is because that is before egghead got his hands on the ARK.
Ah, you must have the copy published by Clock Town Press.
It would be amazing if someone wrote that book and created illustrations for it just of Nicole…
OK, I might actually do that. I can write the book, can somebody please go ask Tim if he would do the illustrations? Thanks.
“The Evil Mastermind’s Step-By-Step Guide to World Domination, featuring Nicole.”
Nikki is so cute. 🙂
Common knowledge indeed Nicole~
Trade routes first, to put opposition in poor condition before sowing chaos with communication severance.

Nicole is she meaning Rob has affected Kade’s lens to make him unable to see Harvey and stop them to speak together ?
WOA 0_o
I totally forgot this, and don’t know why it hasn’t been thought of yet.
“Alas, poor Harvey.”
x3
“Alas, poor Harvey; I knew him well.” 😉
I need some tips from Nicole!
called it

I always liked how Knights of the Round took a few minutes to watch. :3

Vivi gets Doomsday in Final Fantasy IX. At least in the US. I know they like to localize things and change names so it might be different.
OMG I finally looked at the comments section and its full of video game references! xD
Gaaaah c’mon Rick, you should bookmark Meltdown! No defenses!

Do any of your characters have last names?
Not yet. ;3
cool there bookmarking sells

Oh, just noticed you forgot Rick’s cheek spot in panel 3.
Uh… would you believe it’s a trick of the light?
