This is adorable ^w^
I really, really hate to be the dreaded “That Guy” though, but you have Kade saying “role” rather than “roll” in the 6th panel :/
Ending on a positive though, I love the way you’re mixing up the panel style recently! It’s really fun to read ^^
Ahh, Yes… But you see, Kade purposefully said “role” instead of “roll” because, as his housemate, Kade knows Harvey really quite well. He knew that Harvey, being the power-hungry, malignant spirit that he is, would prefer to have minions instead of dice. We see this in panel 6, where Harvey is muttering “dance, my puppets!” as the dice move mystically across the game board. Kade, knowing that Harvey would treat the dice like characters from a ROLE-playing game, would say as much in a SUBTLE HINT disguised as a COMMONPLACE SPELLING MISTAKE ON THE PART OF THE AUTHOR, suggesting that Kade (and the author) are perhaps smarter than we give credit for.
I’m really impressed by the organization of both this strip and the previous one. The change in perspective in the fourth panel is particularly inventive. Love this comic – keep it up!
Kade. You realize that Smash 4 is on the Wii U. You realize that you only need the GamePad to play Wii U games. You realize that yu have a ton of other video game systems you could hook to the TV and play while your Amiibos are leveling up.
Why don’t you just let them level up on GamePad only, while playing something like PS4 or NES on your TV? This is a very good idea.
Gotta love King of Tokyo. 🙂

So, don’t worry. You don’t have to be ‘That Guy’. There will ALWAYS be someone to correct your corrections.
Nice catch. Thanks!
(Whispers) and via the magic of post-submission editing, the spell has been checked!
Ha! I catch myself sitting like that ALL the time. It makes the blood go to your brain.
I’m loving Kade, he’s such a cutie! <3
Not going to lie i would do that too
Poor Kade

*Fifth panel, that is. Bottom left. x3
Poor kade why is nichole such a grumpy pup all the time
Nicole* there really should be an edit button 😛
You know, I never noticed that the Savestate logo switches between blue and brown when the page is re-opened.
Anyways, that fifth panel is just :3
The houndstooth pattern on each strips title changes too. :3
So what do the siblings think about Bayonetta, both in and out of Smash?
Now there needs to be a comic showing Nicole’s feet
Cough.
Cough Cough.
(in a higher voice than usual) Okaaay…
King of Tokyo or King of New York?
Hard to see but it’s KoT – it only has the two regions.
Kade, you should know better than that!
Amiibos can mimic a player’s style, and level up faster if there’s humans involved. Otherwise you just end up with a generic, high-level Amiibo. 😛
Are they playing a Godzilla board game or am I just dreaming?
‘Cause Harvey and Ness playing kaijus would be so funny.
Kaiju Ness would be AWESOME! 🙂
“Harvey Kong vs Nesszilla!!”
I’m trying to guess the fighters in the gamepad screen, I see Kirby but I’m not sure about the orange one…Samus maybe?
Ha, yeah! I was feeling lazy and drew the two characters that are simple *****.
The orange character in the gamepad looks like a orange Link
hehe
I love it when Ness bites someone
Fifth panel typo: should be “roll the dice.”
See above^^^

What did Kade do to get Nicole’s attention?
I refuse to accept that Nicole just randomly noticed Kade is sitting next to her and not playing as usual.
And what Nicole is reading? she never stopped reading that book since the beach so it has to be good.
its sparknotes for “the lord of the rings”
Kade flipped upside down on the couch. That’s when Nicole realized he wasn’t actually playing.
Nicole is reading “You’re Never Weird on the Internet” with the slipcover off. She keeps getting interrupted and hasn’t finished it yet.
Hmm… I had to think of Armello’s Banes when i saw Harvey playing with the dice like that… He probably would love that game.. It has dice too..
Why not a good ole fashioned game of Uno? Or that boring game Yahtzee? Never fails that Harvey will never trust anyone.
Or a good old game Cornhole?
Not sure if that was the reference to a Housepets strip or just a plain game of corn hole but you sir did a good job on referencing it.
I love when Nessie is in a “bites everywhere” session ^_^
But ; “dance my puppets” ? What Harvey is trying to do with the dices ? 0_o
his claws are out, means he is use his magic.
POSSESSED DICE!
makes game more challenge.
Harvey is dooming the dices ? 0_o
no but he is using power to control them.
he is uses CRUXTACIOUS CURSE like from those hairy pot books
(i think that right curse)
I would like to know where they get all that money they spend on games.
Does they have jobs?
According to Tim, Kade does. Can’t remember what it is though.
I seem to recall it has something to do with computers. Support? Programming? Server maintenance?
Kade is a Coder, as seen in the first strip where he creates a way to transfer gen 1 Pokemon to gen 3.
“Carbon-fiber underpants”, if anyone gets the reference.
NO! Don’t say it so everyone can hear it!
Kade is a work from home programmer. That’s why we never see him leave the house.
YES! Battle you level one computers…*battle*
Ness that’s not how you play the game and neither is biting Kade’s arm is a part of it.
