#1206: "It's a STube."

[Kurosen]

Consider it punishment for anyone who said they didn't want to see a King Steve comic and for anyone who said they DID want to see a King Steve comic. (http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/12/19/episode-1206-the-royal-treatment/)

[Panthera]

What in the...

I think this may just be THE most nonsensical episode of 8 Bit yet

[Nikose Tyris]

Interesting! The next button isn't appearing for me on 1205. I'm sure that'll fix itself though.

[meo]

.. Hahaha. What the hell?

[Scars Unseen]

I forgot about King Steve. Suddenly Chaos destroying all of existence gets a silver lining.

[tshadowdrag]

I think I called this one, strangely enough and in the means of how it was carried out leaves some questions for tuesday's episode that we'll probably never get answered, besides the part of how badly King Steve doesn't maintain his snow cone station

[sithlord7]

I've been staring at my computer for like ten minutes now. I'm waiting for the REAL comic to go up. Ha ha, I get the joke...right? Oh...

Damn you King Steve!

[EnuoCale]

So... did king steve give them a hypercube?

[Geminex]

Wwwwwweh?

I'd mention the word "meaningless filler", but
a) it has king steve in it and that makes it more meaningful than any comic without king steve
and
b) somehow, I'm sure this has relevance to the plot. Or maybe not.

[Art of Hilt]

Okay wow.
Wow.
My head.
Wow.




Wow.

[CodeBlack]

The best part is that it actually makes perfect sense. It just shouldn't. And that distracts from what really makes no sense, that is: why the hell King Steve's there in the first place.

It's like prestidigitation, but with inanity instead of hands. I love that about 8-Bit Theater.

[Mirai Gen]

Wait.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait.

Wait.

Wait.

[Yumil]

He has a point, there is a side inside. Why would it be called inside, if it didn't?

[Si Civa]

What about the outside?

[Double]

That should make it an 8-sided cube. Has the mighty King Steve truly made an error?

[Pink Bison]

What about the outside?

It has six outsides.

[Si Civa]

Nope. It only has two sides; the outside and the inside.

[Neni]

Wow...
That was
TOTALLY RANDOM!! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigLippedAlligatorMoment)

[Moogleking]

Did not expect.

Bravo, good sir.

[Green Spanner]

I was laughing throughout this one. Like, each panel made me laugh anew.

[Ggolbez]

I personally feel that King Steve could easily be the protagonist of his very own web comic. And in a lot of respects, he is for he takes up a number of episodes himself.

But seeing King Steve, as he is today, meet up with the Light Warriors again I can't help but feel humbled. It is almost as if things have come full circle. And the circle has gotten a lot crazier ever since Gary failed at reclaiming the throne from the length of string.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

Finally, the the four warriors of light confront King Steve. The final battle is about to begin.

[TARDIS]

Finally, the the four warriors of light confront King Steve. The final battle is about to begin.

2 things;
1. only 2 of them are there
2. Chaos. We know HE'S the final battle.

and one more thing...

disappointment would fit because we could end up seeing king steve with a snowcone instead
He definitely called it.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

2 things;
1. only 2 of them are there
2. Chaos. We know HE'S the final battle.

Oh come on, we all know these guys aren't a match for Chaos & they're doomed to failure. King Steve should be more than a match for the Light Warriors. I say bring it on.

As for them not all being together, Red Mage is on his way & I don't think Fighter will be too far behind.

SWB
BTW - Haven't laughed like this at a comic for some time.

[timemonkey]

At first I was all "Oh crap, it's King Steve." but then it turned out to not completely suck and actually be somewhat amusing. Hurray for not being disappointed.

[Ggolbez]

... & I don't think Fighter will be too far behind.

Unless he secretly is already there!

[Quirriff`]

I think the cubes trigger an idea.

[Veho]

The stube will confuse and confound even Chaos, the same way drownball confused Sarda. And a drownball tournament held in a water stube (instead of sphere) would keep him befuddled indefinitely. Giving the LWs (or anyone else) enough time to gain enough power to destroy him.

[Nightshine]

...

It has built up to this: the endgame shop of all endgame shops.



EDIT: Logic error. It can't be a cube, since this is an 8 bit universe.

[Ti-Phil]

The mere fact that King Steve outwitted BM and Thief is a sign that the world is coming to an end!

[Reaperz-XIII]

That comic broke my mind much like all comics with King Steve, I wonder who is stupider Fighter or King Steve

[Rejected Again]

What the...... Did that really happen?

Well played Mr. Clevinger. Well played.

[Nuklear Waste]

I love this one. I think this and the bubblegum one are the overall funniest episodes since the goat/llama one.

[timemonkey]

That comic broke my mind much like all comics with King Steve, I wonder who is stupider Fighter or King Steve


We'd have to give Fighter the authority and resources to do act on his every whim in order to truely measure.

[Green Spanner]

I wonder who is stupider Fighter or King Steve

Bikke.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

That comic broke my mind much like all comics with King Steve, I wonder who is stupider Fighter or King Steve

I'd say they are equally stupid. Only Fighter's sense of morals makes him less dangerous. Wasn't he called Lawful Stupid once? That would make King Steve Chaotic Stupid.

EDIT: Or Bikke.

[malakite]

So ,any day now- Queen Jane.That gun has been sitting on the mantlepiece
for like a thousand comics.

[Tryxx]

I'll be honest here. I may have partaken in some marijuana prior to reading today's episode, but none the less, it is freakin' hilarious!

[Reaperz-XIII]

Bikke.

But Bikke was able to hit Sarda, the shaper of reality, crosser of dimensions, knower of all, eternal spiteful douche bag.

[Ggolbez]

That comic broke my mind much like all comics with King Steve, I wonder who is stupider Fighter or King Steve

I think Fighter is stupid, yes. But King Steve is more completely insane, rather than stupid.

[Loyal]

I'd say they are equally stupid. Only Fighter's sense of morals makes him less dangerous. Wasn't he called Lawful Stupid once? That would make King Steve Chaotic Stupid.

EDIT: Or Bikke.Fighter is Lawful Good (or "stupid good" if you must), he's just got a nonexistant Wis score.

[Mirai Gen]

Wait.

Okay yeah, my mind is so totally blown.

[timemonkey]

But Bikke was able to hit Sarda, the shaper of reality, crosser of dimensions, knower of all, eternal spiteful douche bag.

He hit Sarda because he was meant to hit Sarda. Fate dictated it, there was nothing Sarda could do about it.

[Roxas]

I love King Steve.

[TARDIS]

...hold on. Did Thief just get out-worded AGAIN!?

[Nexus]

Obviously King Steve's GENIUS creation will be SO delicious that Chaos will decide not to destroy everything, or whatever it is he wants to do, just so he can eat the s'no-cone for all eternity....Until he finds out he's deathly allergic to s'no-cones and dies a horrible, agonizing death.

[Domestibot]

Yep, this comic just proves that their world was doomed from the start. I guess this is all White Mages fault, really.

[Ecks]

Wow...
That was
TOTALLY RANDOM!! (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BigLippedAlligatorMoment)

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I JUST LOST SIX HOURS OF MY LIFE! ON MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY! DAMN YOU NENI!

Ahh another victim to TvTropes syndrome

Ahh another victim to TvTropes syndrome

The sad thing is I've been there before. Many times. Why, oh WHY did I click that link THIS time?

[Roxas]

It should be obvious. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife)

[rpgdemon]

You know, I'm becoming more immune to TV Tropes.

After binging on it/spending tons of time going "New tab! New tab!", I've read most of the relevant articles to most stuff. I just mouseover links now and am all, "Aww, boring! I read that already!", and skip over them.

[stapler942]

Quick question: Was King Steve driving a trailer?

Also, what's on the pictures above him? Cake? Various pastries?

(Or do I want to know what he sells?)

[Meister]

Looks like burgers to me. But what King Steve advertises, what King Steve thinks he sells and what King Steve actually sells may be vastly different and strange things.

[Neni]

Didn't work for me.
Read almost every single darn article on that site and will STILL go back to all of them every now and then, just to check on Updates and one wheter some Jackass nice, helpful troper just undid my reasonable edit for completly brainless reasons was so nice to correct my balantly obvious mistakes. Ha... Ha...

However, lately, I had to abstain from TV tropes, mostly because of not owning Zelda:SpritTracks yet... and this godforsaken website already spoilered all of the Kingdom Hearts DS game to me. >< THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN! IN YOUR FACE, TV TROPES!!

@No_More_Than_Thirteen:

You are welcome. :-D

[Tigrath]

I miss one update and they are suddenly buying snow cones from King Steve. This is why I keep coming back to 8BT.

[Hanuman]

The 7th side is a small circle.

[Martyr]

king steve is so smart. i hope he wins

[TARDIS]

The mere fact that King Steve outwitted BM and Thief is a sign that the world is coming to an end!

Moar like the End of Time... and the comic comes to an end on 1.1.10!?

[Borealis]

Moar like the End of Time... and the comic comes to an end on 1.1.10!?
Awful joke.
Finally, King Steve!

[TARDIS]

Awful joke.
Finally, King Steve!

why'd you call it awful? I wasn't TRYING to be funny, anyway.

[A Zarkin' Frood]

There are probably people who consider "jokes" about 8-Bit Theater ending some day to be in bad taste. And that's why I assume the joke was calling your neutral post an awful joke.
Geez, I hope I explained someone else's joke right.

[GrandMasterPlanetEater]

I don't get the "STube" thing. I mean, it's a seven-sided cube, not a seven-sided tube. Shouldn't it be a SCube? Or a Sube? Is it short for STupid cube?

Perhaps there's a reference being made I'm unaware of?

[Hanuman]

It's King Steve.

[Veho]

STeve cUBE.

[GrandMasterPlanetEater]

Ah. Makes sense. Thanks.

[Nuklear Waste]

If I read the latest news post correctly, there won't be any new 8BT until the new year...Which means that 2009 ended with a King Steve comic...

I can now rest in peace.

[EnuoCale]

It's the next year. Where's the next comic? I'm dyin out here.

[Genji]

Perhaps it's a stube as in a weinstube?
Seems like King Steve might have travelled to a hypothetical Germany a couple of times ...

[Roxas]

Correction, it is an Octube. The eighth side is the outside.

[Genji]

That can't work, as the outside is already specified by the 6 other sides.

You can't define the inside as 6 though, it would create a universal paradox in the realm of 8-bit.

Btw: "He's got us there."
The fricking thing is hollow, thereby not filled with deliciousness, thereby truly worthy to be a King Steve Scam!
