Typo in the title. "TTO"

Was the couch always big enough to accommodate Gunny, though?

I feel like I should hate this turn of events but for some reason I don't.

Does this mean Gunny comes along into whichever game they play next? Err... assuming that's what they do.

I like the poses and expressions in the last panel.

PS. You seem to have a typo in the title.

Damn that low-word count filter, as there's really only one possible response for this development:

Yay, Gunny's still around!

I look forward to seeing him wrapping his head around adventure games or today's crop of non-traditional games along the lines of Dear Esther, if the comic ever gets there.

Welcome back to the real world! [looks around] Yeah, this sucks. Let's play another game!

I think of that extra 't' in "tto" as like an electronic voice saying "Back to Reality" in some kind of skipping, malfunctioning way, like "Bbbback tto Reeeeeeeealitttty".

There isnt anything that cant or wont be sacrificed upon the Altar of Comedy.

I don't think these guys can decide between drama or comedy.

Oh my. Rad holding the controller with his back legs (and presumably also pulling the triggers with them?). I melted.

Harvest Moon.
But I still say we should ring the potato patch with seismic mines. Those moles won't know what hit 'em,

Dead Rising.
Are these zombies supposed to be scary, they can't even bite through my armor Whilst trudging through a sea of zombies glomped to him nonchalantly.

World of Warcraft.
Why do we have to do this for ten hours to get past that guy? Look I'll show you how... Shoves shotgun into Boss' face, the quest continues.

A little.

But I can't say it bothers me much. The 'feels' from the last strip where still had and what I assume the desired effect was gotten, and with the break, It's gone from 'feels a character died' to 'feels they're back'

That's how I'm reading it anyway.
