Jim, CTZ and the RetroforeGO! crew are traveling through the Destructoid City subway system, which is now overrun with zombie trolls. There they find Necros, who leads them to a safe room/broom closet to meet other survivors.
The Destructor-toid is still roaming the city skyline ploughing through buildings in an almost child-like fashion. Along with it, the streets are filled with seemingly sentient Xbox 360s, attacking anyone that they come across. No-one has a clue what's going on. Not even me.
It was Conrad Zimmerman who had the winning comment this time. Check it out after the jump.

MEANWHILE, IN SUBURBIA --
Ashly Burch is curled up in her overstuffed chair, game controller in hand. Anthony Burch approaches from behind her. "Hey Ash, whatcha playing?"
"I don't know," she responds with a quizzical look on her face. "I just got it in the mail. It's some kind of robot game."
A robot game indeed. The screen displays a giant robot, none other than the Destructor-toid, as it rampages throughout city streets. "It's pretty cool," Ashly continues, "free-roaming, fully destructible environments and the graphics are amazing."
Anthony turns to face Ashly and asks, "Ash, did you notice anything odd when you started up the Xbox?"
"No. Why?"
"It has three red lights..."
I kept as accurate the the comment as I possibly could, it's pretty much word for word.
THE RULES: 1. You have 24 hours from the time this blog was posted to suggest what happens next. After that, I'll choose the winning comment and the page will then be posted the following week. 2. Try to keep it relatively SFW. 3. You can only make a suggestion once per week. 4. Your suggestion has to fit on one page (although I will occasionally stretch it to two pages). Now what? What's up with the Burch 360? What is this mysterious game? Does it control the Destructor-toid in some way? How? AND WHERE THE HELL IS NIERO?!

Wheres Papa Burch? is he going to bust out the METALGEAR?
I like the new gamer dictionary :)
They are told that they can't find a Dreamcast in Goodwill anymore because it was destroyed by zombies , but are told of a ancient legend , of the immortal bearded samurai Y0j1mb0 , owner of all slightly related to gaming and of a powerfull clan of samurais , the legend says it's just across the subway , but no one ever tryed to get there , fearing Nemesis (from Resident Evil), with no choice left , our mighty heroes try to cross the subway ...Oh , and the clan is the Dtoid community ! (and I MUST appear, one handed katana , big eyes ,big head , big eyebrows , black hair and white skin)...Also , Nemesis is Mr Sadistic , with the gimp suit and all ...
But I think we need some more Papa Burch. Just sayin'.
NAWWAHIMEAN?
Good job as always on the suggestion and great artwork, well done.
In the next one, Randombullseye appears and annoys everyone like he normally does.
I think I love you. In a manly way.
I like Naim Master's suggestion for continuing for continuing the hero's sewer journey.
I like Chronic Logic's idea for continuing on with the Burch subplot(or something simmilar to it).
So I think you could do another two page spread where the first page is Chronic's idea and shows the Burch siblings getting sucked into a digital world(and maybe you could somehow allude that they are being taken to someplace closer to where Niero is). The second page could then be Naim Master's idea.
That's my opinion anyhow.
I love the fact that we're tangential to the "main" group -- I hope it stays that way to some degree so that you end up with one of those really epic "several separate groups of people who know each other fighting in different areas for the same cause" formats like MGS4 and the end of the third LOTR movie used to great effect.
Anthony: "so? what do you mean so?"
Ash: "hey, as long as it works who cares what color it is anyway?"
Anthony: "good point.... no wait! that's not what I............... hey Ash.."
Ash: "what?"
Anthony: "Doesn't that house look familiar? It kinda looks like our house"
and this comic never ceases to amaze me. I love this comic.
Speaking of... you should put some temple of doom in there.
