Previously on the Destructoid Comic:
CyberneticTigerZ bravely steps out of the broom closet that he, Jim, RetroforceGO! and the Failcast crew were holed up in to check that the coast is clear. Suddenly, the roof caves in. Looking up he sees the glowing red eyes of the Destructor-toid staring down, it's huge metal hand reaching toward him. The hand comes crashing down appearing to crush CTZ. Luckily, CTZ's armour is designed to withstand such pressure and he survives, though much of his Cyber Organic Tiger Shark suit is damaged. CTZ is less than pleased. Jim, RetroforceGO! and the Failcast believe CTZ to have been killed.
The comment that pushed the story along this time was Necros!
Shit just got real.
My thoughts:
Topher's Ikaruga is still crucial to stopping the giant menace, but it still needs that Dreamcast from Goodwill. However, the robot has found the underground safehouse because of Ashley's reckless playing, so the Dtoid crew is in trouble. Hamza and Jim break off to fight the Destructor-toid head-on so that RetroforceGO! can proceed to Goodwill. The Failcast crew stays behind at the safehouse to fend off the zombies so that they are not followed.
Kind of dry, but it'll move the story along (resolving RFGO's goal from several months ago), and it also works with other suggestions for Hamza that are far more descriptive and imaginative than mine.
I thought it was best to re-aim everyone towards the goal of the Dreamcast, before we forget what's happening.
THE RULES:
1. You have 24 hours from the time this blog was posted to suggest what happens next.
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).
How will Niero escape from the clutches of Tom Jackson? Will Anthony realise that his sister is playing an actual murder simulator? Will CTZ be okay as he faces the Destructor-toid alone?

You'd better include the forums at some point.
*too soon*
My suggestion for next week is that I am in the comic. That is all.
The remaining group finally makes it to their goal. The goodwill.
We see the outside of a store called "Destructoid City Goodwill Forum"
Inside looks much bigger then you would think from the outside. Scattered around the store are shelves of games, books and what have you. There are a few people mingling about. Stocking a shelf labeled FNF is Mxyzptlk and behind the counter is yours truly. Mingling around the store can be a bunch of forum regulars like Banj, Morty and what have you. Fill the place with references :D
"Dyson! So good to see you. I have that dreamcast you ordered" I say to the group.
"oh and before you go, take a badge" as I say point toward the box of badges on the counter.
Chad looks at the image and screams "OH MY GOD! WE'VE GOT BACKUP" in the last panel we see a bunch of roosters crossing the street in front of the giant robot "Also, cocks"
I really don't care who the servbot head guy is, I just really like the joke.
Laughed at the Wilbo reference too.
Anyhow, meager suggestion, but I think that we should see Hamza and Jim trying to fend off the Destructortoid, while Ashley stares at her screen yelling about how those damn little dots won't die. Anthony needs to make whitty comment about the game's "AI". Last scene shows the RetroforceGO! crew standing outside of the goodwill store.
It was an honor serving with you! T_T
There should be a scene where Robert Summa gets fired from Joystiq. Literally an atari joystick.
Then you should also put in a scene, where collete bites a nintendo controller naked.
And lastly, a scene where Chad rides a dolphin across a rainbow holding puppies.
A scene where the failcasts defeats the robot by felating its nuts and bolts. As we all know, robots are perverts.
Chad's real motives in fact mirror those of M. Bison in Street Fighter the movie. We cut to an underground lair, in the center being a plastic model of his perfect world. Behind the model is a banner which can be made out to say "Chadopolis." He makes reference to the people's name in his perfect world, the Concelmonians, and he speaks with one of his Retroforce henchemen about making the dolphin park bigger. The final panel is a sky view of the model city, which is shaped like none other than Chad Concelmo's incredibly handsome face!! Of course, none of the other members of Retroforce know about this.
Dun Dun DUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!
The gang find Goodwill's, and Topher and Collete bust the door down. Chad asks "Um, was that necessa-?" but is cut off by a familiar voice. It's Tom Jackson, holding the last remaining Dreamcast in a hand, with his other hand behind him, saying "Looking for this?". Jim, in a fit of Monocled rage (his Monocle glows with power) lunges at him, but is instantly stopped by a mysterious force."It's useless, I also have this." revealing a glowing golden ring (see: Sonic). "You all though murder simulators we're my greatest trump card, but wouldn't have dreamed of the catastrophe I created. THIS (holding the Dreamcast higher) is the last evidence of my triumph." Then, Jackson is beamed up star trek style. Everyone falls back with their feet in the air. At the last panel, Tom Jackson is in that room with the screens figure laughing maniacally. In the back, Niero has a huge sweat drop over his head.
