The Destructoid Comic: Those left behind photo

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?

Hamza, now left alone, gets so pissed off he jumps at the MEGAROBOT and crushes it's torso with his hammer. Inside it's torso he finds REGGIE drugged down with a vitality sensor on his finger. The vitality sensor is what powers the robot. Hamza takes it of, and the Burches 360 finally dies. But this also means that the robot is inevitably falling towards it's doom. It falls down on a house on the outskirts of town where the black Jonathan Holmes live. Hamza and Holmes team up.

My suggestion for next week is that I am in the comic. That is all.

Here is my idea.

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.

The crew runs to the goodwill store and suddenly in the sky is Jonathan Holmes flying in a Tanuki Suit and Conrad Zimmerman wearing a playboy t-shirt starts firing his exclusive "discount grenades".

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"

My only suggestion is to have the group make it to the Goodwill store in the next installment, and to make it awesome like always.

The cast of Failcast is fighting a war of attrition, a war they simply cannot win. However, when things suddenly look their darkest, a lone figure bursts into action. Wearing a business suit and a servbot head, the new arrival flash kicks the head off of one of the infected. When asked how he did that, he simply grabs his camera in one hand and says, "That's nothing, I've covered wars you know."

I really don't care who the servbot head guy is, I just really like the joke.

WIN!!!

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.

I definitely think the next page starts at the Goodwill. From there, the Retroforce team go in and explore but get attacked by a giant bee(ahem, I mean hornet) when suddenly Samit jumps in and takes their sting so that they can get the Dreamcast back to the Ikaruga.

If the comic doesn't involve an underground burial site of the E.T. Atari games at some point, I'll be sad.

Some scenes I would put into this:

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.

Behind that innocent facade that Chad Concelmo shows us every day, lurks a much more sinsiter complex. A complex that wants to take over the world...

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 group makes its way to the goodwill containing the dreamcast only to find out that it has been destroyed in the robots rampage.In an uncontrolable rage, Jim screams at the sky unleashing all of his emotions. Team retroforce looks at one another and nods their heads in unanimous agreement will Jim paces back in forth with rage. Topher walks up to him and says "Jim, its ok. We didn't think it was gonna have to come to this but we have a plan B." The retroforce members place themselves at five points forming a pentagon. They all start chanting a low, unrecognizable hyme. "Topher turns his head to Jim and says "Don't worry, he'll know what to do, he's been around the block if you know what I mean." Jim's puzzled reaction was expected. When the team finishes there chant, they all look up, and are instantly sucked into the middle of the pentagon forming a large black sphere. Jims expression now shows one that has just shit his pants. He moves closer to the sphere and touches it. It starts to wobble and then suddenly a large black needle pierces through barley missing hisface. A burst of light then erupts and Jim falls to one knee holding his eyes. Once Jim regains his vision he looks up to find Geraldo Beedog hovering next to him. The last panel zooms in on Geraldo (This time showing some K9's) saying "JOURNALISM!"

Okay, this is how it goes:

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.
