… the ultimate awesome garage part one:
And since there was so much discussion about other cars that could have been in there I thought I would open up the sequel to you guys to decide.
Now I did leave out the spaceships, I will draw them at some stage or the other but for now they would be too hard to add to our garage and stay in scale.
So here is the short-list, you can choose three vehicles from this list and in a week’s time I’ll close the voting and the following weekend …

A while ago I did the illustration above, the most awesome garage in the world. I stand by my choices in this piece, these are the three cars I would most love to have sitting in my backyard and I’m pretty awesome so I know this stuff.
Of course some of you felt that there weren’t enough bays in our awesome garage (one of you also made a groan worthy joke about the garage itself being fairly ordinary but the cars being awesome…). So I’m going back into the pop culture auto industry and letting you guys nominate and ultimately vote on the next three cars to go into the awesome’st garage part two.
Now I’ve got some suggestions of my own to get you rolling:
- The Gadget Mobile (car mode)
- Any vehicle from MASK
- The 60′s Batmobile
- The Galileo shuttle craft from Star Trek (whatever, it would fit in a garage)
- The A-Team van
- The Star Car from The Last Starfighter
- Light bike from Tron
- KITT (though it would be boring to draw… shut up, don’t judge me)
Well that should have gotten you thinking and since I know you guys are all very clever and knowledgeable in the art of popular culture I expect some out of left field suggestions in the comments. I would also love to see some new names in the comments, time to come out of the shadows and be embraced by the Quit Your Day Job community!
When I’ve got a healthy list I’ll cross off any I don’t think I’ll be able to draw (fair go) and then offer the rest up for you to vote for in a poll!
Be a part of awesomeness, tell your readers and friends and that shady guy down the street who smells like wet carpet… actually don’t bother telling him.
Now speaking of awesomeness I had two awesome ideas today that made a little bit of stardust seep out of my left ear out of sheer bloody amazingness. The rough pencil thumb guide is up at my Posterous site for the first idea and the second will take a little bit of time but involves two characters from the Goodies and Baddies set.
It’s going to be cool.
Get in on the ground floor, share the coolness with others.
Proclaim your commitment to the cool.
Arnold was cool, why don’t you want to be?
So I got myself a Wii, a while back, I don’t think I announced it here. There was at least some small amount of happy dance as I joined the millions of others with those bobble headed Wii avatars.
I chose the Wii out of the XBox, it and the PS3 based in no small part, the cost and the idea that I might actually be able to finish The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time which I consider one of the greatest 1 player games I’ve ever had the joy to play.
Once someone informed me that Ocarina was not lost for all time tied to the now defunct Nintendo 64 and that I would be able to get it for my Wii it got me across the line.
Now I’ve had the Wii for a few months and I knew going in that the graphics didn’t hold up to the PS3 and XBox. That’s all cool, it does exactly what I was hoping in regards to Zelda and Mario Kart.
However there are a couple of sticking points.
The Ghostbusters game which I resigned myself to accepting the cartoon graphics to play on the Wii STILL hasn’t been released here despite being on the PS2 for the last couple of months. Obviously Sony wants people like myself flipping out and buying it on PS2 or upgrading, it’s marketing of course but is screwing over the fans that great?
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 has actually been released for the Wii but things are not looking so sunny in Wii land for the Marvel Universe. I first got wind of this when QYDJ regular Matt from Culture Kills warned me not to rush in and grab it as there are some rumours floating around relating to quality. Matt knows I have been burnt before.
Iron Man on the PS2.
Shudder.
I blamed Matt too for not being on constant call just in case I needed to ring him regarding games purchases. Wishing to avoid my nonsensical ravings at him he caught this MUA2 situation early and gave me fair warning.
Matt’s no fool when it comes to games and these are some of things going around the interwebz in regards to the game:
- This clumsy and unsatisfying sequel is a step backward. Gamespot
- Someone needs to learn the definition of “Ultimate.” IGN
Oh dear, these are the specific Wii reviews on the game and whilst the other platforms don’t get perfect scores in any sense of the term they all rate a lot higher than the Wii version.
So now I’m beginning to feel like I got myself an expensive Zelda box with a side of Mario Kart.
Also speaking of Culture Kills, I did a guest post over there the other day talking about my own gaming experiences to which Matt added a great title and some awesome commentary so go read: Lee Sargent and the Guest Post of Doom oh and if you don’t already, read the rest of the blog, it’s all good stuff, especially Matt’s The 25 Best Playstation 2 Games I’ve Ever Played series of posts.
