RAB & Garmin shenanigans!

Hey! Do you know anyone who's got one of them there fancy-ass Garmin navigator GPS doodads? Maybe you yourself even have one in your car. Well, if ya DO, wouldn't you like Hamster from RAB to actually be in the damn thing, as a custom 3D avatar, driving around in a white Lamborghini Countach go-kart?!

I thought you would!

So.... you might just have to check out Garmin's new contest & vote for me... I'm a finalist. The winner gets their avatar concept as a downloadable custom avatar for all time. That's right, you can make sure Hamster smears up Garmin with delicious chocolatey go-kart skidmarks by simply GOING HERE and selecting "Jamster" as your pick of the litter. You can only cote once, but you can also tell your friends to vote too!

Thanks for your vote...

--Dave

I voted for Jamster.

Wingman & Floater seems to be winning

Wigallo 2008-05-20 23:44:12

Dude I don't have one of those but I would BUY ONE just for this. Just the fact hamster would be in my car gives me a hard on. Also, would he also tell you which way to turn and where to go and stuff? Because if he did, I would like literally die of happiness.

so far the lead is at about 200 votes which if anyone that reads this votes for you you should do okay.

Newgrounders unite and vote Jamster.

JACK-IN-THE-DARK 2008-05-21 00:46:52

i voted for you, hope you win

Rammer 2008-05-21 01:02:58

looking at that Brain Freeze one, i would say that being a finalist isn't much of a big deal if that thing can become one.

but since you obviously didn't draw a hideous-looking ice cream truck in ms paint, i voted for you. i don't have a garmin - heck, i don't even have a car - but the thought of hamster invading garmins everywhere and saying random things about bruce willis in horrible english makes me laugh inside.

plus all the other ones blow :P

definately the best of the litter... who the fuck wants wingman as their avatar.

Dave 2008-05-21 01:23:01 (Updated 2008-05-21 22:49:33)

For some reason I read this as "who the fuck wants vagina as their avatar," and I almost choked on my pot pie.

And it got me to thinking... I would seriously love a great big floating vagina on my Garmin. Wee-hawwww! Even routine trips to Kohl's to buy sweatpants become serious fucking adventure with a floating vagina leading you there.

OK, one of you geniuses needs to figure out a way to hack the Garmin to accept custom 3D artwork. At no point will I ever be able to submit a picture of a vagina to one of their contests and expect to win anything more than an hour of wasted effort...

VOTED!
Jamster is the best one.. most of them look pretty bad

HolyPeanuts 2008-05-21 02:04:53

How the fuck are you not ahead? All the other avatars blow!

q13qew 2008-05-21 02:22:08

l voted awesome

xthesnarfx 2008-05-21 07:04:42

Even I could draw half of thoughs finalests. Yours is the only one that comes close to looking nice. Voted!

Stevezor 2008-05-21 08:34:22

Good luck, but the other two seem a bit tough to beat.

Kenshin1913 2008-05-21 09:16:06

I voted. I hope you win because my friend owns a Garmin and I will make him put hamster as his avatar!

DibbityDan 2008-05-21 14:32:37

Ice cream truck, ftw! (seriously, what were they thinking)

Dave 2008-05-21 14:32:37

I think all of the concepts themselves are great. Maybe the execution is a bit "MEH" on a few, but whatever, it's the idea that counts. And besides, Garmin needs a larger, more well-rounded pile of vehicles for people to choose from... maybe they should start by just doing all 20 contest ideas. What's not kickass about an ice cream truck avatar, or a UFO. or even a dang slice of pizza?

That shit's not as kickass as Hamster in a Lamborghini, but still...

AjaxMooseXing 2008-05-21 20:01:41

you're winnig by 1% to a guy with an airplane design... any comments?

Dave 2008-05-21 20:01:41

Thanks everyone... Jamster is in the lead. All my online friends and family are pulling through very well. I dunno why I enter contests like this... maybe it's beneath my station, but dammit, I really wanted Hamster on my Nuvi. I HAD to enter.....

dalilkingpin 2008-05-21 20:26:42

i just voted and jamster was winning by 7%, Hooray for bruce willis :)

Theo-art 2008-05-21 21:24:40

These Garmin navigators are useful and all, and I'd been pretty lucky to have one when I got lost a while back.

The only thing I wish I knew was how to turn that annoying ass lady's voice down, it literally ruins any trip. Having a RAB in there would make it oh so bearable though, I have no doubts you'll win.

TURN RIGHT IN 0.8 MILES...
..TURN RIGHT..
...CONTINUE 19 MILES THEN TURN LEFT.

What's even better is when it tells me to turn into my driveway, THANKZ GARMIN BITCH.

Dave 2008-05-21 21:24:40 (Updated 2008-05-21 22:39:20)

There's gotta be a volume controller somewhere in them shits.

The thing that gets to me is when I'm on a highway, like say, Route 84 West, and Garmin voice-lady keeps telling me "in a quarter mile, follow I-84 West" every single time there's an exit to a different highway.... wish there was a setting to just tell me when to exit... I think I can figure out that I should stay on my current route until then & not be reminded every half mile...

Blah blah, life is so hard, etc.
