I have one copy of Bastion to give away.

There will be no runners up for this prize, only one winner.

What you have to do to win it is come up with the best caption for this screenshot:

Try to be funny or clever, and just ignore the caption I wrote.

The competition will close on the 16th of December, which gives you one week to enter. You may submit more than one entry.

All entries must be posted in this thread.

Good luck!

This was a tough competition to judge. So many good entries.

I have narrowed it down to a short list.

First finalist is Bzerk with his Night Before Christmas restyle, because it references both the Dead Island game and the Dead Island book AND rhymed:

<=RB= Bzerk- posted on December 13, 2011 @ 6:15am
'Twas the night before Z-day, there were drinks and a band.
There were zombies stirring, on Dead Island.
The gunshots and groans could be heard all around.
The hopes of the four adventureres could be found.

Deep inland of the island, in the large jungle.
Working out the specifics of the disease, was it fungal?
Driving, getting back to the drug-testing facility.
The driver didn't watch where they were going, poor visibility?

The driver has swerved off the road and tilted the car
The thing to do, was to wonder why the world was slightly ajar
Hopping out of the car, the driver can't help but stare
The driver would spend a few minutes, just standing there.

Taking a couple of steps back. What is there to do.
But to take out your camera, and give everyone a view.
The crash has taken the car into the air! Off the ground.
The front two wheels were the only thing on dirt to be found.

The driver stands watching it there in the precarious position
Soon after though, the driver must get back to their mission.
Bringing back the dead flesh to the man of science
Hoping for the best, but they only have their skills for reliance

I also liked this entry from Bzerk, just because I could see it actually happening in the picture:

Mr invisible is playing with the Hydraulics again, maybe if I smack him with this hammer he will stop.

Second finalist is Snakezilla, because it sounds EXACTLY like something I would say, if I ever found myself in this situation IRL:

It looks as if Arjee has the hammer on the car and is sayng, "Maybe if I put this here....and bend this rim, we can drive again! "

Third finalist is Hitman, because his entry was very straight forward, fit the picture naturally, and is just damn good advice (keep it in mind):

That's why you don't drive with a sledgehammer.

Fourth finalist is CHEWY, whose caption was just short and sweet and made me smile each time I read it:

That's the last time I ask a zombie for directions. OOF!


Argy posted on December 21, 2011 @ 2:03am
Honourable mention goes to Sponge, who was the first cab off the rank, and came up with something VERY clever:

Argy posted on December 21, 2011 @ 2:03am
The winner is ...

THE CHEWBACCA DEFENSE

That's the last time I ask a zombie for directions. OOF!

His entry thought a little bit outside the square, while still making sense, and was just funny as hell.

Now, it is Christmas. So, you guessed it, ALL the finalists can look in their Christmas swag for a copy of Bastion. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks to everyone who took part.

It turns out that I have an insanely busy weekend. I probably won't get around to judging this competition until Monday, my time. Feel free to add anything else you can think of, in the meantime.


Snakezilla posted on December 14, 2011 @ 8:35am
Arjee has invented a masterpiece! A hovercraft! It's fail absorbant, accident prone, and it has auto-parking abilities!


Snakezilla posted on December 14, 2011 @ 8:32am
Notice how the jeep is not facing the objective, the mini map has an arrow above the vehicle icon as if to say "fix this", arjee has a wrench, and the little north part of the compass is pointing at the problem. Good O'l Arjee.

Can't find a parking space?
It's absolutely no problem, if you buy one of our new CRAB CARS!

OH MY GOD, MY PICKUP! THE ROOF IS GONE!

Arjee thought she was pro,
but she doesn't know my bro.
The zombie master,
was so much faster.
She didn't stand a chance,
he did a little dance.
Arjee was then thrown,
into the death zone.


<=RB= Bzerk- posted on December 11, 2011 @ 4:31am
There once was a little car.
That would be used to crush zombies into a jar.
However zombies would come,
And the car would crash some,
All in all it didn't get very far.

It's time to kick ass and drive around
...but I got out of my car.

On-Roading.

Outback nearly took out your back.
God didn't want the back wheels touching the ground.
Ghost hulk, HIM ANGRY!
Humping the road.
Now, where'd that T-rex go? Got some words for him >.>
Invisible fire hydrant anyone?
That's why you don't drive with a sledgehammer.
Don't drive and kill.

Let´s see now... Where did i park my car???

<=RB= 'Stavo: im bad at english so what do caption mean?
<=RB= Arjee: Caption is like giving the picture a title.
<=RB= 'Stavo: ok
<=RB= Arjee: I'll do an example.
<=RB= Arjee: So, say you were looking at a picture of a teddy bear with one ear missing.
<=RB= 'Stavo: okey
<=RB= Arjee: A caption might be something like, "Mr Bear knew there was something wrong when he got up this morning, but he couldn't figure out what it was until he tried to put his glasses on".
<=RB= 'Stavo: okey thanks
<=RB= Arjee: They are usually better if they are a little bit funny or clever.

Well, I've already got a copy of Bastion, but I don't think it'd hurt to get the ball rolling with two I just come up with;

"It's an awkward space, but I have to Pay and Display at the one down the road."

"Dukes of Hazzard! The aftermath!"
