Yes way! Also, it was designed by a former mental patient!

And believe me, it shows!

Homer's Homer
Homer's Homer Pt. 1
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Now that's a stupid looking car! Who the hell designed this piece of crap?
|
|
That was you dad.
|
|
|
This car is beautiful.
|
|
|
Dad, I'm concerned as to why you don't remember this.
|
|
|
Yeah, that's a real head-scratcher, Lisa.

Homer's Homer Pt. 2
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Hey Lisa, what moron would put me in charge of designing a car?
|
|
|
Your brother.
|
|
|
I figured it would have to be someone related to me. Also, I have a brother?
|
|
|
Yes! Well, half brother. His name was Herb, and he let you design your dream car... which subsequently drove him into financial ruin.
|
|
|
Doesn't ring a bell.
|
|
|
That's a horrible thing to forget! What if I told you I forgot about Bart?
|
|
|
Who?
|
|
|
Just call your brother.
|
| Task: Make Homer Give Herb a Call (1h, Simpson Home)
|
|
Yello?
|
|
|
Hey, Herbie. It's your illegitimate half brother, Homer Simpson. Sorry we lost touch, buddy.
|
|
|
It's been over twenty years since you called, so your apology really changes everything.
|
|
|
You sound just like Marge when she accepts my apologies.
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10

Nostalgia and Kitsch Pt. 1
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Now that my car of the 90's has become the car of 2015, what do you think of rebranding it?
|
|
|
Is that why you called me? About that stupid, life-ruining car?!
|
|
|
Yeah, why?
|
|
|
Look, Homer. I've been going to therapy for my anger, so I'm gonna try to keep my cool right now.
|
|
|
So you'll put me in charge of the rebranding?
|
|
|
Ahhhhhh!!!!!
|
| Task: Make Herb Destroy his Office in a Tantrum (20h, Powell Motors)
|
|
Whoah! Check out that rad looking drive! Looks like a wheel I could get behind.
|
|
|
People like the car? Hmmmm
|
| Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Nostalgia and Kitsch Pt. 2
| After tapping on Herb Powell's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
You know Homer, after trashing my office in a fit of unmitigated rage, I had a thought on the car.
|
|
|
Are you going to make it freemium? I hear it's a guaranteed way to make billions!
|
|
|
People are always willing to pay huge amounts of money for nostalgic garbage like this!
|
|
|
But we're not even going to market it as a car. This stupid thing is a status symbol!
|
|
|
For the tenaciously hip of 2015?
|
|
|
That's right. But to appeal to them, it needs to be a hybrid!
|
|
|
Good idea. Who doesn't love a good transformer?
|
|
|
I know I do. I love transformers.
|
|
|
Stupid idea Homer! Let's do it!
|
Task: Make Herb Market the Homer (12h, Powell Motors)
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Nostalgia and Kitsch Pt. 3
| After tapping on Herb Powell's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Homer! I successfully licensed out the car design to Komatsu Motors for a cold 80 million!
|
|
|
That's great?
|
|
|
Homer, I'm so happy! As a token of appreciation, I want to bank your next great idea. We're going to be rich!
|
|
|
I think I've still got some great ideas in me. It's that or gas.
|
Task: Make Homer Invent Something New (12h, Moe's Tavern)
Quest reward: 100 and 10
|
|
Nostalgia and Kitsch Pt. 4
| After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark:
|
|
|
Herb, I've got my prototype prepared.
|
|
|
Really? Already? That sure was fast!
|
|
|
...Should I be impressed? Or terrified?
|
|
|
You should be impressed. I spent a lot of your money rushing the invention.
|
|
|
*gulp!* I'm still looking forward to this... so, what's the venue?
|
Task: Make Homer Present at Moe's (8h, Moe's Tavern)
Task: Make Herb Stare in Disbelief (8h, Moe's Tavern)
Task: Make Moe Serve Drinks (10h, Moe's Tavern)
|
|
|
Homer, you made the Homer car again?!
|
|
|
How could you do this to me?
|
|
|
It's the only thing I'm capable of creating.
|
|
*sings with horn* La cucaracha! La cucaracha!
|
|
|
How much did this prototype cost?
|
|
|
Including Homer's bar tab, you're out 82 million.
|
|
|
What? Really? My spongehead brother spent 82 million dollars?
|
|
|
I'm ruined! ...Again!
|
|
|
There there, Herb. On the bright side, now you have two of the most beautiful cars ever made.
|
|
|
*sobs*
