Our grand prize for most humorous pumpkin goes to ChimpoDelFuego for “The Orange Spy” (possibly one of the simplest winning designs we’ve ever seen!) and I was told we would be carving pumpkin!, a pumpkinized version of Gentleman Heavy (complete with top hat and monocle!)
Our humorous runners-up include GengarKing’s PumpKoffin’ (a Koffing with an awesome face is good, but adding a “poison gas attack” makes it great!), and suicid3clutch’s Old Snake takes out an Enemy Soldier for it’s stealthy kill pose! Congrats guys!

Our grand prize for most detailed pumpkin goes to ceemdee with a four-way tie between four of his many amazing pumpkins! The four pumpkins that received the top votes were Creeper, Day of the Tentacle, Homeworld and DeathSpank. The judges were unanimous in that all their top picks for most detailed were pumpkins by ceemdee!
Picking up runner-up prizes are GLaDOS Cake Core and Curiosity Core by LadyFiede (talk about detailed… they’re right up there with that Portal Sentry Pumpkin!) and No King Rules Forever by Artais! Great job guys!

Just like previous years, it’s time to tell you about the judges who will be picking out your 2010 contest winners!
Why announce them today? Because we want the judges to have some mystery so that you guys aren’t specifically making pumpkins for games that a specific judge loves! Gotta keep it fair, right? (Not that it really matters, we play so many games anyway!)
This year’s four judges are:
| Shawn Handyside HALOLZ Editor |
Alyssa Young Bead Sprite Artist |
Scott Ramsoomair Webcomic Artist |
Mohammad Haque Artist & Designer |
Special Abilities: EAT SANDVICH |
Stat Bonus: GARDENING +5 |
Secret Move: PROCRASTINATE |
Combo Attack: STYLUS STRIKE |
Personal Favorites: Team Fortress 2 Super Smash Bros. Mega Man |
Personal Favorites: Kingdom Hearts Phantasy Star Animal Crossing |
Personal Favorites: Pokémon Legend of Zelda Lucasarts Classics |
Personal Favorites: Halo Left4Dead Call of Duty |
Each judge was asked to pick their 1st, 2nd and 3rd favorite for each of this years categories, and the highest rated in each category will be declared the winner! Then the remaining favorites will be selected as runner-ups!

These were all done by my pal Josh Mirman! You can also check out his stuff on DeviantArt!

I’m afraid I’m still behind on promoting our summer shirts! However I’m sure you guys remember this old classic, but did you notice the new art for 2010?
By popular demand we’ve recreated our original “This Is How I Roll” design you know and love with new art featuring a 33% more adorable Prince, a 15% more geometrically sound katamari, and an 11% more aesthetic font! Now that’s math you can take the bank!
The design is currently available at Ninja-Bot in both mens and ladies sizes starting at $17.99. Be sure to pick one up and help support the site!
