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!

And finally, our 1st place winner for 2009….. with an overwhelming 23 (out of 24 points)……
Ian Wagner and his awe-inspiring “Mother Brain & Baby Metroid” pumpkin set! Pretty amazing job, right? Well it’s certainly not surprising as he was our 1st place winner in 2008 as well! (with his impressive Samus pumpkin)
For a second year of impressing the Halolz judges, Ian will be getting another mountain of shirts (and other stuff) from Ninja-Bot!
Congratulations… and congrats to everyone for making our second annual pumpkin carving contest a big success! In fact to thank everyone who entered we will be sending out consolation prizes to everyone who entered this year! Just keep watching your email for more info!
Happy Halloween!

Mama mia! Add that to the list of things I don’t want to see coming out of my pipes!
Not only is OmeletGood’s “Piranha Plant” (which got 17 points) scary enough to frighten off the neighbors kids, but it brings me back to the classic days of Super Mario Bros! A win-win! And speaking of winning, he won a pile of stuff from Ninja-Bot! Great job!
