OH DEAR GOD NO!! Christ I thought that moon was creepy in Majora’s Mask… but as a pumpkin… oh man it’s far worse!
Picking up 3rd place (with 14 points) is TCC’s “3 days…” (which will forever haunt my nightmares). Congratulations, you’ve ruined my life, and earned a little of everything from Ninja-Bot!

In 4th place (with 10 points), a pumpkin that even comes with it’s own TF2 update page… the “Candy-spenser” by Kyle Schouville! Who needs health and ammo when you can have DELICIOUS CANDY!
To help embrace the deliciousness, Kyle will be receiving a Falcon Lunch shirt along with some other treats!

5th place was also a tie (at 8 points each) between Nick Everson’s “Halo: ODST Hell Jumpers” and Arhmend and Juusan’s “Spy Sapping My Sentry!”
Props to Nick for his detailed carving design, and Arhmend/Juusan’s creative use of scene (including sparklers for the sapped sentry!) They’ll both be receiving some awesome stickers and pins!

Our first winners in a three-way tie for 6th place (at 3 points each) are “Falcon Pumpkin” by Pikamari, “I Have A Rocket Launcher” and “PEELS” by BananaDib, Dr. Falcon and Wasabi!
These three entries did a good job of racking up honorable mention points across all the judges with both Halolz references and carving difficulty! Congrats to these three winners who have won some Ninja-Bot sticker packs!

Before I start posting our Halloween contest winners, I felt like we should at least go over how the judging worked this year!
This year we had four judges:
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Shawn Handyside (halolz.com) |
Alyssa Young (redpepperhead.com) |
Scott Ramsoomair (vgcats.com) |
Tina Pratt (paul-reveres.com) |
Each judge was asked to pick their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th favorite entry (in order), along with three “honorable mentions.” Then based on their picks each entry would get a number of points like so:
1st – 6 points
2nd – 5 points
3rd – 4 points
4th – 3 points
5th – 2 points
Honorable Mention – 1 point
Then we tallied up all the points and the pumpkins with the highest scores won! Pretty democratic right? So along with each winner I will be posting the point score the pumpkin got (out of a maximum of 24 points).
And now… on to the winners!

Hey guys! It’s that time again!
Yep, time for the Halolz video game pumpkin carving contest!
For those new to the site, last year we held a pumpkin carving contest for all Halolz readers! It was actually sort of a last minute thing, but even still we got some fantastic entries and gave away some awesome prizes! And now that we know what we’re doing, this year is going to be even better!

Did I swear last time? Ok this time, FOR SERIOUS…
Just wanted to congratulate everyone on helping Wolf reach the rank of “King of the Cosmos” and putting him in first place in Namco’s contest! Of course he needs to stay there so the more stuff you can add to the katamari the better! Remember anything we win will be given away on the site!
And seriously, last (picture) post on this subject… that animation of him rolling a katamari doesn’t get any better than that!
