Yes! Yes! We’ve finally got some winners for ya! Emily, Fred and I put our collective heads together and have named the following entries as our grand prize winners! These winners will receive the respect of their peers, along with that juicy Level Up Studios store credit!
Our most creative winner this year was Primevil with his amazing pumpkin rendition of Metroid Prime 3′s Aurora Unit 313! You may remember some of his previous work when he won prizes in our first year and second year contest with his impressive Metroid themed carvings! Who knows what Metroid themed thing we’ll see next year!
Our most detailed winner this year was ceemdee, who for a second year swept the category with her incredibly beautiful carvings! We featured these three in particular because each judge had a favorite… Emily voted for “Bastion,” Fred voted for “Ico” and Shawn voted for “Minesweeper.” However you have to admit that all her entries were extremely well done!
And finally our most humorous winner this year was “Pumpkin Gaiden” by newcomer Sir Zebulon Anselm Löwe lll! His Ryu Hayabusa pumpkin literally destroyed the competition, along with most of his front yard!
Congratulations again to all our grand prize winners, and stay tuned for our next post where we will announce our eight runner-up winners!

Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
for me the "most detailed" winners are more impressive than the grand prize one (too much tinfoil).
Minesweeper on a pumpkin. AWESOME!!!
Congrats to the winners.
I was sure that Worms might win something.
That pumpkin alone contained some pure nostalgias.
Very nice.
I want that Minesweeper.
Congrats guys. Those are some Epic Pumpkins.
for we are the champions…..
Congrats guys,
I would have entered but sadly my hands are not meant for art. they only destroy!
spplmj cannot make art? WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!
It hasn't hosted art lessons, that's for sure.
Not really. Have you tried playing it?
Basically, I can't even push a tile without getting my hand covered in pumpkin.
Clearly you've only been pressing the mines then. Rotten luck, really.
Minesweeper pumpkin was my favorite. I'm glad it won something.
Rotten luck is right.
Maybe my pumpkins are a little too ripe…
He didn't ask for this!
I actually had an idea also, I was gonna paint easter eggs with slowpoke's face on them.
Unfortunetly i had neither the supplies nor the motorskills to preform such a delicate operation, I dont know if it would even be allowed as per the rules but never the less i thought it would have been hilarious.
Hopefully nobody feels their win was a hallow victory.
There is always next humiliating year!
Their impressive skills are the seeds to a great future.
Ughh that is the last time I try and pull off something that complex (my hand is still sore).
That said glad you all liked it although it was only last night when I realized what I should have done.

I say do it anyway next year! I'm sure with a joke like that Shawn would let it slide.
You shouldn't have done that…
No, really. You definitely should not carve that into a pumpkin. I wanna be able to sleep every now and then.
So, if i accidentaly hit a mine, will the pumpkin explode?
The link attached to Shawns' 'Yes! Yes!' was quite disappointing. No M. Bison video. D:
I vote next year we have a "Being Primevil" category to make things be a bit more streamlined.
That's weird… it was originally! I'll go fix it!
I see.
Very well, you do that.
You could always make a slowpoke pumpkin now, take a photo and submit it when Christmas time comes around. Use those hands of destruction to find (read: coerce) some artistic friends!
I call hax on whoever made the Bastion submission.
And thus was invented the exploding pumpkin for the TF2 halloween event.
