And finally our grand prize for most creative pumpkin goes to Nick Everson for his Halo: Reach Haunted Helmet! Not only is it a great design, but it looks awesome when it’s on fire! I guess that particular haunted helmet belongs to someone at Bungie?
Our runners-up prizes for most creative go to Nick and Molly for their uniquely lit Pacman and Ghosts, and Daniel Potvin for The Original Ghost Pump-kemon that features everyone’s three favorite original ghost Pokémon (and a creatively painted Pokeball!) Well done, and congrats again to everyone for making this a fantastic 3rd Halloween carving contest!

Official song description: “While Ke$ha’s song ‘TiK ToK’ extols the love one slut has for a night of drinking and parties and clubbing, conversely, ‘DiG DuG’ extols one nerd’s love for classic video games and arcades. The dicotomy is staggering.”
A little tune by Insane Ian, a guy I met at InterventionCon!

Well, that was a surprise! If you stop by Google today you’ll notice that they’re celebrating Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary with a playable Google stage! Check it out!
Protip: Insert two coins to add Ms. Pac-Man as a second player!

This is why you’re supposed to properly recycle your electronics.
By French visual effects company Onemoreproduction, submitted by Adam and killercartoons
Also not to go TOO nerdy on you, but technically this video is about voxels, not pixels!
You see because pixels are two-dimensional and voxels are “volumetric pixels” which would be a pixel’s 3D equivalent.
So yeah don’t say you never learned anything by reading this site! We’re here to entertain AND educate!
