Blizzard's 2008 pumpkin carving contest winners announced

Nov 1st, 2008

Blizzard's annual pumpkin carving contest has come to a close and the winners have been announced. I gotta say, some of them look incredible. The sheer amount of detail these people are able to pack into a pumpkin is pretty mind blowing. Like I mentioned when we displayed the Ghostcrawler pumpkin here, I'm barely capable of cutting big triangle eyes. My oafish hands would scream in horror if someone asked me to do something like these carvings. I wonder if the people who did these carvings are the sort that do it professionally for various holiday events. If not, they should be.

The winners of the contest were each awarded a Logitech G51 Surround Sound Speaker System. That rig retails for about $200, so that's not a bad deal at all. Since I don't even currently own speakers and use a pair of $15 headphones, I'm a little jealous. Maybe I'll go out and buy some speakers soon. Not a $200 set, but speakers nonetheless.

WoW Moviewatch: Roberto's Hallow's End Special

Nov 3rd, 2007

As we bid adieu to Hallow's End, I would like to take a moment to look back at some of the events we enjoyed during these few short weeks. We tricked, we treated, we slew a dead guy on a horse with a really creepy laugh. Ah, good times.

With pumpkin carving still on our minds, I present to you a Snacky's Journal moviewatch, only this one is completely devoid of Snacky or his overly boisterous Night Elf friend. It's a Hallow's End special, starring my personal favorite character from the series, Roberto.

NSFW: There's a reference or two in here that might offend the kiddies, or the stodgier guys in your cubicle.

Blizzard pumpkin contest winners announced

Nov 1st, 2007
Every year Blizzard has their Pumpkin Carving Contest and every year it amazes what people manage to do with a miniature knife and a seasonal gourd. This year is no exception. Blizzard choose 10 winners and 18 honorable mentions from the many amazing entries they received.

The winners are getting a pair of Logitech 51 Surround Sound Speaker System. And everyone else is getting, um, moldy pumpkins in a week.

For anyone wondering how these talented gourd gougers do their thing, check out his cool How To that I found explaining the latest pumpkin carving tricks.

Odds and ends, Blizzard, Contests
