The First Gamepumpkins of the Year

Owen Good — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 12:00:00 EDT

And we've received our first game pumpkin submission — Mega Man firing on Mr. Game & Watch from Super Smash Brothers. Reader Nathan G. carved it, about three weeks before Halloween, so, it should be good and slimy and rotted out by Oct. 31. Every year about this time we get hit with game pumpkins (not literally) so, if you're cravin' a carvin', get after it, snap it and send it to us. Check out last year's punkin roundup to see if your idea has been done before. More »

Pumpkin Roundup!!!

Mark Wilson — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 14:40:30 EDT

BREAKING: Kotaku readers are the greatest pumpkin carvers in the entire world.

Mario Pumpkin Might "Win"

Mark Wilson — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:20:54 EDT

In less than 24 hours, the great pumpkin vs. gourd war has come to an end. The reason? ~~A lack of followers.~~ Mario. Lovable Mario, his face carved from pumpkin, has served as a symbol of peace and prosperity in these turbulent times. Sent in by our reader Cory, we're impressed by the precision of carving as Mario's face is holding on by but a few thin strands of pumpkin tendon. Hit the jump for a bonus shot while I head to the patch to bastardize the great tradition of Kotaku pumpkin carving. More »

Mark Wilson — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 15:20:17 EDT

Are you all still fascinated with pumpkins? That's a pity. Pumpkins are so yesterday. The new trend? Gourds. Yup, gourds are where it's at. Specifically, gourds that resemble Pac-Man and said mythology. More »

Another Awesome Zelda Pumpkin

Mark Wilson — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 14:40:11 EDT

Our own Luke Plunkett will be so jealous when he sees that the day shift got to post this beautiful pumpkin of his beloved cel-shaded Link. There's something about combining the pure act of pumpkin carving with the innocent Zelda storyline that warms our hearts almost enough to see in color and believe in miracles. Almost. Reader Nick writes:

This is how my girlfriend and I started out the Halloween season, with two of our favorite characters Jack and Link.

Hit the jump for the slightly less game related but still amazing, Jack. More »

Space Invaders Immortalized In Pumpkin

Mark Wilson — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:40:02 EDT

By artist Jonathan H. Liu, this Space Invaders pumpkin has a protip built right in. He scraped away at the outside shell as opposed to cutting directly through it. This allowed him to keep the floating eyes on all four of the invaders, while subsequently making us fear ever setting knife to a pumpkin again. Hit the jump for not one, but two bonus shots of Liu's work. More »

Frodo from the Weekly Geek Show carved his a Katamari pumpkin, a Triforce pumpkin and what looks like Ken Kutaragi. Nice work, Frodo! Brian Ashcraft More »
