    are people kind of, chipping away at the inside flesh as opposed to cutting into the pumpkins to get these fantastic effects? i'm carving tonight, thinking of somthing simple, the half life one seems dooable yet still cool. #halloween

    The Borderlands one just goes to show you how video games can bring out ones creativity. If the media would just focus on that more and not the fact the guy who just shot a friend just happened to own a xbox 360 people wouldn't hate games as much. VERY well done! #halloween

    It took me a total of 11 hours spread across 2 days to create that borderlands pumpkin. I used pencil to freehand draw the image on the pumpkin skin, which didn't work too well. If you want to see more pictures of it being created and rotting (just in case you thought it wasn't real), please check out my picasa web album.

    Thanks for all the compliments :)

    WOW, the Borderlands one is amazing.

    Anyone could easily do a Lambda pumpkin but no one would get the reference. Hell if a trick-or-treater can name the game i'll give them a king-sized Reese's Peanut Butter cup.

    Oh, and If I didn't already own Orange Box on PC, I'd probably buy the complete pack... Oh, and if I had any money I wasn't saving toward moving out...

    I would scold you for forgetting the classic video, but I see it's already been posted. You're safe, sir.

    And now I can't make it go away. Whoops. Oh well, we can enjoy it a second time!

    Is Half-Life 2 Episode 3 yet? No? Maybe Half-Life 3 will come out before Episode 3.

    @Phydeaux: Surely you know to describe a game as arcade style generally means you're saying there's a sacrifice of realism for a more streamlined, fast-paced (and often immediately gratifying) experience?

    What I think this is, as opposed to any kind of profit, is an attempt to strengthen the online community of these games so the people that play them now will have a constant influx of new players instead of a game perhaps fading away.
