Hey I found these over on digg, just in time for Halloween. I picked out the best one but more can be found here. (http://blog.jjgames.com/2008/10/best-video-game-pumpkins-jack-o.html) Okami is probably my personal favorite, one of the most underrated yet amazing Wii games.

Some of those are amazing (and way too intricate).

My favorite is the mortal kombat, but look at all the detail on the WoW one. It looks like the guy who made that one has way too much time on his hands.

I think that's basically a requirement before you start playing that game...

Yeah I saw a bunch of Xbox 360 ones and decided to make one (the 360 jewel... basically an "X") because it seemed simple enough... just a sec theres a picture:

Lol,PhotoShop?

umm, that's clearly just an example. They have the templates over at xbox.com for free: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/community/events/trixandtreats/1022-pumpkins.htm

I'm aware of that, but they're such obvious PhotoShops.

yeah... but you can get a pretty sweet look if you actually use glow sticks. and it keeps the pumpkins alive much long-gger

I know. But it's not just the color that's the obvious part.

no i know. the designs look flat.... and pumpkins are, obviously, not.

Ganye

That and the image doesn't blend into the pumpkin like in normal Jack 'o' Lanterns.

I haz confession, I've been playing WoW to pass the time that I don't have a 360 because my brother-in-law and my sister play and it's a pretty good place to go and catch up on some events that I've missed and get my sister to realize how much lag sucks (she was the one causing most of my lag issues when she was at home).

But, I might be getting my 360 replaced over this weekend (Yay!) so I'll be drawn away from that into the dark, sad world of map building without Far Cry 2.

Jooooooin uuuuusssss. Joooooooin uuuuuusssss. WoW will take you over soon enough.

WoW will take you over soon enough.Only reason that I can see that happening is if I get involved in another sweet community, but trying to see how many of the "cool-kids" would be interested in joining this site, too.

Before I get this anymore off-topic, I think that it's insane what you can do with too much time and a knife... ;)
