Attention beings of the mortal realm! It's time for the somewhat annu-Hell Digital Press Retrogaming Roundtable jack-o-lantern showcase... OF DOOM!
We've got six categories for this year which means we could have six winners! All entries are required to be video-game-themed. Everyone is allowed only one entry per category, but you can enter everyone of the categories. Therefore if you wanted, you could enter six times this way!
The six categories are:
===
Hand-carved Division
---
Silly
Scary
Something Else
Power-tool-carved Division
---
Silly
Scary
Something Else
Hand-carved entries must use just regular kitchen knives, spikes, other hand-tools, and possibly a paper template. Those which are carved with more advanced tools such as drills, Dremels, CAD, and other aids including power tools go into the power-tool-carved categories. And "Something Else" is our category for miscellany of course.
You have until 1:00 A.M. Pacific Time (the witching hour!) on November 7th to get your entries into the competition. Please attach your photos directly to the message board in JPEG or PNG file format. Clearly mark which of the six categories into which you are entering your jack-o-lanterns. If anyone submits multiple entries for the same category, then only his/her first entry for the category will be counted.
Voting on the entries will begin immediately afterward on November 7th, and the voting will end at 11 P.M. Pacific Time on November 8th. Votes go into this thread - just make a post with your votes for each category. Winners will be announced on November 9th or 10th.
What will the prizes be? For our glorious winners, Steam codes for digital copies of games will be distributed. Naturally, if you don't want any of them, it is acceptable to pass on the prizes... but you will still be crowned our supernatural winners!
Now make haste! Quickly with you now! Away to toil in labor! The hours grow short and time waits for no man. Carve, carve, and create many a simulacra for our macabre festival of bizarre merriment! Hoist your deformed gourds in front of the capturer of light to show your grizzly deeds to all!
tl;dr: Carve some pumpkins, take some photos, post pics or it didn't happen. You got until Sep. 7. :-P
