We can identify with this particular pumpkin on so many levels. Just seeing our beloved companion cube fills us with joy, though it is quickly scooped out and replaced by guilt and the terrible imagery of our fiery betrayal. What have we done?

Actually, we challenged you to carve a magnificent jack-o'-lantern in the hopes of winning one of ten copies of Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles! You still have until Monday, so check out the rules and commence carving.

I believe that the Weighted Companion Cube has become one of the most famous video game characters of all time already.

My friend has a PS3 and will finally understand the Companion Cube on Dec. 11th... awesome! But too bad it won't be popular by then, sucker!

That carving is very original. It shows how far the Companion Cube has gotten so far. I can't wait to play Portal soon enough...

Also, in before Blast Processing Megadrive/BPM/other usernames I can't recall.

Is someone having problems when posting too? I posted a message just now and it didn't even show. Weird, but anyways...

That one was genius

Psaakyrn: Oct 26th 2007; 10:35PM

It doesn't help that it actually looks like a face. Any moment now it's going to start whispering murderous schemes...

Secura: Oct 26th 2007; 10:38PM

I did have a Chewbacca pumpkin, but it sort of rotted a couple weeks ago. I might be able to get a picture of it though....

Pumpkin Pie is the only thing that is better than cake.

Psaakyrn: Oct 26th 2007; 11:20PM

This is MADNESS!!

LAZoftheTamarinds: Oct 26th 2007; 10:59PM

Brilliant. Just brilliant. This companion cube has my vote so far!

Oh and at ^coolforever4537: Amen to that Brother!

I feel like Im watching the latest season of mythbusters here, with them reminding me every 10 seconeds that its up to me to tell them what I want to see done on the next episode lol.

I dont play portal so I dont get this pumpkin at all, but I liked some of the others. Are people tracing these with like a stencal or something or free carving them? Cause when I free carve the best I can do is a crooked smily face :?

Rubang B (NDF - Heart): Oct 26th 2007; 11:42PM

I didn't know they still made people who don't play Portal. Someone should fix that.

Psaakyrn: Oct 26th 2007; 11:47PM

a) Orange Box not released here yet.
b) Behind Uni Firewall, which means Steam doesn't work

I'm SOOOOO jealous. :x

Yubastard: Oct 26th 2007; 11:37PM

bah, you suck... "Void in Puerto Rico"...

nice pumpkin, anyways

The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you, and in fact cannot speak.
In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard it's advice.

Blast Processing Megadrive: Oct 27th 2007; 1:02AM

That pumpkin deserves to win all ten copies.

(and then plz send me one, k? ♥)

Robotkio: Oct 27th 2007; 4:17AM

As the creator of said Companion Pumpkin I'll answer some of the questions:

@gonk: Yep, they are toothpicks holding up the hearts. I was going to try and change the design so that I didn't have to use toothpicks because I think it's kind of cheating to use them. It ended up looking stupid without them, so they stuck. That or it could have looked like a regular Weighted Storage Cube... that was a joke, ha ha, fat chance.

@mike: I made my own stencil. It would have looked like absolute crap if I didn't. I'm not nearly as talented artistically if I don't have ctrl-z and photoshop. ;) The only down-side was trying to make a 2D stencil work on a spherical surface. If someone can tell me how or where I'll post the stencil I made.

The irony is that the WCC is burning in the pumpkin.

How sad, and beautiful.

SGT Grumbles: Oct 27th 2007; 1:54PM

Someone's been thinking with Portals.

Kye (NDF - Earth Ring): Oct 27th 2007; 5:05PM

Nice, don't get it but nice.

Here are some ideas for people:

Master Chief
Tetris
The Joystiq Logo
Mario on his kart
Link
Ken doing a flaming dragon punch

Ahh, western civilisation. Where its OK to waste food.

dannah: Oct 27th 2007; 7:58PM

the cake is a lie
the cake is a lie
the cake is a lie

We would have invited the weighted companion cube to the party, but you murdered it.
