			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/10/26/zelda-link-and-triforce-pumpkins/" target="_blank">Fred Fisher</a> isn’t the only game-loving pumpkin carver out there that’s handy with an x-acto knife. Over on Deviant Art, user “ceemdee” posted a veritable cornucopia of video game art carved into pumpkins on her <a href="http://ceemdee.deviantart.com/gallery/#Pumpkin-Art" target="_blank">DA gallery</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-22031 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/earthworm_jim_pumpkin.jpg" alt="Earthworm Jim, Pumpkin-style" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>I kid you not when I say “cornucopia” – there are video game pumpkins a-plenty, and they range from the contemporary to the classic, including <em>Earthworm Jim</em>, <em>Shadow of the Colossus</em>, <em>Plants vs. Zombies</em>, and <em>Fallout’s</em> “Vault Boy.”</p>
<p>As with Fisher’s Zelda pumpkins, ceemdee’s pumpkin art rocks some serious intricacy and detail. When asked about her carving process, ceemdee told Kotaku in an email:</p>
<p>&#8220;Mainly I&#8217;ve used an x-acto knife and three tiny screwdrivers to do most of the carving. I used some wood carving tools to scrap out the bigger areas on a few of the pumpkins and a needle is used to trace the image. They were all carved in the last four weeks. It&#8217;s actually only four pumpkins (one a week) with three carvings on each. : )&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UTIII is one of the few console games out there that really lets gamers create their own unique maps. I don&#8217;t mean just moving a few things around like you can with Halo 3&#8217;s Forge mode. Nope, with the right tools, you can make your own completely custom environment, letting your imagination run wild. Take, for example, this great LEGO map that the guys over at <a href="http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/02/22/unreal-tournament-iii-gets-ps3-user-created-lego-mod/">PS3Fanboy</a> found.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/lego_unreal_3.jpg" alt="Lego Unreal Tournament III 3 Mod" /></p>
<p>Created by Unreal Tournament 3 mod-man <a href="http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=602931">Lord Simeon</a>, the map features a totally destructible LEGO block environment. The map features about 20 types of LEGO blocks (including those little yellow dudes), built into structures you can blow to smithereens, thanks to the game&#8217;s excellent physics model.</p>

<p>Remember when you were a kid and you&#8217;d build some awesome LEGO creation, then smash it into pieces? That&#8217;s what it reminds me of. You can grab the entire mod, packaged up for US or European consoles <a href="http://www.gameblews.com/?page_id=11303">here</a>.</p>
