the fun side

a little blog about video games and art.

So yesterday was the annual re-opening of one of my favorite little virtual spooky season traditions:

A display at the front of town of random pumpkins that have already been carved this year.  They sit upon little Corinthian-style columns, underneath a wooden roof.

The Ghost Town Pumpkin Festival!

It's a little virtual ghost town where the main attraction is carving pumpkins! As far as I know, you can carve as many as you want and place them around the town and see other people's pumpkins. You can also bump into anyone else currently active on the server as ghosts and play little games together, go on the haunted hay ride, solve the haunted maze, and take pictures!

On the roof of the tower at the end of the maze, a ghost stares suspiciously at another with it's tongue sticking out.Four ghosts huddled together for a selfie on the roof of the maze.

Me and my friends gathering to take a quick selfie at the top of the tower at the end of the maze during last year's festival.
It's honestly a very cute and wholesome little tradition that's pretty near and dear to my heart, and people make some pretty amazing pumpkins!! Anyways, if you're bored and have a few minutes to spare, I'd highly suggest checking it out and maybe even bringing along a couple friends. :)

The pumpkin festival is open until some time in November, so check it out while you can!

A skeleton sits in a relaxed position in a coffin in a dark corner of town next to a radio tower. It's illuminated by the light of a tv sitting across form it on a little table. There are already a few carved pumpkins scattered around.
