It’s Halloween and its an awesome time for geeks gamers and otaku, we get to go all out with our friends, dressing up as obscure characters, going to parties and maybe even getting so intoxicated Mario Party starts to seem like a challenge. But not all of us are so lucky. For the lonely guy (or girl), Halloween can be an unpleasant experience. For you, lonely brother, there’s at least 5 things I can think up that would make your crippling loneliness more bearable today.

You read that right, GameTrailers TV reports that upon completion of the single-player campaign of CoD: WaW, an extra mode will be unlocked where the player is locked in a base with a limited amount of weapons, armor, and barricades to stop a never-ending rush of zombified SS soldiers.

There is no story behind NAZI ZOMBIES, and seriously, it doesn’t need one. There’s no word on whether co-op will work in NAZI ZOMBIE MODE so far. The amount of weapons, armor, ammunition, barricading equipment, etc. are handled by an “economy system”, the details of which are unspecified but probably similar to that of other FPS games where the most picked weapons become more expensive forcing you to choose less conventional ones. Either way, enjoyment of killing a NAZI ZOMBIE is not dependant on the method of execution.

Too long, didn’t read?

NAZI ZOMBIES.

When video game characters enter the mainstream culture they are usually revered by all and pop culture embraces them. They become icons, they become gods! Oh wait, that’s only if they are male characters. Female characters get turned into horrible Halloween costumes, such as this Juna outfit which isn’t much of an offence in the resemblance, its a nicely made costume but its such a blatant rip-off! And to add insult to injury the model looks like a whore, you can even see her nipples with that blouse. With no offense to whores out there but if you are peddling video game costumes the very least you can do is have a sexy geeky girl do the part. I know a good amount (you know who you are) and any of them would have been a thousand times better.

Then again, can I really complain? This 3wishes we are talking about, the company that made the infamous Peach costume, a pac-man bra and even turned a bee into a slutty outfit. Oh yeah, and did I mention they also did Chun Li? Oh sorry, Kung Fu Cutie they call it.

Picture this: you’re all prepared for Halloween. All the decorations of your humble abode are accounted for, with one sole exception: your precious “Blu-Ray Player” Playstation 3! What is a gamer to do?! Fear not, as a few band of people come up with the Sony PS3 Protective Mask Scream Style. Apparently, this 3D PS3 skin, which is attached to the top of the machine, helps prevent dust. The dustbunnies would probably be scared shitless, no doubt. Right now, there are some auctions at Ebay selling this apparatus for $15.

Technorati : 3d skin, halloween, ps3, zoinks!

This past month, Newgrounds had some Art contest involving Videogames and Halloween, and I think it went really well. There was a lot of variety in the submittions, the 1st prize winners (because the contest was so full of great art) being a Zombie Pikachu by “Deks” and a Zombie Mario by “Steve-M”.

My personal favorite? Maybe this Yoshi.

Some great art by the Newgrounds Members! Be sure to check the forum for all entries!
