Blizzard Pumpkin-Carving contest - Image 1


Blizzard is announcing that as part of the preparations for Halloween, they are now accepting submissions for their annual Pumpkin-Carving Contest. The said event invites contestants to submit pictures of pumpkin carvings based on Blizzard games like World of Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo.

The 10 winners for this event will each receive a pair of Logitech 51 Surround Sound Speaker Systems. Before you get bust out the carving knife, here are some extra contest reminders:
  • Most of all, your pumpkins should be original. If they feature original art, even better.
  • Your pumpkin must be lit up in the photo. You can show another photo of the pumpkin unlit.
  • The pumpkin must be related to one of the Blizzard game universes - Diablo, StarCraft, Warcraft, etc.
  • Make sure to send in high quality pictures. Try to take the best picture possible. You might have to read up on how to take night pictures.
  • Make sure you tell us what the pumpkin is supposed to be in the caption, just in case it's not clear
  • We love humor, and it's always good if you can tie that into your pumpkin
Those interested in submitting their best works have until Monday, October 29, (12:00 a.m. PDT) to do so. Now, if you've got your carving all ready for the competition, you can submit it to Blizzard's judges via the Read link we've provided below.

Logitech G15 - Image 1The advent of the Logitech G15 keyboard can be considered an innovation to the gaming industry. This nifty gadget can be programmed to do things while away from the keyboard, thus presenting a big advantage to gamers who own the G15. The question: is the use of the Logitech G15 allowed in Blizzard's World of Warcraft? The answer: both yes and no.

The use of the keyboard is okay per se, however if the G15 is programmed to do stuff while the player is away, then that's where accounts get bannable. The key word, according to a blue post in the WoW forums, is "unattended".

A blue post by Issuntril illustrates the point well:

Indeed, the key word is "Unattended".


While I can certainly see the advantage of say, been able to create large amounts of water while away from your keyboard, this is still classed as automated play, and as such is against the Terms of Use.


In short, the keyboard should not be used to perform any action which a player cannot perform himself in-game using the regular macro interfaces. Obviously there is no in-game function which would allow you to cast multiple spells in the way you have specified, meaning it is not allowed with the keyboard.


So well, there you have it. Part of Logitech G15's tagline is The Logitech® G15 gives you a winning advantage, and everyone knows it’s more fun when you win, but players should take note that too much advantage just gives you the banhammer instead.
