Geeky Halloween Pumpkins

(Explanation for non-geeks: Little Big Planet is one of the most awesome and unique games to come out in the past few years. It’s also extraordinarily cute.)

(Explanation for non-geeks: When it first came out the XBox 360 had a very common manufacturing defect that caused a huge number of the machines to completely stop functioning The failure is indicated by three red lights known commonly as the “Red Ring of Death.”)
This comes on the heels of the site’s very-impressive list last year of

And a few geeky Jack-O-Lanterns that weren’t even made from pumpkins:
a pumpkin made of LEGO
Mac-O-Lanterns made from old Mac computers
