A little two-fer of lingering Halloween fun...

First up is the winner of the Capcom pumpkin-carving contest (our Mega Man pumpkin came in 3rd), which stole the show with its outstanding lighting effects.  You've got Dark Void's Will (in helmet) up front, and the illuminificated DV logo shining out the back.

It was just plain purdy, and carved by Brian, the easily-found Waldo pictured on the right. 

Next is one of our favorite Capcom costumes this year.  It didn't make it into our costume contest, but in truth, this is less a costume than a lifestyle, and... wow.  Just wow:

--Crazy beard and mohawk?  Check. 

--Banana-hammock?  Check. 

--Bear-wrestling scars?  Check. 

--Appropriately shaved chest-hair?  Double-check. 

In short, some of the finest, most terrifying Zangief cosplay on record. Thanks to Shana and Danny for the pix!

We've talked a lot about the cool things you can do in Dark Void, like approaching combat any way you feel like since you have a jetpack at your disposal to fly at any time. But something we haven't touched on too much are the weapons. It just wouldn't be as cool if the guns weren't completely badass. And, as Dark Void's producer has said, there's no chicken guns in the world of Dark Void.

Take a look at all the concept art of the guns you'll have at your disposal to shoot, electrocute, explodify, and otherwise turn your enemies into gooey swiss cheese. You can see it all right here. 

Newsflash from Dark Void-land: 

We scored tickets to the highly coveted Jay-Z concert, featuring N.E.R.D., Wale and J. Cole, at Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus for this Sunday November 8, 2009, beginning at 6:30PM. So, what does this mean for the Dark Void Community? Well, we're offering this pair to one lucky Community member!

Head here for full details.  Winning the tix is as easy as following Dark Void on twitter.  Head here for full details, good luck, and color me jealous.  I haven't been to a Jay-Z concert since the previous... unpleasantness.

Over at the Dark Void site, a new dev diary has arrived in fancy new motion-picture format.  From Morgan Gray to Inafune-san, the whole DV crew shows up with plenty of sexy blue backlighting:

The third installment in the Developer Video Diary series is here to take you deeper into The Void with exclusive insight from the crew at Capcom and Airtight Games.

Dev Video Diary #3 deals exclusively with the game's character development and how the developers wanted to provide rich, complicated back-stories in order to complement the overall storyline. Really interesting stuff ... check out the video below and get the full dish on Will, Ava, and Tesla
