It’s time to announce the winners of the Broctober Video Contest! We had such a hard time picking between the great entries we received. Here are your winners:

1st Place: Broccoli vs Wraith
by Girlbrush

We just couldn’t stop laughing at the expressions on Broccoli’s face! Oooo nutritious!

2nd Place: Broccoli vs Stormreach HQ
by Korin Geholtz

We provided the assets packet for contestants, but this entry took the Broccoli to a whole new dimension… the 3rd dimension!

3rd Place: Broccoli vs Ham
by Zac C.B / Sioyin Chua

It wouldn’t be Broctober without a reference to the eternal food fight that the Tasty Ham and Broccoli have been waging. Honorable mention to another entry by the same contestant where Broccoli is pitted against the Stormreach Hirelings!

Congratulations to our contest winners! They’ll be receiving Turbine Points as well as custom forum titles for their winning entries! You can see all the great contestants video reponses by visiting the official Broccoli vs Beholder video on YouTube! (and don’t forget to laugh at Tarrant and Marketroid for their halloween live-action Broccoli!).

The Broccoli is most impressed with the artistic talents of DDO players. Now it’s time to see who can take it to the next level… who can present the best “Broccoli vs.” video! You could win one of the following prizes:

• 1st Place – 5,000 Turbine Points and forum title “Gweater Dwagonmark of Fwiends”
• 2nd Place – 2,000 Turbine Points and forum title “Dwagonmark of Fwiends”
• 3rd Place – 1.000 Turbine Points and forum title “Dwagonmark of Fwiends”
