One Shots: Blown away by a kiss

    
27

First of all, thank you to everyone who heeded the call for more screenshot submissions! I know you all love sharing those in the comments (which is more than fine!) but any sent in via email are deeply appreciated and useful for future columns.

Today’s headlining pic is from reader Whiteberry, who sends in this picture of her Landmark toon blowing us an enthusiastic kiss. “Crashing with a colony ship in the desert on this island apparent, it was a relief to find breathable air, edible vegetation, materials to build with, and a beautiful scenery, and this shows my happiness in the moonlight,” she writes. “I wonder what day will bring!”

Personally, I wonder what the rest of today’s entries will bring!

 

 

 

Reader Matt has a rather somber tale to share for this next picture:

“The other day I hopped in to Guild Wars 2 and saw a mass of people marching along while in Lion’s Arch. Curious, I decided to tag along and see what it was all about. Turns out it was a memorial march ending with a memorial service for a member of the guild [CoRC] who had passed away recently.

“Everyone circled up and took a knee while people who knew the person who had passed spoke briefly about the memories they shared with her. Anyway, it was a really emotional experience. Not only because someone had recently passed and that loss had affected the guild in a big way, but because of all the other people (including me) not affiliated with the guild marching along in support. It was truly an experience. I just wanted to share a screen I took of the event.”

It’s always interesting when you guys send me in a whole bunch of pictures and invite me to pick my favorite. Reader Jon did just that for his return to RIFT, and out of the five screenshots I ended up selecting this mushroom-festooned waterfall. It wasn’t as action-packed as the others, but there was a sort of pristine beauty about it that I liked.

I might not be in love with RIFT’s armor models, but I do think that parts of the world are quite gorgeous. This reminds me why.

 

Ralph the Wonder Llama continues to submit entertaining pictures and stories, including this example of TERA’s hellish creations.

“So the story is that Arun and Shara lay down and dreamed the land of TERA into existence,” Ralph writes. “Clearly someone’s having nightmares. In the land of Poporia, a magical plague is slowly leeching the life from the land and corrupting its inhabitants. Twisted, demonic creatures can be seen roaming the countryside. Sounds scary, right? Well check this out!”

Speaking of tough choices, there were so many terrific entries in the comments a couple of weeks ago that it was almost impossible to choose just one for It Came from the Comments! However, reader JonBuck’s snap of “Green Mage’s first flight in City of Heroes” was inspiring on a few levels. Maybe I’m just a sucker for screenies from that game.

Hey you! Do you need a screenshot challenge? Of course you do, don’t be silly! This week, take a picture of your favorite NPC race and let us know what you dig about these people!
