One Shots: I think I’m turning Japanese

I’ve got your picture of me and you
You wrote “I love you,” I love you too
I sit there staring and there’s nothing else to do

We’ve all been there when a “good” Japanese demon of legend has a legit crush on one of the leaders of the Illuminati. How else to express that unrequited love than with a commissioned painting and some headless mannequins?

“In honor of Secret World Legends’ Kristen Geary,” posted reader Koshelkin. This is exactly how court restraining orders get started.

Dang if Warframe doesn’t look so weird and cool at the same time. I still haven’t fully warmed up to the tenno suits, but it’s certainly a lot different than your standard sci-fi armor. Got that tinge of alien-ness to it. Here Kenji does a few sweet moves for your entertainment!

“Here I am goofing off in Second Life,” said Melissa.

A pose like this should be followed by a light show and then a startling transformation sequence into a super-powered cartoon hero. Also, the fish behind her gets co-starring credits.

“In Guild Wars 2’s livestream about mounts last Friday, they spoke about how their experiments with mounted combat felt too clunky, and that they didn’t want to overlap it too much with normal combat and its elite specs,” said Miol. “Yet they couldn’t help themselves to tease us since the first expansion with concept art depictions, cutscenes, and these mounted and spear throwing Mordrems!”

Camelotcrusade complains about a hated character in SWTOR: “Ugh, I know I’m going to egret re-posting this NPC. Just seeing him makes me think a fowl plot is afoot, and him holding a computer is a tern for the worse. I hope there isn’t another one around the corner, or this won’t be pheasant. Then we’ll have two birds stoned at once (or whatever tweaks your beak, as they say). Sorry for grousing, I’m just not used to this kind of tweetment. Owl see you later.”

We all know MMORPGs aren’t entirely divorced from real world influences, and in many cases thrive on those connections. For this week’s screenshot challenge, share a picture of a location or NPC that is a clear reference to a real-world country or culture.

Every week, One Shots shines a spotlight on the best community screenshots from your MMO adventures. If you have a great pic to share, email it to justin@massivelyop.com with the subject “One Shots.” Make sure that the picture is over 880px wide and comes with a description or story!
