One Shots: Threat Level Midnight

Even in the far future, Starfleet officers still pose for a selfie or two. How could they not when they encounter such striking backdrops?

“This is a shot from Star Trek Online’s new featured episode ‘Midnight’ where players go back in time 200,000 years in the past to visit Iconia, the home world of the galaxy’s (current) biggest enemy,” explains Cookiecupcakes of Priority One Podcast. “The Iconians at that time were peaceful, intelligent, and a lot more likable than they are in the present, so it’s kind of difficult to kill them all off (which was supposed to be the original mission, but I didn’t end up doing it because I fell in love with them! They are so cute!) Anyways, this is my toon @cookiecupcakes exploring the amazingly beautiful Iconian home world before it was destroyed.”

Anyone miss the days when it was just the Klingons that struck fear into our hearts?

Next up is reader Boom, who can’t resist showing off his Draken Warrior “Razor Rango” in WildStar. From my experience, the Draken are not known to be a subtle people. More like literal party animals. Dance on, you crazy Rango!

 

The following screenshot might amaze you when you discover that all of the hieroglyphics on the walls here are a super-secret quest that, when solved, will win the game for you. Oh, I’m just making that up, but The Secret World players wouldn’t be surprised if Funcom went to that level of detail!

“Venturing into the ruins of ancient Egypt, my cat warns me of a malignant presence ahead. What could it be?” asks reader Noel. Considering that you’re reading this post, I’m guessing that the evil being is right over your shoulder. Look out!

Reader Jaxon is learning a new move or two from Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns. He’s especially pleased with his new elite spec: “Here is my Dragonhunter from the beta weekend looking for more unsuspecting players to snipe with my new longbow skills.”

And who says that video games promote violence?

For our It Came from the Comments! winner this week, I’m going with krazy_wabbit’s lovely Elder Scrolls Online tableau.

“This week I have finished ESO’s main story and now moved onto the Dominion side with my nightblade, Jorshan,” krazy_wabbit wrote. “So it is another week of tourist screenshots and I am a sucker for sunrise, sunset, and anything dealing light shining through stuff, tree, strain glass windows, etc.”

Tails. Got some screenshots with them? Send them in, whether they be pets, mounts, or players. Who’s sporting a luxurious tail in your screenshot library?
