You might think you’re having a bad week. You would be wrong. A bad week is getting podded in the void of space as part of a mere interstellar mugging.
“In EVE Online, I got myself stranded in wormhole space after accidentally logging out for the night before I put my exploration probes back in the ship,” Agemyth explained. “Being a solo capsuleer, the only way out would have been to rely on the kindness of strangers, but in wormholes it is very difficult to get anyone to speak at all, much less lend a helping hand. I decided to write my tale in some death notes and jettison them and my phat lewt with it worth a whole seven million ISK. No idea if/when someone will find that, but I like the idea that it might take some time.”
At least you wore underwear when you died! That’s got to count for something.
Merryrose Morningsong sent in this Lord of the Rings Online pic in response to my screenshot challenge to “look up.”
“Some time ago, I enjoyed questing in Fangorn Forest,” Merryrose wrote, “but was so caught up in the story that I forget to take any pics. So when I was in Wildermore gathering together the Ents, I made sure to take the time to make a memory. My hobbit finally succeeded after several attempts and earned a kink in her neck for it. I think this qualifies for ‘looking up.'”
How quick are you on the ol’ print screen button? I’ve never been fast enough on the draw to get the beautiful lightning bolts that occasionally pop up in World of Warcraft’s Stormheim. Fortunately for all of us, DigitalQ is, ahem, lightning-quick.
I never felt that WildStar was a game for subtleties. On the contrary, being large, loud, and colorful seems the way to go in this game. Need an example? Ausj3w3l posted this shot of what she calls her “FIRE ZE LAZERSSSsss pose.”
Let’s end with a holiday shot! But not from this month’s festivals, oh no. Dajhryne takes us back to Halloween with this supermoon shot of Stonehenge because why not!
“The Secret World has an incredible ‘look up’ moment in the last mission of Issue 9, but screenshots don’t really do it justice and I don’t want to spoil it either.”
Speaking of holidays, we’re in the thick of a billion festivals, celebrations, and other in-game events right now, so why not take a picture of the most exciting or zany to share with the rest of the class?
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!
