As we cruise into this week’s One Shots exhibition, Scott brings up a good point about the weirdness of jumping into the seat of a giant mech in FFXIV: “Ah, it seems like only two months ago that I was hunting Level 1 Ladybugs in the Black Shroud — wait, it WAS only two months ago! How the heck am I qualified to pilot a huge anime mecha?”
While he pondered this, several villages and a couple herds of adorable sheep were stomped flat by the clumsy feet of a game world that doesn’t regulate its vehicle operation.
“I wasn’t planning on taking any screenshots this week, but Lord of the Rings Online’s day/night cycle is lengthy enough that when you happen to be running towards both the sunset and Weathertop, you’re dang well gonna take a shot,” said Hirku Two. “And you’re gonna wait as long as it takes for your pet rabbit to perk up her ears, too!”
All the land the sun touches, Simba-bunny, will one day be yours.
Meanwhile in Guild Wars 2, someone is mocking the gods — and Katriana is on the scene.
“I did get this shot of some god statues in Amnoon, one of which is a fearsome looking god with a trio of wolves around his waist, a necklace of skulls at his throat, a massive greatsword… and a basket with crazy eyes drawn on it over his head.”
Hurbster smacked around a big ol’ doggy in FFXIV but then took a break: “First Primal down, I would do the others, but fishing and mining and picking flowers and stuff get in the way.”
And I’ve got my own Fallout 76 shot to share, as I took this pic of a nuclear blast rising above a mountain ridge. Duck and cover, anyone? Probably too late at this point.
