As we gather together to appreciate this gallery of video game art captured by our auteurs, we can be assured that there is absolutely nothing off-color or inappropriate said about our first shot. Sometimes, two cat-dudes talking about a banana in Final Fantasy XIV is simply two cat-dudes getting a potassium fix. Nothing more, nothing less.
Vincent said, well, I won’t share what he said. But I assure you that it was on the up-and-up and completely fit for young ears. Probably something about being part of a nutritious breakfast.
Katriana brings us some more Guild Wars 2 story beats, saying, “Haven’t been screenshotting (or playing) a whole lot in recent weeks, but did get this nice shot of Waiting Sorrow and Poised Arrow looking somewhat solemn at the end of the currently released story in Janthir Wilds.”
“Here I am at the governor office in Pirates of the Burning Sea while the guard salutes no one,” said Minimalistway. “I love the general vibe of this game, clearly the developer paid attention to some small details such people talking or singing or playing music, doing stuff, walking around. I’ve played my share of dead MMOs where the NPCs stand there doing nothing.”
Chris impressed us all with this pic: “I’ve been getting back in to tanking quite a bit recently in Final Fantasy XIV, and two times now I’ve been the sole survivor of one specific dungeon boss fight. This is a snapshot of that solo battle from my husband Welsh_Fox he took as I was trying to save the run.”
And in Lord of the Rings Online, my Mariner’s been adventuring through Moria and challenging every single Orc in the place to a one-on-one duel. Satisfaction will be had, sir!
All right you layabouts, get off your chaise lounge and start screenshotting like there’s no tomorrow in your MMOs! Because one day, screenshots will be all that you’ll have left. Well, that and the rash. I’m not sure how you got a rash from playing that game, but you did a number on yourself. Anyway, screenshots!
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!
