Massively Overpowered

Welcome back to One Shots, Massively OP's weekly salute to excellent and interesting player screenshots! It feels good to be in our new home and able to post larger pics. When we sounded the evacuation alarm from Massively, I forgot to rescue the remainder player screenshots from our One Shots email account. Fortunately, our EIC Bree was of a much...

In the northern parts of the US, we are currently in the grips of a particularly brutal winter. Snow, ice, frostbite, polar bear attacks, and tauntings by the seasonally superior Canadian military are all a part of life these days. And as much as I'm not a fan of continually shoveling my driveway, I have to say that I...

Planning a trip to Iceland for this year's EVE Online Fanfest? If so you'll probably want to look at CCP's latest blog post, which focuses on what there is to see and do when you're not watching panels or consuming vast quantities of alcohol. One of the main events is Worlds Collide, a PvP contest that pits pilots from EVE's original server,...

It does seem as though any popular superhero will inevitably drum up a bunch of me-too imitators, from Batgirl to Wonder Dude (who totally doesn't exist but should). So if you have a penchant for the Spider-Man family but would like a female version to tag along with you, then Marvel Heroes has a new Arachne team-up available for...

It's been quite a week! And not just for Massively Overpowered. Right as our original site was sunsetting, SOE announced that it was bought out and would be doing business under the new moniker Daybreak Games Company. Talk about shaking things up!

Just because the world is being taken over by secret cabals and an unstoppable wave of filth from the outer darkness doesn't mean that there's no time for love! Just keep telling yourself that as you participate in The Secret World's romantic event going on right now in the game. For this year's Valentine's Day event, players can purchase Bags...

Star Citizen chairman Chris Roberts has posted a blurb outlining a new system called Rental Equipment Credits that is coming to Arena Commander's 1.1 patch. In a nutshell, REC will enable a form of progression so that backers can test all of the game's ships without pledging additional money. Roberts says that REC or something like it has always been...

More assurances are coming your way from Daybreak Games, this time from reps of each of the studio's games. "Absolutely nothing" has changed, according to a Greg "SOELegion" Henninger post on the H1Z1 forums. "We're properly staffed to move forward with our current development strategy. We'll continue to be a transparent development team and we'll continue on our promise and...

It feels so great to be back. Plus I get to introduce some new folks to you. Former Massively columnist Tina Lauro has returned to helm more columns, and we've brought on Rhys Yorke to handle all the things no one else understands. Fresh meat! What MMOs are you lovely readers playing this weekend? We'll show you our WRUPs if...

You know, folks, I am all about getting my dungeon ride on in Final Fantasy XIV. I'm a roleplayer, to boot. I like being social in my games. And yet when I find myself playing World of Warcraft, I find myself actively preferring a bit of solitude far more often than I'd expect. This isn't meant as a commentary on...
