One Shots: Good catch

Filed under: Fantasy, Screenshots, Aion, One Shots


While it's all very well and good to have nice graphics, one of the things we've noticed about the games that seem to do best is that they don't take themselves too seriously. Pop-culture references, silly asides, or just things that make us laugh serve to endear games to us. Today, we have a fairly silly thing that Seagull of the Ariel server in Aion noticed while getting some game time in. We'll let him explain: Idle animations in [Aion] are great. I was standing in a pool of water, and my avatar attempted to catch nearby fish with his bare hands. After succeeding, the fish is playfully thrown back into the water. (Insert token mining for fish joke here.)

If you've run across something strange or funny while you're out adventuring, we'd love to learn about it. Just send a screenshot of it to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. Please try to make sure your images are at least 1024px wide and have as few UI elements as is possible. We'll post them out here and give you the credit for pointing that amusing bit out to us!
