Has had a lifelong fascination for pill-bugs, thereby explaining her penchant for wearing all black, and living in dark cool places. She also shows a marked tendency for being able to roll herself up into a very small ball, although is not so successful at rolling away when threatened.

Those in the past - or in strange fantasy lands - used this time of year to finish harvesting and laying in stores for the winter to come. For those of us who game in fantasy worlds, it's a great time to look back and reflect on the things that we may have achieved earlier this year instead! One such example is this incredibly picturesque image that comes to us from
Yavvy, who captured this during a live event in
Warhammer Online earlier this year. (Admittedly, a land more about conquering than harvesting, but still.) Yavvy writes in:
Catching a ride with the great eagles in Hunter's Vale, the dungeon for the Wild Hunt live event.
Have you captured a great image from an in-world event? If so, we'd love to see what you've been up to. Just email it in to us here at
oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. We'll post it out here and give you the nod.

Wake up, grab a quick bite of something that isn't too tainted, clean up a bit, toss on your gear and ride. It's another day in the post-apocalyptic world of
Fallen Earth, where players have to work hard to survive. You can scavenge and find items to create things you need or want, trade others for things you've made, fight for whatever cause your character feels is right, or so much more. Today's great
Fallen Earth screenshot comes to us from Shrike Song of
The Older Gamers clan (or TOG as they're known) who writes in:
My junkyard scavenger Shrike Song looking for the scrap lottery in every junk pile and scrapped car she can find. With the ruins of freeway overpasses in the background and a rusted T bird as a resting and scouting perch, no wonder that scavengers like her love their trusty horses so much. Hopefully that car netted you a bunch of fasteners!
Are you playing a niche game that you love and want to show off to the world? If so, why not take a moment and send us your image and thoughts! We'll be glad to post them. Email it to
oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. We'll post it out here and give you the credit for sending it in.

With Halloween now giving way to Thanksgiving next week in the United States, we figured it was a great time to show this one last Halloween image we recieved from
Guild Wars.
Thorband caught this image of his character howling at the lunatic moon during the recent Mad King celebration. The other thing we really dig about this image is the lovely fall colors, like those of a roasting turkey -- and of course, tasty pumpkin pie. Mmm, pie.
We love holidays in MMOs almost as much as we love pie -- maybe even more, depending on the game! So if you have a chance to grab some holiday celebration screenshots while you're out and about, please send some our way! We love to see what's up in the different worlds out there. All you have to do is email them to us at
oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. We'll post them out here and give you the love.

Know how we know you guys like
Dungeons and Dragons Online? You picked it as the
current adventure for our very own Shawn Schuster! He's currently working his way through the lands of
Dungeons and Dragons Online, to both enlighten and amuse. Of course, if you just want regular everyday amusement,
One Shots is glad to step in when players send us funny images -- like this one from Inspecta! He writes in to give us a visual pun:
[This is] a screen shot of my friends and I hangin' around the marketplace in DDO. You can almost hear the drum/cymbal on that punch line, can't you?
Have you figured out a way to create your very own visual pun in your favorite game? Think you've got a groaner you'd like to unleash on the world? Don't be shy! Send those funny screenshots in to us here at
oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. We'll post it out here and let everyone in on the joke.

One of the things that
EVE Online has managed to do since its early days is inspire an incredibly loyal, devoted fanbase. They travel around the world to attend the Fan Fest in Iceland, they write fiction about the game, and of course - they send in crazy excellent
EVE Online One Shots for us to enjoy! Today's great screen comes to us from
Hetler R. who opted to add his note in a more poetic form. He writes in:
The grid is clean.
The dust will settle.
To infinity as they might seem,
Echoes in the distance rattle.
Beware of smite;
Beware of terror;
For wrecks in the sundance gleam.
Beware!
Because in space...
No one can hear you scream.
Do you have a game that inspires you to write poems, haiku, or even the occasional (very short) story? Would you like to share it with the world? If so, grab a great screenshot that supports what you've written and then send it our way at
oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, and the name of the game. We'll post it out here for everyone to enjoy and give you the credit!

For some of us, there's nothing quite as good as getting some gaming time in, save perhaps cracking open a good book. Sometimes you can even get a good book in
while getting some MMO time. When you add in being in the lovely lands of
Aion, that's a pretty solid combination -- or at least a pretty one as today's
One Shots shows! This great picture comes to us from Steffan A. who writes in:
I started a new character on Triniel, and I was wandering through Munihele Forest when I just had to stop and take a screenshot. Aion is one of the best looking MMORPG's I have ever played, and I think I'll be staying for awhile.For some, it's all about the beauty. For others, it's all about the play. Others still prefer a bit of both! We'd love to see screens of your favorite MMO, if you'd like to send 'em on in. Just email them to
oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a quick description. We'll do the rest. Easy, no?

With all the new games coming out recently, it's nice to see someone taking on some of the older titles with fresh eyes and seeing what's going on out there. Take, for example, this great
Star Wars Galaxies image that our friend
Petter M. sent in from
his recent travels. He writes in:
I'm currently doing some "research" into Star Wars: Galaxies to find out if it deserves its bad reputation. I'm enjoying it so far, exploring and questing my way across Tatooine. At first the planet seems pretty much barren, but there are a lot of things to see hidden away in the desert - all the player houses and cities, if nothing else. Here's a screenshot from a calm oasis which has been affected by the light side of the Force, where I ended up as a part of a Jedi-quest.Have you been exploring parts of your favorite game that we haven't seen here? All games are welcome, all images too! Send us combat, group posed shots, landscapes, you name it, to
oneshots AT massively DOT com. Some information like your name, guild, server, and a description of what's going on in the screenshot is awesome too. We'll post it up here and give you credit.

Are your poor feet sore from running around
Fallen Earth's enormous post-apocalyptic Grand Canyon? Sick of getting chomped on by mutated chickens? Just want to check out the latest and greatest when it comes to kludged-together vehicles -- or perhaps show off your own? Then get your convoy rolling for Spider Hill in the northern part of Sector 1 at 3 PM Eastern today! That's the site of the huge Car Show, being put on by Saints Incorporated and The Shop.
Aside from seeing all the latest in
Fallen Earth automotive awesomeness, players who stop by will be treated to giveaways, a wasteland drag show, and heavens knows what else.
Post Apoc Radio will also be on the scene to play some rockin' music and provide colorful RP commentary (as always). So gather up the whole clan and come by the Car show -- make valuable crafting friends, or pick up some excellent prizes!

Once again, the weekend is here. Perfect for relaxing over a cheery... zombie fire? It appears that most of the team here at Massively are splitting time between their regularly scheduled MMOs and the slew of new titles that have come out recently. With great titles like
Torchlight,
Dragon Age Origins, and the tasty
Left 4 Dead 2 demo
, can you blame us? Rest assured we're still getting our full helping of MMOs in the mix so we can grow up big and strong. If you're curious just who is up to what this weekend, join us behind the break for a little
WRUP - and be sure to leave your own list in the comments!

While we knew
Lord of the Rings Online had player housing, we never quite expected it to be so
small. We're kidding, of course! This great image is actually of a cute little sandcastle easter egg that was discovered by the adventurous Warden, Elizibeth Hathaway. Here's the note we got in to go with this image for those who may want to try to find this
Lord of the Rings Online location as well.
My level 37 Warden was wandering around Annuminas looking for the Blue Lady when she happened upon this little island- and found a pristine little sand castle!Have you found something adorably cute in your favorite MMO? We love easter eggs, personally. Whatever your reason, we want your screenshots! Just email them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, a brief description, and the game they're from. We'll take care of the rest!
