Today's One Shots comes to us courtesy of a person that many Second Life folks know and love -- Torley! Originally he contacted us to tell us he really enjoyed looking at the One Shots gallery, but he also linked in his own awesome gallery of panoramic Second Life shots in the mail. We couldn't resist featuring some of his gorgeous panoramic screenshots here! Of this one (which you really should see full-size to appreciate) Torley said, "Bruce Patton is so nice, he came up with this project and... it made a dream of Philip's come true in Second Life -- golf!"

Do you have some great panoramic screenshots that you made from your favorite game or virtual world? Perhaps you caught a fantastic sunset that just made everything look fantastic. Whatever your story or screen, we want to see them! Send them to us here at oneshots AT massively.com, along with whatever information you'd like to give us about them.

As mentioned the other day, we recieved several fantastic One Shots panoramas from Adrian (aka Asarja) from Guild Wars. Today's screenshot is from Nightfall, although we know very little else of this particular area. If you like looking at lovely scenic shots, you should definitely check out the full-size image. And if you can tell us anything about this area, please be sure to leave a comment!

Do you like to combine lots of different screens into panoramas? Maybe you're a game or content designer who is particularly proud of a specific area that you designed and you'd like to give us back-story on it. (Hey, it could happen!) Whatever your story, we want your screens -- just email them to us at oneshots AT massively.com!

You know how you can tell a good adventure from a regular occurrence? A really good adventure will give you that moment of hesitation -- the one where you go "whoa, what did I get myself into?" Today's One Shots is of just one of those types of moments. This one comes to us from Theo G. who was playing Lord of the Rings Online, and had this to say: Deep in the mines of Silver Deep, Midthalion of Mirkwood discovers a cave troll that met an untimely death because of a fissure to the surface. At this point, Midthalion wonders "Cave trolls? Am I in way above my head?"

Do you have one of those "uh oh" moments in a screenshot? Do you have email? If so, you should email that moment to us at oneshots AT massively.com and tell us a bit about it. We'd love to see them!

When we saw this mail come in, we were blown away. You see, Adrian (or Asarja) creates lovely panoramic screenshots from compiled screens in Guild Wars. We already knew Guild Wars was a beautiful game, but seeing the panoramic shots is really quite impressive, giving you an idea of just how lovely that world can be! (And lucky for all of us, Adrian sent along a couple more that we'll be featuring in upcoming days, too!) If you really want to see this in all its impressive glory, be sure to check out the full-size version.

Do you like to combine screenshots into panoramas? If so, we'd dearly love to see them. We've featured them before, and welcome anyone else who'd like to try their hand at it! Just send your screens to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com. We'll be looking forward to seeing more!

Ah, how we love the spring -- perfect for spending some time outside and enjoying the night. Unless, of course, you're in an MMO! Then it's all about "what cool adventure can we go on next, and how fast can we get there?" Today's One Shots comes from Gabe, who caught a picture of this group taking just such a run in Lord of the Rings Online recently. The above image is of Saal, Raenynn, and Stevieray, who were enjoying a brisk evening run through the Lonelands between Weathertop and Ost Guruth. We hope that wherever their feet took them, fun and adventure found them!

Do you have a screenshot of your group setting out for fame and fortune? Perhaps you just like the way a particular area looks? Whatever the case, we'd love to see your screenshots. Send them to us at oneshots AT massively.com. Yours could be next!

What is best in life? If you listen to most of the people who would pop by Massively on a Sunday, that would involve playing MMOGs! This weekend is no exception for most of the staff here. Many of us find ourselves in the Age of Conan beta, which is where today's One Shots was taken. This screen is of the blockaded town of Tortage, crushed cruelly under the fist of Strom. We won't give away any spoilers for those of you who are looking forward to this game, but this blogger can say that it is running surprisingly well on her machine, despite it being in beta.

Have you been playing in the open beta this weekend? Perhaps you're sticking with your favorite MMO instead. Wherever your travels take you this weekend, we'd love to see screenshots of them! Just pack them up and send them to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com. Your screens could be next!

Today's One Shots comes to us from Rellia from the Moonglade EU server who wanted to show off just how overpowered Hunters have become in World of Warcraft. Rellia writes, "I just wanted to show you my newest spec - voila, a Shadow Hunter!" Of course we know that there is no such thing -- this effect having been caused by an engineering transporter malfunction that turned her "evil" instead. There again, Shadow spec, evil... kind of the same thing in our book!

Do you have a screenshot of something wacky that happened to you in your favorite MMO? How about some screenshots of interesting screen glitches or funny temporary effects? Whatever the case, we want to see your screens! Just send them over to us at oneshots AT massively DOT com. Your screenshots could be next!
