    Because of its idyllic countryside vistas, any DC Comics fan will immediately recognize Smallville, the adopted Earth hometown of Superman. Then there is Doomsday, a DC villain bent on destroying anything and everything simply because he can. With the combination of Doomsday in Smallville, trouble is on the way. That's why it is up to DC Universe Online's many heroes to intervene and make sure that things turn out all right, like Vale, who sent in today's One Shots. He was fighting Doomsday with his friends recently and sends this image from DC Universe Online to us: "[It's] just another day in Kansas. This is a pic from our league on Silver Age (EU), fighting Doomsday in Smallville." We love to know what you're up to. If you haven't sent in an image for some time, snap one this weekend! Email your screenshot to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here for everyone to check out and give you the credit for sending it in. %Gallery-112285%

    Now I don't mean to make fun-- maybe this poor guy just hasn't had a lot of experience operating a keyboard or playing videogames. Maybe he just hasn't quite yet or just isn't able to pick up the skills to play this game.But when Lynyrd, a 64 Orc Hunter on Drak'thul, puts up a PvP whine post on the forums about how he was killed and camped by a 34 warlock, you just have to wonder what's happening there. A few replies in, there's a mention of more players joining in to the fight (apparently Lynyrd was helping a few lowbie friends when they decided to gang up on some Alliance), but when all the dust has cleared, it really looks like a 64 hunter somehow got taken down by a 38 lock and a 37 priest. Lynyrd makes another appearance later in the thread (after a few more illegible posts by the interested parties, I'm ready to call shenanigans on all of this, but it's still funny), and posts his spec, which is very... umm.... "broad," I guess. Most hunters tend to specialize in one tree, but Lynyrd has chosen to go for the least of all worlds-- he's got the very uncommon 15/20/20 hunter spec.Again, I can't really believe this is what it seems like-- as players point out, any 64 hunter who knows where the autoshot button is should be able to drop a 38 lock without thinking twice. But a read through the thread itself is definitely chuckleworthy.
