One Shots: Don't fly too close

Sometimes, it can be a bit hard to describe finding something neat in your favorite MMO -- which is when pop-culture references come in handy! Since we love to sprinkle in references like parmesan cheese on pizza, we're not surprised when readers take part in the fun and send in their own nods. Today's image and quote comes to us from Mal Iss, who enjoys firework displays -- even if he has to create them. He writes in offering us an obscure reference from a movie called Sunshine to describe this fiery EVE Online image:

"Capa: Icarus, how close is this to full brightness?
Icarus: At this distance of 36 million miles, you are observing the sun at two percent of full brightness.
Capa: Two percent? Can you show me four percent?
Icarus: Four percent would result in irreversible damage to your retinas."

We're always on the hunt for screenshots from MMOs we don't see regularly. If you'd like to help us out, then snap a screenshot of your favorite MMO and email it to us here at oneshots@massively.com. Be sure to include your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing. Tales, pop-culture references, and things of that nature are welcome too! We'll post it out here for everyone to check out and give you the credit for sending it in! Plus, we'd love you in that completely platonic "you're awesome" kind of way.
