Leaderboard: Holidays to game or holidays from games?
It's Thanksgiving week in the United States, which means that a lot of the Massively staff members will be hanging up their hats for a day. It's an entire day when almost everyone in the country doesn't have to work, and that means an entire day free to game... or an entire day free from gaming. Let's face it, you can get a whole lot taken care of in game when you've got a whole day to devote to leveling or farming or even just crafting. But you can also recharge your batteries away from the daily routine of logging in, and you can appreciate the game a little bit more after a day of fun with friends and family. Besides, you can only clear daily quests in Star Wars: The Old Republic or daily achievements in Guild Wars 2 the one time. So with the holiday looming, which do you think is the better option? Using a holiday specifically to spend a full day in the game? Or using a holiday specifically to spend a full day away from it?
One Shots: When you're not looking
It must be hard to be an NPC bad guy. Sure, sometimes you win -- but more often than not you wind up lying on the ground with someone rifling through your virtual pockets. Then you respawn and wait around until the next person happens by to smack you down. Or at least one might think that NPCs just stand around and do nothing. As today's Lord of the Rings Online One Shots shows, perhaps that's not always the case! This image comes to us from Elimdor, kinsman of Men of Valor and level 52 Edhellond Elf on the Crickhollow server, who writes in: "I was on patrol in Eastern Angmar a few weeks ago with my level 46 (now 52) Hunter, Elimdor, when I came across the enemy doing some fairly un-enemy-like activities... I guess it just goes to show that even the evildoers like to kick back every once in a while." Have you captured an interesting slice-of-life screenshot from your favorite MMO? Why not send it in and tell us a bit about what things are like in-game? Email it to us here at oneshots@massively.com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description of what we're seeing in the image. Your screenshot could be the next one we feature here on Massively! %Gallery-112285%
The Daily Grind: Taking a personal day due to frostbite?
Massively readers, you may lie to your bosses, but we here at the blog know that you're really not going to be sick tomorrow. You're going to have your hands glued to your keyboards, because you'll be up all night playing World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King for a span of time that is probably considered unhealthy.The question is though, how many of you faithful readers are going to be taking this "MMO personal day?" Plus, we want the details if you're going to go for the gold. How are you going to do it? Are you going to go for the fabrication of sickness? Are you just going to call in one of your personal days and be totally honest? Or are you going to dodge school using some Ferris Bueller tricks? Comment away, dear readers. Comment away.
