Picture of the Day (part 2)

Panda doing a spit-take at RIFT going free-to-play.  Okay, it’s pandaering, but I thought it was pretty funny.

Pictures of the Day

From the three MMOs I’m currently playing:

Picture of the Day: STO’s new character select

I just wanted to post this because I am really impressed how Cryptic’s revised the character select screen. Showing off your ship, captain, and crew together looks so darn cool.

Picture of the Day: Kissing

These two kids in Transylvania crack me up.  Their character models are oddly not-child-like, but their dialogue is often quite hilarious so I’ll overlook the looks.

Picture of the Day: Sign language

Still, your name COULD be longer…

So this might be the last time you hear me talk about RIFT for a while.  A couple weeks ago I decided that I was at the point where I was ready to give the game another break after spending eight or so months in it.  No big drama here, no huge fallout, just wasn’t feeling it lately and wanted to pare down my “currently playing” selections so I could get more time in with LOTRO, TSW, and GW2.

To commemorate my past year in the game, here are some of my favorite screenshots:

Indiana Jones, eat your heart out

Yeah, The Secret World is so not being subtle with the whole Indiana Jones connection in Issue #6, but you know what?  I don’t care.  If you’re going to do an homage, go whole-hog — and that includes aping the style of the classic Indiana Jones posters.

Black Dragons

As I tune up my captain in LOTRO, I’ve been working on assembling a few new outfits to give her the cool factor she deserves.  Here’s one I’m particularly proud of:

The shoulders are from Rohan, and I really like how sleek they are.  The cape was a happy addition — I got that from a quest reward in Dunland when I went back to do some virtues there.  I’m actually not that keen on capes usually, but this one I just love.

Everything is dyed black to bring out the accent colors.  I haven’t really settled on a head item for this — or decided if it’s even necessary.
