We don't know about you, but we think there's something particularly evil-looking about the fiery portals that open up in <a href="http://www.riftgame.com"><em>RIFT</em></a>. Perhaps it's because of an aversion to fire, or maybe it's due to the well-instilled idea that fire, demons, and brimstone go hand in hand. Whatever the case may be, this scorchingly eerie screenshot comes to us from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Chadwich/">Chadwich</a>, who writes in to tell us of his experience: "<em>This is a fire rift that roared to life and burnt the countryside asunder. It was the beach-head of a fire assault. Within minutes of the rift opening, minions began pouring out and charging down the road toward the closest villages. Time was of the essence. We had to close the rift as fast as we could</em>."<br />

Next week we'll be introducing theme weeks to One Shots, kicking things off in the most logical place: starting zones! If you'd like to help us out with <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/One-Shots/">One Shots</a>, then send a screenshot of what you think is the best starting zone in any game to us here at <a href="mailto:oneshots@massively.com">oneshots@massively.com</a> 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 enjoy and give you the thanks!<br />

Today marks the official lauch of <a href="http://www.riftgame.com"><em>RIFT</em></a> for those who didn't pre-order and get in on the head-start action. As such, it only seemed natural to feature a <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/RIFT/">RIFT</a></em> screenshot from the pre-launch so those who are just now joining up get a glimpse into how things were in-game just a few scant days ago. This image comes to us from chadwich, who writes in to tell us more: <em>"</em>S<em>anctum was packed and bustling as </em>RIFT<em> opened its doors to the world. This is Bartlebe the Dwarven Mage sitting atop his first mount on his way out of the bustling city. I snapped this shot, and I felt like it really captured the finer side of the city</em>.<em>"</em><br />
