It's always hard to retire a character you love -- or to see your friends move on from a game you've played together for quite some time. Today's <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/One-Shots/">One Shots</a> shows off one such bittersweet moment with a goodbye dance and /wave from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Nakirush/">Nakirush</a>. The note goes on to explain: <em>Oh bear tank... You shall be missed. It seems like only yesterday you charged valiantly at Festergut, adrenaline coursing through your veins like the avalanche down Icecrown's snow capped peaks. Too bad there weren't any healers present, jackass. I jest -- he's an awesome tank and it was a pretty picture.</em><br />

If you'd like to celebrate your MMO friendships, or favorite characters, we'd love to hear about them. Just snag a great screenshot and send it to us here at <strong>oneshots AT massively DOT com</strong> along with your name, the name of the game, and a brief description. (Guild and server also always welcome.) Yours could be the next one we showcase on One Shots! <br />

There's something to be said for tackling a raid encounter, playing hard, and defeating the boss in your favorite MMO. (Assuming, of course, if <em>has</em> endgame raiding.) There's also something extra-special about getting the boss down the first time. However, the mark of <em>truly </em>enjoying a game is whether or not you can laugh off all the wipes getting to that point or not. Today's <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/One-Shots/">One Shots</a> comes from <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/Nakirush/">Nakirush</a>, who appears to have the right, rather silly, attitude about death. Nakirush writes in to explain this shot: <em>Our brave tank charges Sapphiron as we come to the end of Naxxramas. Blades slice the air and magic pours out wildly. The battle was nearly won, we were nearly victorious. Then we died.</em> <br /><br />We love to see screens from MMOs both big and small, but we need you to send them in! It's really easy to do - just drop an email to <strong>oneshots AT massively DOT com</strong> along with your name and a quick description. We'll post it out here for everyone to check out, and give you the credit.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/one-shots/">One Shots</a></strong></p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/one-shots/#2704109"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2010/02/os864_eq2_1024_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/one-shots/#2700179"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2010/02/os863_fe_1024_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/one-shots/#2695825"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2010/02/os862_lotro_1024_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/one-shots/#2691569"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2010/02/os861_co_1024_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/photos/one-shots/#2687909"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2010/02/os860_wow_1024_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/05/14/one-shots-almost-only-counts-in-horseshoes-and-handgrenades/">One Shots: "Almost" only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Thu, 14 May 2009 14:00:00 EST.

All right! Stop whatcha doin' because we're about to ruin - well, not really, but show off - a <a href="http://www.worldofwarcraft.com"><em>World of Warcraft</em></a> image we got for <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/One-Shots/">One Shots</a> from Nakirush. This great gnomish dance-off was caught by this cautious observer, and just goes to support the statement sent along with it: <em>It is a proven law of nature: If one gnome strips down and starts dancing, any gnome within 25 yards joins in.</em> We think they just want their <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj9_yW8tZxs">chance to do the hump</a>. <br /><br /><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Have you snagged a screenshot that makes people stop and giggle? If so, we want to see it. Send it to us here at <strong>oneshots AT massively DOT com</strong> along with your name and what game its from. A description is optional, but be warned, we may spin something you don't intend if left to our own devices!
