I did a bit of archaeological research to uncover references for this week's Sunday Best. This was my guy from Loadout, a third-person arena shooter about fiddly weapon customization. My main gun was an electric pulse cannon called "Kill-a-Watts" and the backup was a flaming LMG named "Roast Beef."
For this week's Sunday Best we're going all the way back to Cyborg Justice on the Genesis. I played this game a lot and I always liked to make this one guy: round torso, big stampy feet and the buzzsaw hand. I always remember the magazine ad for this game vividly; you might too if you're of an age.
It's March 13th and that means it's Dead Winter's 19th Anniversary. Nineteen years in the webcomic mines... it's been a long time! Whenever you first picked it up, whenever you drifted apart and whenever you happened to find it again, thanks for sticking around. #webcomics

It's been a hard and busy few weeks, but I've got another Space Person for you to read about.
https://titan.garden/entry/rattle.html A holographic Android who is fascinated by the phenomena of organic decomposition as a bridge between death and new life.
Tonight our Sunday Best feature is the Houndmaster from a charming Crawl-like sidescroller called Vagante. Lovingly referred to as the Dogmancer, I loved to spec into skills that increased damage when you threw the dog at monsters. The dog roams on its own, but you can also carry it on your back!
Today's Sunday Best isn't a person, it's a plane from an old Vlambeer game called Luftrausers! The music changes to match your airplane. My favorite configuration is called "Shipwreck," a sword-hulled amphibious prop plane with shotgun cannons, it can divebomb through boats & burst up from the sea.
A new page of Dead Winter is ready to read!

#webcomicsThis week's Sunday Best feature is Gaige from Borderlands 2. Pure Anarchy is one of the coolest FPS mechanics in the genre, an escalating accumulation of power that came with a diminishing level of control, lowering both TTK & effective range. Ride the wave & figure it out on the fly, it'll be fine.
Gaige's voice actress plays V in Cyberpunk 2077, I learned recently. An old friend.
It's technically Sunday, and this week's fit lands a bit early! I don't Tekken very often, but when I do I like to pick Steve and do all his slippery punches. In Tekken 7 he had a loose-fit, full-body track suit, so I made him into a deer man. When he's in Peekaboo Stance the antlers point forward!
For today's Sunday Best I've got my Animal Crossing Villager to share. My favorite way to play these games is as part of a global cartel of goons who shared their wealth. When one person had big Turnips, everyone got paid. No profiteering; you need a rare item to make your room idea work? We got you.
