An excerpt from a comic I made a couple years ago about fishing in video games. Full comic is on my ko-fi for free (or a couple bucks if you’d like). Happy fishing!
I love that Shovel Knight's actual, canonical answer to "why are King Knight and Spectre Knight the two easiest bosses in the main game when they're such badasses in their own campaigns" is that they're both clinically depressed when you fight them.
The most daredevil group of indie game characters to ever whirl their wheels in the Wacky Indie Races! Competing for the title of world's wackiest racer!
The cars are approaching to the starting line...
First is the Turbo Ocean, driven by Octodad.
Next is Shovel Knight and The Knight in the Shield Wagon.
Maneuvering for position is the Pizza Surplus Special.
Right behind is the Angry Birds, in their Egg-Bird Bomb.
And here's ingenious inventor, Engineer in his Convert-a-Sentry.
Oh and here's the lovely Ms. Chalice, the glamour gal of the gas pedal.
Next we have the Dynamite Mobile with the dynamite duos, Anton and Annie.
Lurching along is the Creepy Spook with Spooky and Golden Freddy.
And right on their tail is Annalynn.
And here's the Celeste Mt. Chugga-Bug with Theo and Madeline.
Sneaking along the last is the Bone Machine with those double dealing do-badders, Papyrus and Sans.
And even now they're up some dirty trick, and they're off! ....To a standing start. And why not? They're been chained to a post by shifty Papyrus, who shifts into the wrong gear.
And awaaayyyy they go! On a way-out, Wacky Indie Races!
(edit 10/24/23: my dumbass thought if tf2 was an indie game so i believe it is not if im corrected, but oh well lol)
If you're a fan of SiIvaGunner, then you've probably seen the new Shop Fusion Collab that just dropped today!
I was able to make several major visual contributions to the collab and wanted to share them here! I've got a lot to share, so I'll be posting my contributions for each section individually.
Before I start though, I advise you to watch the collab for yourself! It's a great celebration of shop themes in games with some of the most insanely accurate visuals to match, made by a team of extremely passionate artists.
Tumblr Sexyman, a title bestowed unto only the (un)lucky few. Oncler, sans, Bill Cipher, Reigen, Komaeda, dear god wheatley somehow, i think maybe prussia, that spider from hotel dusk or whatever, there are a good handful to keep track of.
However, to counter balance that, there are hundreds if not thousands of characters that, with different circumstances, could have become Tumblr Sexymen, but fortunately evaded such infamy.
UNTIL TODAY!
May I present to you, the TUMBLR SEXYMAN-COULDABEEN TOURNAMENT!
32 Competitors that could have totally been Tumblr sexymen, whether they match the tropes or simply have the vibes, but never got the chance. Some, due to another character stealing their spotlight, others, from a franchise obscure enough that nobody noticed or they didn’t get reach outside of their own fandom, and others, simply nobody realized their true potential. Who will win and earn the ultimate title of the ultimate sexyman couldabeen?
(I would love to say the winner gets to legally be considered a tumblr sexyman for real but i sadly do not have that authority.)
