Company of Heroes 2 character crops up in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

Meet General Winter: in life, the affectionate name by which the Soviet armies knew the cruel weather that battered Nazi invaders during WWII's Operation Barbarossa. Here, a little man sat in a squat tank of about the same dimensions and fury as a teapot.

The anthropomorphised General comes as a free update to all owners of the Sonic & All-Stars Racing sequel on PC. And conveniently enough, the game itself is free to all Steam s for the duration of this weekend. Honestly, you're fast running out of reasons not to sit in the teapot tank at least once.

Oh, and if you're converted – Transformed has been discounted half to death, and costs but £4.99 / $7.49 until Monday July 8.

Thanks, VG247.
