SiIvaGunner All-Star Summer Festival 2021: Legends of the Western Sunset

The SiIvaGunner All-Star Summer Festival 2021: Legends of the Western Sunset, or simply SummerFes, was an event on the SiIvaGunner channel which began on July 15, 2021 and was said to end in August 2021, but actually ended on September 14, 2021.
Similar to the SiIvaSummer All-Star Festival and the SiIvaGunner All-Star Winter Festival, this is a super-event encompassing a few traditional channel events and special activities amongst regular uploads.
==Rips uploaded==
The channel accepted submissions for rips themed to Summer or Westerns during the event, similar to the Winter Festival's Christmas rips. Uploads of rips with these themes were initially infrequent, but became more common as the event went on.
==Activities==
*On July 15, 2021, a video was uploaded to announce the festival. Soon after, PSY-related rips were uploaded to celebrate "Gangnam Style"'s ninth anniversary, accompanied by another announcement video.
*On July 17, two videos were uploaded to announce that the Space Jam Charity SLAM!, originally meant for the 2020 summer festival, would occur later that day.

==Community posts==
Throughout the event, a multitude of community posts were put out; these (with 2 exceptions) were done in a similar fashion to the event's announcement videos, with more monologueing from Redwood and usually acting as the conclusion to the relevant channel event. They were also used to point out new additions to the channel banner. (See also #Gallery.)

 	Bang. 	
 	Half-eaten carrots... inside of a jailer's outfit.
Surely, that rabbit from the Tune Squad left this behind, right?
The smell tells a different story. No, the person who left this behind's committed far worse... this is the smell of a war criminal... 	
 	We raised a Grand SLAMmin' Total of $16096.69 for the Equal Justice Initiative!
Thank you EVERYONE for tuning into and donating to the Space Jam Charity SLAM!!!!!
Stay tuned for the releases of the SLAM!s later this SummerFes! 	
 	Barkley and his Tune Squad got clean away. They left before I could even get to 'em. The bandits stopped comin' too.
Guess that means the citizens can sleep easy now... but just what was that "Secret Stuff" anyways? I decided to take a swig.
...it was water. Nothin' but clean water.
I guess livin' in the driest desert can make you do some crazy things once you can finally take a drink...	
 	Wasn't expectin' to find myself such great deals at the general store.
Of course, a lot of what they were sellin' was this... shiny new-fangled technology, beyond my comprehension.
A "Panasonic Blu-Ray" for only $99? What does the damn thing even do?
This "hhgregg" guy may very well've been a grifter... but without a price on his head, he's none of my business.	
 	A curious lookin' mask. Found it a week ago. Feels as if it's been worn by many people.
There was this crazy old coot in the town square who would tell stories of a mask just like this one. He said it would float around, eat people and steal their voices.
Guess that's why they called him crazy, huh.
But... lookin' into the holes of this mask, I can't shake the feelin' like it might be true...	
 	hey gang, wood man here. hope you're enjoying summerfes so far, but we got a couple of things to clarify for any email submitters. just to keep things extra nice around here >:]
details below the cut:
🢂 we're still open for summerfes rips.
apparently there was a little bit of confusion amongst our initial call, so we apologize for that.
so allow us to clarify.
for summerfes, the following types of rips are allowed:
- songs from western or desert levels
- songs from western or desert-themed games
- rips that feature country/western-themed music
- rips that feature summer-themed music
if any of your rips meet these qualifications, you can email them to us at highqualityrips@gmail.com. please remember to tag your emails with [SummerFes] at the start of the subject line along with the other usual email details. 
also please don't tag your unrelated rip as [SummerFes] just so you can get it uploaded early. that's not nice >:[
🢂 in regards to Super Star Symphony submissions:
at 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST on the 9th of august, we will NO LONGER taking any more email arrangement submissions for this. if they're good enough they will be in the project, but any more submissions that are sent past the due date will not be reviewed or accepted. thank you for understanding.
hopefully that clears shit up for you. that's all, folks... enjoy the rest of summer! >:]	
 	Another mask.
Don't have a clue who this might belong to. Smells of pigskin and fool's gold. The outlaw who coulda worn somethin' like this clearly wasn't normal.
...huh. I'm feelin' kinda lucky just holdin' it. 	
 	Got 'em.
Got 'em good.
Kind of a rough fight, though. I just kept shootin' and shootin', he just kept eatin' and eatin'. Thinkin' fast, I hurled a spiked ball at him. Being a master marksman, I clocked him straight in the face.
Then somethin' strange happened. Time stopped, if only for a brief moment--then he just spun in midair and fell straight through the ground, disappearing forever.
Yeah, you'll have to pay me double if you're gonna make me take out someone like that again.

[No image included]	Hi, this is Gabe Newell. Welcome to my SiIvaGunner takeover.
After 7 years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the weight. 	
 	You may be wondering how we were able to make Episode 2.
I had to sell off The Combine to Haltmann Works Co., but that works out as a win-win for me, the entire team was an ass, and we won't be working with them again.

 	Thanks for tuning into my SiIvaGunner takeover.
Now get ready for another full day of rips.
That's right... it's Episode 3! 	
 	Goodbye forever... Ryuko Matoi. 	
 	Gabe was a tough one. The man took two bullets straight to the belly without even breakin' a sweat. Thought he was bulletproof... thought I was done for.
Then I fired one more. He went down like it was nothin'.
Third time's the charm.

 	Paul is dead. For real this time.
I've been lingering around this town for too long. Taking bounties, naturally, creates a bounty of your own.
There's heat and a price on my head now. I need to hightail it outta here, fast.
An old outlaw once said that Tahiti might be a good place to lay low...
