In the spirit of something red and redemptive, all of our favorite characters went West in last week’s ‘Shop Contest. They rustled and wrangled their way into the frontier spirit, and some amazing ‘shops came out of their struggles to homestead their way into their new lives.
I asked our intrepid ‘shop experts to send games on down the trail, and y’all made it happen, putting lots of our beloved game people directly under the beating sun of the American West. Sergio Leone’s films made lots of appearances, as did high noon duels and the desert, and I had a hard time picking out my favorites from the sun-bleached pile.
Ginger Snap’s entry got my brain clicking as hard as possible. Are you telling me that I could possibly be someone’s huckleberry in a video game? Can I perform an elaborate attack and defense of a wild west township? I have the world’s biggest soft spot for Val Kilmer in Tombstone, and I yearn to tactically engage my enemies with his powerful revolver cross-draw technique.
The honorable mentions this week are all knocking it out of the park, too!
