“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending.

Friday T&A: Camp Crystal Lake Edition

We are back in business, lads, and long overdue, too. Indeed, I think we are a solid 4 weeks behind our regularly scheduled programming for this most popular and beloved segment of the site, so there is plainly quite a bit of catching up to do. This is what happens...
