Introduction I watched the first movie with my son last week to prepare for the new movie release this coming Friday. We should have done a themed viewing party. I wish I thought of this at the time. But, I can adjust the focus and turn it a MK II Pre-Fight Hype Party. In this […]
Introduction In my previous article, I discussed my trials and efforts to track down an elusive group that I learned about through a cryptic Reddit post. That initial post led me to believe that they wanted me to find them and tell their story. The subsequent search assured me that they only wanted that if

What follows is their account of their time with the Blue Shell Brigade. The Blue Shell Brigade have been called terrorists, heroes, a nuisance, and a necessity.
