Still giving away weird old comics to friends who support the show. Christopher picked a copy of Spanner’s Galaxy from the DC six-issue series. See the details and what others picked out lately.

Drink of the Week (2:02)
Fritz Godard arrives in Starkville; we get gills-deep in some White Rascal (yes), Leinenkugel Berry Weiss (no) and Michter’s US★1 Kentucky Straight Rye (yes). Chickens are smoked. Final Girls are cooked.

Game of the Week (6:30)
Got on Board Game Arena for the first time ever, playing Faraway with Dave from Dude! Take Your Turn and Race for the Galaxy with Noisy Andrew of partymeeple.

Track of the Week (15:17)
Up out of your chairs for the hip-hop energy that informs Blapps Posse’s “Beat Dat’s Hype.”

I don’t need to be in your pockets every month: Hit me off once and I’ll send you Breakup Gaming Society’s cocktail booklet and your own adorable Defiant Frog sticker. Check it out, it’s easy.

Drink of the Week (3:14)
Infused some Ketel One with medium-roast coffee beans and subbed Frangelico for Kahlua in a deluxe White Russian variation that got me ‘60s housewife drunk.

Game of the Week (6:21)
Can Stalingrad be fun in winter? Yes, if you don’t think about it too much and enjoy David Thompson’s outstanding first entry in Dan Verssen Games’ popular Valiant Defense series.

Track of the Week (16:27)
Lots of rap acts stuck a house track on one of their albums in the late ‘80s, but “Club Scene” by Special Ed (feat. Kazaam) is a little more high-effort.

Take a look here to see some of the vintage ‘80s comic books I’ve already shared with friends who support the show.

Drink of the Week (1:58)
Try my hack for enjoying Lagunitas Brewing Co.’s Tiki Fusion Hazy IPA — a slightly mellowed wad of two 4-mg. pieces of cinnamon nicotine gum. It works.

Game of the Week (4:06)
The year is Rome. The challenge? Build a thriving slice of Roman colonial life with one hand and defend it with the other. The setting? Wherever you have time to sit down, stop being a jerk, and play a game.

Track of the Week (16:13)
I trace how the monster drum break in Georgie Fame’s “Music Talk” was the bread crumb trail that connected my early ‘90s hip hop binge with other listening.

I made a D&D resource for GMs that lets you insert one of 26 fun rappers into your dungeon scenario thingy: Download it free here.

Drink of the Week (2:36)
Take a whiff of this Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select and the surprising depth of character on the shelves at Frontier Geeks in Trinidad, Colorado.

Game of the Week (7:31)
Got down and dirty on a space station with Escape the Dark Sector (review on the blog, also). I also loved Scout, an engaging card-shedding game that keeps landing on the table. Hear about both.

Track of the Week (13:14)
”Act Up” by Ill Breed, from the D&D Project’s assemblage of vaunted NY underground heavyweights.

Support the show and get not just the cocktail booklet, but an important frog sticker. Take a look at this rascal from Inkling Print Co.

Ski In Ski Stout from Telluride Brewing Co., then I start dropping cinnamon whiskey into Four Noses’ El Jefe Con Leche Imperial Stout.

Game of the Week (5:55)

Casuals and hardcores alike should all be playing Project L from Boardcubator. Once you see what these candy pieces do, you’re not going to want anything else.

Track of the Week (13:06)

Why “King Kut” by Word of Mouth is still pouring white-hot out of my speakers.

I continue the campaign to locate and eliminate the network of imposters using one of my handles. Pitch in if you can.

Drink of the Week (2:24)
Tippling on a Sunday at AlMack’s in Trinidad, Colorado. We happily down the Smokehound and the Porch Sitter.

Game of the Week (6:31)
Brian Reynolds fell in love with bridge in college. And with the woman who taught it to him. Now they’re The Bridge Teachers, looking to show you why this isn’t a cultural relic, but maybe your next great love.

Track of the Week (35:45)
Comparing Wreckx-n-Effect’s hit LP mix of MC Lyte’s “Ruffneck” with the Beatnuts’ rework.

My buddy Christopher in LA asked that I spotlight three true-blue friends of his who contribute a lot their various scenes and who now have nowhere to live.

Help if you can:

• Master Craftsman Mark V.

• Volunteer Firefighter Louis

• The Zambrano Family

Drink of the Week (2:28)
The worst thing I had to deal with was a cold snap. Solution: switch up my home-infused cinnamon whiskey base and get some homemade hot chocolate in that bitch.

Game of the Week (6:07)
Depression is a bitch. So was learning Storm Above the Reich. But I pushed through and learned some things about myself.

Track of the Week (32:09)
”The Lump Lump,” Sadat X. Still the most distinct mic game on the planet all these years later.
