Breakup Gaming Society

At the racetrack, God Complex Bacon Breakfast Toaster surprises everyone with a strong finish at the rail.

Drink of the Week (2:14)
A perfectly fine cinnamon whiskey that I’m not buying again.

Game of the Week (7:17)
Bullshit I’m not playing anymore: Cards Against Humanity, Uno, Talisman, Mysterium.

Track of the Week (14:41)
I simply cannot get through “Auditorium” by Mos Def feat. Slick Rick. Instead, we will focus on my favorite track from Slick Rick’s The Art of Storytelling.

Outro (20:42): A Bunch of Other Shit I’m Not Doing Anymore
Mother’s Day. Flying. Major consumer banks. This is all a bunch of bullshit designed to make me go nuts.

It’s my show, I can fart on the cold intro if I want.

Drink of the Week (3:23)
Riding out the last of the cold months by pairing a rotating cast of stouts — Guinness, Murphy’s, Dragon’s Milk — with a Jim Beam Devil’s Cut back.

Game of the Week (6:54)
Meet a hot-tempered former undertaker with wooden teeth, a wayward ranch hand who knows a lot about brandy and a belligerent carcass trapper with more bullet scars than brains — my first three Frontier Scum characters.

Track of the Week (21:29)
Professor Mike down at KABF in Little Rock got me thinking about remixes and mashups that, for me, fired the original LP track.

Reunited with a lost buddy over the holidays in kind of a bleak hotel. We’re joined for a game of Cockroach Poker by a bunch of kids in the lobby. Later in the episode: rock with me to a Lord Finesse track and then a reading of a poem by Layla Benitez-James.

Don’t try to give yourself a Zoroastrian funeral before you’ve thought everything out. Trust me.

Drink of the Week (3:44)
Shook up a few glasses of mezcal with an orange/clove mixer. It turned out pretty good.

Game of the Week (8:30)
If tabletop roleplaying games hinge on imagination, then you should be able to imagine yourself playing something besides D&D, such as Frontier Scum.

Track of the Week (14:25)
P!

Outro: Starkville Wildlife Report (20:48)
I don’t like being ogled by mountain lions while peeing. My property. My rules.

Things get spicy when one of the ladies from the HOA makes the mistake of getting involved in the Boomer condo orgy scene.

Drink of the Week (3:12)
Bud Light Cheladas. I can drink these walking right down the middle of the road where I live and nobody cares.

Game of the Week (5:26)
I decided that Richard Garfield’s King of Tokyo monster dicebrawling game needed a stronger emphasis on just killing.

Track of the Week (10:22)
Come back to 1998 with me, when mobile phones were still marginally useful and on the right night, you might get to dance to the La Funk Mob remix of Bomb the Bass’ “Bug Powder Dust” feat. Justin Warfield.”

Outro: The Fable of the Frog and the Scorpion (16:57)
I remixed the tale a bit.

Drink of the Week (2:41)
The Bull Shot: if it was good enough for Malcom McDowell, it’s good enough for you.

Game of the Week (4:37)
Nathan Lund of Chubby Behemoth graciously helps me dip a toe into Party Meeple’s 60 Second Cocktail game.

Track of the Week (8:16)
Professor Mike of KABF 88.3 FM’s “The Old School New School Need To Learn Though Show” tells us a cool story about the first 12” he ever bought.

Outro: Thoughts on Abusive D&D Supercouples (17:34)
I guess now that D&D’s a massive industry, that means it’s a career beacon for more sociopaths.

Looking back at four drinks invented for this show that will fuck up your life.

Game of the Week (8:43)
Listen to the mission notes from the latest four of my hair-raising missions in A Couple of Drakes’ magnificent solo RPG, Dead Belt.

Track of the Week (18:30)
Nervous' Undaground Ol' Skool Hip Hop Sessions saved my goddamn life and they might save yours.

Outro: On Self Dates and Poetry Discovered Therein (22:58)
I ate three apps — one a gazpacho-like soup served in a porcelain lampshade — and discovered a beguiling poem, which I read for you.

A promo appears: give a listen to my pals at Talking SMAC (the nerd one, not the sports one).

Drink of the Week (6:15)
We unveil a Breakup Gaming Society cocktail original — Inoculation Against Predictability — created in tribute to Tzeentch and designed by my stromie, Skrrt Vonnegut.

Game(s) of the Week (12:07)
A sad thing brought us together, but I did get to see my cousins and play:
• The Crew (moar!)
• Libertalia (yes!)
• Mysterium Jr. (who cares)

Track of the Week (22:25)
”It’s like somebody got a malicious AI to take a picture of one of Jackson Pollock’s bad dreams,” and other things that happen when dj serv1 gets to pick Track of the Week.

It freaked me out at first, but now I can’t stop listening to it.

Wipe off your feet and kick it up with @familiarwilsons, a podcsting couple that you’ll like knowing.

The short version is that Noble Oak (Double Oak Bourbon) is very good.

I just got a gang of small games in the mail from @fightinabox, @Long_Tail_Games, and @partymeeple — let’s take a look!

Track of the Week (15:12)
I got the title wrong because I was too faded, but the Ol Dirty Bastard track remains propulsive and wild nonetheless.

Meet Sugar Coated Murder, another swell member of my podcasting family.

Drink of the Week (2:40)
Left Hand Milk Stout with Jim Beam Devil’s Cut back, neat.
