Squad Leader, G-Funk, and the Freedom of Being Unprofitable | Breakup Gaming Society Ep. 94

This week I chronicle the unspoiled pleasures of learning #AvalonHill #SquadLeader. While profit-driven sludge floods the feed, I'm clipping cardboard counters and listening to throwback G-Funk with Hi-C's “Punk Sh*t.”

Drink of the Week (2:47)
A Golden City Brewery tapminder in Golden, CO gives his picks for summer beer flavors from the GCB lineup. This is going to make you thirsty.

Game of the Week (7:35)
With help from my honorary big brother Noisy Andrew of @partymeeple-noisy I finally dive into Squad Leader — the Avalon Hill infantry combat classic, full of printing-press charm, emergent-narrative thrills and analog grit. I reflect on what it means to spend time with things you know were made by human hands.

Track of the Week (16:21)
Hi-C's “Punk Shit” serves pure hydraulic bounce with its extremely entertaining production. Your favorite summer jam for 2025 is from 1991.
