Space Hulk: Death Angel (Fritz Signs Up for Boot Camp) | Episode 118
Contributing writer Fritz Godard heads to Starkville to undertake a three-day apprenticeship in Space Hulk: Death Angel, the classic and brutal Warhammer 40,000 co-op card game. We played it — and classic Golden Era hip hop CDs on his boombox — for three days straight.
I flipped the mic on and off with little regard to best recording practices as we stuffed our faces, guzzled beer, invented impossible sponsorship plans, and watched as Fritz went from a guy who couldn’t tell which direction his Blood Angels were facing to a guy who can do gunslinger tricks with a Storm Bolter.
Day One (1:14)
Fritz rolls up in the driveway. I heat up a Lou Malnati’s pizza, we crack some beers and review Fritz’s journey of discovery in board gaming — and where I think that journey leads next.
Interlude: “I Got it Bad Y’all” by King Tee feat. Tha Alkaholiks (10:36)
Day Two (12:44)
Lured out of bed via text the following morning with the promise of good company and complimentary powdered eggs, I head over to the Holiday Inn Express to meet Fritz for Day Two’s action.
Interlude: “Free Mumia” by KRS-One feat. Channel Live (19:13)
Day Three (20:53)
Fritz has already checked out of his room, but he’s waiting in the lobby for me to come back with the game because he wants one more go at it before his long drive. Is he ready to seize victory?
Interlude: “Nutin’ ta Lose” by Dred Scott (25:57)
Coda (27:44)
Fritz made it back to Denver under adverse circumstances. We review the cost of victory and our intentions to become permanent residents of the Holiday Inn Express.
