BreakmanX (AKA Matthew Nyquist) founded BreakmanX.com in 2001 after having small video game websites since around 1996. Things really took off in September of 2002 when he started The Game Show with Richie. BreakmanX.com quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers as the crew covered major industry events and interviewed top industry talent. Break later went to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to get his MFA in Film and TV Production. He worked in Hollywood for seven years with people like Fred Roos (The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars) and Dane Davis (The Matrix). He's now gone full circle and returned to Kansas to write and direct a feature film (EyesOpenMovie.com), relaunch The Game Show (BreakmanX.com), and spend his day time hours as an tenured Associate Professor.

Yeah, we’re gonna start this posting thing again. Don’t like it? The complaint department is right around the corner and up your ass.Former Show host and OG forumgoer RurouniQ hit town yesterday. Did we skip town? Did we change our locks? Change phone numbers? Obtain restraining orders? All of the above would’ve been responsible and prudent moves – but no – we instead used the BreakmanX.com signal and assembled the crew for a night of food, drink and games. We started out at a local romantic Italian joint, and proceeded to start bitching about women, their inherent evilness, and how…

I got a 360 today, someone was there to document the occasion.  There’s nothing quite like a console launch.  The 360 arrived via UPS just as I had jumped in the shower.  I heard some sort of noise out the door, but didn’t realize it was her telling me my 360 had arrived.  By the time I left the bathroom she had things out of the boxes and ready for the fun to begin.  I got things plugged in just as it was time to go to class, but we got all the Live! stuff ready to go.  NBA2k6 is…

Extenuating circumstances have prevented me from being in locations that are showable. Well, at least The Game Showable. To get the meat out of the way first, it looks like the show won’t resume till January 15th. Most people are out and about for Holiday Break anyway so I’m hoping it doesn’t impend your Candles, your Jesus, your Kwanza, or Yule too much. I am having a wonderful holidays, however. Still on the hunt for a 360. I still swear that Microsoft made three or four of them. I’ll go as high as five, but that just sounds like crazy…

Sorry dudes and dudettes, but Break fell ill yesterday, and is in no position to Show off today. I’ll have to find some other way to spend your Sunday evening. I’ll still be in the chat room, regardless. I’ll be sending good vibes towards Break if anyone wants to join, and we might even get a shitfuck fight going. Join us, we won’t bite. 🙂

We were going to go ahead and do the show today, but time is simply not going to allow with me having to be in Lindsborg early in the morning tomorrow to give my presentation. We’ll see you all tomorrow though. Also note that it will be at 8 and not 7. Be sure to catch us Monday at 8:00 Central Time (When is this in my time zone?) on the The Game Show. Click HERE to start the broadcast. To write in questions, go to the IRC chat. Its easy =)

Be sure to catch us today at 7:00 Central Time (When is this in my time zone?) on the The Game Show. Click HERE to start the broadcast. To write in questions, go to the IRC chat. Its easy =) We’ll be taking voice call-ins via Skype today so get it downloaded and get your audio levels all set up before calling in. You’ll want to contact the user breakmanx, but it shouldn’t be online till we actually are taking calls.

So, it has been a long long time since we’ve allowed people to call in to the show. Triad636 volunteered to test it with me today, and we got it working much better than ever before. We’re going to put a part of the show aside on Sunday for anyone to call in and talk to us about whatever you want. We might decide on a topic too.. Who knows, but it will be interesting to hear from all you. To call in to the show all you need is a microphone and Skype (which is free and works on…

Sad? Yeah, so are we. We dislike canceling more than you do, trust me. But there are forces in this existence beyond control. Like the forces that are causing Break enough abdominal pain to make a week at Bible School sound like a vacation. “Haaaaay, what’s up? This is BreakmanX…” would sound less like an intro, and more like a death rattle. So yeah, you have tonight to yourselves. Stay out of trouble, you crazy kids.

You might be wondering why you haven’t been able to download the latest episode of The Game Show this week. Unfortunately we had a slight mishap with the recording, and long story short… the show is lost forever in the catacombs on cyberspace. If you, or someone you know, recorded this show please head on over to our forums and let us know. Really lame, I know, but there’s really nothing we can do about it. The thing that really irks me about it is that I really thought it was one of our better shows. Richie even agrees with…

Since I abused my position with BMX.com to show off some Gran Turismo 4 shots. I think we’re a bit overdue.The ever-sexy NSX-R.#1 #2My new Toyota MR2, stock and straight off the used car lot.#1 #2 #3Another used purchase, a ’99 Impreza Sedan.#1 #2 #3 #4*Bold = If you’re only willing to hit a few links, hit these*I’ll probably come off as a braggart, but I like to think I’ve improved my photographic eye with these new shots, and I’m particularly proud of my work with motion blur. I’ve also tried to bring more background in to the shots, trying…

Not until September, if my sources are correct. Now as far as I’m concerned, Family Guy is, was, the only legitimate reason not to listen to our Show. And you better believe the hosts will be taking attendance from now on.I’ve got a Gamespot link here for the Battlefield crew; it’s an interview with Mike Doran over the Special Forces expansion they’ve got cookin’. For those of you that don’t obsess, the big idea behind the expansion is to bring Sam Fisher to the Battlefield realm; night vision, zip-lines, flashbangs, the works.I’m a tad skeptical about the whole idea: I…

Most of my friends here decided to go to a dance club last Friday evening, but Paul and I are not really the dance club type. Especially since it seemed that a majority of the clubs were having transexual nights and other things that just didn’t appeal to us. Instead, we took another trek down to Santa Monica. For those of you who don’t know, Santa Monica is considered a part of L.A. and is west of downtown L.A. The part we were at was right by the ocean. Really nice place. I put some video on my moblog. …
