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…

Anyone ready for a new episode of The Game Show? I know I am. New episodes starting LIVE on August 14th at 7 PM Central. Be there.

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. …

We’ve just been provided with our first glimpse of Project Gotham Racing 3 since E3. And, mark my words if you like, after watching the trailer, I think you’ll agree with me that PGR3 will be THE killer app for the 360.Here’s what we know already. For starters, there will be no cardboard cut-out crowds, ala Gran Turismo 4. Instead, we’ll have fully 3-D, reactive, motion-captured spectators. And to give those masses somewhere to exist, Bizarre Creations has painstakingly recreated the scenery of the cities you’ll be racing in, using photographs of the actual locations. You’ve seen Jack’s thread, the…

Greg, Paul, and I went to Beverly Hills tonight for what is supposed to be the best steak in California. An absolutely delectable steak coupled with some outstanding wine really was a treat for the senses. The place was insanely nice, and I expected the waiter to make us a time travel device built of toothpicks and bits of string. He was really gracious. Yes, it is his job, but it was still nice. They also had this humongous guy that with a CIA ear piece and everything that made sure everything with your meal was ok. I was wondering…

Well, I just spent the weekend with Kitsune and my friend Raymond in Chicago. We attended Pitchfork’s Intonation Music Festival. It was hot, really hot, and really dusty, but there were so many great bands that played. If you go to the Intonation website, you might notice that one of its sponsers is X-Box. Microsoft brought out a X-Box van that had systems and TV on the side. I was planning on farting in the general vicinity of the van, but honestly, I was too busy watching bands and stuff and just forgot. Anyways, there was a guy who would…

Yeah, I’m referring to Battlefield 2. What else would I talk about? Quite a bit has happened in the Battlefield realm since I last checked in. First and foremost, the patch. You might be tempted to hate on this news, considering that we’ve got our first patch only days after Battlefield’s street date. But remember, if you will, the history of the series: Battlefield 1942’s first patch came out before the game hit shelves. Hell, before that they patched the demo, twice. Certainly, then, the series it taking a step in the right direction.Ah, but is it? Check this out. Yep,…

If you have a DS, you really should get Meteos. As of now, I think Meteos and Kirby Curse Canvas are killer apps for the system. They’re perfect examples of what Nintendo said DS was all about and what DS could do. Now all that’s left is the online part. Beside Meteos and Kirby Canvas Curse, I’ve also been playing alot of NES. My most recent additions to my collection are Battletoads/Double Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, and Castlvania. I’m almost at 90 games, and I think my goal by the end of summer is 100 games. Once I…

Looking around here one might wonder what is going on right now atBreakmanX.com. No shows going on, and Richie is the only oneposting.First of all, where am I? After much consideration about myfuture and such and talking to various people I’ve decided to go toGraduate School at USC for film. (#1 Film Program in thecountry.) I’ve talked to several graduate students, professors,and other people out here and hope that I will be able to secure myself aspot. All I have to do is go back to KU and graduate, and thencome out here. This summer I am taking the first…

A quote I found from the omnipotent Shigeru Miyamoto. Thought you might enjoy chewing on that one a bit.I also found a shortie of a homecooked Battlefield 2 movie you might enjoy. Simplistic, but very well thought out and produced. Sadly, after browsing oodles of Battlefield forums, no one has created a production worthy of the Zer0-Hawks or N-Brigade, the undisputed kings of Battlefield movies, godlike in their knowledge of machinima. Get back to Battlefield, I must. And remember, the parachute is still the “9” key.

Delete everything in C:Program FilesEA GAMESBattlefield 2modsbf2Movies. Trust me on this one; you waste enough of your life sitting at red lights, you can do without the 40 hours of forced intro movies.The only other bitch I have is with the game case, which is too thick for storage in a common DVD rack. The spindle-esque disc storage method is a tad worrying, seeing that the CD’s are stacked one on another, making scratching more likely. It seems like a corner-cutting measure over the traditional book-like method, but I’m the Battlefield fanboy here, so I’m sure EA had a good…

It’s finally shipped! God dammit, this shit is almost as bad as waiting for Christmas morning. Almost, because, being a seasoned Battlefield player, I know what’s in store for me: A few beautiful jewels of genuine teamwork and decency, in a black sea of plane camping, assbackwards Commanders, and incompetent Blackhawk pilots.And they really are beautiful jewels. Like the other night, when I joined a squad who’s leader actually gave two shits about if we won or not. He got us all on voice chat and assigned weapon kits, then got us transportation. And working as a proper team, we…

I’m seriously considering spending money I don’t have on this very special keyboard. But when you look at it, the board doesn’t really do anything special: All the movement keys are in about the same place that they are on a normal keyboard. So, seeing that only half the letter keys are present, all you’re really getting is keyboard that works only with Battlefield 2. Like Gabe and his Wookie straw, it’d end up nothing more than an expensive Placebo. But I still sit here, credit card in hand, waiting for the courage to get that bitch shipped. What’s stopping me? …

Do the community a favor and read these notes before going online.If you don’t know how to command, don’t be Commander. I won’t flame you if you’re a n00b to Battlefield; you suck at playing and it really can’t be helped. But dammit, the last thing our team needs is a n00blet who thinks Commander is nothing more than a cool title. Then when the mutiny vote comes around, you get stubborn and angry, as if your sucking is something to be defended. Quit being a fucktard and let us try to win the game. Which brings me to my second…

Download MP3 (Skwerlfrom Aperfectcircle.net is now hosting) Note: This is not Video Game Related. Also, if this becomes available from an official source this will be removed. This is only so people can get this information which I think is valuable. This interview was done by 103.1FM but not available on the net anywhere. A friend of mine, Borin/Robin from the toolnavy forums, decided to record it for all the people that couldn’t hear it. Skwerl then further edited it to make it easier to listen to. This interview DOES NOT cover Tool, it talks about musicians and how to…

To VMC Game Labs, for being chosen by Microsoft as the exclusive testing provider for the Xbox 360.If you’ll think back to E3, you’ll remember that Glenn Hoogerwerf, Chief Operating Officer for VMC, was kind enough to give us an interview, explaining VMC’s rather underrated role in the gaming industry. Their level of thoroughness is mind-boggling: They cover every testable factor in a video game that you can think of, and probably a few that you can’t. So with several testing facilities around the nation, and their own network infrastructure to work with, it’s no surprise that Microsoft went with…

So, for the first time in what feels like a decade, I’m not currently playing a racing game. Yeah, no shit.It’s an RPG, actually, Chrono Cross. A product of the pre-Enix SquareSoft, notice that it got a perfect 10 from GameSpot. If that’s not stunning enough, then you Final Fantasy VII followers will be shocked to learn that your Holy Grail got just a 9.5. Put that in your materia and smoke it. But starting off, not all was bitchin’. Going through the intro FMV, the character introductions, the combat training, it all added up to about 90 minutes of game…

My family’s business is being raped by viruses and I need to go back there to help them out. These aren’t your ordinary removable by Norton viruses, these are some serious fuckbags. Think Darth Vader and the Emperor in terms of power. Think especially of when the Emperor zapped Yoda and left him as a lump on the floor. Yeah, the Sith are having their revenge on my family’s business computers. They actually managed to get through the computers that were completely up do date in terms of Windows Update, Norton with updated virus definitions, and a firewall. Days like…

June 21st, to be specific. You see, like most other PC gamers, I bought my new hardware with future games in mind. Sure, seeing Painkiller and Far Cry with less aliasing is nice, but is it worth $200? Of course not, not for two games I’ve already played. But seeing Battlefield 2 in all its glory, that’s worth the $200. Yes, EA came out with the golden release date, and I’ve already set aside $50 in cash, just in case I break the bank before then.Excitement aside, I’d like to explain why you haven’t been seeing regular posts from me…

2 major events happened last week both know as E3. There’s E3 (Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) and E3 (Electronics Entertainment Expo). E3 is a harsh mistress. 3 days of actual Expo is not nearly enough time to experience everything one would like to experience. It’s over before you know it and then it’s time to go home. I think the worst part is that when it’s time to go back, the place I have to go back to is Kansas.

These are all pictures we wanted to show off, but didn’t get around to. Enjoy.Weezer, showing his love for the 360.

Download Mp3 We had a chance to sit down with Blake Lewin, creator of GameTap and vice president of product development and innovation for Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. (TBS, Inc.) New Product Development, and he told us all about this new service. As a Gamer who loves SEGA, having the ability to play any SEGA game, especially since Saturn and Dreamcast games can be especially hard to find, is very exciting. Not to mention the vast library besides the SEGA games. GameTap largely celebrates the history of gaming as well as brings in the newer PC games. I will definitely…
