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.

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…

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…
