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.

Mega Man 8 was poorly received during its initial release and only sold around 407,000 units, which is quite a drop from 1,510,000 for Mega Man 2. The 3D push at the time left it in the dust, but it has always been one of my absolute favorite games. The first episode of Break’s picks is a journey through a game that I think deserves more love, and I hope you’ll give it a shot. All footage captured on real hardware using the Retrotink 4k.
