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.

There is no other way to describe it. I have been a Penny Arcade fan since early 1999 or late 1998. I remember one of my friends, SL_Lactose, sending me a link to a new and funny strip related to gaming. Prior to this I had little interest in online comics, so I clicked the link with little excitement. What followed was something of an epiphany. These guys had a sense of humor that was…
