Download MP4 Oh so close to Christmas. Why do I feel so jolly? Maybe it’s all that eggnog. Maybe it’s the sprig of holly jammed up my ass. Or maybe I am just happy to bring you yet another episode of Naughty Bits ON TIME. It’s a goddamn Christmas miracle. Again, we want your questions for the Naughty Inquisition! [email protected]. Live it, love it, need it. We’re also getting ready for our annual awards show, and we’re looking for submissions for categories and nominations for the main ones (Best of Console, Best of Genre, Game of the Year), so send…

Whatever holiday you are celebrating, may it be the best ever.

Download MP4 Back to our normal way of doing things now, although we are sadly sans Maul while he toils away for the Man. Still, we have a grand ol’ time, and you will too. No, you really will. You WILL have a grand time. Don’t make me sick my Gort on you. You die, the Earth survives. Incidentally, we NEED more submissions for the new Naughty Inquisition (re: mailbag). [email protected] is the place to be for all the cool kids. Anyone who isn’t a cool kid must be a sneaky fucker. You don’t want to be a sneaky fucker,…

So, my holiday break has begun with me playing Sonic Unleashed. As many of you know I’m a fan of the Sonic series and have been playing every one since the release of the original. I even liked the Wii one that came out a couple years ago, despite hating the bug filled adventure that didn’t even work for the 360 and Ps3. What do I think about Unleashed? Well, if youre a huge Sonic fan then you should probably play the game, but I might suggest a rental. It isn’t horrible, but it just isn’t great either. You are…

Download MP4 Alright, I’m going to keep this short. There’s turkey to be eaten, people. Sadly, we were sans-Richie for this one, but we make a good go of it. Also, SOMEONE (read: Tholo) forgot his good microphone at work, so he had to use the built-in mic; please excuse the audio suck. On this week’s show, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Quickies * Week in Release * Sony is a Bunch of Childish Petty Asswipes, I Want My Spider-Man 3 Dammit * Eidos Up to Their Old Tricks Again and Proud of It * The Race…

Download MP4 So, a little late this week. But better late then never, right? RIGHT?? Don’t mind the glitches and the performance enhancing drugs. This week is our mailbag extravaganza! Still looking for a name, people; you’ve got two weeks to come up with something better than "Uncle Slappy’s Dog and Pony Scat Show". This isn’t rocket science. On this week’s show, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * Enough With the Rabble Rabble, Sonic Delay is OK * Goo Pirates Suck * Assgoo of the Lich King Already Beaten * Swag Get! US Club…

Download MP4 What do you get when you divide Naughty Bits by 2? You get half the show, but with twice the cleaning power. Please disregard the technical difficulties therein and the lack of certain cast members; needless to say, it’s obvious at this point that some sort of deity is out to get us. Yet, we soldier on, ever defiant, middle finger extended. Fuck you, God. Fuck you. Also, we are creating a new mailbag segment, so until we get an email, make a comment here with your question. Pretty please? On this week’s show, we bring you: *…

Download MP4 What a glorious day it is! Not only have we hit double digits, but it’s an election special! We have a new president-elect, and gay marriage is banned in 3 states, thus proving that the world is still fucked up. And we have proof in the second part of our show. You will NEVER listen to a more important podcast than this episode. On this week’s show, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * Rock Band Makers Pay Too Much for Beatles Rights * DSi Exclusive Games Announced Goddammit * Mercenaries 2 Gets…

Download MP4 48 hours, bitches! BAM. That’s right, we deliver. This episode comes to you only 2 days after it’s recorded. All caught up now, ok? I’ll bet you’re shocked, chagrined, shaken. I’m rather proud, you know? It’s not every day I get to exceed everybody’s expectations. On this week’s show, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * Kid Goes Missing, Bad Father Blames Xbox, QQ Bad Father * Matt Hazard Returns Wait What? NPH FTW * Fable II Has Game-Breaking Glitch, Cue Sad Trombone * Worst Kept Secret #43: Star Wars MMO Announced *…

Download MP4 It’s disclaimer time! Bet you never thought you’d see that on this show… This episode contains language that even you might find objectionable. We have attempted to handle the subject matter with as much professionalism as possible, and the opinions reflected here do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Breakmanx.com or its staff. That being said… Fuck, fuck, fuck the police. In today’s segment, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * Mother 3 Translated Into Non-Moonspeak * No WoW 2 For You * Blizzard Says Warhammer Losing Gains, EA Says Nyah Nyah Nyah…

Download MP4 Yeah yeah yeah, we’re getting caught up. We’ve made some changes to get these shows up quicker, so quit ‘yer bitchin’. Besides, we got everybody here for this one! No one’s missing! And Episode 8 should actually be up before we record episode 9! I know, right?! In today’s segment, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * Thank You Gawd MvC2 Re-Release * UK Game Store Shenanigans * If Ever a Wonderful Wiz There Was * Starcraft II Trisected, Along With Our Hopes & Dreams * HD Block Breaking At Last! * Sony’s…

Download MP4 No Tholo! Oh noes! We make the best of it without him. So the whole "trying to get the show up sooner" thing doesn’t really work when people I’m depending on can’t get me the things I need… One of these days, Alice… One of these days! Pow! Right in the kisser! In today’s segment, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * You’ve Got The Touch… And You Should Have It in RB/GH * Force Unleashed Getting De-Apprenticed * Star Wars Galaxies Designer Commits Suicide, No Jokes Here * Rock Band AC/DC Confirmed,…

Download MP4 Ok, so I lied. Or rather, life makes a liar out of me. Here’s your Episode V; consider the delay to be a strike back by the Empire… the Empire of Busy-ness. One of these days, I’ll have a turnaround time of less than 6 days for these things. Maybe tomorrow… but probably not. In either case, in this episode: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * J.T. Disbarred! Lowenstein Wags His Finger At Us * More Spore: EA Loosens DRM * Warhammer Online Win Get! Not Really * Bungie Jumps On the Cocktease Bandwagon: Announcement…

Download MP4 Part of a Science Fiction Double Feature! (Emphasis on the "double feature", not so much on the "science fiction.) Tomorrow brings Episode 5! That’s right, tomorrow! We’re bringing you content soooo back-to-back, soooo up close and personal, you’ll think it’s explicit content! In today’s segment, we bring you: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release * What’s Better Than Mega Man 9? Break Man 9 * The iPhone Killer: Android. * Halo MMO OMGWTFRPG * Xbox Live is Getting Down with the Sickness * Kingdom Hearts Getting Re-Re-Make * You’ve Got Bejeweled in My WoW * Spore…

Download MP4 Back from the dead, RurouniQ, Richie, Maul, and Tholo are here for your brains! And they won’t stop until ALL BRAINS ARE EATEN! By way of discussing: * Geeking It Up * Week in Release (plus a lil’ more) * Follow-Up: FFXI Boss Now Weak Against Small Fuzzy Animals * Retro Devs Bail, Form Multiplatform Studio, Nintendo Wipes Away Tears with Wads of Bills * Rock Band 2: The TV? * Guitar Hero IV: A New Hope * MK vs. DC Character List Unmasked * MS to Ensemble: Thanks for the Work, Now Get Out * EA +…

And I’m not referring to the myriad tornadoes that are, even as I speak, plaguing the homes of Q, Richie, and myself. Break, count yourself lucky (until the next earthquake, that is). In the meantime, I thought I’d fill the gap between shows for you guys with some gaming goodness. Eventually, we plan to get this Naughty Bits thing running once a week for you guys, but technical problems have been abound as we try to get the new equipment set up, and so far, we’ve only managed to record one without everything blowing up, across three different efforts.…

Download MP4 Just so everyone knows, the beginning is a little rough thanks to a delay between myself and the others, but we resolved it by moving to the quality-inferior Skype instead of Ventrilo. We’re resolving the issue for this upcoming show. This show we discuss: Sony Makes With the Queen Chinese Person Sues Over Lost Character, Judge Laughs 360 Gets Sandviches and Other TF2 Updates Duke Cusses Out the 360 This Year Xbox Live Enables… Voting? Microsoft Fixes 360 Controller… Sort Of Space Invaders Destroy Twin Towers WTF?! FFXI Has Worst. Boss. Ever. Final Fantasy Cocktease Cuntsickle.

Q informed me that he will have the new show up today! Rock on!

Hey guys. Just a quick update to let you know that we’re still alive. A new show has been in the works for quite some time now and something should be recorded and uploaded soon. There has been some minor "life" glitches that has caused some delays but everything should hopefully go smoothly soon. Check back! In the meantime you can download and listen to the final Game Show: The Final Show Saturday July 19th, 2008

So… yeah. I know the lot of you are all nerds, so I’m thinking this won’t be lost on you. Remember the title to the last episode of Star Trek: TNG? All Good Things… And yes, people were upset, people were disappointed. The show ended not because ratings were low or because the lead actor had to go into rehab. It ended because the cast was successful, wanted to move on to other projects, and they felt the show was on a high note that could be ended on gracefully. No problems, no excuses, just good reasons. …

This is Breakmanx.  Yeah, couldn’t resist.  Anyway, just wanted to remind you that Richie, and I will be driving through the desert to Los Angeles starting on Saturday.  Richie and I are going to try and take pictures and post some humorous updates from the road.  Stay sexy.

In the beginning… there was Spacewar. If you want to get more technical than that, there were games even further back than that, but really, I’m not even talking about Spacewar, so let’s not nitpick. I’m talking about me, goddammit. In the beginning… for Q… there was Intellivision. Many people overlook the Intellivision in favor of more popular systems such as the Atari 2600, but my personal preference is for Mattel’s juggernaut. I’m well aware this could be because I owned that and not an Atari (as did half of of my extended family), but really, it was a…

Sorry for the lateness of this post. For whatever reason I forgot to hit publish… One glance around the site and one fact become immediately apparent. I like Mega Man. I’ve liked Mega Man since I played Mega Man 2 in the summer of 1989. Since that glorious moment, Mega Man has been increasingly engrained into my being as a gamer. The first time I fired up the internet at home back in April of 1996, I can remember going to Nintendo.com and looking up all the wonderous things that would be coming out on the mysterious Nintendo 64. …

Ok, so maybe not the MOST wonderful time of the year, but dammit, it’s gotta be in the top 5. I mean, it feels like fuckin’ Christmas in July here, what with all the announcements that are coming out of the woodwork. Usually we’d have all these announcements by now, thanks to E3, but since the 3 of Es no longer has the renown or stature that it once did, many publishers are simply content to realize that there’s a lot of things they haven’t even told people about yet, and just fix that problem. I know that if I…

The first few days are a bit rough, after sending the 360 back again. It was the mainstay in the Richie household for new games, DVD playback, and Uno. I don’t love the infernal thing, but I do miss it. Hey, I could really go for some PGR…oh, yeah…never mind. Bad Company came out today! I’ll go pick it up…oh wait. Fuck. It’s like losing your wrist watch; you go to look at the time and end up reading the hair on your arm. But no matter – I am a gamer. And when the 360 predictably breaks itself, it’s…

I know I touched on it during the show, but I wanted to emphasize just how much I am enjoying Metal Gear Solid 1. The more I play it the more I wish I could’ve gone on this adventure when it was new and fresh. All I can say is that I cannot recommend it enough, especially in the Collection edition. Moving on from that I will say that I’ve been playing an number of othe high quality games both old and new. One that has really been on my front burner is Street Fighter Alpha 2. My love for…

Fanboys. The very word strikes fear into the heart of civilized peoples around the world. Every year these parasites travel their migratory patterns across the internet, searching for the things they need to survive and not caring who gets in their way. For food, they subsist off of their own self-satisfaction, which they generate through insults against a rival tribe, or by pointing out ‘facts’ that are usually either logical fallacies or outright mistruths. Fascinating creatures. For shelter, they take up residence whereever they can find those belonging to their tribe, and usually whereever there are as many rival…

Woah! Say it ain’t so! This news is a heartbreaker. (Sorry, that was awful and I know it.) Following on the heel’s of our news from almost two weeks ago of the departure of Tomonobu Itagaki from Tecmo, the story delivers us another tremendous one-two punch combo to the gut. The first blow was struck by the Tecmo staff, the second by their corporate slave-masters. It seems that Tecmo as a company may be in a crap-load of trouble, and that can only mean bad news for us gamers who love their products. Two weeks ago, Tomonobu Itagaki left Tecmo,…
