I turned 26 today, although I won’t celebrate for a couple more weeks. I’m directing the next two weekends, and all my time and energy will be devoted to that. What did you guys think of the Oscars? I’m really glad Heath Ledger won.

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.

How’s everyone doing out there in Internet land? It has been a few weeks since Q and crew graced your speakers, and I was just curious to see how everyone was doing. I know there has been a slight lull lately with the break that we’re all taking, but rest assured that this is not a permenant thing. The guys and I have actually started talking about something that starts with an E and ends with a 3. Certainly one of my favorite times of the year, we hope to make plans to cover it this year. I just finished…

We’ve removed Tholo’s arms, which is why he had to leave after the intro… But we weren’t going to do a farewell episode without everyone, arms or no.

Download MP4 Here you go, the latest greatest episode in a series of win. WIN I tell you. WIN. We somehow make do without Tholo, and with Richie’s newfound cybernetic voice module. Either that or he had an emergency tracheotomy… We roll down the news as usual, with a long string of quickies to make up for our missing week of news. It is as follows: * Geeking It Up * Week In Release * Andrew Lloyd Gamer? * Quickies * Everyone Point and Laugh at the Spike VGA Fail * Sorry Sony Fanboys, PSPhone Not Gonna Happen *…
Download MP4 It’s here people! The Summer Blockbuster Awards Show Extravaganza Love Triangle Killdozer is here to fuck your shit up. Richie, Maul, Tholo and I run down our picks for the year with EXTREME PREJUDICE. THRILL as: * Tholo limits his picks to about 4! CHILL as: * Maul and Richie hit on each other!

So listen and enjoy the dulcet tones of our voices as we give our favorite games…

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…

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.

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…

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?

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…

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!
