Yeah, we’re gonna start this posting thing again.  Don’t like it?  The complaint department is right around the corner and up your ass.
Former Show host and OG forumgoer RurouniQ hit town yesterday.  Did we skip town?  Did we change our locks?  Change phone numbers?  Obtain restraining orders?  All of the above would’ve been responsible and prudent moves – but no – we instead used the BreakmanX.com signal and assembled the crew for a night of food, drink and games.  We started out at a local romantic Italian joint, and proceeded to start bitching about women, their inherent evilness, and how the fuck Weezer got two dates in one week.

Then it was over to a pizza joint.  Weren’t there for pizza, though – it was Outrun 2 that drew us.  Yeah, that arcade-turned-Xbox port, the one that’s like three years old.  It may be old, and the graphics may redefine sub-par, but it’s still a blast.  Even I, Mr. Race-Or-Die, admit that its fun factor is hard to match, even against current games like PGR3 and Ridge Racer.
Contrary to what you might hear from Break, I laid the smack down on all.  I guess it got under his skin, though, because he’s gone off and bought a copy for himself.  He’ll be practicing, but no worry.  My god-like skills cannot be topped by mere mortals.

Mr. Trelane was also kind enough to bring Guitar Heroes for PS2 with him, and we spent the rest of the night rocking out with our cocks out.  Well, they did anyway, I’m not much for beat games – probably has something to do with my complete lack of rhythm.  It’s still fun, though, and tonight we’re moving on to Perfect Dark Zero.  Let the pwnage begin.

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.
