The Game Show

BreakmanX.com

The Game Show is a celebration of video games and our collective interests mixed with a healthy dose of humor, while bringing in our favorite people in the game and movie industries on as guests. The podcast before podcasts. The Game Show began in 2002 and quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers, and interviewed top industry talent. Likely the first video game podcast, The Game Show ran for ten years where the team covered industry events and created a massive amount of content. The Game Show returns in 2025 after more than a decade with three hosts from the first run and two new.

    The Best Acting Performances in Video Games | The Game Show S13E12

    What makes a video game performance truly unforgettable? This week on The Game Show, we break down our all-time favorite acting in video games — the performances that made us laugh, cry, and forget we were holding a controller. From motion capture legends to voice acting that defined entire franchises, we're ranking the best of the best and arguing about who got robbed.We also dive into this week's massive gaming news: Epic Games just laid off over 1,000 employees and killed multiple Fortnite modes. Crimson Desert launched to 3 million copies sold but deeply divided reviews. Rockstar cleared its GTA Online schedule fueling speculation that GTA 6 Trailer 3 drops in April. The AI-driven RAM shortage is destroying PC building with DDR5 prices up over 250%. And Nintendo is quietly cutting Switch 2 production after weak US demand — right as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Life is Strange: Reunion hit the console.► ABOUT THE SHOWThe Game Show is one of the earliest video game podcasts ever, launching in September 2002 and quickly building a tight-knit community of gamers while interviewing top industry talent.

    1307 - Jeremy Parish

    Jeremy Parish joins us to enlighten us on all things video games. Jeremy runs the amazing Video Works series that features the NES, Genesis, SNES, and other consoles in providing some of the most in depth fantastic videos on YouTube. Jeremy Parish has been writing about video game history for so long that his earliest efforts have long since been lost to the dustbin of history themselves. After a decade and a half of attempting to engage with gaming’s present at sites like 1UP, IGN, and USgamer, he now spends all his creative energy recounting the medium’s origins as Media Curator at Limited Run Games, the producer of the “Video Works” YouTube series, and occasional host of the Retronauts classic gaming podcast. He currently lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife Cat and a dozen children (which is to say, RGB-modded vintage consoles). ► The Game Show began in 2002 and quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers, and interviewed top industry talent. Likely the first video game podcast, The Game Show ran for ten years where the team covered industry events and created a massive amount of content. The Game Show returned in 2025 after more than a decade with three hosts from the first run; BreakmanX (2002-2013), Jack Burt0n (2003 – 2005), and Maul (2006 – 2012) joined with fresh blood Logan, Darria, and Jess into the mix. Running full steam into season 13 the crew hopes to carry on the momentum of season 12. ► Music: Opening: Project X – Mega Man 2 “Project X2 – Title Screen” OC ReMix – https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00625 ► Closing – Project X – Mega Man 2 “Ending” ► Buy the album here : https://projectx.bandcamp.com/album/mega-man-2
