Jess and Break dig into the creepiest moments hiding inside games that were never meant to be scary — from Lavender Town and Majora’s Mask to the empty halls of Super Mario 64 and that one message screen in Sonic CD. #thegameshow #breakmanx #gaming #halloween #scraygames

Jess and Break climb to the top of the lighthouse in Pokémon Crystal expecting a gym leader and find Jasmine nursing a sick Ampharos instead. The only cure is across the water in Cianwood City, so Logan the Wooper's new Surf finally gets a real job. #Pokemon #PokemonCrystal #GottaCatchEmAll

Clone consoles are everywhere now. Some are good. Some are junk that looks good in a listing. Tonight Ace9921 joins The Game Show to sort out which is which. #gaming #retro #cloneconsoles

What game came in the box? We go console by console, from the NES to the Switch 2, and break down every pack-in game. Jess brings the Pokémon picks, Jack brings Halo, and we settle which pack-in was the best of all time. #thegameshow #breakmanx #gaming

This week on Gotta Catch 'Em All: Break grinds levels, gets Maul an evolution (MAYBE?), and walks back into the ghost gym for the rematch. Live at 6:15 CST. #Pokemon #PokemonCrystal #LetsPlay

It's hot takes night on The Game Show. Each host brings their spiciest gaming opinions and defends them live. Overrated classics, underrated flops, franchises that need to die, and the controllers we secretly hate. Nobody is safe, including us. #thegameshow #breakmanx #gaming #hottakes

The Wii Fit Balance Board could have been one of Nintendo's best accessories. Instead, it felt like a missed opportunity. #Nintendo #Wii #WiiFit #Gaming

The Power Glove looked so cool. Too bad it was one of the worst gaming accessories ever made. #Nintendo #PowerGlove #NES #RetroGaming #Gaming

The Sega 32X may be the worst console add-on of all time. But does it have any redeeming qualities? #Sega #32X #RetroGaming #Gaming

Tonight on the Game Show, 9 PM CST: The Sega 32X. The Xbox Kinect. Two of gaming's most infamous add-ons, separated by almost 20 years but united by the same core mistake: asking players to buy into a half-finished vision of the future. #Podcast #VideoGame #bmxtgs #BreakmanX #TheGameShow

At long last... a Ghastly. #Pokemon #PokemonCrystal #LetsPlay
