Wow. Thanks for all the kind words everyone they mean a lot to me. I want to say it again that Joe and I are still good friends and will be for many many years or until he stops buying copies of Snatcher for me to pilfer and then it'll be over. I'm excited to see future episodes of Game Sack especially one that I know Joe is working on that includes my favorite SNES game. And if Joe wants a cameo at some point I would jump at the opportunity. Game Sack has been a really great time in my life. Going to conventions and meeting lots of people really made me enjoy what we did. Plus I got a chance to play tons of games that I never knew existed thanks to all the recommendations from your comments. I've learned a lot from you knuckleheads and I hope you've learned a little from me. Thanks again and keep watching Game Sack.
Game Sack Dave You should be proud that you made, pound for pound, the best show of its kind. Even with UA-cam completely saturated with gaming content, GS towers over them.
Tomorrow I'll post a general Q&A about Dave in the Community section here which should show up in your feed if you're subscribed. I'll answer as many questions as I can think of. But for now let's hear it for Dave!
No Game Sack your my favourite thing on UA-cam - and there is a lot of stuff on UA-cam - You guys light up my whole week - I watch your channel when i get up and when I go to sleep - That's a great shock and loss to all your fans - That's really say - I honestly will miss Dave's presence
Wow, the end of an era! Sad to see Dave leave but totally understand the decision. Would be great to see the occasional guest appearance in future. Long live Game Sack!
An interesting fact about the Lynx; The games were *not* programmed on an ST, it wasn't compatible, the games had to be programmed on an Amiga (the arch nemesis of Atari).
@@remka2000 the Amiga certainly wasn't up to par with most 16-bit hardware since it's from 1985, but for what it's worth its pretty powerful, the Lynx included
@@turrican3839 like John and Dave said - the most Lynx-games are more like tech-demos. For example, 3 layers of parallax-scrolling is really impressive for such an old handheld but the gameplay sucks at the most games.
Gamesack won't be the same without you Dave but I applaud your decision to make more time for yourself and your family. I'll still be a loyal subscriber and watch every episode. Hopefully we'll get Dave in the occasional end skit.
A video game show by two lifelong friends was such a unique and charming concept. I feel like this show’s been with me for so long. I owe you both so much. Here’s to Dave.
One of my friends got an Atari Lynx back then & I was somewhat envious. He had about 20 games with it. Among the favorites that I played were: 1. Zarlor Mercenary 2. Rampage 3. Paperboy 4. California Games 5. Ninja Gaiden
Frank Sisson I’m such a big fan of Todd’s Adventures in Slime world, and Gates of Zendocon by the same designer. Those games are some of my all time favorites in their genres, being Metroid style explorer, and multiple path space shooters
In The Gates of Zendocon you don't have to land your ship between stages. That's only if you want to get a new ship. If you don't, just go to the right straight to the next stage.
Yeah, unfortunately the other 90 sticks of dynamite thrown at you during the level are less easy to avoid. I had that game and it was a soul-crushing experience. Not fun after the 10th attempt, and the cartridge went to live under the couch forever.
This news has actually made me a little sad. Good luck with whatever you get up to now Dave. I hope you come back for semi-frequent guest appearances at least!
The lynx was awesome! I remember bringing it to school and everyone was blown away at the time, a shame it never really took off like the Gameboy did, highly underrated system, great video!
@@LavaCreeperPeople Well I consider myself lucky. I once found an Atari Lynx Model II at a local Charity Shop here in Australia. It came in a carry case, and had two games in its pockets. And it only cost $5AU! For that price, it was a no-brainer. And it still works perfectly! Not bad for technology over 3 decades old.
Dave, You’ve had a great run, and the selfish part of me hates to see you go, but I admire you keeping your priorities straight. Thanks for the memories, and for all the great laughs. Now go home and be a family man.
Wishing you the best Dave! 8 years is a heck of an achievement but family and health is more important. Hope to see you sometimes on a future episode. Take care!
You’re leaving game sack Dave, man it won’t be the same without you, but if you have to spend more time with your family then do what’s right for you man, I won’t miss your last episode, we’ll miss you Dave :’)
My heart sank the moment Joe said "Dave's got an announcement." I knew that could only mean one thing... Oh well... You all are still gonna hang out with each other, right?
I was a big Lynx fan when I was 14 or so (when it was pretty new still). I even busted out graph paper for games like Electrocop and Slime World, which for me really increased the immersion by spending some quality time mapping out and learning those worlds. Different times those were!
just picked one up in 2022 never had one before but long-time atari fan seller included a flashcart with the complete library , replaced all capacitors, and lcd screen swap
Wow what memories.. When i was 16 and visiting Hawaii, last holiday I ever had with my folks, I bought a Lynx, Scrapyard Dog, Blue Lightning, Rygar and Stun Runner.. I loved the darn thing.. Obviously, seeing it on a lynx screen does not look anything pixellated like it does here, I presume this was emulation? In any case, we moved house and I lost it amongst a myriad of boxes, along with 30 intellivision games, some rare, and nes games.. I wonder if they would have been worth anything today.. Cheers for the memory vid.
My heart is absolutely broken man. I'll never miss a UA-camr the way I miss one of you two from this show! Been watching this for about half a decade now and I love this show to heaven and hell and back... Much love and respect for all the good times you gave me/us!
The layer-separated transitions here look so frickin' cool! Hell of a neat trick, Joe. Now, onto the heavier thoughts I want to communicate tonight. I've been watching Game Sack since you were ScrewAttack G1s, before this channel had even 1000 subs. It has, and will continue to be something I look forward to brightening my days. Here stands a true fan, and while time moves on and all things must eventually end, I'll fly your colors until that end finally comes. You never disappoint. So, bless you, Dave. We'll always love you and your dynamic with Joe, combat-forged veterans of the one true console war. Thank you for everything you've brought to this show and for just being you. My biggest regret is not being able to meet you both at all those conventions you went to and I couldn't. We wish you good fortune in the games to come, and hope your retirement gives you the time you need for your loved ones and to unwind. We're missing you already. Work-life-hobby balance is super important, but if you're burning out, it's time to bow out gracefully, or risk preventable harm to yourself. We'll never forget and never stop loving you, and we'll cheer from the bottom of our hearts on the off-chance you pop up again... ...but if Game Sack turns into Makeup-n-Shoes with Joe and Jen, I swear to God I'm comin' to Colorado to kick some Sacks, yeah.
I don't think I've ever been more sad at an announcement on UA-cam. Wishing you the best Dave in wherever life takes you. Enjoy the extra time with your family!
I find it really interesting that this system used both horizontal and vertical for playing games; years before cellphones utilized it. Sad to hear that Dave is leaving but I am glad the show will continue on.
Family always comes first. Dave thank you for all your time, energy, and passion you poured into each episode of Game Sack all these years. You will surely be missed.
I'm really, REALLY gonna miss seeing Dave but I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach when he was 100% absent from the Mega SG review, so I can't say I'm surprised. I wish him luck with any projects he wants to start in the future (if any) and really hope he enjoys all of his extra time he gets to spend doing dad things. Thanks for so many hours of laughs
I saw that coming when Joe did last episode alone. But suspicion arised when Joe did that editing video too. Besides Joe does all the work. Now the auditions for "New Dave" will begin. 😁
I really didn't think much of it. Joe as well as My Life in Gaming talked about how those Mega SG reviews had to be rushed so everyone could have them ready in time, so I really wasn't surprised when I saw that Dave wasn't there. I figured it was just due to the fact that Joe had to get it done really quickly.
The 2- or even 3-layers of parallax-scrolling in the most games is really impressive for such an old thing! But the Lynx was way to expensive and they released not enough good games. A friend owned it in the early 90's (rich parents!) but we rather played SNES and Megadrive back then...
Man this brings back memories. Over a decade ago i found a Lynx II with the carrying case at a local thrift store for 10 bucks. And it included Ms Pac-man and Blue Lightning. The plastic screen cover is slightly cracked but everything still works and i still own it to this day. Thanks for the Nostalgia trip guys!
Interesting console . Did you all have to emulate a lot of these games? I would have totally donated a couple and most of these games for you guys. Especially for one of Dave's last shows. Blue lighting and gaunlet are my favs
I have the Lynx II as well! The only game I've ever owned was what came with it, which was Pinball Jam featuring Elvira. That's it, one game of pinball - but I dropped in 6 AA's to test the system and it's still working! Can't believe you didn't include Pinball Jam featuring Elvira however.
hmmm here in New Zealand they were NOT common, but pop up now and again secondhand, I've been thinking about buying one, just to have yet another portable to collect for. But now after watching this, nahhhh... not enough fun games. Sega Game Gear, it may be your time!
i have been watching this show for about 6 years i will miss you Dave thanks for all the good times and i had a Lynx when i was young i liked it but not many games
My favorite lynx games are Rygar, gates of zendocon, scapyard dog,turbo sub, hydra , klax and blue light ning. This system was very advanced for the 80's
Also Dave... The last couple episodes I sensed your heart wasn’t really in it. When that happens it’s best to move on. I hope you make some guest appearances now and then but focus on what makes you happy. Thanks for the great memories... Wait, I just realized we’re stuck with Joe now... HOW COULD YOU DAVE?????
First it was Greg leaving Console Wars, now Dave is leaving GameSack. All my favorite shows are taking a hit! And it's always the Nintendo guys too, proving once and for all that SEGA is better... Anyway, best of lucks to Dave. And hey, at least keep doing the odd ending skit together, c'mon!
hmm let's see Nintendo has a shit load of money and STILL is making consoles while SEGA is broke and can't make consoles and make shitty sonic games hmmm yeah SEGA SUCKS!!
@@almostliterally593 Families are overrated. Anybody can have a family. Even monkeys have them. But in order to build civilizations, you have to be driven, you have to be able to see things trough, you have to get things done. That's where we SEGA guys come in.
@@molcosduran1076 All I can think of is one word - Karma - look it up. And standing up for your family instead of Internet fame is pretty much defeating the modern world standards. And tbh I think people who wish you gat cancer don't deserve your time anyway. That said Cheers to you Dave and get happy what ever may come!
Thanks for all the hard work you put into Game Sack Dave. I am sad to see you go, but totally understand. You need to put your family and well being ahead of keeping us nostalgic nerds happy. I'm going to continue watching Game Sack, and look forward to guest appearances in the future.
saizerboy - Joe has learned how to clone himself from Classic Game Room and “Nintendo Joe” will keep trying to steal that Snatcher. Oh, and Greendog....
There is something about the mis-match of the really powerful scaling and sprite capability and the low color selection and resolution that made the developers do some interesting stuff.
I believe that as a handheld it only used conventional batteries that didn't last very long at all, probably one of it's biggest flaws. That certainly stopped me from purchasing one.
I'm really going to miss you Dave, Game Sack won't be the same without you. Thank you so much for the years of great entertainment you gave us and I wish you the best!
It was. It could do things in Hardware like sprite scaling that the Megadrive couldn't do without special programming. Contra is a good example of the Megadrive pulling it off.
Without Dave is not going to be the same, not worse or better, just different. Anyway, I hope Dave enjoys his family and his life as he wants and more. If someday wants to come back, we'll recieve him with open arms :)
Thank you Dave for all the hard work you put into so many episodes over the years. You will be missed! Best wishes to you and your family, and good luck to Joe flying solo!

Batman Returns: you can hide your head behind the mailbox during the explosion and you will keep all your health. Gauntlet: Option1 at the beginning of stage 1 to skip 5 levels. I think you can reach level 25 or so doing this.
Damn dude, it’s gonna be a tough watch without Dave. You guys are awesome together. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors good sir, and thanks for all the great episodes
Thank you Dave for everything you did to entertain us and review games.I'm grateful to get to meet you guys at PRGE 2015.I'm the guy with the Mario shirt who gifted you guys the amiibo's.
Please don't leave Dave! You guys are my favorite show! Thank you for all your hard work. I know how stuff it is to maintain a channel. I couldn't even do it for a month.
Lynx was a great system! Some of the best arcade ports for sure. Dave doesn’t like KLAX?!?! It’s the best port of the arcade, hands down! Oh well Joe. At least you won’t have to worry about him stealing your Snatcher any more! Strange timing especially after Greg left Console Wars... Joe could use a new partner too. Might I suggest... Ok, not me because I don’t live in Colorado but someone cool like me. ;-)
Gonna miss you Dave, thanks to you (and Joe) for all the years of entertainment. Great stuff, funny and informative. Plus you saved me a fortune as your trips down memory lane, are enough to stop me developing a massive retro habit of my own.

All the best, Dave :,)
Game Sack Dave You should be proud that you made, pound for pound, the best show of its kind. Even with UA-cam completely saturated with gaming content, GS towers over them.
You have to take care of yourself and your family first and I respect that, but it's a bummer to see you go.
Dave, we will miss you. Please promise that you will consider dropping by to say hi on a future random episode!
This is truly the end of an era
Agreed, a "from time to time" guest showing would be fkn awesome.
Tomorrow I'll post a general Q&A about Dave in the Community section here which should show up in your feed if you're subscribed. I'll answer as many questions as I can think of. But for now let's hear it for Dave!

Hey Dave, Review Kingdom Hearts series and Mickey Gamecube games in next episode.
Wow, the end of an era! Sad to see Dave leave but totally understand the decision. Would be great to see the occasional guest appearance in future. Long live Game Sack!
An interesting fact about the Lynx; The games were *not* programmed on an ST, it wasn't compatible, the games had to be programmed on an Amiga (the arch nemesis of Atari).
.. because the hardware was designed by the same team that designed and built the Amiga!
And they were all horrible. Especially compared to Amiga software at the time (the end of it).
@@remka2000 the Amiga certainly wasn't up to par with most 16-bit hardware since it's from 1985, but for what it's worth its pretty powerful, the Lynx included

Where did you get that info from? Neither St or Amiga are compatible with the lynx. Although cross development is feasible on both systems...
Oh hey Joe. Glad to see you are ok after that Aladdin Deck mishap
I expect Dave to steal his Snatcher again after that.
At least they should have made the Deck Enhancer explode on Dave so we would have had a proper plot reason for him to leave the show!
@@81Mendel lol good point
He should thanks James by sending him a copy of Greendog.
Me too lol. That explosion and thw aftermath were so convincing.
The amount of work behind this is often underestimated. Thanks for all the hard work Dave we will miss you!
Even the scene transitions sometimes are so fast you don't notice them, but if you do, they do some cool stuff.
Gamesack won't be the same without you Dave but I applaud your decision to make more time for yourself and your family. I'll still be a loyal subscriber and watch every episode. Hopefully we'll get Dave in the occasional end skit.
"AND I get a kiss from a beautiful women!"
Dave will be missed!
A video game show by two lifelong friends was such a unique and charming concept. I feel like this show’s been with me for so long. I owe you both so much. Here’s to Dave.
I blink and the editing gets even better. Those transitions, holy hell.
Yeah, those were amazing!
Hahaha.... Dave quitting? Oh you jokers... April Fools was 2 weeks ago!
Hahahaha... And you forgot to say the words, you sillies!
Hahahaha.... guys?
Dave cannot leave. There must be a pair for a Game Sack. Noooooooooooooo!
I'm not crying... you're crying... or it's just someone cutting onions in the room... =/
It's ok. It'd be worse if the other guy was leaving. Think about it. Dave was kinda the less inspiring guy if I had to choose which one to leave.
One too many fights over Shinobi...
Don't you get it?! It's over! *slams fist on table and cries into arm*
I'd be content even with a video clip of dave saying that's right joe constantly
That's exactly right!
@@xxcrysad3000xx "That's exactly right, Joe!"
I'm really gonna miss Dave on the show. His voiceover work was fantastic.
One of my friends got an Atari Lynx back then & I was somewhat envious. He had about 20 games with it. Among the favorites that I played were:
1. Zarlor Mercenary
2. Rampage
3. Paperboy
4. California Games
5. Ninja Gaiden
Frank Sisson I’m such a big fan of Todd’s Adventures in Slime world, and Gates of Zendocon by the same designer. Those games are some of my all time favorites in their genres, being Metroid style explorer, and multiple path space shooters
Duck behind the mail box to avoid the building explosion in Batman Returns. I played this to death as a kid. Wonderful vid!
Now THIS is the biggest crossover in the UA-cam Cinematic Universe.
I was just about to type that same message, I can confirm, Yes just keep running, don't stop and kneal down behind the mailbox.
Mr Sunday Movies - Was going to say that... (In your voice) “Your always stealing other people’s thunda!!!” :-)
In The Gates of Zendocon you don't have to land your ship between stages. That's only if you want to get a new ship. If you don't, just go to the right straight to the next stage.
Yeah, unfortunately the other 90 sticks of dynamite thrown at you during the level are less easy to avoid.
I had that game and it was a soul-crushing experience. Not fun after the 10th attempt, and the cartridge went to live under the couch forever.
This news has actually made me a little sad. Good luck with whatever you get up to now Dave. I hope you come back for semi-frequent guest appearances at least!
you'll be missed Dave, but on the other hand, thx for keep up Joe.

Joe will clone himself like what LGR did for himself. It might lead to some regretful side effects.

The real reason Dave is leaving is that chronic back pain from carrying the XBox Duke upstairs.
That was a plot twist at the end that you couldn't have predicted, you will be missed Dave!
is dave dying?
Molcos Duran - yes, Joe stabbed him with a sewing needle laced with ricin at the end of the episode.
My heart is absolutely broken man. I'll never miss a UA-camr the way I miss one of you two from this show!
Been watching this for about half a decade now and I love this show to heaven and hell and back...
Much love and respect for all the good times you gave me/us!
The layer-separated transitions here look so frickin' cool! Hell of a neat trick, Joe. Now, onto the heavier thoughts I want to communicate tonight.
I've been watching Game Sack since you were ScrewAttack G1s, before this channel had even 1000 subs. It has, and will continue to be something I look forward to brightening my days. Here stands a true fan, and while time moves on and all things must eventually end, I'll fly your colors until that end finally comes. You never disappoint.
So, bless you, Dave. We'll always love you and your dynamic with Joe, combat-forged veterans of the one true console war. Thank you for everything you've brought to this show and for just being you. My biggest regret is not being able to meet you both at all those conventions you went to and I couldn't. We wish you good fortune in the games to come, and hope your retirement gives you the time you need for your loved ones and to unwind. We're missing you already. Work-life-hobby balance is super important, but if you're burning out, it's time to bow out gracefully, or risk preventable harm to yourself. We'll never forget and never stop loving you, and we'll cheer from the bottom of our hearts on the off-chance you pop up again...
...but if Game Sack turns into Makeup-n-Shoes with Joe and Jen, I swear to God I'm comin' to Colorado to kick some Sacks, yeah.

Great choice of games. 80's is technically correct (launched September 1989), definitely an 90's handheld though.
@@ianwalters451 thanks.
Wel let's make it early nineties. It was my second gaming machine after the c64. It was really impressive back then.
Also Dave... The last couple episodes I sensed your heart wasn’t really in it. When that happens it’s best to move on. I hope you make some guest appearances now and then but focus on what makes you happy. Thanks for the great memories... Wait, I just realized we’re stuck with Joe now... HOW COULD YOU DAVE?????
First it was Greg leaving Console Wars, now Dave is leaving GameSack. All my favorite shows are taking a hit! And it's always the Nintendo guys too, proving once and for all that SEGA is better...
Anyway, best of lucks to Dave. And hey, at least keep doing the odd ending skit together, c'mon!
alter ego nintendo people have lives and families, sega people are pitiful forever alone nerds
hmm let's see Nintendo has a shit load of money and STILL is making consoles while SEGA is broke and can't make consoles and make shitty sonic games hmmm yeah SEGA SUCKS!!
@@almostliterally593 Families are overrated. Anybody can have a family. Even monkeys have them. But in order to build civilizations, you have to be driven, you have to be able to see things trough, you have to get things done. That's where we SEGA guys come in.
Seeegaaaaaaaa!
This has always been one of my favorite shows and Dave will be missed. I'll still be watching though. Hopefully he can show up from time to time.
You'll be missed Dave. Hopefully in the future you'll have a little extra time and you'll be able to play with your sac.
Lol
Dave, go home and be a family man.
but if Dave does that, he will never defeat sheng long to stand a chance!
He defeated Sheng Long and is going home now
@@molcosduran1076 All I can think of is one word - Karma - look it up.
And standing up for your family instead of Internet fame is pretty much defeating the modern world standards.
And tbh I think people who wish you gat cancer don't deserve your time anyway.
That said Cheers to you Dave and get happy what ever may come!
Nooo my favorite couple on UA-cam is breaking up : (
Its like when Handsome Tom left Stuttering Craig.
@@Rych3rInLyf3 or when Kenny went to prison in Half Baked!
Thanks for all the hard work you put into Game Sack Dave. I am sad to see you go, but totally understand. You need to put your family and well being ahead of keeping us nostalgic nerds happy. I'm going to continue watching Game Sack, and look forward to guest appearances in the future.
38 Minutes of Game Sack, that means it's Miller time!
We'll miss you, Dave. And whats going to happen to the after end credits scenes without Dave?
Perhaps Jen will step in?
saizerboy - Joe has learned how to clone himself from Classic Game Room and “Nintendo Joe” will keep trying to steal that Snatcher. Oh, and Greendog....
@@LannaDru Joe and Jen haven't been together for a while now
@@CristianGouget Dang, I'm out of the loop.
I really hope Joe still goes to Dave's house and keeps beating him up and taking his stuff
I am actually impressed with the graphical capabilities of the Lynx
Joey JoJo - It was truly amazing for the time!
There is something about the mis-match of the really powerful scaling and sprite capability and the low color selection and resolution that made the developers do some interesting stuff.
@@matmacsug
proof or gtfo
Truly an under appreciated device at the time. I used to have one and now I wish I had another...
I believe that as a handheld it only used conventional batteries that didn't last very long at all, probably one of it's biggest flaws. That certainly stopped me from purchasing one.
Wow. Didn't expect that!
Dave, thank you so much for all your hard work! It's been an amazing run and I wish you all the best for the future!
I'm really going to miss you Dave, Game Sack won't be the same without you. Thank you so much for the years of great entertainment you gave us and I wish you the best!
Watching this lynx review I can't help to think that in some ways, the lynx was ahead of its time 🙂🤔👍
many ways
It was. It could do things in Hardware like sprite scaling that the Megadrive couldn't do without special programming. Contra is a good example of the Megadrive pulling it off.
Without Dave is not going to be the same, not worse or better, just different.
Anyway, I hope Dave enjoys his family and his life as he wants and more. If someday wants to come back, we'll recieve him with open arms :)
Joe should find another partner
Pretty sure you are supposed to duck behind the mailbox in Batman Returns.
Yes but you still take damage. Not a lot, but damage indeed.
Thank you Dave for all the hard work you put into so many episodes over the years. You will be missed! Best wishes to you and your family, and good luck to Joe flying solo!
Batman Returns: you can hide your head behind the mailbox during the explosion and you will keep all your health.
Gauntlet: Option1 at the beginning of stage 1 to skip 5 levels. I think you can reach level 25 or so doing this.
Fun fact: Mobile Phones are called " handy" in Germany... weird i know
Germans are a strange bunch. DEUTSCHLAND!
Really should have included APB, Rampage, & Rampart... very very good conversions.
Ah shoot... We're all gonna miss you Dave! Best of luck on your future endeavors!!!
😥
Still on my first full watchthrough and I knew this was coming but didn't know when 😢
So long Dave, thanks for all the fish!
Dave is such a swell guy, things will not be the same without him. He should start a vlog series of his time with his family.
Lynx was sooo cool when it first came out! It was so powerful, but nobody had it :( I wanted one so bad
So long Dave, good luck finding a copy of Snatcher out there.
best of luck, dave!
4:30 You squat down in front of the mail box, that's how you avoid the explosion and damage.
Damn dude, it’s gonna be a tough watch without Dave. You guys are awesome together. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors good sir, and thanks for all the great episodes
Wish you all the best and good luck, Dave!
Godspeed, Dave. We'll miss you!
Man...what a sad day. Even knowing that Dave is a Nintendo lover (Die Nintendo) We will miss you. Greetings from Brazil.
Uma brazuca que curte gamesack, algo que não se vê todo dia. Saudações de Florianópolis.
Thank you Dave for everything you did to entertain us and review games.I'm grateful to get to meet you guys at PRGE 2015.I'm the guy with the Mario shirt who gifted you guys the amiibo's.
Please don't leave Dave! You guys are my favorite show! Thank you for all your hard work. I know how stuff it is to maintain a channel. I couldn't even do it for a month.
In the Batman game, you can protect you from the blast behind the mail box (stay crouch) :)
Lynx was a great system! Some of the best arcade ports for sure. Dave doesn’t like KLAX?!?! It’s the best port of the arcade, hands down! Oh well Joe. At least you won’t have to worry about him stealing your Snatcher any more! Strange timing especially after Greg left Console Wars... Joe could use a new partner too. Might I suggest... Ok, not me because I don’t live in Colorado but someone cool like me. ;-)
Love ya, Dave, thanks for all the laughs. You're alright too, Joe.
Dec 1 2019 - I found out Dave left Game Sacks. Damn.
I guess as time goes by there will changes to be had, all is good Joe is still around.
Gonna miss you Dave, thanks to you (and Joe) for all the years of entertainment. Great stuff, funny and informative. Plus you saved me a fortune as your trips down memory lane, are enough to stop me developing a massive retro habit of my own.
I think with the Lynx it should be obligatory to mention that you showed the Lynx II and the original model was even bigger and bulkier
Sad to see you go, Dave...
