Console Crunch #1 - Game Sack

[@GameSack]

So to answer some questions that so far nobody is really asking but I wanna give answers to anyway: These will only be released in off weeks and not in lieu of new content. Also I only plan on releasing one of these maybe once every 2 months at most. It also helps UA-cam see that the channel is alive so maybe Game Sack won't get buried in the almighty overseeing algorithm... well not AS buried anyway. To answer the question you're asking in your head YES I'm in my underwear as I type this. Wait... you're not asking that?

[@FreakNasty52]

You're such a nerd. Oh crap, I'm in my underwear too :(

[@matbat5652]

White underwear?

[@basteagui]

bring back playin with sacks and have dave over. it doesn't take more than 45 minutes to record. we could do with 30.

[@DukeDudeston]

I assumed this was an off-week series.
I also assumed you were in your underwear when you posted this announcement. Dunno why just seemed natural.

[@bildo1977]

TMI!!!! lol 😝

[@ronindebeatrice]

Aww look at little baby Joe and Dave. They're so cute 😍

Well "cute" is ehm different

WE WANT ANOTHER PLAYIN WITH SACKS WITH DAVE, AT LEAST ONCE BI-MONTHLY

Pissing down with rain in the UK now. This will do nicely!

[@lordsosa9383]

nah no you dont
you like them videos short so you can stay up all night punk
because i said so im 7 feet tall 320 pounds you dont wanna disagree with me boy

[@TheFireRed]

Great idea for binge watching! I tend to re-watch episodes anyway so this is a blessing to play while I'm doing housechores or working :)

[@shoesifergmr5182]

I miss dave. The different perspectives on games and systems was my favorite part. Game sack is still one of the best shows on youtube!

[@shoesifergmr5182]

[@MungkaeX]

shoesifer GMR editing is one of those jobs that never get the recognition they deserve. It’s something that most people won’t notice until it’s being done poorly.

[@AndyTunstall]

Great idea, Joe! I've been painting a lot lately and it's nice to throw something like this on in the background to help me relax.

[@gochasingwaterfalls9970]

I love Dave’s “now this is more like it” narrations!

[@felman87]

I actually really like your hardware breakdowns. I've even edited down just the hardware breakdowns into a single video file. I've ordered them by release dates, so we can see the hardware evolution over time. It's fascinating, especially considering how different hardware was between consoles.
Even among the same generation there were big differences, like Nintendo not using a Motorola 68000 chip, a processor common among arcade machines, whereas most competitors were focused on bringing the arcade experience home so they used a chip from that family. Nowadays things are pretty similar. I mean, look at PS4 vs X1. There are far more similarities between the two consoles than there are differences.

[@FatNorthernBigot]

The console rundown is always my favorite part of Gamesack. Great video!

[@RoyAlWhicheez]

As a long time fan, listening to Dave read his scripts from here/beginning is crazy. He got sooooo much better from then until he had to leave

[@CliffConway]

This was such a cool compilation. I always love the "tongue in cheek" dialog/banter between you two. Such good chemistry.

[@jacobreed47]

I love these gamesack episodes. At work , I Bluetooth the audio to my single earbud, then enjoy hours of great content.
THANKS Game Sack!

[@paulnewhouse5126]

This is great Joe, thanks! i like to put stuff like this on in the morning when i'm gaming or doing something else!

[@coolen]

My favorite joke in all of Game Sack is Dave getting pissed off about pyramids on other planets

[@kahncrane]

So I downloaded this...and I'll tell you why..I picture myself an old man in the hospital, 30-40 years from now, enjoying my archived Game Sack ep's. Thanks Joe from my older self..P.S. and Dave

[@JoolsGuitar]

Game Sack is magic. I don't know how these bland average Joes (lol) project so much charisma. I freaking love this channel. Thanx Joe for all your dedication

[@IllegalPriest]

Dave: “even Michelle Obama”
Always the weirdest moment on this channel

[@darrnellnott07]

Lest you not forget:
"You have your Wonder Boy in my Adventure Island!"

[@MungkaeX]

Illegal Priest Michelle Obama was always known as a huge fan of retro gaming, but also a self admitted noob as she didn’t have the time to research her passion for it. She would regularly ask guests of the White House what their favorite retro console was and their favorite game for it.
It’s a pity that when Melania moved in, she gutted the retro game room to make room for a McDonalds.
Some lucky dumpster diver had quite the field day in January of 2016. Or at least that’s what I hope.

I have to say, this "Crunch" series speaks volumes of the overall quality of your channel. Maybe it's the whole apocalypse thing, but I found myself watching the entire thing, with great interest. May have taken me three days, but good watch nonetheless. 👊🏾

[@Pantheroful]

I got this system for Christmas in 1990, not long after release. It was the first 16-bit generation system I owned, and I went on to do the whole trading thing to switch to Genesis, then SNES. As it turned out, I was the only one in my group of friends to have this system, and they got their laughs poking fun at me while they enjoyed a ton of both brand and licensed releases as I waited for the Japanese ports I was SURE would come over to North America... But, never did. I had my system converted by a downtown video game shop, and so was able to play PC-Engine games directly on the system. The shop person had to pry it out of my hands when I traded it in for a Genesis with games. It is the one system that I absolutely regret letting go of along with the ton of NA and Japanese games that I traded with it. Should have kept it... After I cycled through them all, I bought a TurboDuo - that I still have packed in its original box and plastic.

[@bald_engineer]

I'm on board with these formats. You have a lot of cool series that would fit well into this format. Playlists are fine, but they are harder to "save" your position between sessions. With this format, it is much easier for me to close the window and later pick-up right up where I left. I don't have to remember which playlist I was using, which episode I was, and where in the episode.
