Love these guys especially their themed videos and they're videos are naturally light hearted and funny. It doesn't feel.like.they are trying too hard with their humour.
Yeah. They're being intentionally corny and they know it lol.

One of my favorite channels! Oddly enough, I fall asleep to these dudes as well. My favorite episode was the one where they covered games with "attitude". They got all 80's/90's radical in that one. Really educational shows. You can learn so much that you missed growing up.
I'd definitely be into finding other, similar channels.

Darn that sucks... Only a few eps in and they are still featured. Was hoping that they would be featured all throughout.
I absolutely love Game Sack's videos. Look forward to them each week. I love their style and positivity. You can really tell they love games and all. Them and Metal Jesus Rocks are probably my favorite gaming channels right now. Also classic game room and Avgn are great too. But I really love watching more upbeat and positive videos these days without a doubt. Too many YouTube channels have way too much of a negative/always arguing/know it all mentality these days that I've gotten sick of quite a lot of youtube gaming personalities this past year cause of it. But these guys are some of the best for sure and their videos are always entertaining.

who's "they"? Game Sack had a falling out?? :o
Just watched that latest episode and thought it was great!
I'm trying to archive every episode so I have something to fall asleep to. lol
I think he means that the GameSack guys had a falling out with The Video Game Years.

Specifically Pat the NES Punk who was/is a producer on the show over some shot re-edits.
He was on an episode of Angry Video Game Nerd, due to the fact that he owns a copy of Nintendo World Championships.
He was also on an episode of Pawn Stars (which is as fake as pro wrestling, BTW), pretending like he wanted to sell NWC to a pawn shop because he needs the money.
Been watching this the last few days. This and Guru Larry are my current faves. So much nerdy goodness.
The video that made me LMAO is the '90s 'Tude Era'

Great episode. I didn't even know there was a Shinobi game on the PS2.
My ideal HD remaster would be the PS3 Motorstorm Trilogy. I used to fucking love those games. We're so starved of arcadey racers like it today, too.

Shinobi on the PS2 is pretty underrated. It is hard as nails as well. It would be great to see Shinobi PS2 and Night Shade get re-releases.

Though I was the only one played their video on my bed before sleep :p
That being said, their video is really good and more often than not I battled my sleepiness instead on some games that I deemed really interesting. Their positive outlook really helps the channel being shooting, friendly, and informative.
I was always impressed they managed to port Resident Evil to the GameBoy Color, even if it never got released. I remember playing Alone in the Dark on the GBC and that was seriously impressive for what it was, too.
With the amount of us that actually fall asleep to their soothing voices, I hope that one day they'll pick up on this being a thing and making a "sleepy games" episode where they overact being tired/yawning/falling asleep/etc :p

I'm very sad that they are friends with that cringie dirt bag AlphaOmegaSin. Don't know if unsub or not. Really enjoy their videos :s

I haven't seen an AlphaOmegaSin video in a couple of years. Did he do something bad?

What was the falling out over?
Dude's a gamergate and is one of those people who belittles anyone who complain about controversial topic, like racism in gaming in gaming as SJW.
He is not a nice man.
My favourite Game Sack video has got to be the one they made on the X68000. Introduced me to the system and I've been interested in it ever sense.
Lost a little bit of respect for them after their Ys episodes, but still like them.

Yeah, he is a full on gamergater and proud of it.
If you don't want to give Alphaomegasin any clicks, Shaun did a video about Cuphead that features the guy creating a fake outrage on the spot about the game. That's the kind of content you can expect from aos.

Great episode this week.
I wasn't even aware of that Eternal Champions spin-off. My friends and I used to play that a lot back in the early 90s and actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't dare play it today though as i imagine its an awful game in reality.

I didn't know they still made videos. They had a break and I never saw them again. Maybe I got fucked by a YouTube sub bug.
Always the best cameo to see :p One of their best eps was when they dressed up as the other Youtube game reviewers.
Oh lord that episode is still legendary. The epic Irate Gamer Parody was the best part of the episode and will forever be one of the best moments on their channel. Hoping their third Blu Ray launches soon, too since it's been a year since the second one...
While AOS is a big jerkface and I can't stand him at all, I think people are being a bit crazy by disliking Game Sack just because they're on good/neutral terms with a fellow big youtuber. Most of the time GS's skits are amusing as all get out and their brutal honesty on things is at least not in the same vein as people use claim to be brutally honest for the sake of being a jerk. (Not to mention the fact that said cameos are usually quick and few and far between) Joe and Dave are great people, and even though Joe is more stern than Dave, I don't think either are deserving of any petty boycotts from sensitivity or whatnot. If someone happens to dislike one of their special guests, then just bear through the section nevertheless since their cameos usually aren't that long to begin with. (or in the case of their blu-rays where AOS and others like Classic Game Room and HCG give commentary, don't listen to their commentaries, simple) From what I gather anyhow they seemed to have befriended him back before he went into full blown "Mad over everything and stirring up false outrage" territory that ruined AOS's channel, so at least it wasn't just because of his false outrage.
Speaking of outrage, I recall that Game Sack caused a lot of people throw fits about their first N64 episode back in the day as neither of them were fans of the system due to the small library, which almost led to them killing the show due to how much backlash they got. (Hence the whole part two they made of it despite being one of their longer episodes) Very glad they didn't cave into sensitivity then and also that they went and looked at the more obscure N64 games in part 2 to make up for it. I'll still continue to enjoy Game Sack's for being high quality, well made gaming reviews for years to come unless they flat out do something stupid on purpose over and over again.

Alpha Omega Sin is a huge blackmark on the retro gaming community, dude is a giant manbaby who belittles everyone with a different opinion than him. No idea how people I once enjoyed (game sack/happy console gamer) continue to associate and colloborate with him, though game sack has always had their share of "DARNED SJWS RUINING GAMES" comments that felt misguided and kind of sad, I always marked that up to them being older/out of touch.
Hearing about a falling out with Pat makes me a little more suspect, I'm not even a huge fan of the Pat the NES Punk show but his podcast is very good. He strikes me as a level headed dude who generally means well so anyone with beef towards him and continues to associate with AOS is kind of suspect lol
Great idea for this week's episode. They look at the best and worst entries in particular franchises.
