Games We've Always Wanted to Talk About - Game Sack

[@weeseet]

That McDonalds game makes me want a "Kids' Games That Don't Suck" episode.

[@larrybrin4937]

+1

[@ryanamberger]

Hell yeAh. That's an awesome episode idea. Hopefully you get a lot of likes so they see it.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

Meow good kitty, *pets you* that's a very solid episode topic you got there.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

Punchi Bunch nope, anti-drug games generally suck, cept for NARC

[@zanegandini5350]

Meow Like Toy Story on the Genesis, I feel like they've already covered it but it would be perfect for an episode like that.

[@StiffKun]

I get that your guys "dry" humor is kind of a running gag at this point, but i never understood the people who say that it sucks. I like it. Lets be honest were all nerds here otberwise we wouldnt fucking be here, besides whoever is looking at your videos for comedic reasons is on the wrong ficking side of youtube. TLDR: Gamesack is fucking awesome. Keep it up guys.

[@tetrisdave]

Ethan Games Thanks!

[@ssjup81]

Ethan Games Yeah, I love their dry-witted humor. That's what makes the show for me as well as their bantering at times. It's funny. Wish I could watch this one, though. Still don't have a good internet connection yet. One more week and they'll finally install it. The video is just buffering for me. T_T

[@mariecarie1]

I actually liked Game Sack's responses to Pat more than Pat himself. "I'm trying Pat...I just have no personality." Lol

[@ItsTheFizz]

I swear Kilbane hasn't aged a day since his MADtv days... Must be all that healthy humor exercise...

[@Chaos89P]

Michael Scally They say "laughter is the best medicine."

[@ih7729]

That was not even close to wit. Stop.

[@Nerubize]

Pat Kilbane from mad tv? damn this guy totally rocks great episode

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

You guys are great and you don't need gimmicks like a 'Humor Coach' to make me watch

[@HeathenDeluxe]

Bobby Lawson It's obviously a gag.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

HeathenDeluxe I found myself getting annoyed every time he the 'Humor Coach' showed up

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Bobby Lawson Why did it bother you so much? tell me in great detail don't leave anything out!

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

HappyConsoleGamer It was just annoying and took me out of the episode. They don't need stuff like that to be good.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

I thought it was funny and well placed!

[@MurraySwe]

I like dry humour though. It reminds me of RedLetterMedia.

[@odinsplaygrounds]

MurraySwe Hah, I love RLM. And I love Game Sack without this extra gimmick.

[@kristina80ification]

Odin's Playground you people are making too much of a big deal out of this, they do one episode gags like this every once in a while. They might not always work (like this one) but they usually never use them again regardless.

[@bdrenfro]

There's humor? Where?

[@neon_redd4349]

About the McDonald's game: Treasure wouldn't exist if they hadn't developed that game. They initially lacked the financial resources to develop even a single game, so they developed Treasure Land Adventures to attain funding for their first original IP, Gunstar Heroes. The two games were made side-by-side, and Gunstar Heroes was finished/released 3 weeks sooner just so that they could call it their true debut title.

[@packpock4369]

Yes the McDonald's game launched them into the stratosphere. It's funny the team actually made Axelay working at Konami and left to start Treasure. So when you really think about it they were one of the first Indie teams to really become a successful franchise.

[@russellgolden7546]

@YuckFouTubeXDevs get paid by hitting development milestones, not from sales.

[@dougbostick2299]

I was just watching the Seinfeld episode where Pat Kilbane plays the Anti-Kramer, Feldman. I was looking him up, and remember liking him on MadTV when I was a kid. Glad to see he's still around!

[@mylifeingaming]

[Coury] so many good games in this episode, it's crazy. I've played and loved just about every single one besides Loaded.

[@GameSack]

***** F Loaded. Dave wanted to talk about it, though. F Dave. But I'll leave that to Eric.

[@MrSerpico145]

Game Sack I'm in the same boat as Dave. Was hyped to get it, and since it was an early ps1 game, I was easily amused. I like the game for the nostalgia, really.

[@tetrisdave]

***** Hi Coury!

[@mylifeingaming]

Game Sack Dave I really connected with your Mega Man segment. Its my favorite game in the series, and I love the music more than any other entry as well. I rented it along with the first Zelda and during Memorial Day weekend when I was 9, and didn't even touch Zelda the entire time.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

Game Sack Dave [about Muramasa] "I only wish this game were on the PS3 as this game would look even better in HD". It's on Vita has a physical release that's only $20, and the Vita version of Muramasa is compatible with the Vita TV (PlayStation TV). There it runs in 720p widescreen and allows you to remap the controls to whatever you want. The Vita version also looks even better (doesn't have the weird anti alias effects AND it's also got a whole bunch of extra bonus content that was planned but not put into the Wii original. If you don't have one, you should consider buying a PlayStation TV for the many wonderful Vita games that make excellent retro style console experiences just like Muramasa.

[@GameSack]

Satoshi Matrix I talked about Muramasa, not Dave. But anyway yeah the PS TV does output a 720p signal, but all of the games are upscaled. PS Vita resolution is 960x544. Still though I imagine it does look better than the Wii version which is limited to 720x480.

[@RarefoilB]

Game Sack Don't take it too hard. I hard a hard time telling you two apart in voice in the beginning too. It's what happens with every internet show I've watched.

[@GameSack]

RarefoilB Oh I didn't take it as an insult. I imagine most people who haven't watched the show for a while yet mix us up. It happens. No biggie.

[@SatoshiMatrix1]

Game Sack Sorry Joe! That was a careless mistake. I'll edit my comment. Yes, I'm aware games on the Vita TV are upscaled (I own one) but still......960x544 > 720x480 and 720p > 480p. And this all assumes you play with the Vita TV. Put it on an actual Vita and Muramasa is breathtakingly gorgeous.

[@GameSack]

Satoshi Matrix Yeah I do own a Vita and a PS TV. If I see Muramasa for a good price I'll be sure to get it! :) I wish the PS TV got more love in terms of compatible games.

[@MasterMaulz419]

Love being drunk at 2 am and finding out you guys posted a video.

[@MasterMaulz419]

P.s. you're humor is unique and fine how it is.

[@christiancorchado2971]

Watching Dave play that McDonald's game opened my eyes to the potential of Ronald in a super smash brothers game. Oh and that slap at the end, priceless.

[@DEEdavE]

my phone alerts me when u guys upload a new video, i never told it to do that, but im not complaining at all either

[@davideselvi3906]

Be thankful man

[@williammatthewsbts]

To be honest, I prefer this channel to other retro gaming channels because its not all humor and joking around. Game Sack videos don't seem "silly" at all and I love that. Please don't change. Please keep up the good work being very thorough and informative.

[@Hellwyck]

Superb slap from Dave - 10 points!

[@fiatlux8828]

I've always liked your "dry humor". It has a certain charm to it.

[@dodgykebaab]

Apart from the humour coach it was a great video as normal guys. Please never include him again, your jokes are just fine

[@rodmunch69]

Some nerds just can't handle anything new.

[@Killahfam69]

You guys always post a video for me to watch at the right time thank you Gamesack

[@daric_]

Saw the thumbnail and immediately recognized Pat Kilbane. Loved him on MAD TV. Guy is hilarious.

[@videogamefhiend792]

Gamefan! Best gaming magazine ever. I miss that magazine. Great episode as usual guys. I wish you put out more than once every 2 weeks.

[@joeborisson4609]

Your humour is fine, gentlemen, the critics can all drink petrol.

[@BloodyEyeGamer]

Game Sack makes the greatest videos by far....great work guys!!! :)

[@Jenovi]

Awesome episode guys! Loved the inclusion of Pat, and the episode topic was great. I hope we see a part 2.

[@TharenCandi]

Great episode, funny ending skit and ouch that slap must have hurt...

[@GameSack]

Tharen Candi It was real!

[@TharenCandi]

Game Sack oooouuuccchhh.

[@Zeldaschampion]

Game Sack How many takes did it take to get that right?

[@GameSack]

Zeldas Champion I think 3 or 4.

[@tetrisdave]

Tharen Candi Yeah my hand was stinging after a couple good slaps. Thanks.

[@UncleVictor]

Time to cook up some Pizza Rolls and grab a Corona!

[@This-country-sucks-4]

Ikr

[@DomnioEffect]

***** whos been messing with my meds again

[@ezehogan]

Uncle Victor don’t say Corona

[@yittmashups]

1:22 - Awesome! I just got into this series recently; never expected to see it in a Game Sack episode!

[@glynng4]

I like the humor in the show. Yeah.its dry and corny a good bit but thats what i like about it. Also its pretty clean for the most part. Show me any other game channel that doesn't cuss every other word. Like in the Saturn episode with the golf game. It was dry but hilarious. Keep it up guys i like it just the way y'all make it.

[@ericjohnson6634]

That Demon Souls sword looks like a gigantic version of the disposable wrench that comes with unassembled IKEA furniture.

[@MrKasenom]

"Fucking Windows"; Great episode, but please no more humor coach, ever.

[@brothercannon]

You hit the nail on the head with your comments about Loaded.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Pat is hot!

[@tetrisdave]

HappyConsoleGamer Yeah it's the mustache right? Got me too.

[@hallihallo7777]

Game Sack Dave How did you get Pat, one of the best MAD TV actors, to join you?! I am stunned...respect. A proof of taste + good humor.

[@ItsYoYoHo]

***** Well somebody was sensitive enough to erase my comment which I was only joking around.

[@GameSack]

LittleGojira What comment was that? I haven't deleted any comments.

[@ItsYoYoHo]

Game Sack I know you didn't erase my comment.

[@briteboy6131]

nice Pat Kilbane cameos! I've personally got my fingers crossed for Craig Staddler next time!

[@metfan4l]

Great episode! (The Humor Coach was a complete fail though.)

[@highspeedenthusiast6628]

Gargoyles Quest definitely went overlooked for quite some time

[@Swan-may]

At first I was going to compliment you for stepping up your game on the voice work, but that slap both caught me off guard AND left me laughing like an idiot. Well done!

[@Ronoras21]

Nice to see something different guys keep it up so far so good.

[@douglasharris4295]

Keep the comfy corniness going. It fits the aesthetic and theme of the show.

[@MidniteClimax]

You guys are great AND funny. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Don't ever change!

[@gamesackfan9893]

Dave, how did it feel slapping Joe and how often do you do that? Btw, I might be in the minority but I like your sense of humor (both of you)!

[@tetrisdave]

Game Sackfan Hey cool name! Well I slap Joe all the time so I was able to get it done in one shot. You would think that slapping him so many times would make the fun depreciate but it doesn't. Every slap is so refreshing.

[@BluBoulzor]

Game Sack Dave You went too hard that time what if he fell on some games/system and broke them!!!

[@gamesackfan9893]

Game Sack Dave Thanks for the compliment and your great work on this channel! Now I understand why Joe's face looks a bit red sometimes! it's because of your constant slapping LoL!

[@Undone007]

The Super Mario World Bowser x Rage Against the Machine combo shirt is pretty unbelievably sexy

[@MrJechgo]

*Demon's Souls*: Hard Games *Mega Man*: Capcom Classics *Downhill Domination* / *Urban Trial Extreme*: Extreme Sports Games *Whomp Em*: Games with international changes *Ys Origins*: JRPG Games part X *McDonalds Treasureland Adventure*: Games based on commercial properties *Muramasa: The Demon Blade*: Vanillaware Games *Loaded*: Violent Games *Dragon's Crown*: Vanillaware Games *Gargoyle's Quest*: Capcom Classics Here ya go :P

[@GameSack]

MrJechgo Thanks?

[@MrJechgo]

Game Sack Well, you guys were telling us that you picked these games because you didn't know in what kind of episode you could talk about them. So I decided to give you ideas of subjects for later episodes where you could re-talk about these games ;)

[@GameSack]

MrJechgo Yeah I know. :)

[@applebloom2207]

I'm glad I stayed up. new game sack.

[@wolvsbain]

demons souls was the reason I bought a ps3.

[@vvlvmusic]

Same here! I even drove quite a bit to a game store that had the limited deluxe edition. It honestly was the only game i had for the PS3 for months.

[@losalfajoresok]

wolvsbain I don't know why but I couldn't keep playing after 12 hours. However I played 108 hours of Dark Souls and I'm in the 61th hour of Dark Souls 2, both games which I consider masterpieces. I should return some day to Demons.

[@TheLastLineLive]

Yep same here, when I bought my ps3 the Gamestop rep assumed I was there for Uncharted 2... Nope!

[@TechHippie]

Always have to watch the videos to the end for the skits. You guys are great!

[@craigluft2373]

Game Sack's humor has always been one of the best things about the show. If there isn't a joke to make, they don't force it. The peppering of mildly funny lines has always been nice, but every once in a while there's a humongous laugh. "Game Force Boulder is conveniently located 1.3 miles from where Jonbenet Ramsay was brutally murdered"

[@TheFreakRocker]

I tho we wouldnt be getting an episode ths weekend!! but its here!!! what a great way to enjoy breakfast..GO GAMESACK!!!

[@lactobacillusprime]

Shame that the 'Loaded' game hasn't got a twin stick shooter control scheme... There's a lot of PS1 games that would have been amazing if they had dual shock compatibility.

[@tetrisdave]

lactobacillusprime That would have been nice but it does have a strafe feature which helps a lot.

[@BarendCombrink]

Are people really complaining about the humor in these episodes? I hope not, because I enjoy the dry wit quite a lot. Muramasa: The Demon Blade and Dragon's Crown look really good. I liked Odin Sphere on PS2, so they look like games I'd enjoy.

[@PriceAintRight]

Lol saying Game Sack's humor is dry is missing the point. The entire shtick would appear to be local broadcast television. The problem with that I suppose is that most of these kids don't have a clue what that is. Most of them probably don't remember what non digital television is like. We old folks love you, Game Sack. xD

[@aradiobox]

Arii Price +1

[@marshy9948]

I think they're hilarious, but I didn't think they were going for the "public access" look.

[@FallicIdol]

People like them because they are less polished than some of the other hotshot punks on KZbin. These guys are real. Just regular guys talking about video games.

[@martincostilla5163]

Ha just got home drunk from the bar, just what I need while eating!

[@PeteSkerritt]

Episodes like this are fun catch-alls because there are always fun/interesting games that don't always fall under a specific theme/genre. Seeing Downhill Domination covered was timely because I had just spent some time with it, myself. It impressed me how smoothly the game ran, and it felt like an expansion of the Road Rash or Skitchin' ideas-- but with cool modifiers like changing weather conditions and faster speeds. I still do prefer Road Rash... but imagine if it was as well technically as Downhill Domination! Whoa. I still haven't beaten the original Mega Man. I should probably rectify that someday. I've really struggled when I've tried to play it; for me, the difficulty has always felt just a bit too high and it isn't long before I shut off the game & move to something else. I absolutely loved the ending here. Poor Joe. Thanks again for your hard work and for delivering another fun episode. You guys rule.

[@thecowboy2]

Muramasa is one of my personal favorites. The cooking element adds a little strategy of its own with the 2 types of foods - baked foods that can be stored for boss battles, and hot pot foods that have to be eaten immediately.

[@shymickey6]

Muramasa is just a pretty game to look at. Nothing more. Such a boring game.

[@CyrusCageSCWS]

man that ending kicked me right in the gamesack

[@CyrusCageSCWS]

also.. you dudes are cool. I love how dry and informative you are.. I hate youtubers trying to be funny

[@a3HeadedMonkey]

I love how your response to your cheesy humour, is MORE cheesy humour. :'D

[@GameSack]

a3HeadedMonkey ^^^ This guy gets it, folks!

[@Kassandraoftraken]

Downhill Domination reminds me of a BMX version of SSX!

[@RetroCore]

Some great games in this episode sauch as Muramasa but I'm not too keen on the "Special" guest. Sort of put me off a little.

[@Louis83TV]

That BMX drawing is adorable.

[@jessemathies4512]

So great to see a Madd TV reference in one of my favorite KZbin channels. Great episode!

[@AFKei]

Just a note on Dragon's Crown, not all of the characters drop their weapon. I played as Sorceress and the staff stays in her hand.

[@ryanamberger]

Your so freaking awesome Dave!!!

[@tetrisdave]

Ryan Amberger Hey Thanks!

[@Vojingamer]

+Game Sack Dave That profile pic tho XD

[@TG5455]

Hey I remember Pat from MADtv nice to see him again as you're humor coach.

[@batmandx]

Pat kil-fucking-bane That alone makes this video awesome

[@Floating.Point.]

LOLOLOLOLOL THE BITCHSLAP AT THE END! :B Lawl I'm dying.

[@nobel11]

Great episode guys! I love Pat Kilbane, and did not expect to ever see him on Game Sack. Thanks for the awesome surprise! Love the ending. I laughed so hard, it hurt.

[@REzado63]

Could you guys please do an episode on large, open world sandbox games? And or games with large world maps with many destinations to discover and play through? Thanks GameSack, You're the best!

[@jasonlashman3507]

I personally really enjoy your dry wit. Thanks for doing the show and keep up the great work.P.S. Pat Kilbane is mega hilarious though.

[@vincentizghra6144]

I wonder if I'm the only one watching this in 144p thinking that it fits brilliantly.

[@kdsburneraccount7476]

I loved the Humor Coach bits.

[@Zeldaschampion]

I only used the Mega Man glitch on the one eyed boss on Dr. Wily's stage.

[@tetrisdave]

Zeldas Champion After a while I just couldn't help myself and used it all the time.

[@Zeldaschampion]

Game Sack Dave I remember playing that during the summer and finally getting up to that boss and was like how the hell do you beat this thing. I got so far already. Thankfully my cousin told me about that bug during a barbeque and I finally was able to beat the game.

[@UltimateGamerCC]

Zeldas Champion that bug is so game breaking, it was good of you to not abuse it.

[@nights1515]

Woah! Awesome to see Pat back he was one of the best in Mad TV! Sucks he never made it big.

[@Walczyk]

Yeah seriously! He really should do more

[@somedudefromTX]

I love you guys' personalities. Great video!

[@NIProductionsLLC]

Pat Kilbane is Now officially my new Hero!!!!

[@WalcomS7]

Odin Sphere, Dragon's Crown, Muramasa... Anybody have any idea when Vanillaware will announce their next game? Let me just google how to spell George Kamitani's name correctly and- "ODIN'S SPHERE DEVELOPER TO REVEAL NEW 'HD' GAME TOMORROW POSTED 7 MINUTES AGO" HOLY SHIT GET HYPED

[@grahamcammack479]

I watch Game Sack regularly for the commentary, to find some hidden gems, and because it's just really well done. The humour coach was a misstep though lads. Just felt forced.

[@sleepydumbdude]

I seriously almost pissed myself with those last few seconds.

[@clintgirard677]

you guys are the Bob and Doug McKenzie of video games.

[@tetrisdave]

Clint Girard Take off hoser!

[@clintgirard677]

Eh?

[@tetrisdave]

Clint Girard Yeah you know Bob and Doug McKenzie say "Take off you hoser" all throughout their movie. It's funny.

[@clintgirard677]

pretty funny eh? like funny as a mouse I found in this bottle eh? take off eh! we're going to the brewery to get free beer, instead we will get jobs, then we will watch mentally challenged stormtroopers play hockey to organ music! take off hoser........................eh?!

[@Phex1]

I never was able to beat Gargoyles Quest, in the middle of the game their was a mace and i just run in cycles until i give up. But their was a funny part of the game - my controls were broken back then and often the character walks right cause of it, without me pushing a button. If he runs against a wall, i just press left and he glitched through the wall. After that, the whole game brokes down. The levels were totally new designed, Enemys appear at points where noone was before ect. That was a lot of fun back then just to see what can happen.

[@pcfaulkner]

that slap at the end was so funny

[@kiyoaki1985]

Great to see some praise for Gargoyle's Quest, that was the first game I ever personally owned besides Tetris, I was 5 years old at the time. It was hard as shit and when that first boss comes up out of the water suddenly and the music changes I nearly shat my pants. I was so happy when I beat him but it took me years to actually finish the whole game, I usually got stuck on the wall eyes boss. And yeah please bring back evil faces on walls and trees for no reason. Old platformers always had cool grimacing faces on everything, I miss that.

[@scrustle]

I love Muramasa. It's brilliant. I've wanted a proper HD version for a long time too. It looks gorgeous as it is, but I can't help but wonder how much better it could look. The humour coach thing wasn't great though. Not funny at all. You don't need to try to be funny though. Your stuff is good because it's you guys talking about games you love that you don't hear about in other places. Trying to force humour in to that just because that's what all the popular KZbinrs do is a bad idea.

[@DorimiPrism]

I once heard a story about Muramasa... I think the developer approached both Sony and Microsoft with Muramasa, but they turned it down because of the graphical style or something... then Nintendo picked them up and thus became a Wii exclusive, that until the Vita. I guess the closest it'll get to "HD" is playing the Vita version through a PlayStation TV. I have no idea how good that thing is for upscaling though. I wish the Wii U didn't have to enter "Wii Mode" to play Wii games.

[@jeetjeetly]

please dont get funny you guys always keep me coming back with your rapidfire serious reviews. anyways good work all around

[@ZockAmigo]

Hahahaha best slap attack in 2015 :D nice episode :)) best wishes from germany

[@farrelldann68]

Another great episode guys, love it when you get to do the random picks. Not sure you need a humour coach though :) hilarious ending with Joe about to fully release his inner wrestler!

[@BanditTheCatRIP]

Your 2 minute segment on Mega Man was far more informative, entertaining, respectful, and all around better than the nearly 8 minute video Chris "The Cut-rate Lamer" Bores-me-to-death put out recently. Also, that is so awesome that you got Bizzaro World Kramer to appear on your video, how the hell did you get him? Another triple A episode from the Sackers. PS: I would love to see a video that compiles all the funny bits at the end of each episode into one video.

[@newfiekiyaygaming2139]

You deserve way more subs! Great videos, I’m hooked!

[@Lungkisser]

Joe talking about Muramasa on the Wii instead of the _technically_ superior (the best kind of superior) Vita / PS TV version?

[@GameSack]

Lung kisser Yeah.

[@DBoy2029]

You need to someday have the Angry Video Game Nerd guest star in one of your vids. Maybe for a list of bad games that are your guilty pleasures, and the Nerd could show snippets of episodes where he reviewed them.

[@pcachu]

I had to go intertube-fishing just to determine that there was no actual relation between Urban Trial Freestyle and the Trials series (Trials, Trials 2, Trials HD, Trials Evolution, Trials Fusion). You know, apart from it looking like basically the same game as those.

[@caioartiagas1667]

That end, tho Nice SLAPstick comedy

[@FoxMan_FF]

I thought Muramasa and Dragon's Crown had similar art styles! The company that made the two games also made Odin's Sphere on the PS2, which played very similarly to those games. It also had grossly proportioned characters as well, come to think of it. Whether that's good or bad is subjective.

[@OldGameBox]

I really didn't see that slap coming. After Muramasa and Dragon's Crown, I thought you were going back to mention Princess Crown too. Nice episode.

[@shawnschaller]

Have you ever mentioned Clash at Demonhead? That might fit into guilty pleasures for me, personally, but I love it and hope to see it pop up here.

[@brunomartinez8]

Cool guys, keeps those videos coming, how did you get the guy from mad TV on your show, that was really cool!

[@derekc62369]

You guys are fine i enjoy your videos dont change unless you want to.

[@5HlNOBI]

I liked the Humor Coach. Plus I miss MAD TV. I liked the GB Gargoyle's Quest part. I'm gonna check that out.

[@Sean-up3pr]

Joe Redifer Love the show. This was a great episode. I wanted to give you a small recommendation: as a huge Souls fan, it's always exciting to see those games get play, and it's awesome you enjoyed Demon's Souls. As far as it having no story, though, there I have to disagree. While nowhere near as in depth as Dark Souls, Demon's Souls actually has a very interesting story to tell; it just tells it in a very non-conventional method, through the use of item descriptions and the way the levels are constructed. Very rarely will an NPC just lay out the story in big blocks of exposition. Instead you have to really search for it, which to me always added to the sense of exploration and discovery that makes me love these games. You really have to focus on the details all around you, and the game is built in a way that rewards you for doing it. Their creator, Hidetaka Miyazaki, is a master of this subtle type of storytelling, and he only gets better at it as the series progresses. If you're interested in diving into the story of Demon's Souls, I highly recommend checking out EpicNameBro or VaatiVidya's KZbin channels. Their Souls lore videos are top notch, and you'll be shocked at how much depth is actually in that game. Anyway, thanks to you and Dave for the great videos! Keep up the good work.

[@leifbehmer5992]

It was great to see such an eclectic variety of games - will probably play MM later :) I'm surprised. The addition of a humor coach plays off the running joke about the series' dry humor (which seems funny on paper), but this episode doesn't seem to acknowledge the charm I've come to appreciate with the series. I honestly don't think most fans have an actual problem with the humor (from what I've read in the comments at least), but this video seems to take the premise as though it needed to be fixed for real, not as part of a running gag, which baffled me. You've got to own it, OWN the nerd sauce. Own the idea that for the next 30 minutes a whole generation of thirty-year-olds get to become ten again... Hopefully, I'm not just speaking for myself.

[@ssjup81]

Game Sack Dave Game Sack Oh, I know you guys aren't going to see this, BUT I FINALLY GOT TO PLAY SPLATTERHOUSE!! In Akihabara here, there's an arcade/game center with older game cabinets. I even FINALLY got to play the first Street Fighter and boy are those controls terrible. lol I still was fangirling, though. lol Anyway, my friend took me to that arcade and I saw Splatterhouse and remembered how much Dave was into the first one and how you guys were into it. I never played it as a kid (and I doubt it would've attracted me anyway as I would've been elementary-school aged then). I took out my 100 yen coins, sat down, and played it. lol It was fun and a nice stress reliever...hitting stuff! lol Sucks I got stuck on the first boss...maybe? lol I think it was a boss, but I couldn't figure out what to do and kept dying (and my friends were ready to go). I want to go back next weekend and play again. Seems moving from northern Japan to Tokyo wasn't such a bad idea after all. More gaming gems and opportunities, like how I just recently managed to find a copy of the original Legend of Zelda for the Famicom Disk system....not the cart re-release from like 1991. I was super happy! That aside, sucks I took a pay cut for this new job (but it's better for my mental health) and the cost of living is higher...but I have two roomates so that helps, and no car responsibilities anymore...

[@tetrisdave]

ssjup81 Cool story and I'm glad you finally got to play Splatterhouse. I am super jealous of you living in Tokyo. Someday I will be able to get there.

[@ssjup81]

Tokyo is ok, but I'm used of northern Japan. I recently relocated to Tokyo back in late April, so still learning the area. I only have experience visiting. If you and Joe ever visit Tokyo, as gamers, you should definitely check out Akihabara. There's one shop down here called "Super Potato" that sells older games and gaming systems. There are many shops that sell old games. I even found PC Engine games...but I don't have a Turbo Graphix 16 system, but thanks to Gamesack I now know that "PC Engine" is the Japanese name. lol. Nakano Broadway is another area where you can find old things. I came across the Game & Watch series there.

[@tael64]

Woah. I've been in the 301 club, but never 20! This should be a good video! It should make hatching all these Pokémon eggs easier lol
