[@DharmaDaniel]

Game Sack, fucking up my sleep patterns for over 100 episodes! Love you guys!

[@mylifeingaming]

Lots of good stuff in this one. Cadash was an arcade favorite of mine. Got a kick out of "call your mom"

[@SoftOtaku]

Random means variety and therefore I approve. Always enjoy your videos. I'm looking forward to the upcoming make-up and shoes segments. Dave with eye shadow, lipstick, and a wig? Yes, that probably needs to happen.

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks but don't count on it. lol

[@SoftOtaku]

***** While that may in fact be true, I can assure you that none of them involve Dave! ; p

[@MoonMoverGaming]

Technically speaking, it is possible for items to randomly be identical.

[@IsThisDustin]

Just watched almost all of your videos. You guys are the only youtubers that I have ever subscribed to through those annoying pre-video ads. I really like yall's style and it's good to have a fresh gaming/review channel that actually knows what they are talking about. Keep up the great work, can't wait for more videos.

[@_fadingcolors]

I am totally okay with episodes that have no themes. Themes are fun sometimes, but a lot of games get left out of them, so it makes for a good opportunity for those without having to make a part 2 or the games that don't really fit in a category as you mentioned in the video.

[@Nanofuture87]

Shoe Box: the first Game Sack spin off.

[@Tolman18]

I honestly have to say that this is my favorite KZbin channel and I have a lot of channels on my subscriptions. Great job Joe and Dave, keep up the good work!

[@GoodbyeOpus]

To everyone who thinks I was pushed into saying certain things in the ending: I VERY much do have interests in shoes, clothes and makeup. I even have a separate KZbin channel dedicated to shoes and clothes. It was my idea to say "Makeup and Shoes" because I know that it does very well with viewership from women/girls and if you were to ask me about those things I think I would be able to answer that better than if I had to answer questions about video games. I am not a gamer, but I do know certain things about games in general. I am not Michelle Phan but I do appreciate and watch her content and if I were as well versed for as long as she has been, I would jump at the opportunity to do the same. I have noticed that the only people offended by the ending are men. And the women who have commented about it, enjoyed it and would love to see a segment where I talk about makeup and shoes.

[@marklinstom5145]

I think it's because men are trying to be so politically correct these days and make up for so much inequality in the past that still goes on to this day. It didn't offend me cause I knew it was just a joke.

[@kaycuckingstein1368]

Nothing wrong with a woman being feminine. Shouldnt have to explain yourself even. Cheers.

[@dontegraves5051]

The ending was hilarious. I don't think there's any point in throw in any gender politics or get overly offended. It was a quick and effective stinger. This channel;s happens to be really good at those, too.

[@julsbarracuda9892]

I know this comment is 4 years old but... the ending was really funny, it made laugh out loud. (I'm a guy btw)

[@WarpWorld7]

LOL, Hilarious ending!! Always love sticking around after the credits to see what awaits. :-)

[@yamumishot2001]

The only reason I love youtube on a Sunday Afternoon here in Australia. Thank's Guy's!

[@astro_1380]

I will second this!

[@brantsky]

I think more random game episodes would be great. And nobody can complain about how you somehow "forgot" to include a game that fit the theme.

[@TheFutureIsPrimitive]

Ok, Game Sack can have a makeup and shoes episode, but only if Jen gives Joe and Dave makeovers. After that, I'd like to see Random Games 2.

[@TheExaminedLifeofGaming]

That was awesome. It might not draw in people as much as a more focused theme, but it's cool to see a bunch of cool games across a spread. Like when you review a console and show a bunch of random games for it. Only randomer. And it stays fresh throughout!

[@cityrogueslicker]

Please make more of this great randomness! !

[@kevinxero]

Given its context and delivery, the line "there are four characters to choose from. I usually pick the generic fighter because I am somewhat generic." is one of the funniest things I've seen on KZbin ever.

[@iamlinxx_]

lmao at the way Jen just changed the topic at the end. "nope"

[@foolio1990]

I have some random nostalgia for Willow. My cousin use to play it a lot and the town theme always sticks with me. Great stuff!

[@foolio1990]

Oh, and the world theme!

[@Chicomite]

Random games should be a never-ending series you guys do. I hope to see a fatty playlist of these future episodes someday.

[@MrBoyward]

You asked if we'd like more "Random Games" episodes and I say YES!!

[@MadPanicGaming]

Great episode, I love the random set up and I absolutely demand more. Nice choice with Twinbee, Dave, love that series as well as the Parodious and Otomedious series, Konami sure has a way with shooters.

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks! I actually like Parodius more then Twinbee but they're both really fun.

[@tolindaniel]

David White I find it absolutely criminal that Pop'n Twinbee never came out in the US. I loved that game as a kid!

[@tolindaniel]

From working at retro game stores for the past ten years I can honestly say that RC Pro AM is still incredibly popular. At the five different stores I've worked at, I've honestly never seen a copy of it last longer than a week at a time.

[@Cyberpunk747]

Gamesack I would LOVE for you guys to try out some "european" only games who never made it outside. Chuck Rock 2 is one of the games i'd like see featured in an episode.

[@GameSack]

Do you mean Son of Chuck?

[@Cyberpunk747]

Game Sack Yes indeed! There are some interesting obscure PAL only games. Chuck Rock being one of them (made by the developer who made Tomb Rider). "PAL only" sure has some obscure games which are often forgotten and rarely mentioned.

[@theflyingninja1]

Cyberpunk747 This is a really good idea. The Master System alone had many excellent PAL exclusives.

[@TenshiCat]

Chuck Rock 1 and 2 did get American releases...!

[@goldenlink4732]

I liked the randomness of this episode. It was really fun and interesting not having any clue which game would come up.

I tend to watch something during the course of my meal and many of your longer episodes kept me company though many meals. Looking forward for more and keep up the good work!

[@tetrisdave]

Happy eating!

[@JoRoWi83]

I must say I appreciate the length of videos you guys put out. You could easily break these into shorter episodes but the 30 min avg is just awesome. Keeps me engaged as I'm sure it does the rest of your fans.

[@astro_1380]

I'd love more episodes like this. My favourite thing about this show is that I discover so many new games that I've never heard of.

[@MsBee]

Another great one. I don't mind random games at all, I enjoyed just as much as I have any other episode. Game Sack is one of my favorite shows out of the many, many other great ones. This show could easily by on TV, with it's superb production value and attention to detail. Keep it up!

[@tetrisdave]

Thank You!

[@kourii]

More of this format, more of the other format, just as long as you guys make more videos! Also, it was awesome to finally see Jen! The mystery has evaporated!

[@hanzi555]

Dave and Joe, love your work! Straight, informative, interresting and to-the-point.... Keep it the good work! Love and respect from Denmark...

[@JoeServo]

I'm so glad you brought up Blue's Journey!!! I used to play that game at an arcade down the street from me, a long time ago, on one of those little mini Neo Geo cabinets. I could never remember the dang name! Thanks!

[@TTGGrave]

New Game Sack>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>getting to sleep. And yes, please do more random episodes. This was outstanding. Of course, they're all outstanding, but still.

[@jasonstl636]

I'm pretty sure you guys are my favorite channel on KZbin. Thanks for all your effort.

[@tetrisdave]

Awesome! Thanks...

[@Hedgeyy]

I like when you guys show off cool games. So no problems here.

[@KhaosElement]

Oh god Lost Vikings. I loved that game SO MUCH. I wish they'd do a modern version of it somehow. Also, heck yes random games. I enjoy everything you guys put out, so do what makes you happy, and I'll be happy with it.

[@wildo2ne]

Please more of these, its a refreshing mix up to just have a random assortment rather then a theme.

[@RetroBirdGaming]

As long as you're talking about games, everybody will be happy :) In other words, random games episodes are just fine.

[@OmgWtfLolFtwBrb]

I really like how Dave did this episode! I wouldn't mind if every "Random Game" Episode was just games you guys actually randomly select!

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks! I was having a good night during recording. Wish they were all that way.

[@JenManning]

Yay for mentioning Willow! You couldn't play that game with the game genie because if you put in the code to get all the items it wouldn't let you find Madmartigan in the forest.

[@redavatar]

When I was 13-14, I used to watch a program called Microkids on France 3 every sunday morning. The reason I enjoy Game Sack so much, is because it's really a lot like Microkids but in English - and these random game episodes come even closer! I sure miss those days ... .

[@britshell]

I like the themed episodes, but its nice to have a grab bag episode every once in a while. Great show guys !

[@Trialwolf]

Great episode, I do like the idea of Random game episodes as it really mixes things up and you guys really seemed to enjoy doing an episode without any restrictions.

[@xanderac]

Nightmare Busters looks like it was a homage to Capcom's Three Wonders Arcade game, even the character art style.

[@74Vidgamer]

This style of episode was great!! Seriously, you could just make tons of these types of videos & it would never get old. You should DEFINITELY do more of these!!

[@cincofone]

The Lost Vikings also got a DOS release too. Love the random episode format, I think I prefer it to most of the themed episodes!

[@littlecr0w]

I'd love to see more of this, just because I never know what you're going to talk about next.

[@bbarrett726]

Thanks to the GameSack episodes, I've been able to discover a few games that I would have otherwise not known about. Sometimes those fit some sort of theme, and some don't. Do random games if you have a cool game you want to talk about but doesn't fit into any theme.

[@foldnquads]

It's great seeing a bunch of old games that I have never heard of, even if random. Keep up the good work, love this channel.

[@iClone316]

I had a dream last night that I was over Game Sack's house, and Joe was there. I asked him what kind of game does he like to play for fun if he's playing in his spare time, and not for the show. He answered by handing me a cartridge of what appeared to be a Gradius type game.

[@GameSack]

Nah I remember handing you the cart and it was Thunder Force 2 or 3.

[@iClone316]

Game Sack Haha nice! Funny what I learned subconsciously watching this show daily, for whatever reason I assumed it would be some kind of space shooter and I was partially right.

[@Derpasaurusrex1]

Game Sack To quote xoxak, a guy who used to do funny reviews on KZbin years ago "Go play Mars Matrix."

[@Night-Jester]

Game Sack Aww. That was nice :) Keep up the awesome videos guys. Just saw you on a Retroware video. Was cool.

[@TheHabitman]

This is probably one of the best YT channels. I like yous guys' style. Keep it up, men. Some great nostalgia trips and insight into games I may have missed. Thanks!

[@MissAshley42]

Oh yes, definitely do more of these random game episodes! I hadn't heard of most of these games before.

[@Inboden69]

i like the random episode, id also like to see what if any games y'all bought new and didn't like but no do like them....its always interesting to see the taste in games change

[@mikeanaro]

I like that Random Games concept, it sounds fresh.

[@cptsonicbelmont]

You guys should definitely do more of these in the future! It's a win-win for everyone; I'm sure that you two enjoy talking about these games with no restrictions and I can assume that us viewers like it for the sheer variety. I love watching Game Sack to find out about new games (new to me, that is), and this adds to that aspect. Don't get me wrong, I love your themed episodes just as much, but this one seems to have more of an element of surprise. Totally radical job, dudes! P.S. When are we going to see that Make-up & Shoes episode?

[@silverphoenix684]

You know, I've recently started watching these videos regularly and I have to say that they age well because I never see them as outdated. Excellent content. Thanks bros.

[@KipKrusty]

Really enjoyed the random games. I like how you picked a game from every retro platform, which was a lot of fun.

[@RanyBx]

Absolutely loved the episode, it's filled with good games. Of course do more of those, maybe once every couple of episodes and the ending is awesome!

[@zanicnight]

It would be nice to get some more "Random Game" episodes in the future. As a whole I really enjoy all the stuff you guys do (seen all the videos) and any reason to showcase more games sounds great to me.

[@Nate1979]

Absolutely fantastic episode guys. Please continue with the random game format in some future episodes. It is a real joy seeing games that are unique with a charm all their own. The more obscure turbo games, the better.

[@ColinStahl]

I would love to hear Jen's perspective on shoes in video games. Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles each have very iconic styles, and I think disucssions about how they each embody different designer aesthetics would be a great place to start. Also RPGs and Iron vs Mirror Greaves--function versus fashion!

[@mykie242]

Quality episode as always, guys! Definitely would like to see more random game episodes like this, because sometimes the best games defy classification and genre!

[@Souledge5]

This is a interesting concept. I wouldn't mind rediscovering and discovering some cool games that don't fall into certain categories.

[@jddeluxe2242]

Love the randomness! Keep up the great work fellas.... your videos have some of the best production values of any gaming channel hands down!

[@hhog9303]

2:52 I like how the electric death zaps occur in time to the music.

[@NewFireWithin]

I like the random games idea! Actually I like all your shows, so it really doesn't matter what review theme you choose. Thanks for another great episode.

[@Daemonscharm]

Pretty good episode. I like hearing you guys talk about popular games just as much as obscure ones

[@metanight788]

Since i often use your show to find new games to play, i very much liked this format. I'd love to see another one like this. Especially since I, like you guys, love many different types of games, and this random format let's see games that i might not have thought of before.

[@NoctumusTV]

Great episode as always, guys! I personally enjoyed watching you talk about random games so I could definitely watch another one from this category. Also, I always find it fun to think about that the people who made "The Lost Vikings" are the same company that made "World of Warcraft" before they changed their name from Silicon & Synapse to Blizzard Entertainment :)

[@MrRdp82]

Thank you for the Willow review. I liked that game as a kid. I am not sure why but I thought I was the only one who liked it.

[@wolvsbain]

Anything that leads to more gamesack epiisodes gets a yes in my book

[@Flibmaster]

Been watching you guys since you were a tiny channel can't believe how much you have grown keep up the great work!

[@gj7aj]

This episode was awesome! You guys should definitely do more of these random games episodes.

[@danscott8965]

Great episode as always guys, fun to watch and learn about new games I will probably never get the chance to play. I liked the random games episode idea, definitely looking forward to seeing more episodes with a similar theme in the future. Keep up the good work

[@BiohazardEXTREME]

I think if there are games that you guys really want to talk about, well, obviously there's a reason you want to talk about them, and if they haven't seen the light of day or there's just something to be said about them, then they're absolutely worth having an episode dedicated to them, if there are no other topical opportunities to do so.

[@meccorr]

I love this show. It's very informative. Problably one of the best shows about retro games.

[@tetrisdave]

Thank You!

[@meccorr]

and still watching it :)

[@MAXX1up]

Awesome epidsode! I totally support you guys showing whatever games you want regardless of theme. Its a great way for me to learn about games that I've never seen or played before.

[@Pai3000]

Well, here´s my feedback. Fantastic! Having no theme and the INCREDIBLE selection of games is what make this episode shine. Please, do more like this every once in a while. BTW, you game library must be like... I don´t know, somewhat supernatural if you can choose "random" games and get such results. Great work anyway!!

[@Zeldaschampion]

Now there would be an episode. Let see what random games Jen likes.

[@IronSmithReviews]

Gamesack makes my Sunday, every Sunday. You guys are the best!

[@wetvein4908]

Damn.. Joe's mom is pretty hot! -and she must have a really good job based on how many games she buys for him. I hope Joe's mom's husband treats her right... and doesn't subject her to shitty things like utube comments or Herzog Zwei.

[@GameSack]

I LOL'd

[@stevethefishdotnet]

Yes, more videos like this! More randomness.

[@Astrocreep2K]

I loved this episode! Please do more random game episodes. Also, more episodes with Dave's vehicle and makeup and shoes.

[@garou119]

Did anyone else catch the joke in the Info section of the video? Legend of Hero Tonma, Man... that's one of those games I used to own when I was a kid, like finish it with 3 quartes tops, and now I can barely make it through the first levels. Great episode as always, let's make some more random episodes in the future.

[@Gurki]

thanks joe and dave. the game sack sunday ist the best day in the week. greetings :)

[@tetrisdave]

Thanks!

[@iamblakeman]

Would love to see more of these! Great episode guys!!

[@Wyrdwad]

WILLOW!! Easily one of the best movie-licensed games on the NES, if not *the* best. So glad to see you guys talk about it! And a great assortment of other games, too. Very nice episode! Would love to see more like it in the future.

[@RocKnight11]

I would much rather more episodes like this, because sometimes the episode's theme might be a genre I don't really care about and I'll find the games unappealing. So bring on the randomness.

[@RobWilliamsTG]

Love the Willow mention. I loved the game as a kid, and coincidentally just cleared it again a couple of months ago. Great game, but I agree on the hit against the repetitive music. Fortunately, the music that is there is excellent.

[@MasterFallenHero]

I'm a huge fan of anything you guys do, so just keep making great content like this. You guys are probably one of the best things going. Although, I was expecting "random" to be stuff like Warioware , Deadpool, Leisure Suit Larry, or other "random" games or collections of mini-games.

[@BakingBluePotatoe]

This was fun to watch! You really should do this again, it's exciting to see what games pop up.

[@cezarysturgulewski6205]

Oh, the opening with The Lost Vikings. One of the greatest game of my childhood. I hope it did get all the love it deserved when it went out.

[@The8BitDuke]

Great stuff as always guys! I think this was a lot of fun because we had no idea what game was next at all! Learned about some games I had never heard of before, and that's always awesome!

[@JazGalaxy]

You guys comments always remind me of old video game magazine write-ups, in a good way. It always takes me back to the GamePro days... I also like how you always manage to have games I have never heard of. That Genesis Zelda clone? How have I never heard of that?

[@Relen222]

Ah, Crusader of Centy--Thanks for finally giving this game some of the attention that it deserves. I had to dig deep in the Genesis library to find this gem as no one ever seems to talk about it. Luckily, I was able to find the PAL version for about $40.00 online. Have you ever played Pulseman, Joe?

[@punkindonutguy]

Awesome episode! Keep the random game reviews coming!

[@TheFinalBoss_]

This episode was great. Definitely do more random games. It gives me an idea of oddities I should look for and pick up.

[@leftyfourguns]

Willow is such a great game. You could consider it a spiritual sequel to Legend of Zelda

[@tetrisdave]

Well more like a cousin.

[@haeccontra7903]

Please do more episodes like this, guys! I really enjoyed it.

[@Skarz1989]

"It uses the game boys color palette to the fullest! I think it used all 4 shades of gray!" I LOL'D

[@wrestletube1]

Well techniquely Game Boy was all 4 shades of Green and Gameboy Pocket was all 4 Shades of Grey but it's awesome that Ninja Guidan used 4 shades of color on whatever model you play it on.

[@lancestrunk7771]

Loving the randomness keep'em coming.
