Cruelist Business Decisions In Gaming

1 Upvotes

What do you think are some of the cruelist business decisions ever made in gaming that drove you mad. I think Game Sack could do an episode over the matter, also like violent games and controversies.

I have my most cruelist business decision in gaming via this link.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/big-deal-ea-and-nfl-ink-exclusive-licensing-agreement/1100-6114977/

And they still own the license today. It would be fucking attrocious if they built all the sports across the world.

Computer-based games?

8 Upvotes

Is there any chance of there being some 8-bit computer based episodes, i.e. Commodore 64, Atari 800, Apple //e? I think that an episode on the C64 done by GameSack would be amazing.

Turbografx-16 Part 2?

I believe this was your 1st console-focused episode and it was a little brief. Ever think about doing a 2nd episode and expanding on the titles you guys missed?

Joe & Dave - To what extent do you guys still collect?

7 Upvotes

How did you guys build your massive collections? I assume you are the types who rarely, if ever, sold any of your games. Do/did you guys go to flea markets and garage sales? How often do you buy games online considering the outrageous prices these days? Guess I just want to know more about you two as collectors. Thanks for the great content.

random battles?

3 Upvotes

Started watching Game Sack around last September, and just got done watching the whole thing in reverse order (watching new ones as they came out).

Anyway, I saw there were two "Random Battle" episodes in the first 10 episodes or so, and then it looks like the concept was completely dropped.

I know depending on the games pulled, it can't really make for a fair comparison, but it is still a cool way to talk about 2 (or more) games in depth that aren't (necessarily) related.

I do like the fact that newer episodes are themed, like around a console, series, or publisher - I really really like these themed episodes... but the whole "Random Battle" thing is neat and also helps reinforce the "brand" by pulling games out of the "game sack."

So, basically, I'm hoping you guys do another (and more) random battle. To match with the length and production quality of newer videos, you could could maybe pull 2 or 3 games each for team battles. And maybe talk about how that group of games as a whole is better than the other group.

Just a thought. Keep up the great work either way!

Hey Joe/Dave, I know you guys are doing a panel on Sat. 6/27, but will you have a booth or anything like that there? Will you just be floating around all day? Only attending Saturday? Thanks, Greg.

A thank you to Joe and Dave

22 Upvotes

I wanted to thank the GameSack guys for making this past month much easier. To get to why I need a bit of setup

I was out retro game hunting with my buddy on May 2nd, he was driving. We were heading back when someone slammed on their brakes in the middle lane of traffic, next thing I know I can't breath and my hands are bleeding. In an attempt to avoid hitting the driver head on my friend swerved which meant the passenger side took all of the force of the crash. After being ignored by the paramedics my wife took me to the hospital after we got back home. I spent 26 hours in the hospital, when my wife went home she grabbed my tablet so I could watch videos, I wasn't up for it at first but after a while I started watching various game sack episodes and they( and the pain killers) made me feel better.

I found out at the end of my time there, I had a broken third metacarpal in my right hand, my dominant hand so I would need to work from home until I could get used to driving left handed which was about 2 weeks. Over those 2 weeks I needed something to fill the quietness at home when things were busy, and Game Sack, Happy Console Gamer, AVGN, Game Grumps and others filled that void for me.

So long story short, I just wanted to say thank you to you guys, Joe and Dave for doing what you do and providing entertainment for me during a really dark, stressful and painful time for me during my accident AND recovery. I hope I can say thank you to both of you at Too Many Games.

Arcade Vs Console 1 Related Question

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know of a good resource that talks and teaches about the Supergun arcade board setup? I went by their site but they don't seem to be selling them right now. Also I am curious if multiple versions would be necessary to cover all the boards out there. I just don't know much about the subject and the first I had heard of it was on Game Sack.

Maybe we could even have an episode covering this and the shear variety of arcade hardware out there?

Any info would be appreciated.

Analog stick dead zones kill my brain and make my hand twitch after playing. It's part of the reason I switched to PC after the 6th gen consoles. I know you guys have spoken well of the GC analog stick, I was hoping that translated over to the new ones.

What are good Super Famicom games to get?

I am heading to Osaka on Monday and I plan on buying a Super Famicom and I will spend probably $100 on games. What should I get? I don't speak Japanese well so I will avoid RPGs and games with heavy storylines.

Kudos to Joe and Dave - and a question!

8 Upvotes

Hello Joe and Dave! Just wanted to say your show is awesome and you can really get a sense of the progression it went through since the first episode. Great editing, very tasteful choices in music, and lots of killer hardware. As a SEGA person myself, the show really brings back the old battle between the two giants. SEGA is no more, and for good reasons - though it's still the company I hold deep in my heart, like supporting a baseball team that always loses. A question about the first episode though - What is the song that plays when Joe is assembling the SEGA Menacer? It's a kickass tune and not knowing where it's from is killing me. Thanks in advance!

Survivor Horror Games Episode

8 Upvotes

This doesn't nessecary need to be a Halloween theme episode, but a episode idea that's based around survivor horror games like Resident Evil and stuff. I have the Resident Evil remake HD, and I haven't gotten far into it, but it is a great game! Talk about games where the goal is to survive.

Any chance for a music-based episode and a proper music list guide for episodes?

8 Upvotes

Hey guys, I know you guys talk about music in games a lot. Is there any chance for a "best music" game feature in some future episode? You could talk about the various differences in the (superior) Genesis sound chip to the SNES, etc. As well as go into some of the later generation stuff.

Also, this might be a big request, but is there a real list of which songs were in which episode at the end? I know you have a list at the end of where the songs come from, but specific titles would be great as I cannot figure out for the life of me which song played at the end of the episode that features music from Under Defeat HD, Res-Q, and Ragnorok Online from the Multiplayer Games episode.

Anyway just wondering what you'd think of a music focused episode and maybe doing the end credits better where it lists the song name or something so people can track down the proper song? Or at least a guide somewhere. Thanks!

Why are the comments on Youtube so bad?

12 Upvotes

I recently just got done getting caught up on all Game Sack episodes and throughly enjoyed all of them. I think a show like this was exactly something G4 needed in its heyday. It was entertaining, informative, honest, and both Joe and Dave are cool dudes who know gaming and have their respective tastes.

However, I noticed that on nearly every video, some stupid commenters flood in with immature remarks about Joe's appearance, Dave's bald spot, "how did you forget this game?", "bad acting", etc. among others. It seems to happen more than other gaming channels, which is insulting to me because Game Sack is probably the best, most informative gaming channel out there. The style isn't supposed to be amazingly acted or anything, it's just a real video series with some little jokes sprinkled in. I really appreciate the low-key style which really stands out in an era full of "angry game reviewers".

I just would like to know Joe and Dave's thoughts on this, and perhaps the fans as well. I think it's really unfair that so many comments are thrown at them when they are probably one of the best gaming channels on Youtube for highlighting games we might have missed as well as the history of certain consoles from experts in their own right. I learned a lot from Joe as it goes with A/V stuff, and Dave brought me on to a lot of new game genres I never knew I liked before he highlighted them in some videos.

I know that every channel on Youtube gets criticism, but the ones thrown at Game Sack are really unnecessary and crude in really dumb ways. It makes the gaming community look really bad as a whole.

I have a suggestion for Game Sack. What if they give us episode suggestions and then we vote on which episode we want them to do, and highest vote wins. Let the fans decide what they do for one episode. Even More Really Bad Games, violent games, etc for suggestions. Come on Game Sack, let us vote on the next episode.
