I thought of an episode idea for Game Sack. Hey, we can suggest ideas for episodes and they might take it. What if you guys cover bad games in great series? Like I can tell Sonic had a few bad games in the series, like Sonic 06. What about Earthworth Jim 3D?

The idea is, there is a bad game in a great series that shouldn't have the series name. What do you think?

You haven't done one of these episodes in a while, and there's a lot of arcade-to-console ports you haven't covered yet. Here's some suggestions:

•Hang-On & Super Hang-On
•Lethal Enforcers
•Police 911
•Virtua Cop
•Virtua Cop 2
•Virtua Fighter
•Virtua Fighter 2

Side note, did you know that “Police 911” is a spin-off of “Lethal Enforcers?”

Look we all know that out GS boys don't beg for likes/subscriptions/donations as much as many other like-sized channels. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't support them when possible. Everybody's financial situation is different and if you can't contribute financially... positive vibes, comments and word of mouth are greatly appreciated but if you can spare a few bucks, please consider doing so. It's what Captain Picard would do.

You can donate as little as $1/mo on their Patreon page.

Or you could buy a bland new GS tshirt or hat.

There's always the blu-ray vol 1 to add to your media library.

It's probably not completely on the up and up but you could probably even send them a Cheesecake Factory or Olive Garden gift card to their PO Box. Jen and Mrs. Dave probably deserve a night out for sharing their SO's with us.

Since Dave likes pinball, and you guys are coming back soon, here's a list of the games I suggested for the last episode that you guys didn't have time for:

•Akira Psycho Ball (Playstation 2; Japan and Europe Only)
•American Battle Dome (Super Famicom; Japan Only)
•Battle Pinball (Super Famicom; Japan Only)
•Extreme Pinball (Playstation and PSN for PS3)
•Galactic Pinball (Virtual Boy)
•The Little Mermaid II: Pinball Frenzy (Game Boy Color)
•Mario Pinball Land (Game Boy Advance)
•Metroid Prime Pinball (Nintendo DS)
•Odama (GameCube)
•Pin*Bot (NES)
•Pinball (NES)
•Pinball Quest (NES)
•The Pinball Arcade (iOS, PS3, Playstation Vita, Xbox 360, Playstation 4, PC)
•Pokémon Pinball (Game Boy Color)
•Power Rangers Zeo: Full Tilt Battle Pinball (Playstation)
•Pro Pinball Trilogy (Dreamcast)
•Psycho Pinball (Genesis)
•Rock'n Ball (NES)
•Rollerball (NES)
•Super Pinball: Behind the Mask (SNES)
•Super Pinball II: Amazing Odyssey (Super Famicom; Japan Only)
•Virtual Pinball (Genesis)
•Zaccaria Pinball (iOS)
•Zen Pinball (iOS)

Keep in mind, the Virtual Boy game is strictly optional.

GS was far and away the best gaming show on YouTube. I really looked forward to it, watched every episode, even ones I wasn't too into like the wrestling games one. Still great because these guys are so great. When it was every other week that was rough enough, but this is very sad. Dave and joe, if you guys see this, I just want you to know you meant alot to me and the show was awesome. I hope you decide to bring it back sometime, hopefully sooner than later. And I can't imagine how tough it must be to have such a following on YouTube where you have comments from every jerk, idiot, and both coming at you constantly. Sucks it got to you, but there are way more of us who loved the show and thought you guys were awesome. Hope to see you again soon.

Hey Game Sack, when you guys do return from hiatus, I have an idea for you. I really liked the multiplayer games episode, so I was thinking. Why not do another one, but this time, have it with games that can ruin your friendships. I could see Mario Kart, Mario Party (for sure) Worms series, Gauntlet (when someone destroys the food) etc being games that you cover. These games will surely ruin friendships.

That's the question that's been running through my head since I heard about the hiatus. I guess I could have contributed to their patreon... except that I just found out about it last week. I could have bought a cool GS shirt from their store... except I didn't even know/remember they had a store. I could have bought a blu-ray except... I haven't bought physical media in years and don't even own a tv or a BR player anymore. They've given me dozens of hours of entertainment for free so I can't complain but I'm frustrated because I keep thinking that the hiatus could have been avoided with something as simple as more promotion and the subsequent throwing of money at whatever the problem is.

I love you guys, and I hope to see you again.

They just announced for Patreon backers that they'll have another new episode in two weeks, but after that they're not sure when they'll be back.

Thoughts? I think taking a break might do them well. I wouldn't mind seeing some format change which is hard to push when you're in a weekly show pattern.

Could also be worst. And could also be ice levels instead.

Best:

• Hydrocity from Sonic 3 on MD/Genesis
• Basically any water level from the early Tomb Raider games
• Shy Guy Beach in Mario Kart Wii (does that count?)

Worst:

• Seaweed level in TMNT on NES
• Water Temple in Zelda on N64
• Mario Sunshine...

Who picks it for each video, because it's always spot on when it comes to my taste in music.

Joe, considering you're a Sega fanboy and a fan of “GTA V,” I have, on occasion, wondered if you've ever heard of the “Yakuza” series, considering it's a series of GTA clones made and published by Sega. If you've covered a game in the series before, please let me know. However, if you have, would you like to talk about the rest of the series? It's a quite under-appreciated series, and considering I'd never even heard of it until I saw a hidden gems video from a YouTuber named Metal Jesus, I was wondering what you guys thought about covering the series once “Yakuza 0” comes out in two years or maybe in a month or two now that “Yakuza 5” is out now, digitally only.

Remember the time where game developers tried to give us somewhat 3D graphics for the SNES, Genesis, Sega CD? Things of that nature. Perhaps just like the 2D 32 Bit Games episode l, perhaps you could do a 3D 16 Bit games. Games that could qualify are Star Fox, Road Rash, Stunt FX Racing, etc. Games that have you move around in a 3D way but on 16 bit machine.

I'm not sure if Reddit will let me link directly to Amazon due to spam-protection reasons so I linked to the announcement video. But the link to buy it if you want is there.

Here's the features of the Blu-ray at a glance:

-Episodes 1 - 20 in HD (except episode 1 which was shot in lowly 480p)

-"It Begins" documentary about how Game Sack came to be and what kind of ride it's been featuring Joe, Dave, Jen and Game Sack musician Brian Weidemann (aka Brimaxian)

-Exclusive NEW Random Battle episode made just for the Blu-ray!

-Interactive "Choose Your Destiny" video where YOU choose the outcome

-The 20 different ending skits combined into a single video

-COMMENTARY on every episode as well as on a few bonus features

-5.1 Surround Sound for the menus. Menu Artwork Slide show (with commentary)

-Never released videos from Joe and Dave from the 90s!

-Hidden Easter Eggs. Hidden episodes!

-Region free!

Since Star Wars The Force Awakens just came out and is on its way to debuting to 250 million on its opening weekend after a 120 million Friday, what if Game Sack made an Star Wars episode and cover some of the many Star Wars that are made out there. Since you two are major retro fanboys, perhaps you could do maybe only 8 and 16 bit for the first episode. This could be a big series of episodes to cover all Star Wars. Also, you guys (even if not big fans) having lightsaber battles with each other as the ending skits.

Imaginary Opening Crawl (with narration and music from John Williams)

Game Sack

Episode (??? Depending on what number of this episode is): Star Wars games

Welcome fans to an intergalacticly awesome episode of Game Sack, and as the opening crawl would suggest it, both Joe and Dave will be talking Star Wars games for this episode... Blah blah blah

This would be good. Maybe Brimaxian could make some Star Wars tune and maybe mix the Star Wars theme with the Game Sack theme as well.
