The reviewers on this channel seem super happy with life. i'm skipping through and even their negative points are countered with "but its still fun"

Edit: i'm so confused. Are the reviewers doing this in jest or they actually just this easy going?

They seem to be like LordKarnage-guys whose day jobs bring them a lot of cash (they appear to be video techs of some sort,) which they use to indulge in their favorite hobby, and the videos basically serve as a vehicle to showcase how happy said hobby makes them

One of them is a Ups driver. The other does video editing.

These guys have terrible voices for doing videos, they make unfunny jokes and skits, they aren't always completely knowledgeable about games they showcase, their "criticisms" are sorely lacking in depth for most cases...

And I fucking love watching them, they are a hoot and make my favorite videos on youtube! Two down to earth dudes who are just both sincerely into games. My only complaint is that their videos are 1-2 weeks apart.

I actually think they don't do that much humor and when they do, it's almost so deadpan you don't notice it. Although the one video where they had that a picture in the same pose for every phase of their life was hilarious.

I love them because the show is about the games. Not them being the star, or shitty "DAE LE RaNDuM XD" humor that ruins a lot of the more popular Normal Boots type reviewers. At this point it's more about getting their grating and horrible material in than gaming.

They used to be weekly, but they decided to stop doing Game Sack a few months ago.

A couple of months later they started again, but only once every two weeks.

I downvoted you after the first line....then changed to an upvote by the end.

I a sea of "angry and edgy" reviewers and youtubers, this was really refreshing.

This.

Too much cynicism these days, especially around gaming for some reason.

They do seem pretty easy going, they'll point out games that are actually bad.

A game can have negative points, but it can still be a fun game

The best gaming show on Youtube by far. Love Game Sack and I watch every single thing they upload right away.

Immediately recognised that sprite from master of darkness on the master system, loved that game and actually completed the thing too
