Well, the thread does tend to get updated at ungodly weekend hours.

12:00am Mountain time every other Saturday is when they release episodes. Good on them to actually stick to their release schedule.
I came across their channel a couple months ago when my Youtube had something running and I guess it was a related video that auto played itself. Been watching every since and went through all of their old shows as well. Really makes me want to play older games when I watch, and I enjoy checking out a bunch of games that I've never even heard of.

I love the idea of this topic. Super on board with whatever they showcase.
Heads up, transphobic joke at around 17 minutes :\. Good episode otherwise, but ick....
Not a funny joke but nothing to make a point about
That's not even banter than has a place anywhere but the cutting room floor. Why.

HA! Those Game Sackers are wrong. Shovel Knight is getting a physical release.
Also, I kinda want to play the Scott Pilgrim game again. Those Anamanaguchi tunes.

Seems weird to bring up the Sega 3D Classics, then dismiss the fact that there actually is a physical release just because it was only released in Japan.
Great idea for an episode though!

Love these guys, might end up going to the To Many Games and buy a shirt of them or something. Didn't even know Philly had an game expo or whatever.

That Phil Fish snipe was unnecessary and mean spirited. Dave probably doesn't know that the guy pretty much got harassed out of the industry.
Considering how import friendly they are it's probably dismissed because the 3DS is region locked.
But it's not out yet, so wouldn't that make them even more right?

Not if it's on the way!
I love their videos when they're about retro stuff, but when they're about recent stuff, they tend to get a bit on my nerves. The biggest offender for me will always be when they talked about Sin and Punishment 2: it's a miracle we actually got that game, localized even, and they actually said it should have been released on the HD consoles of the time, as it was wasted on the platform of choice. I never cringed so much at a comment such as that one 
So it doesn't need it? I guess they should just cancel it then.
I love these guys when they play retro games but, yeah, when they play recent stuff they can be grating. I remember when one of them played Vanquish and he said that it was merely an okay shooter but NEVER mentioned the slide (you know, the feature that completely changes how the game is played) or showed it in the video footage.

Judging by their comment, it seems like they missed the reason why the game was made in the first place.
I do like this channel, but they are not always on the mark.

Gradius Rebirth looks cool as heck. It's the only Rebirth title I've never tried.

Amazing show! My favorite on YouTube by far
Why was it made in the first place? I'm not clear on that either.
I don't know how it compares to the other Rebirth games, but I thought it was an unfun and forgettable game. Can't say I share Game Sack's enthusiasm for it, unfortunately.

Yeah, the more I watch the channel the more I've noticed they do the same "I'm too cool for the Wii" shit that gamers started spewing to prove their e-cred. Even Classic Game Room has started doing that crap.I love their videos when they're about retro stuff, but when they're about recent stuff, they tend to get a bit on my nerves.

U sure about that? I thought it was de-confirmed via this thread.

Wait, really?(About to watch it soon)

I heard that it was made because of strong sales of the VC version of the original Sin and Punishment.

From what I've read in the Genesis appreciation thread and Sega-16, Joe doesn't take well to criticism, so I don't see him changing to be honest.
Oh, I don't remember seeing that one, lol.

Did they remove the video? It's not I on my YT history.
It's back up.
This doesn't seem to be the best researched topic they have ever done.

The latest one was a great episode! There are tons of game compilation titles, but too bad most are 2 gens old. I still have mine (and still plan on buying a couple more) but it would be nice to see some new ones pop up! That Rare one from E3 got insta-preordered from me

Digital Distribution really did kind of kill this practice off.
A few still do exist, but not nearly as often. Now it's all seperated, with some like that Mega Man compilation coming out as DD.
