As I recall, they never quit, they just went on hiatus. They needed a break.
I hope they go back to the twice-a-month schedule. I hated it when they started doing weekly content. That was just getting tiring and you can tell it made an impact on their quality. Which was still high quality, mind you, but it just didn't have the same creative zing as before.

New episode: More Hacks and Homebrews + Rubber Feet Challenge!
Oh yeah, the Rubber Feet Challenge is something from Mark from Classic Game Room.
The Final Fight CD re-colour is pretty nice.

Game Sack- Let's make a YouTube show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIhH-_BXPr8
Joe does an interesting AVGN

Oh my god,

That was brilliant. I lost it at the Metal Jesus part.

I swear I can see a little bit of Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luther in Joe's Metal Jesus impression. His Mark impression was spot on too.

I expected alphaomegasin but even without him the video was hilarious!!

The makeup and hairpieces were really good.

The ClassicGameRoom part was perfect.

I'm watching it right now, THIS IS AWESOME!!!! These parodies are spot on and it really pokes fun at some of the worst in these cheezy YouTube retro gaming shows.
It's odd that during the AVGN segment the gameplay was having interlacing issues. Joe is really experienced in this sort of thing so it's surprising that he would leave that in there. I wonder if it was deliberate since AVGN did had a problem with that in the past.

These guys are probably all friends with each other. It's probably why they can get away with poking fun of them in the first place. Aren't they all from Seattle or some place? Also, Metal Jesus and Mark from CGR are awesome dudes with great channels.

Those impressions were very well done. Another great show from Game Sack.

I'm pretty sure that was intentional, because most of what James and Mike capture is through composite.
MrCunningham

Joe also really captured the low depth of field look that is present in almost all of James newer AVGN episodes.
NoFaceNico
Member
Yeah, but it's not like all composite footage has that. He's poking fun at the fact that most early amateur YouTube retrogamers don't understand that the solution is extremely simple. Most editing programs (every one I've ever used) let you deinterlace on the spot. Also, on a lot of them you don't see the shaky effect while editing, it's only after the video is exported. So if it's there that means the creator isn't experienced and probably didn't even check his video before posting.

Yeah, this was pretty funny stuff. All of them are reasonably accurate, though the AVGN part was probably my favorite.
Most of them probably are (at least online) friends, yeah, but they definitely aren't all from Seattle, that's only Metal Jesus and the friends of his who appear on his show. Game Sack is in Colorado, CGR Pittsburgh, AVGN... somewhere else in Pennsylvania I believe?...

That new episode is absolutely hysterical.
I was linked their latest video, I should check out more of their stuff they seem awesome.
This was posted on April 22nd. Yeah, he's somehow still around.

Bit late to the party this time but this latest video has to be one of the best gaming related parodies I've seen on Youtube.
Not only did they film their sketches in the actual sets of the ones they parody, which considering how some might not live close to each other or even be on speaking terms amongst each other (perhaps?) is quite a feat already, but they even got the individual camera angles, visual style, style of narration and mannerisms / quirks down to a tee. Very impressive!
I definitely want to see them do a follow-up to this and cover people like JonTron (with random singing), AlphaOmegaSin (metal + anger), Angry Joe (more anger + dress ups), Game Grumps (unique humor + singing), Continueshow (visual humor and dick jokes) and perhaps someone like SomecallmeJohnny (dry humor + thoroughness) or Guru Larry (for a British look on old games) and Jim Sterling (...dictator-style?) as well. Or heck, why not parody Giant Bomb's Jeff and Brad or Vinnie as well while we're at it?
Anyway, even as a one off, this was great stuff from the Sacks and I'm still very happy to see regular videos coming again!

lol I like how it was posted 2 weeks ago. Imagine stumble upon it via YT's algorithm and spoiling the new video lol.
then again, it could've been private most of that time.
He used to be one of the highest subscriber accounts on YouTube iirc. They promoted his earlier videos and he blew up for a while, I think that's a big part of why people were so hateful toward him as he basically got the spot James should have.
MrCunningham

I think YouTube highlighted The Irate Gamer over James because AVGN was just too vulgar to be featured on their front page. I'm sure that people at YouTube knew that James was a big hit, but had problems with his low brow comedy style and his heavy use of explicit language. The Irate Gamer was AVGN light, a show that was done in a similar style but also much cleaner for their featured page.

Great episode! Surprised they liked PlayStation All Stars as much as Smash. I hated that game so much. Delighted with their love of 3D Dot Game Heroes, though. Such an underrated gem.
