Game Sack

NEW EPISODE! We've checked out the biggest, now let's look at the smallest cartridge games and see which ones make the best use of their low memory! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPBL...

This is pretty cool. House in my neighborhood has a display synced to music that they broadcast themselves over the air and you tune it in via FM radio. They play popular music but I’d love to hear VIDEOGAME MUSIC in there as well/instead. Castlevania playlist for Halloween? That would rule.

Vibe-coded the launcher for the Genesis to make it faster than the other guy.

NEW VIDEO! Let's check out some games that only got released in the North American region. These "amazing" games make me so very glad I was born here... can't imagine missing out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij3A...

NEW EPISODE! Let's check out Capcom's CPS-1 arcade hardware and all of the games they made for it... oh and maybe the CPS "1.5" as well! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o2a...

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

I've gotten many similar comments on my "Biggest Cartridge Games" episode. Always fun.

NEW EPISODE! Let's check out Arc System Work's game history going back to 1988! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzDW...

I've seen people say that Gen AI is a tool. NO. Things like Photoshop, Blender, etc etc are tools used by artists. With Gen AI, the AI is the "artist". You're just the plebe commissioning the piece. I can't imagine anyone being proud of something they came up with using Gen AI.

That Kirby Breath of the Wild game might be cool. The Metroid game reminds me very much of that ugly 3DS 2D Metroid which I didn't care for. So much parrying. People love that I guess?

Finally saw Disclosure Day. My unsolicited opinion: I didn't like it. The characters were poorly written, as was everything else. Worse, there was no wonderment or really anything in the movie that was interesting. It felt like a story not worth telling. Or watching. What did you think?

URGENT!!!! I have tried the Deep Fried (dough and chocolate) and Banana Pudding flavored Oreos. After much deliberation, I have decided that I like them both. However more research is needed to decide which of the two I like better. I WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION.

Finally got around to watching the GTA 6 thing on Netflix of all places (WTF?). Looks like a GTA game to me. I tried to find something to complain about but can't really. Maybe some dropped frames but whatever. I'll be playing for sure, looks dope. Played the hell out of part 5.

NEW EPISODE! Let's compare the different versions of various games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pynq...

At a restaurant when my order was called, they pronounced my name as "Joey", not knowing the E is silent. My first thought was that this girl will never be able to pronounce TATE MODE properly, but she'll probably do OK with BlazBlue... well at least the first half of it.

Am I the only one who's getting tired of how self-aware writing in shows/movies based on popular franchises tends to be these days? Sparingly it's fine, but it's never used that way. The writers NEED to constantly let you know that they're aware of the tropes, then drench it in hilarious "irony".

Anyone ever get the music for Columns on the Genesis stuck in your head? I don't know why it's in mine right now.

NEW EPISODE! There are more good games out there which may not qualify as top tier stuff, but they're still quite good and absolutely worth playing. Here are some of those games. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VYH...

I see no lies.

Hmmm, looks like two duds in a row for ol' Game Sack! It happens. The next episode in two weeks will be back to the familiar, so please look forward to it!

NEW EPISODE! Watch me look like an idiot as I play a bunch of Eye Toy games on the PS2! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfiN...

So I made this video, just for fun. I always wondered what the movies would be like with the TV show music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLNN...

NEW EPISODE! Let's look at some games that make great first impressions and make you wanna keep playing. But do they keep up the fun for the whole game? www.youtube.com/watch?v=-prG...

All of these tributes for Sam Niell and not one of them shows a screen grab from Event Horizon?

This is how I did the intro for Game Sack starting in 2024. I used my iPad Mini to mirror my Mac's desktop and draw in Photoshop with the Apple Pencil. It's animated on 2s which means it runs at 15 frames per second. I didn't want anyone to think this was a filter or AI!

Hello 😊👋 I am porting Monkey Ball to the #Dreamcast bringing AiAi home where he belongs! 🐵🍌 I am using the GameCube assets from Super Monkey Ball for this. There is a prototype demo featuring the beginner courses + extra floors. Here is a playthrough: www.youtube.com/watch?v=277A...

The comment sections on older videos can be strange to look at these days.

NEW EPISODE! Let's look at some games that make the console they're on look pathetic! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRNa...

Modern gaming. lol

Back in my day the cost of technology would go down over time..

I'm almost sold on the STEAM Machine. It's just missing one thing... A required monthly subscription! Add that and then I'm on board!

NEW EPISODE! Let's take a look at the BIGGEST, most MEMORY INTENSIVE cartridge games on almost every platform! www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNkI...

NEW EPISODE! Let's check out some 3D franchises where some interesting 2D games eventually appeared! www.youtube.com/watch?v=POvq...

When is your birthday? Well guess what, your NEW birthday is June 7 because that's when the new Crazy Taxi trailer is revealed.

So I missed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure announcement. I had heard people talking "8-bit" and I was like "OK cool so it'll be another NES-like with tons of parallax scrolling that shouldn't be in there." Nope. Legit real Master System game with a cartridge version planned for release! Can't wait!
