I have to say, I actually really enjoy Game Sack. The episodes are generally all just the right length, the music selection is great, and the games covered are just the sorts of things I might pick.

A breath of fresh air compared to the dime-a-dozen guy-in-his-basement "This is, uh, Super Mario Bros... It's a pretty cool game I think..." reviews that seem to be all over YouTube.

Completely agree!

Honestly I really do like both you guys. You offset one another very well kinda like Abbott was the antithesis of Costello. ...only you're less black and white.

Such a good episode! I has hopping up and down when the Thunder Force portion of the show was nearing. ...Love that series!

...the air conditioner joke was full of laughs too.

Great episode.  Next time you guys do an episode on shmups (lol, I just got a little bit dumber) maybe you can do Gradius and Star Soldier?  Those are two great series.  Or maybe R-type... I never realized how many games were in that series.

I liked this one...some solid game choices.  I also agree a Gradius/Soldier episode would be very cool.

We definitely want to do R-Type.  In fact we were going to do it in this episode and had to pull out because of how many games there are.  We put Cotton in instead.  Gradius is another one we'd like to do and Star Soldier as well but acquiring them may be a bit difficult as I only have Super Star Soldier.  I don't think Dave has Final Soldier.

Nice vid, but I recommend you spend a good chunk of time with Cotton 2.  It's the most complicated game in the series, and the gameplay footage shown of it totally failed to show what makes it so awesome (the capture-chaining system).

R-Type II you mean.  The other games really aren't that bad.  Besides the infamous Stage 7 Checkpoint, the rest of R-Type 1 is totally doable.  I never understood why R-Type gets all the "evil checkpoint" talk, Gradius games are far worse IMO. ;)

I say both I and II because losing speedups late in the game is painful

Cotton 2 is only complex if you want it to be.  There is no need to use any kind of chaining system.  I've had it since it came out and this is the first I've ever heard of it.
