Gaming content is a plenty with many YouTube channels. However, a good amount of them are not up to speed on certain aspects. One to stand out tremendously is the Game Sack channel. For the last eight years, the duo of Joe Redifer and Dave White have built a strong series of videos that cover quite a bit of games and systems.
My first time watching these guys came around 2012 when they did the FMV video and created their video into the same manner as a Sega CD game. They create personas for the show as nut job Nintendo fanboy and nut job Sega fanboy although they appreciate both sides and other companies. Favoritism does skew into the 16-bit era and 32/64 bit era, but it's not anything to get bothered about. You'd be surprised at what they like and don't like.
One thing they have always stuck to is trying to show the content in high video quality. Basically, anything with S-video and higher unless they have to resort to AV outputs. They don't cover anything pre NES and PC's, but that's a given considering the difficulty of showing Atari and lack of interest. The PC is something they don't dabble into, but I don't see them as being completely biased.
I do think they try to showcase some the higher ups and downs of the systems. Some of their most viewed videos are console related with number one being their Sega Saturn video. Others include hardware being pushed, 32-bit competition and obscure systems like 3DO. There is a little too much rambling about some games, but they don't take forever, either.
It's disappointing that Dave is leaving, but to be around family is a justifiable reason to not continue Game Sack. I'll be curious to see how some of the newer content goes with just Joe. Either way, Game Sack should continue strong and still have a few years worth of material left to do. Definitely give their videos a chance.
