History WebVideo / GameSack

Until 2017, Joe was assisted by Jennifer Pan, usually behind but occasionally in front of the camera. In April 2019, Dave White announced that he would be leaving the show as co-host due to personal reasons and time commitments, though he did leave the possibility open for occasional reappearances in the future.

** Joe yelling "'''GREENDAWWWWG!'''" whenever he brings up the obscure Genesis game ''Greendog''.

* PokemonSpeak: The skit at the end of "The Nintendo [=64DD=]" video has Joe try to entertain the audience alongside Nintendo 64 Joe, who can only say, "Game Sack!" Justified in that the game Nintendo 64 Joe was made in relied on pre-recorded voice lines to let him speak at all.

* MidSketchReviewShow: {{Averted|Trope}}; the sketch is typically placed at the ''end'' of each video, [[TheStinger after the credits]].

Game Sack is a video game-focused VideoReviewShow hosted by Joe Redifer that started on Website/YouTube in April 2011. The usual format is that Joe reviews games based around a general topic like games on a specific console, imports, games he recently beat, [[VideoGameRemake remakes]], etc. The show differs from most review shows on [=YouTube=] in significant ways: Joe is way more positive about gaming than most review shows (though he occasionally won't recommend games), he goes by his real name and doesn't portray a character, and while the show isn't a MidReviewSketchShow, episodes do end with a sketch. The sketches reflect the type of home movies Joe had been making in the decades preceding the show.

* SelfDeprecation: The duo often makes fun of themselves. Dave, in particular, regularly criticized his wooden acting.

** A sketch premise of Dave doing something like eating or playing a game, Joe approaching, asking what Dave's doing, and stealing whatever is in Dave's hand. Only featured in the "WTF" episode, but they filmed different versions of the sketch over a period of ''thirteen years''.

* RealityIsUnrealistic: In the "WTF?" episode, people in the comments were impressed with how Joe and Dave were able to make the flashback footage look like it came from the 1990s and the makeup and wigs that made them look 15-20 years younger. The flashback footage was actually shot in the '90s and they legitimately were younger.

** Whenever a video game designer or composer is a mentioned, their picture will briefly appear onscreen.

He has a sister series called Playing with Sacks, an edited LetsPlay-esque show similar to WebVideo/JamesAndMikeMondays.

* DescriptionPorn: When a specific game console is the focus for an episode, Joe will ''always'' describe the specs of it down in every single detail.

* GagSub: Sometimes done in episodes featuring games that have a lot of Japanese audio. Usually in a mondegreen style to make it sound like the Japanese voices are saying profane things in English.

* BiasSteamroller: {{Averted|Trope}} as Joe will put his biases aside to give a more objective critique. In his In "The Best 16-Bit Castlevania" video, he ranks ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaBloodlines'' above ''VideoGame/SuperCastlevaniaIV'', despite the latter leaving a better first impression on him. He also dedicated an entire episode to bad UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis music, despite being a Creator/{{Sega}} fanboy.

* CausticCritic: Generally averted, though Joe will review games his doesn't like here and there.
