I'm Joe. I talk about video video games that I find interesting and a few that may not be so great. Long-ish new episode every other Sunday (at minimum) released at 12:00am mountain time (US). Thanks for checking out Game Sack!

Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM) was a videogame magazine that started in 1989 and lasted (sporadically) until summer of 2014. This feature documentary involves many people from the EGM heyday, from starting up to its eventual selling to Ziff Davis and how that affected the tone of the magazine. It discusses the daily duties of the editors and, well... just watch it! -Mini FAQ: Q: Is this associated with the crowdfunded Electronic Gaming Monthly Compendium? A: Not at all. In fact this isn't sponsored in any way. We would've loved some or even all of that 1.8 million dollars, but this has been a passion project of ours since 2018 and everyone gets it for free. We hope that you find this informative as well as entertaining! Q: Will there be a Blu-ray version? A: Maybe! Trying to put one together now. -End of Mini FAQ thank you for reading.
