Its the end of an era as it was recently announced Dave was leaving the channel.

So by now you may have heard that Dave is leaving Game Sack as announced in the Atari Lynx episode or maybe you heard it from the rumor mill. I figured I’d take this opportunity to address the questions that I feel that a lot of people may have about this situation. We wanna be open about this and neither of us just wanted to just have Dave disappear forever one episode with no explanation ever. So with this preamble out of the way, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. I am trying to *bold* the questions here to make them easy to peruse, I hope it works.


*Why is Dave leaving?*


He wants to spend more time with his family. He has a full time job that’s in a different city than he lives and it’s not exactly close to his house so there’s a decently long commute involved.. He also told me that he felt that he wasn’t exactly “firing on all thrusters” when it comes to Game Sack (my quote not his, but the meaning is the same). Meaning that often he felt he’d slip up and write incorrect information in his script even when he knows the correct information. As if his brain just wouldn’t let him be as creative and dedicated to making a show about videogames as he wanted it to be. I’m sure he’d rather do Game Sack than his “real job” in a perfect world.

I'll miss Dave as he was my favorite of the two, but he has to do whats best for him.

I'm curious if Joe will ever go with another host or just attempt it solo for a while.

Game Sack has been a relatively recent gem for me; its almost like a charming cable access show about video games, but in 2019. Also with so many gaming channels skewing younger, its been cool to have one with older players with their own nostalgia about particular consoles and games.

This reminds me of Jon leaving GameGrumps. It's just not going to be the same without Dave.

Nothing worse than a half-empty sack.

I was very worried when I heard the announcement. My first thought, "Oh god, they had an argument and are no longer friends." The FAQ eases me some as yeah, having a full time job in another city PLUS trying to be a family man AND doing Game Sack would wear out any man. I will miss Dave though. The success of Game Sack is partially due to the great chemistry of Joe and Dave (along with the most wooden acting possible ). Having it be just Joe will be a change... but I'm looking forward to see what happens.

Also for no particular reason... GREENDOG!
