This is a show for nerds,
but it's also a show for everyone. This is for the children of
Generation NES, and also the generations to come.
These are the systems that stood as icons of an era. These are the
games that have evolved into the art form of our time. This is a new
life for the classic games that defined a generation. This
is our way of life.
This is to make you pick up that controller one more time.
This is for every kid with a sore left thumb.
This is for everyone who ever saved a princess.
This is for every boy who would be a hero with a boomerang and a wooden
sword.
This is the show you wish you had when you were twelve. This is from a
time when every game was full of adventure and discovery, not a search
for a FAQ on the internet.
This is not a review show. We already know the greatest games of our
era and the eras before. This is about taking gaming in a whole new
way. This is about preservation. This is about how it works, how to
break it, and how to fix it. This is about history, and how it will
shape the future.
This is for the people who want more. It's not only about the classics,
but about the curiosities: The imports, the prototypes, the bootlegs,
and the oddities. This is about the games you never played and the
systems you never owned.
It's a new way to play.
This is our show.
This is Game.Hack.

Game.Hack is an internet gaming
show featuring Robert "Zero" Drendall and Mark "Reddman" Redding. Our
concentration isn't on game reviews, classic games, good games, or bad
games. We're not trying to be the Angry Video Game Nerd. Instead,
Game.Hack is focused on how it all works - The mechanics behind games
and consoles both old and new, repair, hacking, modding, game glitches,
history, oddities, errata, and all the stuff you don't find in the
mainstream.
A new episode of the show is released every Friday afternoon!
Sometimes! When we get around to it!
A large portion of our show is game and console preservation. Now that
video gaming has developed from a nerdy curiosity to a significant
element of modern life, we consider it incredibly important that older
games and systems - even the less "classic" ones - survive to enable
current and future gamers to experience the rich history behind the
entertainment and art from we love.
We do, of course, feature universally accepted, popular, and "classic"
games and systems but also wish to showcase more obscure and less
recognizable pieces of gaming history as well. We will also dive into
the nuts and bolts of how the games we love work under the hood, with
an emphasis on finding and exploiting glitches and secrets that help
expose the underlying structure of the game.
It is our sincere hope that our show will not only be useful and
entertaining for the nerds in the audience, but also develop interest
in the non-nerds and less hardcore gamers in the crowd who may have
missed out on the more obscure games and systems in their own time.
Now in our second seasons, Game.Hack is still an experiment in
progress. We're still finding our
format, developing or focus, and sharpening our skills. Naturally, we
hope you enjoy our show and have as much fun watching it as we do
making it!
