Josh is quite salty Nintendo is not sending him games since he broke embargo. I see

Now a lot of this is quite rude cynicism in my opinion, it's a shame that he has difficultly qualifying his opinions. Though he's not wrong by any means though I'd hesitate to call the work on Star Fox Zero Lazy.

I guess this is his version of an account suicide. He already got blacklisted by Nintendo, might as well go all in.

I feel like he's been committing account suicide for the past few years, but is somehow still going. It's an anomaly.

It's like something you'd see in Hades. Man who cannot completely destroy online reputation despite constant attempts.
 
I was indifferent to bitblock for a long time. Then I started to dislike him when he had that outrage because of that one line in Triforce Heroes.

he's a whiny kid in my eyes
 
I don't really remember him being like this when I first heard of his channel. Not sure what caused such a drastic change as I'm not aware of any recent stories concerning him.

Pretty sure this is just how he is; he mentioned in the comments he reviewed Yoshi WW the same way, which he claims he did get a review copy for

He got blacklisted a while back for breaking an embargo and also there was some kind of controversy where he was causing problems with other reviewers. Nintendo decided to just cut him off and he got super salty and started saying how he would stop doing Nintendo games and stuff. He used to do stuff kinda like this to get hits, like the comments he made about Super Mario 3D World, but nothing to this degree.
 
That video was really something else. I've been playing through Star Fox Zero and Guard since yesterday, but you'll see new footage and previews popping up in a week or so.

He's always been a weirdo. I remember years ago he would get in fights with people on Gonintendo and in YouTube comments for his own videos about how like poor people are just lazy and really weird political stuff like that. He also has a "Dark Josh" Twitter account which is a "joke" "parody" account where he says outrageous and offensive things about how he doesn't like some video games. It has the same "very thinly veiled mental breakdown disguised as a joke" vibe as this video.
 
I feel like he was alot more chill back when it was wiifolder. I stopped following his stuff a couple years back because I just couldn't handle his attitude.

I was aware of the reviewer controversy, but this is the first I've heard of him breaking an embargo
 
I'll admit, I laughed at the line about the "one eyeball at the TV screen, and the other eyeball at the GamePad screen".

The rest of it wasn't funny though.

Looking forward to reviews for the game. I hope this game is decent.
 
I had to unsubscribe from him. He's been so negative and salty against Nintendo for like a couple of years now it feels like. He even admitted to trolling his fans in videos. He gets mad and calls his users names.

I don't even know why he even bothers with Nintendo anymore if he doesn't like them.

He likes them, but they cut him off because he broke their rules and acted like a dick to other reviewers. He's throwing a tantrum.

I've already noticed improvements in item and enemy patterns and set ups and more aggresive AI than previous builds you've likely seen if that means anything.

Yeah, some of the recent footage is looking pretty good. I'm mainly worried that I won't enjoy the two-screen gameplay but I'm certainly willing to give it a chance.
 
That wasn't funny at all.

Actually, "as long as you don't remember anything about the Nintendo 64 game at all, you'll find a lot of new ideas on display" is a decent line.

Yeah I know his WiiFolder days were when I watched his vids. I kinda just stopped after a while. We used to talk a lot back then but now not that much.

We used to play Animal Crossing City Folk with him, but he caused problems even back then.

He loved the Wii and GameCube, but he's not a big fan of the Wii U.
