Video: This Homemade Pikmin Adventure Is A Veritable Winter Wonderland

Another creative video from Josh. He's got more to come and I'm very excited. I want more Make Believe!

This is very nice. Regards a huge Pikmin fan since Gamecube days.

It’s a shame such incredible talent is wasted on someone with such a repulsive personality.

Get ready for people to say they hate the person who made this video instead of actually talking about the video!

@Scrummer And why is that strange to you? If someone posted an article about Hitler’s paintings, invariably people would also comment on their opinions on the kind of person he was instead of praising the artistic achievement.

The artist in question here obviously isn’t as bad as Hitler, but he’s combative, divisive and extremely arrogant and makes no attempt to hide it. It’s hard to discuss any of his works without mentioning the kind of person he is.

@thesilverbrick I also feel that at some point, you have to draw a line. You raise a good point, but I feel like if someone posted something about Hitler's paintings, they would be saying "Wow, I can't believe Hitler made these paintings and then became the most infamous political figure in history" whereas here, they're just saying "Look at this cool Pikmin video" not "Man this guy is such a jerk but he made this video."

@Scrummer I understand what you are saying, and honestly, I used to follow this guy pretty extensively on YouTube. Over time, though, when he started cramming his political views down everyone’s throat and being a total jerk to anybody with a difference of opinion, he became entirely unwatchable. He for a time defined himself by his political opinions instead of by the quality of his content, which is a bad move, regardless of what politics you side with. Problem is, the guy has such a high opinion of himself that he believes everyone should think and act the way he does. Zero humility whatsoever. I’m sorry, but I have a hard time praising his artwork when I think back to some of the hateful things he has said and did. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but when they are strong and divisive, you are best suited keeping them to yourself, especially when you hope to be in the public eye and gain a following.

@thesilverbrick I see, and understand. Personally, I had never even heard of this guy until the animal crossing article a while ago, but I think for these future articles, I'll just focus on the content rather than the person behind it. But I definitely see why everyone dislikes him, and I agree with you that no matter what side you're on regarding politics you shouldn't try to shove you're opinion down others throats.

@Scrummer In a way, I envy you, haha. I wish I didn’t know anything about this guy‘s personality and I could just admire the work he does, because it is actually pretty impressive. Try your best not to read into anything about him and just enjoy the videos and content he makes when it appears in articles on here. Do yourself a favor and don’t watch any of his talking head commentary videos and don’t Google anything about him (including images, unless you want to see some lewd stuff).

I'm only here for the comment section.

@thesilverbrick

Well great, you've just made me interested.

Hope he's not communist. Or socialist.

@thesilverbrick Creeps can make art too, bottom line.

I usually don't support but wholes that make decent stuff like this, but at least it fills an empty space which I would rather have filled by Nintendo (that sounded weird).

@maceng I’m not contesting that this guy can’t make art. I will even be the first to say that he’s very, very talented. All I’m saying is that people shouldn’t be surprised when people comment on the behavior of an artist when he acts like an arrogant monster.

@thesilverbrick Agree with you, 100%.

Creeps need to learn their lesson. Case in point: I wanted to buy an small fleet of cars for my company. I was contacted by a high school acquaintance that had a dealer. He gave me a decent price but I turned him down. Why? He used to hit his girlfriend pretty hard, like broken teeth hard. I told him why I refused the deal, he told me it was long ago, and I asked him: did you go for jail for that? No, no deal then.

Make more of this and maybe less make-believe please. That was well done.

@maceng Good on you. If more people could take the high road like that and stand their ground, bad behavior wouldn’t be as universally tolerated.

I get the feeling that something happened in Josh’s life that disillusioned him, which is why he went from being positive to being negative. But you can’t deny he’s incredibly creative.

Show us Pikmin 4 already! I mean wasn't the game almost completed ages ago?

@thesilverbrick Now I'm just curious about this guy's political comments and why those raised all that backlash.

@10-zx He's very much against them; which is part of why everyone dislikes him.

@wazlon
I hope they show it at E3.

The thing about josh, just from casual observing, is he’s pretty unique. He’s a guy with opinions that’s active on the internet. Some of his opinions are somewhat uncommon, but they are still opinions. Admittedly, he does occasionall seem like he can’t comprehend other people opinions, but that okay, because a lot of people can’t comprehend his opinions either.

An example: sunshine is his all time favourite mario game. He can’t understand why some people hate it. However, there are lots of people out there who can’t see how anyone could like it. It’s just an opinion.
Most people will have an uncommon opinion. (I personally think paper mario sticker stars music is the worst of the franchise, which I know is the common opinion. Fair enough. To each his own and all that). But josh has a lot of uncommon opinions. He’s perfectly within his rights to have them. A lot of people see opinions they disagree with, and thus shun the person.
Uh, I’ve been typing for so long, I’ve forgotten what I started out saying. Oh well, who cares what I say. I’m just a random guy on the internet. Just like josh.

@Boidoh

So you're telling me that because this guy is anti commie, that's part of the reason everyone hates him? So everyone is socialist?

The gaming community is shameful. For shame.

@Alpha008

Just like we all are.

I'm starting to value the phrase "stranger" more and more.

@maceng

That sounded very peculiar indeed, yes.

@Obitokamui64 Me too, Pikmin 4 has got to appear at some point if they've already put a lot of effort into it.

Pikmin 4...
