So many memories of Johnny Nightfraud and people like Nightfraud hyping the Wii up in 2006 are being conjured up here. But who will be the person this time to photograph themselves in baby's clothing when their predictions are dead wrong?
Haha Nighttrain. WTH happened to him anyway? What's his neogaf/Bore alt nowadays?
He presented himself as this huge insider to the Revolution (Wii). He said that his mind was blown at all of the awesome games soon to come out for it (which apparently would have had to have been Wii Sports or Wii Play; another example of his shameful lies) and that all haters would soon be silenced. The graphics were as good, if not better than the 360 and PS3.
I remember Nintards hanging off of this loser's every word and not one person questioned his bullshit. Once the specs and games came out, it was all over for this loser. He banked on the hopes that the Wii wasn't the piece of shit it really was, that it was going to be a shade or two worse than the 360/PS3, not Xbox 0.8. Nintards were crying foul, I created the name "Johnny Nightfraud", which was my only lasting accomplishment on NeoGAF, and people were wondering where this loser was. A few days later, he took these creepy ass pictures of him in baby clothing. Since he was a hairy motherfucker, it looked even more grotesque. Nintards, desperate to move on and already playing up the "Nintendo = innovation" card to compensate for weak software and hardware specs, laughed at this, called this an acceptable apology, and moved on.
After he lost his industry insidah status at GAF, he pretty much turned into an obnoxious cunt who made an ass out of himself to Jane Pinckard and other 1up employees. This dumbfuckery continued until he was banned sometime in the fall of 2007 for shitting on American troops. I think bishoptl was the one to pull the trigger.
I'm not sure what happened to him but he seems to have abandoned his Johnny Nighttrain name. Not sure what he goes by now if he goes by anything these days. Given that he was fucking desperate to make a name for himself in the video game journalism business, I'm assuming he is still hanging around somewhere. Maybe he has a NeoGAF alt and is keeping his head down.
Edit: I'm sure you know how that went down Borys but that story was mostly for the kiddies like Andrex who can't fathom why people are scoffing at the "just you wait!" bullshit that we all heard six years ago.
