Overview
Caddicarus is an English video game critic in the site Hidden Block, who has been active since 2011[1].
Caddicarus, real name James Caddick, critiques video games in many different forms, ranging from the traditional critical style to more unusual means of critique, as shown in his videos such as Current Quickies, Caddy's Retrospectives, H.O.P (Hands-on Preview), Top 10's, or Tinker Time. As of October 2014, Caddicarus has gained over 300,000 subscribers. And on June 2016, Caddicarus reached 500k subscribers. Altough, in his next video about Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (as he promised to do the review for the Spyro trilogy for the 1.000.000 subs special), Caddicarus stated how Youtube deleted over 25.000 channels from their severs, resetting Caddicarus' channel on 486,790 subscribers. Months later, Caddicarus would reach the 500k subscribers again.
