Please tell me he’s just trolling. Did he forgot he used the Line Launcher to get across electrocuted water in the Greenhouse?
He’s not trolling. That’s genuine. I’ll explain my case for this:
1 - If he was trolling, surely at SOME point he would have ‘broken character’ or a friend of his (remember, if he was trolling… he’d probably have at least a few) would have blabbed the secret or so on. It’s hard to keep that kind of an act going long-term and have nobody come forth to contradict it.
2 - I know someone who acts a lot like dsp, only without an audience. Every time I see the twit he’s whining about the latest terrible game he has opted to play (on his own time, no broadcast, no money, this is how he’s throwing away his leisure/hobby time) and how awful it is. Like phil, he will insult people trying to help him, then proceeds to throw temper tantrums. He’s around phil’s age, too. This is how the punk behaves in 1 to 1 interactions and small groups, so there’s no audience or publicity involved. I really don’t think “Someone like him, but even worse” is much of a stretch.
3 - Most people know to change when they’re getting direct negative feedback. In phil’s case, he’s losing views and subs in droves… and thus losing lots of income! A smart or even halfway functional person would realize “Wait, perhaps I’m doing something wrong. Let me read through the Comments and see if there’s anything useful in there.” They would then post a video saying something like “Okay, guys… I’ve been acting this whole time. None of what I said was meant to be taken seriously, and I’m very, very sorry that you thought it was sincere. Racism is bad. Acting like Beavis & Butthead toward women is also bad. I’m going to drop that stuff from my broadcasts and focus on what really matters, showing you fun games! It’s going to be a lot of work regaining your confidence, but I hope you’ll see I mean it and that I can earn a second chance.”
Not phil though. dsp just keeps going.
It’s unfortunate, but I sincerely believe phil really is a terrible gamer… and worse, an awful person.
Yeah its like Vince Russo in pro wrestling, no way hes acting.
Those 30-40 minute videos displaying youtube comments and blackening the screen every 5 seconds in order to write some stupid shit get really old.
Yeah, I get it he’s stupid.
I FUCKING GET IT!
I don’t have to read through pages of text in order to understand it or rely on the wisdom of youtube comments in order to get that.
Just show Phil doing stupid shit and edit it together without that dumb shit.
I feel like these videos try to insult my intelligence more than Phil ever could.
People don’t have to explain to me why something is funny.
It’s like watching garbage like the big bang theory where they have to give you a laugh track in order to tell you when to laugh, because the shit itself is as funny as testicle cancer.
I like that one comment “Phil, we’ve seen Project 7. We know you can’t act.”
You know, the whole crouch-jump fail makes me question if he is in fact retarded.
Imagine the following:
DSP playing Dark Souls 2. Online all the time and open to invasions, no FAQS, no stream chat help, no friendly phantoms.
Pft. He probably doesn’t know enough to even give himself humanity.
"Okay, I have this gun, and there are bullets magazines, but I don’t know what I’m supposed to do with them. Do they go in this circle here? No that’s not working right. What the fuck, do gun makers even know what their doing with this shit?
Okay so I’m not gonna lie I had to look it up and apparently there’s a bugged mechanic in this gun where you’re supposed to load the magazine into the bottom of the gun. There’s no way I would’ve known that unless I spent like, 50 hours experimenting!"
Can we at least agree that now is the time to pass “reasonable darksyde phil control” laws?
His Demons/Dark Souls play throughs genuinely disgusted me. Not just his ineptitude, but the fact that he never bothered to learn the systems, had answers handed to him, and used phantoms to help beat a majority of the bosses, he completely wasted what could have been such a rewarding experience of your first playthrough of those games. I’m curious how he’ll manage Dark Souls 2 seeing as the stream won’t have the abundance of info to feed him like the last 2 games.
EDIT:
Apparently MGR had bosses that were like “puzzles” :lol:
Skeletroll, thank you once again for the video posts. Black Mesa slipped through the cracks while I was fixing my PC a while back, so seeing dumb stupid phailure be his usual self with it reminded me to pick it up. 2 hour download… well, looks like it’ll be ready by the time I get back from tending to some other things around town.
I liked the use of flares in Black Mesa, they give you too much Glock ammo though.
