It's even more baffling when you consider he has repeated this marathon like 5 times and it always has the same problems. The games picked are either;
1) games people like that have nothing to do with christmas, are good games but there is no way he can get anything going in a 1 hour and 30 minute gameplay segment
2) shitty christmas games because there are no good christmas games
He never plays challenging multiplayer or challenge runs anything that fits the 1 1/2 - 2 hour marathon timeslot
The holiday attire is grating and obnoxious because phil doesn't understand the difference between celebrating a holiday sincerely and using it for horribly kitsch costumes .
He drinks about 3 real drinks on stream because he's a bloated diabetic alcoholic that can't drink beer and doesn't want to actually get buzzed in front of his audience. The fifth of Tanqueray mixed with sprite or MiO water is for mature adult WWE CHAMPIONS TIME!
There is always way too much dead air and you end up having to sit around for about 8 hours to watch 4 hours of real content.
Miserable, just miserable- the entire situation.
