DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[REGENDarySumanai]

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.

He could do a movie stream and watch Die Hard.

2009 Phil was still stupid and unfunny, but he was kinda congruous with his ideals. A dickhead who said whatever he wanted, and if people had a problem with that, fuck them.

Can we stop pretending Phil ever was this way? He was a tough guy as long as the person he was insulting wasn't in the same room. Yeah, it's very tough to insult people behind their backs (as he was known to do in the FGC) or through the internet. When actually called out, he'd shit his pants and go full "let's pretend to fight but do crotch chops instead".

 

[Pandalee’s Tits]

Does anyone have the video of Leanna asking for a real tree and DSP immediately shuts her down and says real trees are a pain in the ass? That video always cracked me up.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

I for one would love to see Phil's brain scanned in an MRI. Even though none of us here are experts in the human brain in terms of function, I think we've seen enough public media on the subject that we know brains are supposed to have different sections of it light up in MRI so it looks like it, y'know, is actually working. Phil's brain most likely would be a bit closer to "clinically dead" than the average person, I would think.

I bet it lights up like a Christmas tree when he's doing pulls.

He's already ruined all our favourite games, don't let him start on our favourite films as well.

phil was always a manlet. Real tough guys aren't assholes. Those are beta manlets

Die Hard and Home Alone - my historic xmas movies going back to childhood. classics.

 

[EmpGulcasa]

To be fair to DSP (ugh) I've never heard of setting up the tree on Christmas Eve and I was raised catholic. My family has always had it up well in advance.

She asked for a real tree every year on those videos but this is probably the one you're thinking of. For my money the 2012 tree setup is funnier because it has him swaying for a fucking hour with a 20 minute preamble to his lack of goodwill toward men that fixates on the fact that he's unable to deal with his fans telling him John Rambo was better and funnier in project 7 than he was. Those window lickers were too dumb to realize phil actually designed the show to be this way dood.

 

[Corpun]

Like, how would the news even be brought up if at all? Tweet it? He can't record a video and upload it. So I mean, would he just buy a prebuilt shitter pc behind da scenes and not mention anything? Use Kats?

Don't undermine the resilience of the pig. He might just whip out a camera and record gameplay and say it's actually better or something and retcon ever loving capture cards.

 

[Iron Hamster]

Interesting to note that author of this is Patrick Klepek, someone who is at the centre of one of my favourite DSP pieces of lore. Patrick once reached out to Phil for an interview about the origin of Let's Plays. Phil said that Patrick was taken aback by all the trolls who attacked him for merely tweeting at Phil and said the haters must be mentally ill children.

Of course none of that actually happened. This is one of the only times Phil's bullshit nonsense stories has been outright debunked with irrefutable proof and offers such a good window into what a manipulative liar he is.

Ah........no wonder he hates game journos. That dude blew his fantasy the fuck out. Big ups.

Didn't he say during the charity rant that he was raised Catholic? How does he not know then that you're supposed to set up and decorate your Christmas tree during Christmas Eve? It's only the second most important Christian holiday so I guess it can be forgiven. And when it comes to other Christmas decorations it honestly doesn't even matter when you put them up.

I guarantee he doesn't know when Catholics normally take it down either.

Is he putting gifts he bought for himself under it?

uh........yes?

So DSP was respected enough to be a mod , but decided to try to DERAIL a live tournament by being toxic in chat, and was de-modded and de-respected (even more)
Oh how the turn tables....

One could say he was being a 'tryhard'.

To be fair to DSP (ugh) I've never heard of setting up the tree on Christmas Eve and I was raised catholic. My family has always had it up well in advance.

Never heard that either. My parents wouldn't do it until the weekend before though. Made me sad that every other kid had theirs up already. But they were heathens.

 

[YokuNama]

I like how he totally ignored her lmaoo.

L: "You can use a bag to put under the tree to easily dispose of the needles"
DSP: "Yeah so what the fuck do I do with this power shit... fuck its hot I don't feel like going in my closet"

He indirectly told his girlfriend to "Shut up. It's impossible to clean those needles up. I'm too lazy."

Couldn't see that relationship falling part a few years later.

And for the record, real tree's are annoying... If you leave your house regularly/constantly working, have pets, kids, and/or you're actually a busy person. Phil is not.

 

[Wasabi Panda]

DSP's old Christmas specials contained some truly autistic moments. Here's a few screenshots:

This musical/dance moment at the end of his 2012 special is truly something to witness. His home-defense hatchets even make an appearance!

The holidays really used to bring out Phil's true inner manchild like nothing else.

Edit: Well, they still do, but...you get what I mean.

excuse the tism but I can't stop noticing the pictures on his walls, it's bad enough he's got gamer crap in his bedroom over his bed but it looks like a child tried to frame them.

Tweets like this make me wonder and whats really fascinating about the goustosphere.

There's pointing and laughing at or questioning the dumb shit he says like not knowing what bandicam was in 2011 or not understanding cars need oil changes or how car leases work or japanese culture etc. Then there's the making shit up completely that he read unnamed people said on the internet then adding the smug as a matter of fact look on his face after stating this shit he just made up as undisputable fact.

Then there's this, these multiple DSP personas. If you read this tweet not knowing who PP is you think, oh this guy seems fun, festive and probably interacts well with his audience look how he's reaching out on twitter.

go to his stream, ask a question where it gets either ignored outright, a non answer of "I dunno" and moves on to the person who put money with a question, a fence sitting mojo jojo babbling barely coherent rant that barely stays on topic or called a stupid dummy who is an idiot moron and something about shit and stuff shoved up men's asses.

Which is just how phil is, but do his unironic fans not just see this? Or do they and don't care cause this motely crew of social rejects really do think we punch the air when he hits his tips goal so they treat this as some way to stick it to all the people who've made fun of them on the internet?

And that to me is the fascinating thing, what is the point where a whale goes "ok done" and what keeps them attached for so long?

eh I also could just be coping and these people are really this pathetic and delusional.

 

[Chandler Bing]

DSP once again copying traditions from a movie, just like how he goes out to a chinese restaurant every christmas cause it was in a movie

and he really out here fact checking a movie that has flying reindeers in it lol

Phil when fact checking be like

Going full armchair psychologist, I'd say that Phil thinks that portraying oneself as positive is what makes one positive.

He actually seems to believe that tweeting like that, having prestreams acting all happy, should overshadow the many moments in which he yells at his piglets, is toxic towards everyone, acts like a baby in games etc.

Same thing with his insistence on how he's the happiest he's ever been... While tweeting drunk at 2am.

It's really bizarre that Phil seems to genuinely think that saying things is more important than acting accordingly.

You just described like half of the American population and most young people today.

This sucks lmao

To be fair to DSP (ugh) I've never heard of setting up the tree on Christmas Eve and I was raised catholic. My family has always had it up well in advance.

If there was an option like "Sometime in December" that would destroy his argument so he simply doesn't include it.

 

[Lando Griffin]

So its true that DSP"s true name is Isaac Heimler.

Yeah, it's very tough to insult people behind their backs (as he was known to do in the FGC) or through the internet. When actually called out, he'd shit his pants and go full "let's pretend to fight but do crotch chops instead".

Even with being so isolated these days and ruling over his chat like a tyrant, Phil can't bring himself to let loose the way he wants, because he's that much of a pussy. Young Phil was never based, he just hadn't gotten nailed hard enough for being so offensive.

I like how he totally ignored her lmaoo.

L: "You can use a bag to put under the tree to easily dispose of the needles"
DSP: "Yeah so what the fuck do I do with this power shit... fuck its hot I don't feel like going in my closet"

My favorite part is a the long-ass silence that follows her statement about leaving a bag under the tree, because you can tell that Phil is processing just how much logic he is up against and wants to get toxic over it like he always does, but can't because he's a complete coward.

It's really bizarre that Phil seems to genuinely think that saying things is more important than acting accordingly.

It's more that he's stupid enough to think that one day he can find enough ignorant people to go along with his game of pretend. As we say around here, Phil is his own biggest detractor, and the huge difference between what he asserts and what he puts on display in various moments is perhaps the best way in which he fucks himself by being such a self-detractor. He stands absolutely no chance of getting a redemption arc unless he fixes the fact that when new people tune into his streams, they're immediately assaulted with disgusting noises, pathetic begging that nobody with a good rep does, and boring-ass gameplay.

He's too dumb to see that no amount of new marks being lured in via Twitter is going to amount to a hill of beans without a serious, drastic change to the streams he wants them to watch and contribute to. It doesn't matter how little these new people know about DSP going in, they're going to leave with a bad opinion of him within five minutes of watching him on YT. Every single time. Unless they're dentheads, which isn't what he wants. He'll take them, if they become whales, but he doesn't want them.

Phil's brain most likely would be a bit closer to "clinically dead" than the average person, I would think.

I wouldn't be surprised if it were the complete opposite. Mind you, that doesn't mean that all this activity would be efficient/effective, but have you never noticed how stupid people sometimes get hung up on perfectly mundane stuff, because while you've instantly understood how/why it is that way and moved on, they haven't ?

I have no experience whatsoever in that field, but I could totally see (some) dumb people being more mentally active (Again, not necessarily in a good way) than their brighter peers simply because everything is complicated, everything is "intellectually oppressive" to them - everything is Kafkaesque, because I want to sound fancy. Kind of in the way that narcissists (And there has often been talk of Phil being one) are far from emotionless, and on the contrary are slaves to their own strong, negative emotions.

An example I've actually encountered: Someone who, shortly after the whole Fukushima disaster, didn't know/realize circles were the shape defined by "distance <= x", and consequently found it utter bullsh#t that the nuclear "danger zones" were circles and not squares. Imagine living your life in a world where all those things that to you make perfect sense, actually don't; Where the way that things work and are perfectly accepted look irrational, even stupid - to you.

Queue joke about politicians and bureaucracy and all of us living in that world, but I personally have a very hard time imagining living with that kind of worldview and not going completely insane from everything being, supposedly, itself insane.
