imagine playing Skyrim on a console.
Umm dood Khansole is more powerful than PC, I should know, I built them as a hobby. Who te fuck needs mods anyways, mods are for fixing stuff, meaning the PC edition of the game is thusly bad and bugged anyways.
Worth noting is that, during the prestream, he was making fun of the town for aggroing him after he says he 'yelled at' one of the citizens because she was blocking the door.
So during the prestream, he was apparently aware of the aggro issue and that it was his fault/instigated by his actions, but he blamed the NPC for standing there instead of how he handled the situation/his impatience.
Nothing is ever his fault yet again, even though he just had to wait a few seconds or sprint into her so she stumbles back.
 
I like the Mega Man and Ryu on both sides of Phil about to fucking spirit bomb his pasty ghoul head in.

His skin legitimately looks like shit. Phil get some fucking sunlight and stop wearing children's shirts. You're forty fucking something years old.
 
He probably doesn't even understand what he did wrong and thinks shouting at people isn't combat.

He played it years ago when it came out. Probably barely remembers it.
When he gets around to Fallout 3 I am betting we will see a repeat of his Big Town fuck-up.

He did this with New Vegas as well. Phil's MO with Bethesda games is find a companion ASAP and have them do the fighting. Most of his deaths in his New Vegas runs came from Boone or whoever he has being knocked out and him running like a bitch and getting himself cornered.

I'm surprised he is even aware of the waiting mechanic. Probably would think it's bugged you can only wait a whole day at any given time. Can't wait to see him return there and have to pay some trivial fine and complain about it being bugged or punishing the player or something, as if money is hard to come by in Skyrim when you spend most of the game strip searching bandits.
I’ve never seen that fallout 3 clip before. That was genuinely entertaining.
 
DSP has already used his e-hermit powers to brainwash himself into believing it's a, and I quote, "bug", instead of him being an impatient dumbass, aggro-ing NPCs just like the mechanic was meant to work:

Nothing he could do. Not his fault. He did everything correct.


-EDIT- Oh, and I've not yet seen anybody post this stuff from today's pre-stream, so I'll just leave this here:

Have fun!
Not to defend Phil but I'm pretty sure the guard NPC script is supposed to start the "you have commited crimes against skyrim and her people what say you in your defense" dialogue there.

So its bugged but so is Phil for thinking his actions don't have consequences.

Too bad he wont play with at least the unofficial patch that fixes that and a million other bugs.

I've recently found out that you could install mods on consoles for Skyrim ever since the Special Edition. This made me wonder why Phil insists on playing that shit vanilla, I'm sure that the modding capabilities are weaker for consoles compared to PC but still I'm sure that it's moddable enough to enhance the experience of the game immensely. Then I thought about it for more than 5 seconds and realized that it's maybe for the best because the first two Skyrim streams would consist of multiple boomer segments, Phil needing to be handheld every step of the way and him taking 20 minutes just to install one mod because he'd have to examine every single word in the description along with every single rating that other people gave the mod.
 
Just a thought, but it's been quite a long time since we've seen Bobajo or SilentBob tip in place of OMM.

If we take (one of) Phil's versions of who these people are at face value, then he has simultaneously lost two of his constant whales, and OMM is mysteriously aware of this and has picked up their slack without any hesitation.

Alternatively, this pretty much proves it's one person, which is why there was no interruption despite the other names disappearing. And he and/or Phil have been lazy recently and just throwing out the same value and name. $25 has also been the most consistently useful value for Phil recently, as the tip most commonly puts him within $25 of the hat after his break, almost like the two of them are trying to use his tip to bait more tips. Sure is looking extra suspicious lately.
It's probably because how Phil says OneMinuteMaaaaaaaahn is so annoying and has become commonplace to stir up the chat. Jeffrey Anderson used to leave tip comments like "Take that, trolls!" Phil and Jeff actively hate the rest of the viewers and bait other tips.

I’m sure his response would be (and has been, I dunno, I don’t watch his shit) that it’s not the baseline experience as intended by the developer which, if one knows anything about Bethesda games, is so far from the mark of ideal that twenty-something dweebs regularly and reliably improve on it typically within a few hours of any new release having been datamined. The current game modding community writ large emerged from shared improvement projects on games like Oblivion, and for Bethesda games in particular they fix hundreds and thousands of bugs which can range from annoying to game-breaking and which shipped in their final products anyway.

I explain all of this just to say that Phil’s opinion is that “the experience as intended by the developer”, especially in AAA releases, is often objectively worse than what mods are able to offer. He is lazy and afraid enough of learning and potentially struggling and opening himself to ridicule that he will instead willingly subject himself to a crappy game.

Just like to tack on that Phil played Halo on Normal difficulty despite Heroic’s description literally saying “This is how Halo is meant to be played”. Not to mention his viewerbase asking him to tune up the difficulty because his gameplay was so boring.
Or hell, that time he was beating Dark Souls with the Black Knight Halberd (a very overpowered weapon) and when fans complained about the run being boring he told them to be mad at the devs for “putting an overpowered weapon in the game”.
Phil fundamentally doesn’t care that he’s supposed to make his gameplay actually enjoyable for people that aren’t him to watch, all he cares about is reaching the credit reel while hopefully people hand him their monthly salary along the way. That’s why he’s utterly shameless when it comes to getting spoonfed solutions by walkthroughs and his own chat.
Phil needs his games to be simple and familiar, anything else and he’ll dodge it. He put the easiest Metroid game on the back burner (Dread) for months just because the genre terrifies him.

Phil cares about progressing through games and finishing them within his autistic schedule. Unless there's a Slayer0707 or Papavera funding him every stream, he's not putting in effort to find a mod he's not 100% sure about.
 
Phil playing Halo Infinite ranked multiplayer for the first time 2 months after the games release and he wonders why he struggles with donations (maybe because people moved on from it a month and a half ago). Phil choosing to replay the same games he already has multiple playthroughs of. Phil refusing to invest in a gaming PC to do PC gaming on. Phil asking for people to like and leave comments on his stream that he later takes down and makes into 3 seperate videos nobody watches because they already watched the stream making it pointless. I do not expect him to grow, in fact the things he is doing will probably make his channel shrink over time since he is doing everything in his power to do the opposite of game the youtube algorithm.

You and people say this but he's not really struggling with donations for halo, he's doing okay. He just likes to claim a game is slow so that he can kind of threaten to ditch it unless they pay up, which actually kind of works. I haven't noticed any games that don't really get much support for phil, it doesn't seem to matter. The only thing that matters are if certain games have dedicated paypigs, such as Jaxx for SF, GameTrekker for hades and metroid and some others, slayer for Lost Judgment etc. The other trend that Phil doesnt seem to be aware of, is that his late night streams just dont make as much money. He will just endlessly blame whichever game is being played, but that's almost completely irrelevant.
 

it's kinda funny his gameplay and commentary in the "modern era" are about the same he just seems like he can hold his booze better but damn...

- can't read
- makes random out of place pop-culture reference
- "fuck you"
- "huh?" cause he doesn't know whats killing him
- no spacial awareness
- keeps doing the same thing over and over
- uncomfortable forced laughter
- burping and body noises
- grunting
- confusion by things that clearly happen in the game
- gets lost going form point a to b
- tries to rush through something, does something stupid, says it's a bug
- really obvious observations like fire ants shooting fire

the only real difference besides being obviously drunk is he admitted he screwed up the big town mission it wasn't a bug or lag
