Him trying to cheese through ER should be no surprise to anyone that watched his previous Souls playthroughs (hopefully via a TIHYDP)

DeS - overleveled like crazy, I think he was around level 90 going into Tower Of Latria, most likely abused the dupe glitch
DaS1 - used the drakesword, was gifted the Gravelord Sword by a viewer, summoned other players to kill bosses for him
DaS2 - heavily abused lightning spears before they got nerfed into the ground
DaS3 - played an early access copy that was made easier for gaming 'journalists'
Bloodborne - overleveled yet again
Sekiro - watched guides, most obvious when he was fighting the guardian ape, Isshin
Never heard the story about DaS3 and I didnt know there was an easy version, thats interesting. Did he purposely seek out the easy version or just stumbled on it? Also how did he get an early copy, that goes against his morals!
 
he seems to be bringing this up a lot lately. i think he subconsciously realizes what an enormous failure and a huge waste his life has been and its eating him from the inside.
mid life crisis arc coming soon

hmmm, I thought it might be WWEC with draws or a long string of shitty pulls so he's looking for that instant gratification somewhere else....but midlife crisis also works.

which would make this whole "I could compete in evo" lunacy and playing his old pro fighitng game player friend "grog" make a bit more sense...yearning for those gold days of young DSP are we Phil?

Which is amazing, his take on Evo compared to competitors "new" and old is once again that "stop having fun" meme. Phil, how is it not draining to be the guy who always has to piss in everyone's cheerios then ree when people like things you don't and don't agree with you?
 
Youtube started playing the AVGN Season 1 video for me the other day, and I listened to the first maybe 10 minutes for the first time in probably a decade. It really hammered home not only how much DSP copied from AVGN, but how DSP's idea of humour hasn't changed one iota since then. The amount of talking about shit, anus, anal, diarrhea, etc. is ridiculous but I couldn't help but think "this could literally be something DSP would say in an Elden Ring stream today".
 
Twink characters pre-dated heirloom gear, mostly rogues and a specific bind on equip dagger (I forget which) eventually honor gear would be used to twink so people would sit at the top of a level bracket in pvp and farm honor.

Fun was detected and blizzard has attempted to stop fun and people not playing wow they way they want them to in a ways that could only be described to keep this on topic, in ways that are very comical phil burnell ways of fixing a problem as the player base for a time was always more clever than the people making the design decisions.

I remember when someone in my guild said they had a twink rogue, I mentioned I had a bear huntard. I was the only one who laughed at my joke, a DSP moment.
No, I know that it does. I was just talking about that particular image my original spiel was quoting. That there were twink builds in WoW, and I was presuming those were using Heirloom gear. But at this point we are playing a particularly retarded game of chinese whispers. I promise you people. I know what a twink is. Even if I will argue it being specifically to be a lower leveled PVP character with better gear. I've always heard those just called griefers.

Long story short. When the Japanese version came out, From and or Microsoft did a thing where they attached that store entry to being the digital download that a review copy would get you. (My speculation is what that is for the record) But what it meant was that people found out that the XBOX Japanese story had the full English script in it already. So, you could just play the game early in English on XBOX. This came with two caveats. One buying things on Japanese digital stores means you gotta get store credit in that currency, and that usually gets jacked up. So it cost him like 100 bucks as opposed to 60. It also had HP tuned way down and I think even damage was tuned way up. Because it was a reviewer copy. The idea was so they had to do less grinding and see more of the game to be able to put out a more complete review by launch date.

Of course Phil excuses this as "everyone else is gonna play it early, so I gotta too dood" and any time people try to equate that to him being a shill, that's a LIMB
 
When he is booted off YouTube he will still have his whales following him to whatever shit streaming service he moves to.
ETHAN RALPH AND DSP COLLAB ON ODYSEE WHEN???
If Phil wasn't such a wee little vagina he would enable invasions. Bloody hides in a closed world like it's his gated community.
Fuck me if the git did invasions we would get insane salt and he would get a huge view boost.
You're telling me, what's better is that with invasions you can really fuck up overleveled jackasses like Phil who don't wanna leave the safe space of the early game areas. That's what I did in the previous games anyway. Oh, and I used the Washing Pole in every one of my PvP safe space crusher builds for maximum lulz and hatemail.
 

I mean things like this is why he's a scumbag. He's aware he's scamming people, but who cares? He gets money and that's all that matters. Another example of him violating TOS because he wants it to work differently.

I did do my part and reported him to Patreon, because it's the 2nd time he used Patreon to scam. I'm still shocked Patreon allow him to be on their site after the Project 7 scam.
If anyone who does want to report him and show Patreon the video in question where he talks about the scam. Then here it is timestamped for you. If timestamp is busted go to 1:09:29.

There's going to be an entire 30 minute rant segment of Prestream about this guaranteed.
Oh man the amount of hurt ego is going to exceed any salt mining Elden ring could’ve hoped to produce. This would’ve been his ultimate life goal achievement completely usurped by someone almost as obnoxious. Lol. Oh I’m grabbing my popcorn

He's said a hundred times that he doesn't care about Patreon. I think he only keeps it up to have another reason to cry victim when it's eventually shut down by someone else.

Released in Japan on March 24, Dark Souls 3 is one of this year’s most anticipated games that many US gamers are dying to get their hands on – and thanks to a few loopholes in the digital market, they were able to purchase both Japanese and English versions of the game on their consoles nearly two weeks early.

here's a clip of him talking about it in a prestream

Yeah he is a lazy fuck. Like Phil mentioned it still says he streams on Twitch. The issue with his patreon is that he says you get to be included in the voting process for games when he reaches his Twitch channel subscriber goal but he aint on Twitch thus its false advertising. On top of that voting is no longer exclusive since he does a community poll on his YouTube channel where anybody can vote. You are essentially paying for a voting process that non-patreon members get to vote thus no value in what you pay for.
"In addition you'll be included in the nomination/voting process when Twitch channel subscriber milestones are hit; you will be part of the decision process on what gets played during multiple events! In the past these have included: Patrons' Choice game playthroughs, which games that I play during mini-marathon events, and more!"​

The other issue is for his $10 perk. I can't recall when was the last time he did a shoutout to his patreon members during his vlogs or on his streams. Hell he doesn't do vlogs anymore and does only prestream pahdcast where he doesn't shout them out, not even a text scroll like how other content creators do.
"Patrons who donate $10 or more a month not only get all perks below this level but will receive a VERBAL thank-you shout-out during ongoing vlog series (including Ask the King, Hate LIVE! and possibly more) AS WELL AS once a month live on stream!"​

For his $20 perk he promises EVERY MONTH he will do a segment to answer Patreon member questions. The issue here is that he doesn't do Ask the Pigroach every month and was sent to ban world. Yet again, you are paying for something that you will never get. The fucker even states GUARANTEE to get your question answered on Ask the Pigroach then this is it, but its not a guarantee since he discontinued the series.
"Patreons who donate at least $20/month will receive PRIORITY ACCESS for Ask the King. This means that every month when I produce Ask the King, there will be a special segment for $20 (and above) donators! They will have a priority section to submit their questions on TheKingofHate.com and I will answer any questions posted there!...If you've ever wanted a GUARANTEE to get your question answered on Ask the King, this is it!"​
Honestly all he needs to do is spend like 10 minutes out of his day, maybe after a night stream when he drinks and plays WWE, to edit his patreon so he doesn't make those promises. Change them so its focused more on what he is doing now. Now if his Patreon gets banned (he is the pigroach so probably not) he has no one to blame but himself for being a lazy fat piece of shit. Hell he could make some new rewards which could entice fans to signup for his Patreon and gain more income. He even said that Patreon is mostly for people who want to help but don't get the attention. But nah fuck it, let it say the same shit from years ago when he was on Twitch. Literally 10 minutes of him editing his Patreon could help him more than doing nothing for years.

Yeah, I used to watch his videos every once in a while back in the day. Phil 100% has copied that style and continues to use it. It was only slightly funny back then. It's just sad now. His rant about the BK chicken sandwich was basically an AVGN food review.

At least Phil developed his own unique style over the years. Begging

This made me laugh more than it should. But yeah I agree somehow went from what he called BlazBlue to World of Warcraft..

Which I wouldn't consider Nine, makoto or a few other booba fighters twinks but phil will phil.

anyhow, phil, you are such a consumer...

If the game goes on sale months after it's released it flopped? He really is like a pre-teen "gamer boi" screeching on XBL.
By his logic Bugsnax was fucking horrible it was free shortly after it came out on PS+ and GotG went on sale a month after it came out for a pre-black friday sale, which are both his bestest favorite games ever.

and he just said "you'll get 5 hours of NONSTOP elden ring starting tonight" so NONSTOP is late stream, stop, pre-stream sperging then continue with a break and a bunch of hand off controller babbling breaks sprinkled in there.

nonstop...

sure phil, sure.

EDIT - I'm not a souls aficionado, I played Ds1, BB and Sekiro so I'm not as pro as PP here but I'm pretty sure you're not intended to use the horse and one of if not the quickest casting low FP spell through out the playthrough.

He knows you can't use the horse in the main interiors to fight bosses right? 30 hours in I would hope so.

He probably looked at his tips income and realized that only Elden Ring brings in the shekels into the beggars hat. Though if that rings tzure for the late stream is another matter imho. And what comes next? WWE seems to be of the table for the time being. What is left? Finaly Fantasy? From what I hjave seen it seems as if this game might be a "Dark Souls with party" Or maybe a crawl back to Dying Light 2? The last patch has made it better (at least on PC)

What Phil (and to be fair, a lot of others) always failed to realise is that James Rolfe was playing a character.
