DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Bridge to Nowhere]

DSP is officially the king of posting unintentionally hilarious and humiliating videos. Nobody I've seen is better at it than he is.

 

[softsleeper]

This made me feel sorry for him rather than laughing, not for the fact he cant last long, not for the fact he killed his already dead career.

But his face it tells a story
It tells that he knows his career is fucked, and he's fucked after this year.

I felt a lot of second hand embarrassment rewatching it from start to finish again. You could hear it in his voice when he realizes it's too late: the facecam was on the entire time and there is virtually nothing he can do about it. Hopefully, this will officially mark the end of his let's play career. Maybe he might even get off his ass and find a real job that pays decent money. But that's looking on the bright side of things, you know? The way I see it, this ain't going to dent him much if he's that fucking dense.

His "oh shit" face when he realized that he just streamed himself jacking off was priceless, but I don't think it'll end his career just yet. He'll milk this YouTube gig of every penny he can get before actually getting a job. His ride never ends.

I would like to think Phil would try and learn from this experience... but we've learned in the past Phil has a learning disability.

I guess all those lag came from the afterglow and not the internet connection

 

[Buck Bumble]

Ah, well. I need to brush up on DSP then.

You're fine. The thread's pretty large, so I expect bits and pieces of info to slip through the cracks.

It's like...you hear a lot about the '3K lemon', his current computer that can't run RAGE. What you never hear about anymore is the computer that was sent to him before that by a fan. It was about $1,700 or so, but sent to him for free. However, it had a chip in the case or somesuch other sort of cosmetic damage, so he considered it bricked and bought the lemon we all know and love.

If I remember correctly, the same fan who built the computer also helped build his original site, also for free.

There used to be videos detailing all of this, but I'm having trouble finding them at current. Will update the post later if I find them.

Also - there are frames in the fap video where you can see that he wasn't wearing pants. This leads me to believe that he tends to stream without his pants on, and that any time he takes a break, he's pulling a DickStrokePhil.

 

[Xerxes IX]

So when do we get the new patron reward tier where you get a camshow if you give him 75 dollars per month? I mean, you just know KG and Ashish would be all over that

Basically, a guy by the name of ChrisFurtado built him a computer, which was extremely powerful for the time, for the low price of $1,200, and also included a metric ton of useful and otherwise expensive software to boot. Later, when he was attempting to figure out how to use a capture card, Chris appeared in his stream and attempted to help. Phil responded by ignoring his advice, insulting him, and talking about how the computer Chris built him was "a lemon" while grossly inflating the price to $3,000.

And yes, Chris also built the original website, at no cost to Phil.

The first PC was built for him but he had to pay for the parts (calculated at cost, I assume). So it was kind of a deal if you are computer illiterate.
The second couldn't run Rage at 1080p 60fps while capturing AND streaming so he called it a piece of shit and quit playing PC games. It was a decent PC with a sweet GFX Card (780ti methinks), even though it was overpriced.

 

[Admiral Piett]

He doesn't have Twitch anymore. That was closed a long time ago - though I'm personally not sure what the truth is. Either Phil quit using Twitch after a disagreement with a mod, or Leanna got into a fight with a mod and got his account closed.

IIRC, Phil began to stream at 60fps, 1080p and a mod dropped by his stream to tell him to knock it off. Phil was taking up way too much of Twitch's space or something. At that stage, Phil was in the middle of his "quality khantent" phase and shit talked the mod, before quitting Twitch to go to YouTube.

Some inconsistencies there:

A fan (Chris Furtado) offered to build Phil a super rig. They talked it out and Phil paid him about $1200. Chris went the extra mile and threw in some freebie software like Sony Vegas, some other software suite and Amnesia. Phil recorded an unboxing of the PC and noted the chip in the case and didn't seem worried about it. Later, Phil couldn't figure out how to Stream and blamed Chris for everything and trash talked him repeatedly in vlogs. In each vlog Phil said he paid Christ at least 2 grand but refused to show any kind of receipt while Chris did have have the receipt.

 

[Keystone]

He's so fucked that he fucked himself on his fucked stream just to to double fuck himself. That dumb fuck.

In seriousness though, I don't think this will get him booted from twitch, or his sponsorship canned. Man vs Game admitted to being an amphetamine addict last year and there have been a handfull of other twitch streamers who have blown their load on cam but suffered nothing major from it.

But I do agree that his twitch career is dead though. He's already seen as a joke by the twitch & yt world at large and this will make it permanent. If he was competent he could spin this, but lol.

I wonder if he is even mentally capable of holding down a job at this point?

He lost his actual job years ago because he wasn't (more or less).

He sure as shit ain't any better nowadays.

Ah.

I know that it can be really easy to come across as sarcastic through text, but I do want to genuinely thank you, Piett, Tarni, and Bridge to Nowhere for correcting me. This is admittedly a part of Phil's history that I'm not so knowledgeable on, and it really helps to have my facts straight.

Plus, considering that a few new readers are probably going to be coming to the thread after today's antics, it's good to have things like this come up again for the sake of context.

His computer uses a GTX 460, not a 780ti.

He could stream Rage at max settings and not even use a third of the 780ti's horse power, if that was the case.

 

[The Colonel]

Phil is trying to milk (HA!) this whole situation to his benefit and now it's becoming pathetic. He's even trying to become buddy buddy with AlphaOmegaSin after throwing a bitchfit about him a month ago.

I can't look up social media stuff at work but I'm pretty sure the CPU load was the problem, not the GPU.
And no, it was a top-of-the-line GFX card and not a relic from 2010.

-edit for spelling

It had 6GB of VRAM, whatever it was. And yeah the issue was CPU load cuz he put his expensive af gpu into a budget mobo with the cheapest i7 available.

Isn't the computer saga in his ED if not someone who have complete information about it should add it

He's trying to spin it so that he seems as if he's calm and laughing about a simple mistake.

Problem is, he and his followers are also on twitter and his forums telling each other to answer important DMs, which shows that he's not just laughing at a mistake but actively trying to damage control. For two, even though he's acting blase and 'laughing at himself' about it, he's failing to see that the majority of the internet is laughing at him, not with him.

Of course, for a person who used to attend tournaments under the name 'MonkeySpank', I suppose this is par for the course.

 

[Freshtodeath]

here is the video unboxing his newest computer. He shows some of the parts from the inside
