He said that James killed his wife because he couldn't have sex, implying that James has ED or something. Projection much??? It's been years since I last played SH2 but I'm pretty sure James' problem isn't that he can't get it up, it's that he sees his terminally ill wife as a burden and she's ugly now too so he can't fuck her because he's a massive coomer.
His projection has been off the charts lately. Confession through projection perhaps.

It's not outright spelled out, as most things with Silent Hill 2, but James has a pretty healthy libido. Too much even. Most of the monsters represent this as twisted and mangled forms of female sexuality. Mary not being sexually available any more as she was deteriorating was definitely a part of it, but saying that it was the whole thing... Meh. If that's his takeaway, it's another smoking gun for the closet queen Phil pile. Hell, it's more like old insatiable horndog Phil than happily married with a catson sexless Phil. Maybe he's realizing we're catching on to the fact that he goes to sleep at 4:30, drunk as a skunk, in a separate bedroom from the BBW. In any case it's just so weird to come out and say that'd be a great reason to kill your life partner.

The literal love of your life is dead and you'll never see them again, you'll never talk to them again, you are truly alone and it's all the more cruel because you got a monkey-paw style taste of true love. OH MUSTA KILLED HER BECAUSE HE GOT NO PUSSY ACKACKACKACACK. This is just utter insanity. The reasonable thing if one of the parts has dead loins, I feel, would be to let the other take care of their needs while staying faithful. No need to go straight to actual murder as the first solution. But what do I know, I don't have a 300 pound doordash goblin soulmate.

And to top it off how'd you get that interpretation out of things? Clearly the one who wasn't able to sexually perform was Mary. She got some pretty nasty facial scars, treatment, fear of death, I can imagine one wouldn't feel like their sexiest self in that situation. Mind you, I'm fairly fucking certain James would have still given her high effort, loving sex at the very worst. It's not even that he was repulsed by her at all. So what gives? How'd he get that he couldn't get it up for her? It was love, it wasn't even about just physical attraction to him. Even in the Maria ending, he never once implies that she was just not pretty enough to bang any more.

As for the actual reasons, I'll spoiler them. It does depend on the ending.

Leave: Mary asked James to be put out of her misery. James obliges when she comes home from the hospital for a short stay. He packs her into the car and goes to Silent Hill to off himself afterwards. Laura and Mary forgive him because, well... James really was sad and repentant over the whole affair, and they believe he is a good man. Leave implies it was almost entirely a mercy kill. The reasons are all mixed. James definitely drank a lot and he probably at least hit the strip clubs a couple times, but it's what tips the scales over, not the whole story.

Maria: James killed Mary because she was a burden. He really wanted his life back. This is a thing he says in every ending, but Mary either believes him or not. James is happy to take Maria as a replacement and even advises her to do something about her cough, or she knows what follows. This James was certainly affected the most by the lack of sex, but he also probably resented the complete lack of freedom just as much. The fact that he's not even happy about getting a second chance, rather weary that Maria seems to be sick as well is very telling.

In Water: James just straight up died along with Mary when she got her diagnostic. Sure, they both hung on for a few months but James' mind was made up from the start. He did all he could, he tried to support Mary, read up on medicine books, whatever, but the outcome was always gonna be the same. Without the interference of the city, James would have just drove straight for Toluca Lake with Mary's probably still warm corpse. Now this James didn't give a fuck about the lack of sex, it was the lack of Mary that got him. I'm fairly certain the dude would have done ANYTHING to be with the love of his life. I'm pretty sure he would have sold his soul even for another week. This ending and Leave are probably the best because at it's core Silent Hill 2 is a love story, and it's a pretty good love story. This is the James that would do the Rebirth ritual without thinking twice about it.

EDIT: All of Mary's interactions with James are canon, basically, so the ending only changes based on how he deals with it. It's one of the VERY few instances of a multiple ending that works really well because the situation is very well established. Mary asked to be put out of her misery, James perceived her as hateful and a burden, James started going to strip joints and drinking, and he really deeply loved Mary. Whether he's redeemable or not is one of the biggest questions to the player themselves.

>Game is about James, a deeply troubled and somewhat insecure man, who goes through his self made hell in the town of Silent Hill seeking redemption and wishing for someone to rip his guilt out of him and make him admit his crime and true feelings on why he decided to murder his terminally ill wife, who he saw as a burden and hateful towards him

>"Oh I get it! HE COULDNT GET PUSSY! HUEHAHEHUHAHEHUHAHE!"

Help! Heeelp! :stress:
 
I don't know why but Warski sandbagging the whole conversation annoys me to no end.
All of this gassing up of Phil is PPP's idea. Warski is afraid of going too far as a yes man and saying something that offends Phil. Or worse, being forced to sub in as Phil's tech support.

Switch the body types and you've got Kino Casino

I'm also looking forward to the Wings interview. Compared to Phil, Wings is a Nobel Prize laureate, I mean, the guy knows what's a predicate and 6x12. But seriously, Wings can be somewhat insightful when talking with people, especially people he can bully and feel superior to, and he's shown before that he thinks Phil is beneath him. So far, Phil hasn't talked with someone who REALLY gets off on bullying him, and Wings is still butthurt about the 50k Phil costed him and Boogie so I can totally see Richard tearing Phil a new one.

Also, unlike Phil, Wings isn't afraid of talking with detractors. We have seen Wings multiple times going to talk with his trolls (the famous Lions Den) and aside the first time, he came out on top every other time. As far as confronting people goes, Wings is 100 times the man Phil isn't, so please, PLEASE make this happen. Phil doesn't seem to realize that Wings really doesn't think fondly of him and he has much better reasons than the other guests.

Speaking of Kino Casino, the way they talk about Phil... how can he possibly think they're cool? I know Phil is an autistic hermit, but they talk about Phil the same way Phil talks about Kat or Jayde. It's honestly sad, I know Phil doesn't have any integrity and self-respect but come on, how can you watch that and think these are the guys you want to hang with? Also, how hasn't Phil noticed that Warski doesn't even talk about him? It's like he checks out the second Phil is mentioned.
 
He wakes up at 10:30AM after 5 hours of drunk sleep, still drunk from the night before. He has a hair of the dog and a bagel and waddles upstairs to start the stream.
You make the choice to sleep 5-6 hours when you don't want to have dreams. I sometimes do this too - sleep less than usual because I want deep dreamless sleep. I can imagine Phil does not have the best dreams. Not the kind he wants anyway - where he is the king of everything and everyone bows to him. So it makes sense for him to try to "ban" them from his subconsciousness.

Or he simply wants to avoid his wife for as long as possible. This makes even more sense.
 
For newcomers to the Vortex Phil
* Was hired by his own father.
* Showed up so late he couldn't always get to Burger King (may have been Mcdonald's, either way one of the big chains) on his drive in before they stopped serving breakfast.
* Eventually got so far behind the company gave him a laptop so he could catch up at home
* Got an Ace six-sigma certification, the training for which was coordinated by..... his father.
* Got booted from a carpool for night classes because he bought the Connectikhando to impress a woman who rode with him
* Dropped out of said night classes rather than drive himself
* Got transferred multiple times internally

All in the span of about four years (he claims he started working at the helicopter plant in 2005, but he appealed his unemployment benefits denial after getting fired by Best Buy in 2006) before getting laid off. If he were just a few years younger you can bet he'd have been suspended or fired over calling somebody a faggot.
You forgot the best part: left work early one day because his Microsoft account got hacked and they reset his account. Instead of waiting till work is done he drove straight to his condo to reactivate it again AND make a Youtube video telling his fanbase that he can now play XBox again. He put more time and "effort" into gaming then his actual job. Probably because he got at least some form of validation from his fans back then (though as shown by Joon even the early comments weren't exactly nice)

And let's be real he wasn't qualified for the job at Sikorsky. At all. What job experience did he have at that point? Working at a movie theater (he was fired from that haha), working at the "health snack shop" (was fired there too) worked for Wells Fargo (unpaid this time, worst salesman ever), worked at Best Buy (fired because of misuse of employer's discount which to me sounds more like a front to get rid of him). I seriously doubt he had the actual skillset to work at the job he got at sikorsky. And from what I can gather that job wasn't even that hard (a support desk employee) And let's not forget unlike his now offical claims that he was blindsided in his "I am fired" video he actually says "It was a long time coming" He knows why he got fired. He just bends reality so he isn't hurt by it.

And the clipping is still going strong as it seems

A retarded question since I'm stoned atm. Is there any legitimate proof that Phil had sex before? Phil being a 42 year old virgin with rage would explain alot especially his father/son relationship with Derish and why he lower himself to thrist over people like LTG, PPP and Reviewtechusa.
It's funny to imagine Phil as a 42 year old virgin because he does act like one but it's extremely unlikely. He and Panda dated for half a decade and she very clearly had a sex drive. I highly doubt she would have just been okay with them never sleeping together for that long. There is also more then one photo of them in bed together.

I still think Phil's best option for interviews would be bringing in a carefully cultivated set of detractors. He just needs to select the ones approximately in his intellect range (which is a good chunk of them) and learn how to use a mute button in case things get overly rowdy. He'd make good money on those streams (KC whales would love some Internet slapfights) and would probably earn some street cred for being willing to "engage with criticism". Heck, if he could master the "Can you believe this?" look to the camera as Retard A goes off on some obscure, rambling point, he'd probably sway some of those ironic fans into back being actual fans.

So, doody right? he's the only regular one i can think of with a voice, that doesn't just clip. He's a pussy, claims he had a chance to take him down and didn't do it. Would rather just keep the gravy (monetization) train going but thought to much of himself and wanted to be a regular actor in this arc. And got destroyed by keem. He's harmless to phil. literally. Kingslytee puts a name too it but i don't know myself if phil has even recognized him by name.

TBH he should have Tevin on to bury the hatchet and apologize for comparing him to actual criminals who deal drugs because he restreamed him and made fun of him.

suprcrzy also fits the bill considering he was threatening a lolsuit and was also grifting fundraising for it and goes very MATI when talking about Phil. James The Lesser could also be a contender. Hell, Steve of the Dead might even look somewhat unhinged if he brings up the "DSP's style of petting his cat is actually cat foreplay" rants.

Also speaking of the interviews, Phil accidentally showed who he's also been talking with at 3am. That last message in Boogie's set might as well be Phil's epitaph.

So, 2 possible fans who believe DSP still likes video games, 1 dent who may be stoking the drama fires, certified Lolcow Boogie, and Arturo Sanchez....

Now Arturo is in quite a situation after a legal order (maybe a judgement, maybe mediation; I forget) to pay back a former friend he scammed out of money. In no sane world would DSP want to even get close to that comparison to his own history....and that's the irony. DSP likely does not want to talk to Arturo about the old FGC days. Arturo was told he was acting like DSP when he was coping and lying about a different alleged money scamming situation. DSP wants to "clear that up" in an effort to prove he "isn't that bad".
