As others said he went from hating the Switch to pre-ordering it right after he found out SF2 was on it.

After all his whining about being broke; he just Pre-Ordered a $300 console.

Strange how all his "too sick to work" days are on Fridays which are errand/date days.

He just added two goals to buy new gaming hardware to his Patreon because he "couldn't afford to do so without help." Granted he removed one of them, but he fully intended for other people to pay for his stuff because he supposedly didn't have the funds to do it himself. And now he's dropping $300 on a new console, on a whim. He is treating this like a candy bar you impulse buy at the supermarket checkout line. He either is drastically overselling his financial crisis situation, or he is not thinking about the relationship between his income and spending.

Basically, he is either lying or stupid. Hanlon's razor states to never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity; but with Phil it tends to be a coin toss.

Yeah, and it usually looks like this:

Also, I like to add that DSP plans to not do a vlog on the Nintendo Switch presentation...you know....a pretty freaking huge event for gaming. It was almost an E3 presentation.

But a Vlog for getting verified or Real Estate? OH, BOY! HOPE MY VOICE HOLDS OUT!!

Should we be surprised? This is the guy that thought that a sloth was slower than a bridge, after all.

Because that is what we need. His PRO insight in Real Estate.

Phil keeps giving us such Joy. Every youtuber is talking about Nintendo. Every streamer on this world KNOWS about Nintendo. But well not Phil, he has other things to do. Important things. I am sure he does this because the others are doing nintendo vlogs.

I needed this laugh. Phil keep on trucking, keep giving us the good stuff.

Didn't he have some kind of meltdown related to Nintendo and the Wii or Wii U? What was the deal with that?

The issue was Nintendo was basically losing. And losing badly. Besieged on all fronts by the end of the Gamecube era with the rise of mobile gaming, ultra-high def gaming and the rise of the "bro gamer" when we went through the mid-2000's cavalcade when every game seemed to be a shoot-em-up, Nintendo was really at risk of going the same was as SEGA.

The WII completely reversed their fortunes in that it broke into the wider gaming market bring in a lot of casual players who bought it to play stuff together while drunk and stuff like the wii fit board. To the point the Wii was the only console at one point that made money per unit.

They then fucked up with the Wii U which is technically another console but nobody bought it because they thought it was just an upgrade, so nobody bought it.

I personally like the look of the switch, but that's just me. I like the idea of having a controller than can snap to the screen and console proper kind of fun.

The problem with the Wii U was that it was called the Wii U.

I've learned a few things regarding personality traits.

Firstly, you attract people with similar personalities and traits as yours. Same with the values you consider important. Second, the people you choose to associate with will begin to affect your values and traits. Spend time with someone of high moral character, and you are more likely to pick up on their traits and values. KG, BSV, and DSP all feed into the collective paranoia about the detractor bogeyman. It doesn't surprise me that DSP's closest and most hardcore fanboys would be similar to him.

Spend time with shit, and you eventually start to stink.

This also explains why his most obsessive detractors (Sons of Kojima) also seem to have similar personality traits to Phillip.

P.S. happy page 900 guys.

I want to see Phil's thoughts on this:


For those keeping count, yes this is the 8th fucking version of Street Fighter 2. Could this be a terrible version like the Playstation version of Super Turbo? Who knows.

You know he's going to play it, suck at it, then cry about it.

The key difference is that this is the game he was known for playing when he attended tournaments. This is the only fighting game, perhaps the only game ever, where he could be considered good at. His fucking 4th place win for the shitty Playstation version of Super Turbo is going to be on his gravestone. I honestly wouldn't put it past him to do that.

He's going to play it and I look forward to the ensuing shitshow. I'm also curious to see just how atrophied his skills at the game have become.
