DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[For The Internet]

I love it when Phil plays series I know inside out like Resident Evil and Persona because I know what he's doing wrong so it makes his exploits even more insane.

The one series I can't stand to see him play is Silent Hill. I can only watch TIHYDPs of it because I love 1-4 so much and seeing him blame Team Silent for his mistakes and bumble through even the easiest puzzles (and then say at the end it was a privilege to play) autistically pisses me off.

I wonder if Phil knows it's the same guy he keeps playing against, if he even pays attention to the other person's username at all.

There's also a delicious irony in Phil repeatedly losing to the same guy who started TIHYDP, especially since he most likely doesn't realize it.

At first Phil would decline/pretend he didn't see AJ challenge him. But you can change your user name on the Switch very easily, which is what AJ has been doing now and there's no way for Phil to know it's him.
It's hilarious how AJ is better at street fighter than DSP when it's his game. There's something poetic about that.
Also Phil's been beating up on scrubs and getting like 5 points each, while AJ has been farming Phil and getting like 200 points each time.

What has everyone's reaction been when they see Phil try games that you like and are actually ok at? His Devil May Cry playthroughs left me screaming at the screen to learn how Nero's Buster works.

Oh boy. There were times when I was screaming at the screen, like with MGS3 specifically The End fight, for him to use his thermal goggles for once.
Then there were parts I laughed my ass off like in RE3 where he went after Nemesis on yellow caution status WITHOUT a weapon (he accidentally unequipped it)
Mostly I just laugh at his fails (GTA SA, him killing Ryder accidentally with the boxes AND THEN BLAMING IT ON HIM) cringe at his "commentary" (Persona 5 has to have some of the worst commentary from him in a long time) and occassionally just outright facepalm and try to endure it (probably scream a bit because of how idiotic he can be) like MMX3 and RE5 (original playthrough)'s final boss fights.

I feel like gated communities aren't that common. Where I live even the luxury places aren;t surrounded by a gate. DSP must really be nervous about detractors to find that place.

The actual gate that surrounds the complex isn't even anything special. Barely any better looking than a rent-a-fence construction companies use -- the picture of it is floating around here somewhere. Any able bodied, relatively in-shape person could hop the thing no problem.

There are gates at each access point to Phil's street in Renton, WA:

Spoiler: Rinky dink gate connected to a short wood fence

Spoiler: Slightly more impressive gate just off main highway

 

[Taily Puff]

I feel like I could go out drinking with my friends and wind up on the other side of that 'gated' community completely on accident.

Also I thought people were a little too harsh on Phil in his Binding of Isaac playthrough. For a first timer the game honestly doesn't explain a lot and has a pretty sharp learning curve. It throws a lot at you and is deliberately random, so it takes a while to get accustomed to it.

But then I go watch his RE:3 playthrough and remember what a massive failure he is at gaming, and I realize no matter how long he played BoI he'd never get better.

His MGS3 Videos left me brain dead for years

For me that was in his Borderlands playthrough; whenever you open a chest and mouse over a weapon, it shows the weapon's value in dollars (if you want to sell it later). Enter Goutman, who didn't pick up a single weapon from a chest because he thought you had to buy the weapons from inside the chests.

The PS2 GTA games are to me what Phil's MGS playthroughs are to most people. My personal favorite moments are both in San Andreas. There's that construction site mission where you have to drop a guy into a hole and bury him in cement; Phil took the "back into position" instructions too literally and backed the cement truck itself into the hole; it's a quintessential DSP moment to me. Slamming the controller after hitting the prostitute in the Jizzy B mission is another classic. "WUU, I hit the gir... FUCK DIS STOOPID FUCKIN' MISSION!"

Driving games are my forte, and Phil is just the worst at driving in video games. It's hilarious how many times he drives straight into other vehicles on the road and claims that "pedestrians" are driving into him. And don't get me started on how many trees he hit in Forza Horizon 3. This guy is blind AND stupid!

Thats because he does not wear his glasses cause he is a dandified fuck. Its proven from time to time that he cant see the tv properly, and when he is called out, he said he doesnt have to wear glasses indoors.

Of all the things I'd call Phil, a dandy is somewhere near dead last.

 

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

Persona 4 made me tear my hair out. It's voiced, how do you mispronounce so many character's names?? He missed getting first strike almost every time, he made sex jokes about a 15 year old, he couldn't figure out how to change the map controls (you had to select "confirm" after changing anything in options) he'll, it took him several minutes to figure out how to ENTER HIS NAME (he made the same mistake in P3).

Maybe my wording was wrong, its not my native language. What I meant is that he does not want people to see him wearing a glasses on stream.

"Narcissist" or "insecure" is probably what you're looking for. A dandy is someone who is obsessed with fashion and looking good. Phil's too much of a slob to be one.

Ah; you meant, 'Gout-infested tub of lard'.

 

[Eekum Bokum]

His inability to play Pokemon games triggers me. Voicing every bit of dialogue, giving pokemon stupid names like sealtard (that caused my wife to flip out) never remembering type strengths and weaknesses.

And constantly accusing the game of cheating because it has a move he's weak to.

It really is amusing to see a 35 yr old man flip out over a game designed for 3 yr olds

 

[Freshtodeath]

The worst for me was probably Banjo Kazooie. I wanted to see him fuck up but he used a guide. He was too dumb to beat a game I did when I was 10. If he hadn't used a guide he would have been stuck on beach level forever.

 

[PL 879]

This kind of trolling of Phil cracks me up. Especially at that time of the night when he's just thinking about heading to bed

 

[Freshtodeath]

PHil seemed a little extra salty on the SF stream last night. IDK if he was drinking or what but he was pretty vile and nasty.

Crash Bandicoot, any one of them. Mainly because CB1 was the first game I ever played, so the entire series has that loving nostalgia feeling behind it; plus they're really good games to this day. But watching him play them was just awful. Like I know people say his MGS3 playthrough is his worst, but I feel that his Crash playthrough is even worse, especially considering how fake and obnoxious he was acting the entire time.
