DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Collections Agent]

Narcissistic people's skewed self worth often makes them think that everyone's out to get them, especially if they are unpopular and not getting all the asspats they desire.

It's pretty common actually.

Phil has shown in exactly which rooms of his house all of the more expensive items are located. Speaking strictly hypothetically, a person would only need to be in there for a few minutes in order to clear the place out. His address is very common knowledge, and the gates at the end of his street are somewhat of a deterrent, but as evidenced the smaller one can easily be hopped over.
Thus whether subconsciously or in a desperate attempt to prove his own manhood, self-defense measures for where he lives are in order.
I'd choose a 12-gauge shotgun over a Dragon Age sword.

Huh. How nice of Phil. He's making it easy just in case someone wants to do a speedrun at his house.

 

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

For anyone who's interested, Dojima World Order' s Persona TIHYDPs are always my favorite, and they seemed to put a good amount of effort into this one. Enjoy.

Has science gone too far?

So what you're saying is that, because of how Phil's shown us everything in his house and we know where he lives, it's entirely possible for a detractor to make his worst nightmare come true by posing as a gardener and robbing him blind so long as they can beat a 250-pound potato in a sword fight?

 

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

This whole train of thought has arrived at a really weird place.

More like watch a 250 pound potato try and swing a sword at you, get tired, and then do that weird blind range tackle that people with little or no experience at fighting do. Then you have to contend with a 250 pound man child sitting on you flailing madly.

In which case go for the eyes.

Seriously though, how much does a basic 9mm handgun cost in the US? Surely that, or a baseball bat is far more effective means of telling someone to get back.

I bought a new 9mm about five years ago for target shooting, and it cost me about $500. It wasn't sized to be a decent concealed carry weapon, though.

Ironically, his house tour videos would likely deter a would-be burglar because they show that his idea of valuable items are videogame crap and a signed wrestling picture.

A decent wooden bat costs anywhere between 20-50 bucks; $150+ if you want a genuine Louisville Slugger.

And there is no waiting period or licenses to get for bat.

It depends on the brand. A Ruger P95 (which almost became the military's standard issue sidearm) will set you back somewhere between $300 to $400. But if you want a good home defense gun, get a 12 gauge pump action shotgun. Just pump the action whenever you hear someone breaking into your house and chances are they'll go running before you ever see them.

or just go to goodwill or craigslist and buy a used one for like $10
or get a dog
or an alarm system

Easy now, remember, a dog is another mouth to feed for phil.

He don't want something that costs him money.

-1 previous owner, in fair condition; bleach and rag to remove blood stains not included
-Phil would John Flynt that dog, guaranteed
-He'd forget the code immediately. "Wow dood, I fucking pressed the button to turn it off and it won't work! ACK ACK ACK stoopid fuckin' security panel. *Smacks the panel* Stahp doing that."

The shotgun doesn't even need to be loaded unless dealing with multiple invading detractors...stick it in an intruder's face and watch them tinkle themselves.
Also, although it is something of a moot point now that Phil is living alone but still important since there are neighbors on both sides, a 12-gauge shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot is really nice because then a miss fire will explode the drywall and most likely not penetrate through walls to harm an innocent bystander.

Phil would screw all this up and probably end up firing the weapon backwards or directly into a natural gas line, but for the normal responsible homeowner the advice is sound.

 

[BatChatillon]

DSP having a gun will only end in him self-mutilating in an accident, since it's possible that this time triggers actually work on something he holds in his hand.

A guard-dog or a dog in general for protection will be part of Bad Things Happening To Animals if he decides to get one. Not only does a dog need a lot of care, we have already seen how Phil refused to help Leanna when she had her anxiety attack. Imagine Phil taking the dog for a walk ... that's not going to happen. Worse, he will become jealous of the dog because the dog would get more sympathy from the fans than he gets. Also worried viewers might call PETA when they see how he treats the dog. Phil has shown that he has no social skills at all, and even handling a dog will be too much for him.

A security system would be funn, though. I can totally see that: Phil buying the most over-priced alarm system with the least functions, and it will set off itself during sleep, during his streams or whenever, and he will sit there and have no clue how to turn it off. He sure will make streams and vlogs though, telling us that he has to wait for X days until a technical support will show up. Remember the fire alarm that set off and he didn't bother to stop it yet he sill made his FF XII Lightning Returns Hateful Truth video. An automatic security system for his house would be pure gold.

 

[FapCupFanta]

The other thing is that Phil wants that appearance of a total badass. His constant threats of violence against people he doesn't like are proof enough of that. So getting a dog or an alarm system would mean he's letting go of his perceived intimidation factor and giving that power to something else. He's not willing to do that. If you cross him, then he reasons you need to fear him.

 

[Le Redditeur Part Deux]

Please, no guns for Mr. Bacon Grease in the Toilet. His greasy fingers will manage to misfire a gun either on his own face or in some innocent bystander.

Now, a vydia greatsword from a game he doesn't particularly like, that sounds like something Phil can use to embarrass himself without harming innocent people. Probably.

 

[PL 879]

BSV has made his return to Phil's stream chat under the Twitch username DarthRadovanViking.
DSP didn't sound too thrilled to see him. "Oh, yeah that's Vidar's new name after a bit of a hiatus" he said somberly and utterly devoid of emotion just moments after BSV had plunked down a 1000 bit cheer like his typical boot licking self.
