DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[BatChatillon]

Buying new furniture or a new cushion is not part of his Minimum Effort Method. He couldn't even hang up a new poster or place some figurines somewhere. No, it has to be the exact same view every time. The only thing that changes is Phil himself, looking worse and worse.

Also he still wears Beanies at home when he mocked Troy Baker for wearing a scarf inside of a studio. Can't wait when it's Christmas time again so he can wear that smelly Santa cap (but I remember him saying some of the dumbest stuff when he wore it).

He knows he won't get views but will play Destiny 2 anyways? I know I asked already, but what's the point?

When you think about it, Phil shows two sets of contempt:
1) Contempt for the developer/publisher, because he's willing to make money parasitically off of their entertainment product whilst not even buying a copy, and insulting the product by saying it's not worth buying;
2) Contempt for his audience by playing a game he has undisguised loathing for, meaning his Destiny 2 khantent will be even lazier and more unpleasant than usual. Then he gets to blame his audience for "not supporting the stream".

abp has some weird contract with twitch to not block the ads. ublock works fine.

They don't have any kind of contract, Twitch.tv is not on their unobtrusive ads list, and the AdblockPlus people do not author filter lists. I don't know where you came up with that idea. That being said, the most likely reason for ads to start appearing is because Twitch themselves are serving them. They're big enough and trusted enough to do it on behalf of those advertisement providers, maybe even big enough to bypass those providers and start accepting bids for ads on their own. Some Orwellian contract will probably never have anything to do with it.

One random thought that popped into my head: Most streamers/youtubers change the layout of their location every once in a while, so that it doesn't get stale. New room, new chair, new layout. TV shows do this too. But Phil hasn't changed a thing since moving to Washington... not even the unicorn cushion... in 3 years. It really shows a sense of stagnation. He has no intention of relaunching, reinvogorating, or simply livening up his output in any way. He is rotting away in this prison of his own making.

Strangely enough I just heard Phil mention the other office in his big expensive house: Leanna's office, which he described as "A worthless room that's not used at all"... blissfully unaware that his choice of words was projecting some angry feelings.

The advertisement creep is pretty funny though. Soon his stream will look like Nascar

"He guys my back feels better and my gout went away! *snort* I feel so good dood!"

>Eats enough processed meat and cheese for a whole family

The idea sounds good but his presentation sucks. Melt the cheese and make it just one sandwich and it's good to go.

This is one pic per quarter using the WIPs he uploaded to YouTube from 2014 to July. Tried to find him right at the start, not making a face, mouth closed, eyes open, and looking at the camera. Was actually kind of hard. He seems to only close his mouth when he's either not looking at the camera or also opening his mouth.

Someone should donate an empty box.

 

[Um Oh Ah Yeah]

Someone should donate an empty box.

With a signed business card

 

[NotreallyPutin]

What would he call his restaurant? "Burnell's"? "Phil's?" "Darksyde Italian food"

"The rusty Stream chat"

"Leanna's"

"Bit-fil-a"

"Gout eye's"

"The Tilted Back"

"Caphyright"

What's the point? He spent the beta, for over a half hour, shitting on the first game, Halo, Bungie, and it's fans. Then he cried low views and lack of interest.

He knows he won't get views but will play Destiny 2 anyways? I know I asked already, but what's the point?

Destiny was a really polarizing game in its first year. It also seemed to serve as a learning experience for Bungie in how the company handles such a different kind of content system for a shooter. It's not so important to be the first to play through a game like Destiny or Destiny 2, so Phil shouldn't be getting his man-tits in a tizzy about having it on launch day. Reports are starting to come in from places like that Bungie put a ton of content into Destiny 2 after seeing the complaints from players who blazed through the first game so quickly. The game supposedly has legs. So it's not going to be about just blasting through the game due to a minimal amount of content like it was in the first one.

Destiny 1 actually has a fairly active streamer community, despite its easily-completed story content. Certain high-profile content creators will stream things like community raid runs, runs through various PvE content to acquire B-roll footage for videos, and endgame PvP modes. The trackers on Twitch show pretty high numbers for Destiny at normal hours. If Destiny 2 happens to bring the content the way that sources are saying it is, the game could have some serious legs to it. There could very well be a lot to show off on a stream. However, people won't bother watching a person who is shit at both entertaining an audience and playing the game. Phil will likely get the game on launch thanks to whatever bootlicker of the week buys it for him, but his numbers won't last past a week. Not when there are plenty of other established and more respected people in that game's community that will draw an audience and make it interesting and worth the time.

It looks like he aged 10 years in the span of three years...I guess he ages about as poorly as his content does.

I'm surprised it was as much of a hit as it was considering there was no PC release. No PC release for a game like that is insane.

Doesn't really matter if the game's good or not, we can all look forward to Phil only getting 600-700 viewers (at best) on opening day and that week. Of all the schadenfreude I get from this guy and his sad life and "job" one of my favorite aspects is how he can't pull in decent views for new games, even ones that are anticipated

Googled "Siren Blood Curse artwork" and this was about 5th row in image search. Fan googled, scrolled down once to not be "lazy," fucked up the face so it looks like Phil with down syndrome, said good enough, and sent it in. The blame really falls on Dsp for using any of this copy paste bullshit. Has anyone ever asked him why he uses these awful pictures? Does he think it is so bad it's funny? This is one of those Dsp things that has always baffled me. If it is because of laziness it take less effort to not use them at all.

Eh, that was Marvel 2 as well. Especially if you were fighting a Cable with meter or a Magneto. Plus Iron Man had an infinite.

Even more ironic considering he liked Marvel 1 and that game was all about Touch Of Death bullshit with top tier. That game's balance was far worse than Marvel 2 or 3.

IIRC, the absolute best character was Red Venom/Carnage to the point of being the only god tier character in MVC1. By comparison, in MVC2 you had at least 4 god tier characters and the high/top tier could compete fairly well. Sure, still pretty bad but eons better than MVC1 was.

fftopic:

Tiers in MvC 1 worked like this:

God tier:
Red Venom, Strider, Wolverine, War Machine and Gold War Machine.

Mid tier:

Everyone else.

Garbage tier:

Roll.

All of the God Tier characters could kill in one combo excluding Strider and Gold War Machine. Strider and Gold War Machine were chip kill monsters*. You can do really stupid shit with War Machine/Strider or War Machine/Gold War Machine as your team and get 50% damage just in chip.

Phil mained a weird Wolverine/Hulk team so he definitely knows about that. Or at least he used to. Maybe he's got Alzheimers?

MvC 2 was a little bit different. Top tier consisted of roughly 7-8 characters. Maybe 10 characters. With some of those characters being exclusively used as Assists. But because it was a 3 on 3 game the game play had more diversity than MvC 1.

*Chip kill is when you're blocking an attack and it's still doing some damage. So you can be forced into a situation where it doesn't matter if you correctly block, you will get chipped to death.

ah thanks, didn't know. I thought Strider and the others were top/high but not god tier.

Back on topic: Phil has stated he hates SA2.

Keep in mind, he's stated he unironically liked Sonic 06. Further proof Phil has no taste in games whatsoever.
