DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

I'd suggest aim assist and lock on but apparently that for mccree scrubs
And I quote
"Mommy I'm a cowboy"

To be fair, the hitboxes on headshots in Overwatch is pretty ridiculous. I think even Phil can get the occasional headshot with McCree or Hanzo. Emphasis on "occasional."

 

[UncleTusky]

To be honest, I can't see this being about his parents. Don't they still throw him some money now and again anyways? If anything, they offered and Phil did his "I can't afford to take a day off" routine.

They do, his dad paid for his entire income tax bill and Leanna's Christmas present last year. He may have also helped pay one the mortgages, I can't remember. My guess is that Phil doesn't want to see them for whatever reason.

Maybe they give him a choice, either they pay for him to come home or just give him some cash, guess which one Phil would take? Or they are both retired and Dsp made over six grand this month, so if he wants to come home he can afford it.

Do you have proof of this?

"Pledge $1125 to my patreon to see me wear a disguse on halloween! BTW, I can't afford it despite hitting that ludicrous goal.
P.S. Thank you, you fucking worthless human beings, for the pledge!"

Two months in a row he got money for that stupid goal and yet he still can't afford it?

I'm guessing it's a lie just so he can buy the cheapest custome and keep the most money for himself.

Maybe money isn't the issue here, but rather Phil would just be embarrassed having to see his parents face to face being in the condition he is in.

I had a similar thought along these same lines. Last time he saw his parents was right after the Homefront video blew up so he probably thought his Youtube career was saved and could brag a bit to his parents. By the end of the year he was pan handling on Twitch. Now after losing Machinima, Leanna, and his channel going downhill the only thing he can brag about is how good he is at suckering people out of money. Now he has some mysterious problem which, if real, could send him back to CT, something he refuses to do and the reasons have to go further then taxes.

Phil loves to pretend to be happy and positive but this year has cracked that mask to pieces. Phil Burnell is a bitter, broken, 35 year old manchild who's official "job" is playing video games on the internet but what makes him money is drama and pity. Nobody would want to look their parents in the eye with that resume.

When random people happen to stumble upon Phil's stream:

EDIT:

Also love how even Phil's "supporters" are basically lowkey making fun of him non stop:

Phil's playing the senior citizen's specialty game.

I suck with those two characters and even I can pull off headshots on occasion - you simply have to take your time and aim (particularly with Hanzo, his split arrow skill is basically a guaranteed kill if fired at an enemy's head in a corridor).

Or there's Soldier: 76 who is basically your bog-standard FPS rifleman with a heal and run skillset...and the Targeting Visor Ult. which is basically a free aimbot. He's the tutorial character for this reason.

 

[neger psykolog]

Phil's current stream is great because there are basically no opponents repeatedly. Phil sits there repeatedly scanning the lobby for opponents.

He then reminds everyone, that due to his super efficient streaming schedule he's going to be playing the game for an hour more.

I never knew playing games with empty lobbies could be so fucking regimented.

If the game is bad
If there are no opponents

Play something else?

stream sniped

Yeah, considering a player did get banned for stream sniping in PUBG. I can see Phil trying to get trolls with that

That's starting to bite them in the ass though.

If streamers don't want to get sniped then they should put a delay on their own streams.

Don't forget the infamous fap incident. This year has been great in terms of lol content by DSP. One fuck up to another. I wonder what is next.... whatever it is he will still crawl out of it like the cockroach he's been.

 

[CausticMinory]

Pre-stream is still going. 50 minutes and counting of an ad screen and snorting. How does he have actual fans?

His "fans" strike me as those people that watch public access fundraisers that show a little concert the nothing but ads for 20 minutes in between.

 

[Christopher Alyre Fleming]

He has to make sure he is the first person to try to sucker those kids out of their Christmas money, if he waits even a day there may be some bullshit natural disaster that steals Phil's hard earned money.

He doesn't have to try & sucker them. His fans will take pity on him & he'll get big bucks on Christmas eve/day. And because he's such a pathetic person, he'll take those generous donations as a sign that his fans "really care about him".

 

[CausticMinory]

Wow holy shit. I guess we're not missing much by him playing PC.
He obviously cannot even use a mouse properly.

Whenever you have to ask why Phil never plays PC games just remember, Black Mesa and WoW

 

[CartmanKusanagi]

My guess is that Phil doesn't want to see them for whatever reason.

I figure at this point Phil would only visit his parents/have them visit him if it benefited him in some way. Remember that they did his chores for him helped clean his house the last time they visited.

Spoiler

I wonder if it has anything to do with not getting that Wolverine toy. I'm only half-joking.

 

[UncleTusky]

Do you have proof of this?

He mentioned the taxes in prestream in April of this year. It gets worse... he asked his dad for a certain amount to cover his tax bill exactly. As it turned out, he wound up owing less than he asked for... and just pocketed the difference. He's scamming his own parents.

Presents he also mentioned in prestream, I believe it was late last year.

Phil can't even use him right

Uses health grenades on himself / thrown before combat
One man army / up front / zero cover
Uses auto aim ultimate on solo targets or as seen in the Chinese new year session on empty screens or after all enemy's wiped. In fact regardless of character Phil fires his ultimate the second it fills never giving regard to position and situation.

Honestly Phil offers zero support to his team other than occasionally having them stumble into his heal radius, his MO is to tank centre with every character.
It's why he sucked so hard at battlefield or sw battlefront because he plays team games like a solo experience.

Shame.
The answer is shame.
Phil is too much of a coward to race his parents knowing even with all his "great fans" he is still failing at proving he can still can make his life work out.
