DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Dragoonism]

Sorry, what I meant to say is , do you think DSP realizes why his TIHYDP's failed in views and why others don't. Do you think he actually believes it's viewbots or just another random straw for him to grasp at?

I think he is smarter than we give credit for, so im leaning towards that he don't believe in the use of viewbots, it is just something he uses in hope discrediting the creators.

If he actually understands why his "own" TIHYDP failed i doubt though, he launched his on a saturated YT market and to add to that his was pretty poorly made and not what they claimed to be, eg the original ones just showed how bad of a gamer he really was out right, while his showed some bad moments at random and that was supposed to be funny while trying to praise him.
Think that his attempt of marketing them as the only "real" TIHYDP worked a lot against him.

WHY DSP HAS PROBLEMS WITH HIS VOICE

There are a number of reasons why Phil has problems with a strained voice. Take notes Phil.

Warming up
Radio/tv hosts, voice actors, etc tend to warm up their voices before long periods of use like you would your body before a long race.

The less screaming the better
They also learn to put emotion into their voice without straining it. You would think after so many years he'd learn you can convey the same energy and tone much easier than just shouting into the mic as loud as he can.

Soda
Soda and caffeine are awful and will make a voice even worse if you have a worn out throat. Seeing how he downs those energy drinks all the time, probably isn't the best thing.

Greasy Food
This can be murder on an already strained voice. Since he's a sponsor of Hungry Man dinners, this does not help either.

Alcohol
Alcohol numbs your body....including vocal chords. Mr. Gin while screaming about his lost Leanna could damage his voice and not even know it until the next day.

The Back
It is possible that his back injury maaaaay affect it because let's face it, we've seen his posture, he slouches a lot. This may cause some underlying problem but doubtful.

Conclusion
So there you have it. The man, the myth, the wonder that is DSP does just about everything you can do to destroy your own voice. That's my rant.

It's really a wonder why he doesn't have more problems tbh. He should at least drink some decaffinated tea at night. A little tea with lemon and honey would go a long way.

Nah he just has Polyps that he will turn into cancer once people stop paypigging him for the house.

They're getting old, and it's been years. Getting old and decrepit is a pre existing condition everyone is born with. I don't think you realize how much of a pain it is for elderly to travel.

Of course I do, but I know that they were fine enough to travel to Phil's house not too long ago as well. So my question is simple did they have the health problems before or after the last time they visited Phil? Because if they were in such bad shape that it made traveling impossible when they came and helps him paint Leanna's office, clean his house, and prevent it from catching on fire then it seems a little suspect as they don't SEEM as sick as I'm supposed to believe they are. Then again if Phil is trying to argue that it happened recently then that could be a little more believable, but you still can't take Phil's word for it and the truth may be that his parents told him straight out they're not flying across the country to do shit for him whenever he wants them too.Either way I still believe his parents visiting is a more likely explanation than his fake girlfriend until there's proof she actually exists. Then again he could just be really pulling out all the stops to make this fake girlfriend story as legit as possible that he planned out the travel snafu as well as other situations ahead of time down to the last detail. But I don't believe Phil is that smart where he'd write the script and not fuck it up somehow.

 

[Si vis pacem para bellum]

I honestly think he makes the best videos to give a good tl;dw

I like his vids too but he overuses the clips he made. If they were sprinkled about a bit more or some varying humor, ok but it's a bit lazy and annoying to watch when there is as much WHY AM I TOXIC as actual new stuff. The clips are funny, just overused.

The youngest likely are, is in their late 50's. It's more likely they are in their 60's. At that age you start to notice health issues pile on by the year, and as you progress they pop up by the month. Having been around quite a few older people, it's strange to watch as a young, neigh invincible youth and know that soon you're going to be in a phase where much of your health is a concern everyday, and things will start to break down/go wrong on the regular not too long after. The closer you are to 70 the more random health issues loom and death could take you anyday for any number of reasons.

Understandable. In the end I'm just making speculations based on what I believe is the probability of it being true. I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I can't easily discount the possibility all the same. I think we can both agree that the lengths Phil is going too is just making it more suspicious, and at least in my opinion I still don't believe that any girl is coming to visit Phil. Which goes into the last thing I said in my last post that the only other possibility is that Phil is so dedicated to this lie he's making up all these bad situations to make it seem more believable. But I don't fully want to commit to that since like I said Phil isn't smart enough or a good enough actor to be convincing.

 

[Jmboote]

Kiiiiind of off-topic to what's being discussed right now, but I find it pretty hilarious that Phil can't see the irony behind posting a tweet talking about being positive and full of Christmas cheer...and caps it off by telling the detractors to fuck themselves and that they're toxic (for the third time, now?).

Not surprising, since Phil just went on a tirade about the state of airline travel in the USA and mentions that they had no contingency plan after their "big boom" and that they were irresponsible/greedy/disorganised/etc. But amusing, nonetheless.

 

[Plumbaby]

When my dude complains heavy while playing fighting games has anyone ever brought up the fact that he's just old? I realize he's hamming it up and stuff but in the days of Brood War you were considered over the hill once you hit like the age of 24. Guys like Flash would appear in show matches and stuff but they couldn't maintain their APM for multiple games over the course of a tournament, in a lot of esports nowadays 16-18 year olds are considered in their prime. Like, he's just old. He's getting old and his reflexes are gonna be shit and I don't know whether he's totally realized that or not, it mostly just makes me kind of sad watching him complain about lag

It's more about the lack of practice than old age. Just look at people like Maximillian (1983), Valle (1978 ) or Daigo (1981), they are way past their prime sure, but would whoop DSP's ass with their eyes closed.

Although I agree with you that Phil's reflexes are way too slow.
Having watched some recent Star Wars and Need for Speed montage, and the lack of reflexes was the first thing that came to mind.

This. Daigo and Justin Wong are about the same age as him; and they're both still, if not the best they've been ( Daigo in particular is kind of a weird case due to the fact that the character he played for the better part of 20 years is absolute bottom tier in SF5), they're both still top 20 at least. The guy that won EVO this year isn't much younger than them either. DSP actually fought him when he got 4th place.

But they actually practice, and have this mythical ability to learn from mistakes instead of shout "OH FUCK THIS GUY, CAHMAHN, ONLINE COMBOS, HE SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN COMMAND THROW IF I DID MEATY LOW FIERCE PUNCH TO JAB LOW KICK CAHMBO, WHAT A FUCKING SCRUB" ad nauseum.

It's also hard to promote positivity when you're saying your detractors are cowards, and how you'd beat their ass and then when you realize "oh shit I fucked up" you respond by saying that if they even try to come near you; you'll use your hand axes on them. That will definitely make people want to be nice to him.

Phil is propably trying to provoke some actually mentally ill a-log to do something so he can go "LOOK! DETRACTORS TRIED TO KILL ME AGAIN!" just like the SWATting thing which evolved into National Guard blowing the wall off with a tank before shooting in multiple tear gas canisters, kicking Phil in the balls, raping Leanna, shooting hamsters and eating left-overs from the fridge.
But aside from SoK, which disbanded, is there really any 'underground cult' detractor group who would see Phil's tweets and take it as challenge and give Phil reason to beg for money?

 

[KingjadVCMP]

The evidence points to no - the fact is on TKOH, they're fighting amongst themselves purely because there is nobody for them to specifically target. The empire will burn and implode from within, without anyone's help.

And I'll be watching the whole thing while roasting popcorn over the flames.

 

[Fallgout Boy]

Although I agree with you that Phil's reflexes are way too slow.

I don't really play fighting games, so I've never been able to judge based on those, but, I watched a Shadow of Mordor TIHYDP recently, and boy does that really shine a light on his terrible reflexes. He's complaining about the controls and counter prompts (which are incredibly responsive and tight) the entire game, saying they're shitty and sloppy when he's constantly getting hit. The kicker is when he's in Last Stand, though. It typically takes nearly a full second for his brain to register which button to press and pressing it. The timer turns red and he starts bleating "that's bullshit, dood! I pressed the button!"

 

[JackDavis]

For extra hilarity Phil then donated all her shit to charity as a sign of what a good person he is.

I promise you he donated it to charity for the tax write off. The timing isn't coincidental.

On a tangent, I find it so funny how Phil is trying to create ambiguity by continually mentioning Plane/Train/Bus as the method of travel his totally real girlfriend is using to get there when it's obvious he's talking about airlines. He is so weird.

There's also the fact that Phil no longer has any passion for fighting games, unlike Maximillian. Not too familiar with what Valle or Daigo are up to now, but Max still has the passion of someone in his early 20's when it comes to fighting games and specific other franchises. Phil's become so concerned with solely making money off games, that any love for the product has slowly dissipated into nothingness and become overshadowed by his obvious need to use the game as a means to an end.

Patreon is changing up their service fee. They say it will help creators get more money, so Phil will love it, but patrons are charged more. No doubt his main whales will give anything to get Phil their money, but maybe those who only want to give a few bucks might not want to give anymore. Only time will tell.

So judging from his Instagram his new maid has already arrived at the Gout Mansion.
What kind of job does she have to go on a vacation from the 7th of December til Christmas?
