DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Dragoonism]

I hope someone takes him up on that and then releases it showing how little he has to deal with and what a sperg he is.

I might be wrong, but im pretty sure that question have been asked before...
However, the only documenters he will let in close are big famous ones and if one approached him he would say he never heard of him!

 

[Rare Drop]

Does he seriously say he needs two pcs to stream from PC? This man would lie about the color of the sky if he thought his exceptional followers would believe it.

Phil's just the kind of idiot that wanted his lemons to play every game maxed in x32 AA, when we're at the point where entry level video cards can stream just fine now. Speaking of, he has an upper tier card still- he could always sell it while prices are jacked up, and trade it for a similar card that's practical.

 

[Fritzocrat]

This should be good.

 

[Wurstbrot]

OKAY, WHO WROTE MY POST THIS LONG? AGAIN? I will put it in spoilers just for the sake of a good overview.

[...]so when i see a ginormous streamer complaining that i (the streamer) dont have a go to game, what that litterally tells me is that guy dont got talent... (giggles) What he has virual popular following who probably likes him because he is a jokester on stream or mayby have a good personality, but he has a hard time just picking up any game and get people intrested in and that is not good, you know what i mean? And what that shows that mayby this guys is one of those that is jumping on the bandwagon

No, I actually don't know what he means, at all. This is gibberish to me.

Spoiler: (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

I really need to read that slowly and hope I don't miss the context. These are just my interpretations, so I hope I won't argue against a strawman.

• So because he is okayish at a crippled hand full games (these are the "go to games", what ever that means) other streamers have no talent, if they say that Phil is not good at a game.

Eh, I, wha. Did I miss something? Is there any logic to this? Streamer says I'm a poop but HE is a poop. What? This doesn't follow, Phil. Do I really need to explain this?

• It's not a talent to be funny or being likeable.

Of course this is Phil's mentality to protect himself. He is not funny or likeable, so these aspects aren't even "real" talents a streamer needs to have.
Well, except this is exactly what people want to see from a streamer. For this exact reason they are big and famous. Where does he think these numbers came from? Are they undeserved famous because Phil says so? Did I not bought this sausage sandwich at a local shop because somebody defines a sausage sandwich differently?

And yes, it is a talent. There are some debates under smug artists what a "talent" really is (nuuuh, it's not a talent bc I worked hard to earn my skills) but the very basic states that it's a natural personal groundwork that makes future gaining of skills easier OR something you are just better at in comparison to other people with the same amount of training in this subject.

So being social with people, being likeable, making friends, being nice is indeed a talent. Phil does not has it.
It's also a talent to have a sense of humor. Phil does not has it, he just pretends to be a funny guy.
Apparently he has also no talent in connecting dots.

• It's a talent to be good at games people like.

Well yes, it's a talent to be better at games than others. But this "talent" is a conglomerate of many different talents. Being able to focus, being able to link different informations in a short time, reflexes, a sense of strategy (being organised is also helpful), multitasking. However everyone plays games differently and the result can still be classified as "being good" because it flippin works. As even stated, there are thousands of different games. It's not possible to not find a game that suits you and your specific set of natural skills (=talent). So why in the name of gout would especially the big famous streamers be the ones without any talent, being bad in every single genre, in every single game? This doesn't follow, Phil. At all. I also thought you don't watch any streamers so how do you know that? Because they are not you so they must be bad? Because people should watch you and only you?

Ah yes, and it's not a talent to pick a popular game. You just watch the statistics, that's all. The fuck, Phil?

• People are not interested in a game when the streamer is bad at it.

I see where he is going to, but he says a lot of stuff the one way and means something very different. Yes, a game looks more boring/bad when the player is not good at it, so it seems the game is bad in general. Basically exactly what Phil does with every game, so yes I agree.

• People pick up popular games but they are not ... "go to games"

What does that mean? What is a "go to game"? Is it a game that you can fall back to because you are good at it? Is it the genre you are good in so you should pick them up for your audience? Thematize your channel like "This guy is really good at it, so he is our go-to-guy"?

Also, just let people play what they want, you poop! When they like a game, they like a game. And to get better at an actual genre or type of game, you need to actually play the game. Is it forbidden to do that, Phil? Buying and playing an interesting looking game? Isn't this what an average gamer would do instead of just watching at the views, Mister "I stop streaming a game because the views are low"? Veeery hypocritical.

• You should perhaps actully get good at games you know instead of just sitting there complaining there is no good game (actual quote).

Okay, I won't throw his hypocritical statement back at him how he's also very bad at games, learns nothing and complains all the time. This doesn't change the argument. The argument itself is bad enough because it's basically a fabricated wrong statement? Who complains there is no good game in this amazing year 2018? Who even has the problem being not good at a game and therefore the views of the big famous streamer with the big views are low? Sure, there are people like that. Phil is one of them so there is at least one, I'll give him that. Except he never has high views and is neither big nor positively famous.

Phil is great in pumping up a mouse big problem into an elephanterous desaster. When one person in his chat writes "The sky is purple right now" Phil goes on a rant of how the sky is purple all the time. When one streamer says something vaguely negative about a specific detail, then it means all the streamers are 105% negative about everything. Just like Tolo hasn't stated he hates MHW.

The best at last:

• You know because... not only am i entertaining on stream [...] (actual quote)

Okay, I have several problems with that but it reflects perfectly what an asshole he is.

(1) You don't say that, even if it's true. Never rate your own streams or videos entertaining. Swallow these statements down. This is smug. Pure smug. A person who says that appear as very unlikeable. You don't have to decide how people see your streams, they decide it.

(2) Has he learned that in business school? I mean, there are some things you can rate on your product, like "Tasty Ice Cream" or "Useful Tool" or even "Very Nice Service", which helps the ware even if it's a lie. Simple marketing: Make the people believe they need the goods and that it's awesome. But there is a difference between rating your product and yourself. Your talking, playing and rock in front of the camera is not a product or even a service, it's a person doing nothing, presenting something nobody needs and nobody pays for. Sounds a little bit like a fraud, isn't it?

(3) You see yourself different than others. When I see myself as very nice, others could see me as a horrible person (or even vice versa).
Which is of course not right for this example, because I'm factually awesome and very handsome, but everybody already knows that, hahaha.

(4) You are not entertaining. My view on it.

(5) You are not entertaining. Views of thousands of people on it.

(6) You are not entertaining. Raw cold numbers of your stream and videos.

But please, Phil. Proceed with your ignorance, never take any criticism and never think about your flaws. If you read that, just ignore it and make fun of. Because I want to see you fall for your own mistakes. So, please carry on.

Maybe Larry is offering him a coveted spot at his new channel.

 

[Sparkletor]

Maybe Larry is offering him a coveted spot at his new channel.

Phil should get together with the channel awesome team and finally make Project 7. It only takes 3 people, right?

 

[Fritzocrat]

Maybe Larry is offering him a coveted spot at his new channel.

Maybe Larry is a mole for Lupa and the gang.

How great would it be if Phil joined CA and it actually got everyone to change the channel?

 

[Waveysauce]

It would make sense if he took it when the composite score was 2400 and not 1600.

even then.......he is full of shit

however I am pretty surprised by now that nobody ever has found any high school classmates of phils after all this time.

would love for someone to post actual proof on who valedictorian in his class was. cause we all know wasnt him

 

[SleepyNibba]

wow is GOW stream only has 227 viewers... thats sad...

 

[Drip Feed]

Maybe Larry is offering him a coveted spot at his new channel.

Then again, he has at least 1-3 comments on each detractor video laughing at the constant begging and lies so i wonder what he could possibly want.

Spoiler: Bonus

He believes fakes fairly easily after saying anything online can be edited to save BSV's ass multiple times

 

[JMR]

26:40 into the prestream, he is trying to explain why he is a REAL gamer unlike all those populare YT and Twitch streamers! (prestream question)

"I can't believe that i can't get another good stable game to stream i mean you know fortnight is good and all, but i cant really find any other good games and GoW have been pretty good recently, but i mean i really would like another good go to game that i can go back to and stream and... and have fun with and... and... and entertain you guys, but here is just nothing out there"

That is a supposed tweet that he saw today, from a HUGE streamer!

According to Phil there is THOUSANDS of games so that anyone can find something to play and enjoy and mayby get good at and be the go to game!
Phil have several go to games, Street Fighter is one, some FPS games since playing them enough he will get good at them or difficult games that challange him like the FromSoftware series since he can always go back to them when things are slow and people will enjoy it.

Phil: "Now why? Well folk i hate to say it, but because i got some talent! (giggles) You know because... not only am i entertaining on stream but i also DO HAVE some kind of talent when it comes to video games, every videogame? Absolutly not! I openly admit to you guys im not very good at most games and a lot of games im just fluming around, sucking, not paying attention... i mean in recent years i got better than that, but over time i would say it's fighting games, certain FPS and the FromSoftware games that over time i got better at and they become my stable games, so when i see a ginormous streamer complaining that i (the streamer) dont have a go to game, what that litterally tells me is that guy dont got talent... (giggles) What he has virual popular following who probably likes him because he is a jokester on stream or mayby have a good personality, but he has a hard time just picking up any game and get people intrested in and that is not good, you know what i mean? And what that shows that mayby this guys is one of those that is jumping on the bandwagon "oh but Fortnight was populare so i jumped on it, GoW is populare now so i jump on it, but they are not my go to games, i wish i had go to games" well then you should perhaps actully get good at games (laughs) you know instead of just sitting there complaining there is no good game..."

And he continues on about how every genre have hundreds of games that it is just to start playing and get good at and that how you see who is just streaming for money and who does it for the love of the game.

Ugh. He's trying to talking around it being Soda.

Soda's tweet from yesterday:

I always laugh at these fucking streamers, relying on other peoples hardwork to sit there and ring the bell for their little fanboys to pay them to play a game. They rely so much on the game and not their own personalities. Of course this is excluding Phil because he has none.

Speaking of, he has an upper tier card still- he could always sell it while prices are jacked up, and trade it for a similar card that's practical.

Also remember that he tested the Lemon PC out by booting up RAGE and maxing out settings. That game was anything but optimized.

 

[rizlajizzla]

See, Larry is also an even & opposite of Phil.

1. Larry is talented & funny. Phil is trash.
   
2. Larry is very self-aware and can laugh at himself or anyone. Phil is trash.
3. Larry has an actual long, full legacy of gaming enjoyment. Phil is trash.
4. Larry is realistic about what sells and how to sell it. Phil is trash.
5. Larry is appealing and fun and witty. Phil is trash.
6. Larry is a guardian of gaming history and development and knows his shit. He adds to the base knowledge of the craft of gaming. Phil? He's trash.
7. Good Guy Larry knows that fan service is not equal to or lesser than not shooting people in the eye.
   
8. Good Guy Larry responds to questions and criticism of his health & weight journey in a healthy way.
9. Good Guy Larry is actually smart. Is actually funny. Is kinda hot.
10. Good Guy Larry has never wanked on stream.

Will Phil ever be like Good Guy Larry?

Fuck, nah.

Also, I was watching Phil 'play' Bloodbourne last night. He doesn't deserve that game. He's like a 7 year old kid making fart jokes in Westminster Abbey. He was trying to be all flippant and silly about alien DNA, but he just came off like a drunk uncle in a good restaurant. How can he make the lore of BloodBourne seem so fucking BORING? Look, I am a snob. No denying it, but he deserves Call of Duty shit, fucking GTA. A person should at least put on a clean tee-shirt to play it. That shit's fancy, nigger.

 

[Phalanx]

@rizlajizzla I honestly avoid Phil at all possible when he plays games I personally hold sacred like even though its new God of War (the new one). Him playing Bloodborne or MGS2 I find equivalence to book burning. Bloodbourne is one of my favourite games in the last 5 years and like you say it deserves respect and reverence.

I am glad he is getting low views I heard his Bloodbourne one is getting low views thank god.

Ah I see, this makes sense. Then his go to game should be ... eh ... uhm ... the game where he ... no ... ahm ... it draws the audience with ease, right, so that might be ... uhm ...ah ... this is pretty tough, dood. But at least Phil is a successful streamer, so it doesn't matter, haha.

 

[chairgate]

• Larry is very self-aware and can laugh at himself or anyone. Phil is trash.

• Larry has an actual long, full legacy of gaming enjoyment. Phil is trash.

yeah I think he had a tv show or something at one point when youtube was still in its roots. He's pretty much said it was garbage in hindsight. Even the whole CA thing he hasn't quit because he never really did anything there and now just laughing about it all.

Unlike Phil where he tries to spin his shitty videocamera-at-tv gameplay into something positive and godlike that he invented and not out of laziness or lack of skill. I think Phil is the ONLY content creator (still around or not) that can look at a 8 year old video and think it's still good enough quality to post today.
