DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[der rademacher]

DSP marking his territory at the start of today's early stream (Final Fantasy IV on his PC).

My heart was missing a beat when I gazed in disbelieve and started to grin while thinking "Great start of the new years' season, this will be WOW all over again!".

Then I realized there was an X missing. :/

 

[Elpizo]

His "voice-acting" in Doki-Doki Literature Club is too hard to stomach. It is him reading in his normal voice that makes him think he is on one level with Troy Baker and Nolan North.

Geez. What can I say, he's awkward.

yo is our king of retro freeballin? I don't see any underwear outline or waistband.

 

[johnny5150]

Maybe I'm just nitpicking but it still bugging me the way he has that t.v.. I would of just gone out and bought a wall mount.

 

[Sphadilcastro]

Something is seriously up, he must have gotten some huge "behind the scenes" paypal christmas gifts that were "christmas gifts" and therefore didnt need to tell the fans

He wouldn't have to give those detractors at the IRS a cut either. Gifts up to $15000 aren't taxed. And beyond that amount the gifter is responsible for the taxes.

 

[JamFlowMan]

Maybe I'm just nitpicking but it still bugging me the way he has that t.v.. I would of just gone out and bought a wall mount.

Ignoring the obvious the t.v. is what I noticed too. When he took a picture of it at that angle I though it was just like that for setup. Yet here we are months later and he still has one side hanging off a ledge. Phil will always fail to meet even the smallest of expectations.

 

[Gout of Redemption]

DSP talking about Tut leads me to believe that he actually did lose the chargeback claims and lost all that money, because if Tut really did lose then there is no way he would still be bringing this shit up now

It definitely makes sense, but this is pigroach here - even if he did win the case, he'd still milk the situation for pitybux. Also, if he admitted that Tut got the money back, it would open up a tidal wave of fake donations and chargebacks.

still upset and want to cram in our mouth the horseshit about him never losing a chargeback

tut had no reason to lie,nothing to lose. but phil,he gotta make people believe chargebacks never work so they dont troll him

i feel he does that angle so we dont notice that horrid bald line on his right side of face. at one point he was facing forward for his first ffiv session and boy it was painful to look at

 

[MV18]

I prefer Rifftrax.

Count me in that crowd. I've got it on my other monitor as I browse this sub. Maniac is on ATM. Best channel on Twitch.

 

[actually]

Wait, he just said he is taking tomorrow off???? WTF seriously?

Something is seriously up, he must have gotten some huge "behind the scenes" paypal christmas gifts that were "christmas gifts" and therefore didnt need to tell the fans.

he was just off an entire week, took off friday even though he was off all week, and now he expects us to believe he cant pay his bills right now but is taking tomorrow off because he wants to hang out with kat?

god this guy is such a bold face liar.

BTW, in stream chat he mentioned buying a calendar with an amazon gift card a fan gave him, did he mention a fan sending him an amazon gift ard recently as a gift?

The giftcard supposedly came from a "former detractor" who felt bad. Also, remember that Phil is flat lazy and exaggerates, so it makes perfect sense that he's taking tomorrow off for his big boy errands as well as not doing a 2nd stream on Sunday. Besides, he's gotten a $50 tip pretty much each of the last 4 or 5 streams, so why change anything? If the grift works, you roll with it.

DSP talking about Tut leads me to believe that he actually did lose the chargeback claims and lost all that money, because if Tut really did lose then there is no way he would still be bringing this shit up now

I mean, DSP has a pretty proven track record of bringing up shit way after it happened, whether it was positive or negative. See YouTube, Curse, Wolverine toy, 4th place in EVO etc. If Phil really lost money, he would have been upfront about it because it genuinely feeds into his victimization narrative. He'd go on and on about how corrupt PayPal or the credit card system is, just like YouTube for taking money that belonged to him. I think he just likes to bring up Tut because Tut is someone he can put a name to instead of just talking about "those guys" or detractors. Tut is also perfect for a coward like Phil to blame because there's absolutely no way he can defend himself and unlike Tevin or Ninja, he doesn't have an audience to potentially back him up.

Do you remember when he talked about the gift card? Did he say how much it was for?

He most certainly is flush right now, I dont believe his bullshit one bit. He has been extra cocky and egotistical lately, usually a good indicator that his money situation is looking good to him and he can afford to lose some viewers to prop up his ego and peacock. It could be he knows he has $20k coming next month though too i guess.

Not true. He already made the claim he wins every chargeback. Saying otherwise again proves him to be a liar. Plus, I think a lot of people would want proof he didn’t get the money which he would never provide. He put himself these stupid ass positions because he runs his mouth.

It was in a prestream. Someone here brought it up. It was allegedly $20. Also, he's been a little extra cocky, but he's still been begging hard for those tips. I think he was really counting on huge tips like last year to achieve whatever his actual goal was (not the taxes).

01/01/19 First Prestream - Assassin's Creed Odyssey Post-Game Stream: The January Bills, it's hour come round at last, Slouches towards Beg-lehem.

Spoiler: Darksydephil Looks Forward To A Positive 2019

"I want to thank everyone for a great 2018. I do. Since, now we're in 2019, it's time to look back really quickly and say, 'Thanks for a great 2018.' We had high highs, and we had low lows, and we had things in between. In general, my streams were GREAT! I had a lot of fun doing them. Uhm. I really have no complaints, when it comes to the contents of my streams, and you guys hanging out with me and having fun. It really was a good time, and I'm really forward to 2019 even more! Although, there may be CHALLENGES and things coming this year! Uh. As you guys know, if you watched the podcast. I have things coming up this year, like an impending trip back to Connecticut, and stuff like that. That is going to be coming up. *THROAT CLEAR* Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* BUT! All that being said, uhm, I think it's going to be a GOOD YEAR. And, I'm looking forward very much to it. And I hope that all of you are looking forward to it as well. Let's hope that things, you know, can go, go well in the new one. Eh, uh, eh, that goes for YOU as well! It's not just for ME and MY streams! It's about you as well. *THROAT CLEAR* Whatever your deal is going on, uhm, *SNORT* you know, consider, uh, you know, taking a step back. *THROAT CLEAR* And, what I'll say is this, okay? Even though things may not always be the best, and even though you may run into hard times, challenging times, STRESSFUL times. You gotta focus on the good stuff, man! You know? *THROAT CLEAR* You have to! Because it's very easy for us to nitpick the negative! Because there's always going to be negative. It's never going to be perfect! Right? There's always going to be stuff that could have gone better. There's always going to be stuff that, 'Darn! I wish that this opportunity had happened! Or this and that.' But, instead of dwelling on that, you gotta dwell on the stuff that did go right! You gotta dwell on the future! The positive stuff that's to come! Right? That's kind of, how my, my, my, *THROAT CLEAR* my mindset is. *THROAT CLEAR* *LIP SMACK!* And, you know, go from there."

Spoiler: Nevermind, DSP Is Nervous About 2019

"Uhm. There are a lot of things coming in 2019, that are SCARY. Uhm. What's going to happen with this Article 13? Is everyone in the European Union going to be shut off from YouTube and Twitch? To the point, where everyone's going to lose a GIANT CHUNK of their audience and GO OUT OF BUSINESS? I don't know! I might be one of them! Okay? *THROAT CLEAR* I really don't know how this is going to affect me, AT ALL! To be quite honest with all of you. Uhm. Am I going to be able to pay my taxes, coming up in April? Or am I going to be in the situation, where now, I owe back taxes? And I can't pay them. And the only situation I have, to get out of this, is to SELL MY HOUSE? You know? Are my parents, how are they going to be doing this year? You know, there are a lot of challenges coming up THIS YEAR. For ME, PERSONALLY. And I'm sure on your end, there's tons of stuff, too! I'm sure, all of you right now, are probably thinking about the stuff in your lives. That's probably coming up as a CHALLENGE in 2019. Right?"

Spoiler: Join DSP In His Online Hugbox

"BUT! If anything, *THROAT CLEAR* *LIP SMACK!* Let me say this. We all have these challenges! Okay? BUT! Maybe my streams can be a place, where we all just, kind of, come and hang out together. And, have an escape from those Real World stresses. You know what I mean? *THROAT CLEAR* If this stream can be a place, where you come, hang out with me, and we chill, and have fun with games. And it doesn't matter what game I'm playing. YES! Sometimes I'll be playing hot new releases, sometimes I'll be doing chill downtime stuff. And, sometimes I'll be doing classic retro stuff, just for fun. You know, whatever it is I may be playing, here's hoping, that this is a place where you can, RELAX and just have a good time. And not have to worry about those outside stresses, and the drama, and the nonsense of the outside world. Let that all kind of escape, from your *THROAT CLEAR* your mind, while you're here to hang out with me. Okay? *THROAT CLEAR*"

Spoiler: A Potential POSITIVE Milestone, That Doesn't Matter

"Uhm. Also something else POSITIVE, that may actually happen! For the first time, in it's, now, almost NINE YEAR HISTORY. Okay? DSPGaming, my YouTube channel, may hit TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND SUBS in 2019! The reason being, *THROAT CLEAR* the reason being, now I upload longer videos. *LIP SMACK!* I don't spam the channel with a ton of videos anymore! So, subs are consistently going up! Are they going up by a ton? No. But, they're consistently going up! And this is the first time, in the, I mean, since, like, I'm not even kidding, since, like, 2013, 2014. That I've seen consistent sub growth on DSPGaming! *PIG SNORT* Typically, what would happen is, I'd see giant spikes of subs, during new release times. And then I would see the subs dip, when people would complain that I upload too many videos. And it would fluctuate greatly, but it would always stay around a hundred and eighty thousand subs. I've actually seen, since I instituted the longer videos on DSPGaming, consistent sub growth! So, would it be cool, if DSPGaming, FINALLY hit TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND SUBS? Uh. In it's almost ten years of existing? Yeah. Even though it doesn't mean anything. You know what I mean? Like, *THROAT CLEAR* *LIP SMACK!* I hate to say it, but YouTube is so blasé, been there done that. Like, you know what I mean? Like, YouTube is very much my past! Live Streaming is VERY MUCH my FUTURE. Uhm. Or whatever else, is the next big thing, when it comes to this. You know what I mean? As you see, this whole Content Creation revolution, when it comes to gaming and stuff. Has been very different, and it's evolved over the years. To the point where, who knows what the next Big Thing will be? But, I can tell you this, IT'S NOT YOUTUBE! *SMUG LAUGH* YouTube is MOST DEFINITELY the past! Okay?"

Spoiler: #DSPositivity2019

"So. Uhm. I'm looking forward to 2019, very positively and I hope all of you are, too. And, I certainly hope that, the new year brings all of us prosperity, and fun, and happiness. Right? And, we'll see. You never knew, wha-, what the future may bring, as they say. But, if you approach it with a positive attitude, and a happy heart. And, you know, feelings of anticipation of good stuff to come, uhm, maybe they will? You know? That's kind of the way, I, I approach things these days. It's funny, because, it's the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of how I used to be! I USED to be a REAL CYNICAL dick! And be like, 'Man! You know, everything is going to screw you over and everything is bad! RAH, RAH, RAH, RAH, RAH.' But! *THROAT CLEAR* I really don't want to be like that *LIP SMACK!* anymore. I want to be a more positive person. And, you know, the thing is, I've had so much ADVERSITY! In the ten plus years that I have done this. SO MANY THINGS! So many roadblocks, and things that have thrown up against me. Right? And, I always seem to get through it somehow! And I swear, sometimes it's just things that I've never expected, or they come out of left field. You know, completely unexpected things, that happened! To become supportive, and become a way to, kind of, get me out of trouble, or whatever's going on. And, uhm, you know, It Is What It Is. I don't know how the heck, WE'VE gotten through some of the challenges that *SMUG CHUCKLE* WE'VE gotten through together! WE have! For me to be anything but POSITIVE, at this point, would be pretty . . . SILLY! Because, it seems to me, uhm, you know, it definitely seems to me, that as long as WE STICK TOGETHER. WE GET EACH OTHERS BACKS. WE have fun, and WE stay positive. That things are going to keep going. You know? So, let's just keep in that mindset! All right, everybody? All right, so happy 2019! That's kind of my attitude going into the new year, and I hope that you guys are, er, eh, having a good one. And, I, uh, want to say thanks, those of you who are here just to hang out with me. You know?"

Spoiler: Darksydephil Teases A New Initiative That Will Probably Be Lame As Hell

"Uhm. Uh. *PAUSE* FOLKS! I could sit here and I could give you a ton of plugs. I really don't want to do that today! You guys know about all the ways that you can contribute."
Does a plug segment.
"Uhm. I actually have, a NEW, kind of, campaign coming up this year. That I'll be announcing soon. I'm not ready to do it, yet! Because, I've been so sick and everything. I'm behind. Like, I was actually, I was originally going to announce it on the first, TODAY! And have this BIG LAUNCHING THING! I can't do it now! You know, being sick, I really lost so much time that I would have been working on stuff! That I can't do it yet. But, I'll tell you right now, this year, 2019, there will be a new, kind of, initiative. To make people who watch my content, feel kind of-, I don't know! I don't know how to put it. I don't even want to spoil! I'm not going to say anything! I'll just say this, it's going to be something cool, I think you guys will like it. All right?"

Spoiler: Hardcore Begging

"All I want to do, is say this, guys: if you really want to help me right now, all right? The best way you can help me, is by TIPPING ME! And it's going to be like this, for the NEXT TWO WEEKS! I REALLY NEED everyone's help! If you're going to contribute in anyway to the streams, *PIG SNORT* and this is me being very, very HONEST, OPEN, and SERIOUS with all of you! PLEASE. TIP ME. DURING. THE. STREAMS! The reason I say that, DECEMBER DID NOT GO SO WELL! Number one, I got paid for my October performance, which was the worst of the year on Twitch! Because Tutenkhamannn had ARTIFICIALLY INFLATED contributions for two months, and people felt that, 'Oh! I'm fine!' Because of those two great months, and didn't really contribute that much in October! And because of that, when I got paid in December, it was WAY LOWER than what I'm used to getting on Twitch! Number two, I was SICK in December! The whole last week in December, I was sick as a dog! I couldn't work! That was a whole week of income, I was depending on, I didn't get! So, it's like the double whammy! Now, I have to pay all my bills for January, starting TODAY! They start coming due. And, I need money to pay them! And, if you TIP ME, that's funds I get RIGHT. NOW! That I can put towards bills! And, it's going to be like this for the next TWO WEEKS! Until I get paid by Twitch around the fifteenth of the month. I'm going to be completely STRAPPED for money! Trying to pay bills, and do everything I possibly can! M/I/L/K every piece of, MONEY that I have to pay every bill! So that I'm not going overdue on these bills, until I get paid by Twitch. Right? So, PLEASE, if you're going to contribute in any way, and you at all have a choice, or way to control how you contribute, PLEASE TIP ME! The TIPS are going to help me out more than anything!"
Explains how to send his shameful begging ass a tip.
"And, PLEASE, consider it! If you're going to CONTRIBUTE, it'll help me out TREMENDOUSLY! I'd love to pay the bills this week, and keep the power on, SO I CAN STREAM FOR YOU. I'm just saying! Okay?"

Spoiler: More Begging

"So, thank you Hank! Top tip of today: TEN DOLLARS! Very much appreciated! Again, guys, the best way you can help me out right now, is TIPPING ME. And that's going to be, for the next two weeks, AT LEAST! I really need your support with TIPS, to get through this time! Because of everything that happened in December. Uhm. Hopefully, WE can get through it. Okay? Fair Enough?"

01/01/19 Second Prestream - Call Of Duty Black Ops Blackout Run and Camp Stream: New Year, Same Old Begging

Spoiler: Disgraceful Begging

"You guys also know the deal with contributions and all of that. I appreciate anything, HOWEVER! I'm going to be talking about this, for the next TWO WEEKS at least, guys! PLEASE! If you're going to contribute tonight, to the stream, the way that I PREFER you would do it, and the way that would help me out TREMENDOUSLY right now, more than anything else, would be to TIP ME! Because, I've got bills, RIGHT NOW COMING DUE! Today was the first day they start coming due! And they're due between now and the fifteenth. I don't have get paid by Twitch, until the fifteenth! And, because, NUMBER ONE, October was a slow streaming month for me! And that's what I got paid for in December! My funds were already low! Oh, yeah! Then I didn't stream for a week, because I was really sick! So, all the funds I would have had from tips and the like, last week, I never got! Uhm. So, I'm pretty, pretty screwed over right now! I'm not going to exaggerate, uh, it's just not, it's just not very good! Uhm. *THROAT CLEAR* So, PLEASE, if you could, TIP ME! If you are thinking of contributing tonight, and you have the option to TIP ME, PLEASE TIP ME! That's going to help me out the most! It's going to allow me to take those TIPS, and put them straight towards bills, these next couple of weeks!"
Explains how to send his shady begging ass a tip.
"Everything else helps! Don't get me wrong! You want to pledge to my Patreon, or you want to cheer, sub, or whatever. That's all great! And it's supportive, and it helps me! But, right now, TIPPING is the way to go! Because, that's going to help me in the SHORT-TERM! All right?"

Thanks as always to flat soda for this. Hope your mental health is holding up

The delusions and story telling, hypocrisy and contradictions in this pre stream were pretty amazing I thought

I don't know what goes through his mind:

one second he's claiming financial destruction / homelessness; and the next claiming he makes great money / loves his life; then saying 2018 was super rough but also his best and highest quality year... That his parents are possibly very unwell but he'll lose money seeing them...

 

[Destro1986]

One wonders if he uses a filter on his facecam or it is just that bad/low rez. Streaming from his phone he looks much older.


He cannot lean over and look at a desk calendar. Additionally, his giant wall calendar lets him write out his gaming schedule for the entire year as he does his weekly meal schedule.

Though it has been suggested multiple times, He, for some reason continues to stream PC games from his desk instead of hooking his PC to his TV and sitting on his beloved Loveseat. Only reason I can come up with is that doing this emphasizes the fact he is playing the game on PC.

I don't get how you can have your monitors set up like that without going crazy. Different heights, colors and angles?

That is actually a good point. I assume though they have people who work a night shift and do stuff after the store closes like stock shelves and clean and shit like that? We get mixed info from Dark on when she gets off from work, I think he tried to say midnight but i think he also said she was just getting home at like 10:30pm his time.

Target and Walmart are def possibilities. I think Walmart is most likely though. I would imagine Dark would avoid talking about shopping where she actually works as much as possible. It could be they shop at Walmart all the tiem but he purposely lies and makes it sound like he doesnt really go there to avoid making it obvious that is where she works.

I guess McDonalds is also a good possibility. It has to be a national chain, but its definetly retail or a restaurant to be working late at night. I mean sure there are some other edge case jobs that are national and have night hours but lets be honest, what we know of Kat, she works at McDonalds or Walmart for sure.

Convenience store.

What I've been wondering about, is Tevin gay?
There are no black people where I'm from, and since he had his hair dyed blonde and I've never heard him talking about a gf.
But maybe I'm just imagining things.

While I'm not up to date on all Tevin lore; he has referenced a girlfriend a few times on stream. There's also the video he made where he almost went to jail over killing someone at work; he doesn't just mention her but drops a name too.
