DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[actually]

The gimmick always was that DSP had a few people willing to give him hundreds of dollars. If you take them away he makes a couple dollars a day pretty much minimum wage. I can only hope the whales are finally seeing the light and are fed up of his lies too. Not to mention he has this self important attitude now ever since he came back from his scam wedding.

TBH, I think this is mostly driven by the fact that he literally had 2 "GIVE ME MONEY" fundraisers within the last month and got $2500, almost entirely from a handful of whales. Even his whales have to get their paychecks so they can spend them on Phil, you know?

I appreciate DSP's fair and balanced approach. Streamers could learn a thing or two from him.

Don't ask why the prestream is so long.

Don't ask about Kat.

Keep negative comments to yourself.

Don't compare the deaths of relatives to Phil's amount of suffering.

Don't talk about any other streamers.

Don't talk about sports. Except wrestling and don't post spoilers.

And the golden rule. Don't claim you'll tip Phil and not follow through.

How bad is DSP in first person shooting?

His squad just lost 9-100

ya, but of course he said his teammates are all idiots and trolls and the winning team is composed of a bunch 0f no-life losers who play this game days and nights


It's actually really hard to lose a game that bad, but Phil, being the "best player in his squad", led his team to do so

Edit:

Phil joined a new game and he kept dying, then he found out LSB was in the match and he blamed him for trolling and causing him to lose


Edit 2:
Phil died again, spawned, died right away

I SPAWN, I DIE

 

[Freshtodeath]

Phil said cats come in three colors of personality Red, green and blue. I cant find any info about this on google. He said you want a green cat? and you have to "get the right one".

Have we confirmed that it was actually LSB? Cause he's (reEEEEE)streaming right now, and there was a second match where someone had the clan tag KHAT that wasn't LSB.

This is probably some magic mumbo-jumbo that Kat learned from her mom. DSP just blindly believes his wife.

Looks like maybe this is what he was talking about, only the colors are green, orange, and purple?

 

[Dragoonism]

Big problem with his narrative being 30x10min/60= 5 hrs. Eight hours of gameplay calculates out to 48 videos. Now, I could be incorrect, but I don't remember him posting 48+/- 10 min videos everyday. Additionally, he has in the past said he played games for ~4-6 hours a day which fit in with his daily video uploading. This 'full-time work schedule' where he's putting in 10+hrs a day has only become part of his story in recent years where he needed to tell folks how hard he was working.

What kind of stories do you expect from someone that claims that he started the LP movement and created the word playthrough?

Well, Dave always thought very high of himself, there were let's players around when he started, not many, but there were. Maybe he was the only one who flooded youtube with 30 videos with 10 minutes length each, ran footage, of course, no editing whatsover, but hey, he worked very hard, never forget lol.

I'm curious about how big he was at the start. Back when he actually seemed to like his job, was he ever close to being the biggest LPer? Or was he always on the heels of better creators?

He started posting around 2008-ish, right? People like Necroscope86, Kikoskia and UltraJMan was already in the swing of things back then. From what I recall he wasn't exactly known by the few that watched LPs back then until he started doing it full time around 2010.

Wasn’t @LyteSydeByll proper it was a viewer of his stream sniping I believe.

There. This lean in ban, everything correlated to it frustrates me.
The knowledge someone will get hammered by Phil's own ludicrous rules, by his own decision. The fact that no matter what the person wrote, Phil only sees it as an insult and sheds not a drop of thought, bans ice cold. The fact that he does not realize he kills his entire audience little by little. The fact that he is proud to act like a Führer and punishes every misstep to the max, he gets rid of them for ETERNITY. The fact you CAN'T fulfill his ruleset which is normally fine nearly everywhere else on Twitch (when the entire chat spams a cheese emote when you literal cheese, just take it! It's a joke! People have fun!)

Someone here wrote we give Phil too much credit, he has probably 20 sincere fans max, as this fits to a streamer of his caliber; boring, insulting, toxic. I tend to agree. Now I'm hoping the day will come when his views reflect that. If he proceeds like that, just give it some years.

I always love when DSP calls other people that play video games "no-life losers" when it is literally his job to play video games for money and he has no other source of income. Of course, DSP's rationale is that he is a "variety streamer" and these "no-life losers" play the same game for hours. DSP can't do that because "his audience would get bored dood."

Watching LSB's restream because I had to see this 9-100 beating, DSP kept ragequitting the match and then complained that he kept getting put in that same match because "other people were quitting like bitches". After he had ragequit 2-3 times, he complained that other people were quitting like bitches. That is the simplest example of either "special pleading" or "cognitive dissonance" that I can think of. DSP can ragequit a match because of da trollz, but other people quitting the match are bitches.

Skip to 1:36:45 for the other people "quitting like bitches" rant.

Didn't someone get banned for saying "penne" because he thought it was a detractor meme once?
Also, Phil mentions detractors on the regular, so if that's a rule he's enforcing, he should practice what he preaches.

Even at the height of his popularity he still wasn't anywhere near the levels of game-specific LPers. The landscape was different of course but some trends remained the same.. even back then he considered himself the little man, the underdog in the shadow of Machinima and its army of call o' dooties players and the like. Just like today where he'll complain about Fortnite or whatever the hot game is the kids are into, those guys did less work than him and yet saw more profit and got more views and subs. In his mind he was under the protection of being the "common gamer" and the idea that more people would feel inclined to flock to Youtubers who were actually really good at games was lost on him.

His scuffle with bigtime Dooties Machinima youtuber Hutch offended Phil to his very marrow when Hutch claimed Phil was smalltime on Youtube and always would be. Anytime I can think of that he ever spoke of/to any content creator with more followers than him it was always in a negative light. Some things truly never change.

Yeah, around 2008.

I think it depends on what you consider widespread acknowledgement of his existence, though. His first playthrough of FO3 is what I can remember being his first "breakthrough" game that got him any kind of recognition, and that was in 2008. Part 1 sits at like 180k views right now, Part 2 at 80k, and then his usual drop in viewer retention that looks something like a graph of the inverse square law.

You can't look at views over time of a video on YT anymore and I don't care enough to try and extract that information anywhere else, but I imagine most of those were when his channel was new. Back in that time period, getting that sort of viewership was pretty good and he was actually showing up high on search lists/front page or whatever the hell YT did to promote content back then. So I think people were starting to be aware of who he was, and it was pretty significant considering the time period, but his problem is that he never really grew beyond that.

So I've been checking out some DSP detractors and can someone fill me in on why LSB is popular? He seems really cringe trying very hard to be Tevin and constantly showing his power level. Beanerology is also his mod which is beyond funny if you know Beanerology's drama that involves Ralph.

Who actually is somewhat original any fun to follow? I need more deep deep lore.
