His behavior right now is really odd, it really does seem like he's drunk or at least buzzed. Whatever the reason, he seems fucked up to the point where his usual autistic composure is fraying at the edges. It's really bizarre and off-putting, like watching your grandma get wasted at a Christmas party or something. But it's entertaining none the less, so....cheers, I guess.
 
Doesn’t change the fact he got visibly angry when someone brought up the empty game case.

Also since when does buying a game mean you buy the license to stream it?

It doesn't, a lot of the online community just whines about fair use despite what the creators say. That being said, I think it was a few of the Kingdom Hearts and the Dragon Quest Heroes that had strict streaming guidelines in the in game legal documents. Then there was the "Don't go past x-date in Persona 5" and probably more I just don't remember or don't know.
 
I think that a whale is going to come in with some gifted subs either tonight to tomorrow to push him over 500. DSP is due for some of that.

It would take all of 4 subs, so yeah, he's going to hit it. Not a big deal.

What is the sub goal even? Is it the same goal as last month that he just rolled over?

Same as last month. "Retrospective #3: Let's Watch My Old Videos and Pretend I'm Totally Different Now"

He went in looking to talk about shit, hence the game swap. He is just baiting people out. He's done this before. Whether is is drunk or not is not the point, he is talking the same shit he has been talking about for months and it is just that he is covering all the topics because he wants the money. He is just a money whore and is constantly taking the bait that his chat slowly pushing over two hours.

If this dude doesn't want to call himself a influencer, ok fine. But don't ask or even complain about the benefits that influencers have.
 
AngryJoe is now a influencer...
Because AngryJoe went to Europe to play Witcher 3 and wasn't allowed review it publicly on stream and he was paid to do it while everyone watching him thought it was a normal stream is a big crime in Phils book!
 
I like how Phil will bitch about "influencers" when he's literally tried to do the exact same thing but his exceptionalism and attitude prevent him from getting the same opportunities.
was just about to bring this up, is he forgetting the documented (by him) incident where he shilled a chair before he got it? i have to actually wonder is all the shit he does to his body finally taking its toll? because he forgets everything he says is on the internet

So he's just being really dumb and gay, like always, tbh, news at 11. DrunksydeDave just makes it more funny.

It’s little shit like this that annoys me so much, it just makes him sound like such a smug know it all. The way he talks he acts like buying the game is some special binding agreement or legal procedure that lets him do whatever the fuck he wants with it.

His YouTube made him a minimum of between $35K and $50K last year. . .minimum. It's anywhere from like 1/3rd to close to half his income. As much as he bitches, whines, memes, and talks shit about it (and as completely retarded as this sounds) in Phil's own delusional mind he is 'working as hard as he can' to put out the 'highest quality, raw, unedited gameplay experiences' that he is capable of. Phil genuinely thinks he puts out a highly unique and technically high quality YouTube video product that he deserves to be compensated for by at least double to triple this amount, so he keep doing it 'the same way I've always done it' in hopes that somehow his YouTube bucks will go back to that level.
He blames YouTube for his ad revenue going down and he blames YouTube for his views going down, so he narcissistically doesn't change his 'product' to "prove" it is (((their))) fault because if he were to change and his situation improved he would have to accept personal responsibility for things he's fucking up.
He did nothing wrong and he's being punished for it, so won't you please open your hearts and wallets to this poor abused man and TIP HIM today? He gets that money right away, so tipping him helps the most.
He could lose his house if he misses one payment, ignore that there is a federal mandate that requires 120 days of non-payment before foreclosure proceedings can be initiated, that's just more slander and lies from people who've tried to murder him and his then fiancé. Also ignore that what he technically makes now are called 'Longplays' and there is nothing unique about what he does except that he creates the shittyest Longplays.

There's no way in hell he made that much off Youtube. He gets like ~1mil views a month, which works out to like between $1k and $2k a month, because you know he's not getting quality CPM based on his views, not being in a network or being managed, having no sponsorships or endorsements, etc. Even socialblade, which is very generous for its high end, tops him out at $35k. He's probably making like $15k, maybe $20k. Now, that's not nothing, but it's clearly something he knows is dwindling as he continues to try to shift to only Twitch.

That's not really my point, though, it's more the size of the audience. The majority of his vids get like 600 views tops. His twitch streams get like 400 on average. It doesn't make any sense to appeal to the YT audience when there's near just as many people watching him live, detractors or not, who are potential wallets.
 
I like how Phil will bitch about "influencers" when he's literally tried to do the exact same thing but his exceptionalism and attitude prevent him from getting the same opportunities.

And his face. And voice. And inconsistent showering. And snorting. And his half-decade old equipment. And his utter dearth of business acumen. And his paranoia. And the fact that he has no friends or business contacts.
 
It would take all of 4 subs, so yeah, he's going to hit it. Not a big deal.

For DSP, he'll act like it's moving heaven and earth to make room for another begathon. Swapping games tonight was big deal for this dude. To squeeze in a begathon before e3, we might get him having a panic attack on one of his pre-streams.\

Edit: I will say he made this past hour go by really quickly with all of his bullshit.
 
Phil trying to talk sweet on Max Dood. Whether he's a shill or not, he knows who you are Phil. While he was never a top player, he was FGC back in the days of Shoryuken and the IRC chats. He won't say anything, because he knows he has to play nice to keep all the connections he has. But he knows who you are, what you're about, and what you've done Phil.

Edit: As for video editors. Sony Vegas 16 Platinum has been on sale for the past year for less than $100. It's a one-time license, you buy it, it's yours, no need to re-up. Good job Phil, an easy tax/business write-off and you fuck it up.
 
phil must be pretty nimble to do the mental gymnastics to say "i like x" but also "i don't watch others content"
and "i don't have a video editing software" so did he just rent the software he used for KOgaming when that was a thing?

the last time I tuned in for mlb I suspected he has been drinking too, i also think he drank a bit before tonight.
phil seems really out of it tonight, his eyes and expressions make me think he couldn't wait until after the 2nd stream to hit the bottle
View attachment 715666





he also mentioned how he didnt want to play minecraft because he just wanted to "relax and chill
the other day he said back in the day he relaxed at the end of the day with a mixed drink and played braindead games after his job

humble had a few bundles last year where you could get a full suite of editing software for like 20 bucks
 
Man this influencer shit is just dumb. Of course dark isn’t an influencer, he doesn’t fucking know anything about shit he hypes up, he just acted clueless about all the MK11 drama about the in game currency. He didn’t have the fuck picture of that lord of the rings games ending before praising it and calling out people who actually knew what they were talking about. Dark is just a generic shill, which is worse honestly lol.

How can you trust angry joe because he got paid to review something? Well how the fuck can I trust anything you say? You have the memory of a goldfish and consistently claim things you said with video evidence aren’t what you said....

Guy who lies through his teeth almost daily questions how you can’t trust others...imagine that
