Unless DSP gets, ironically, a Godfather offer, he doesn't want to sell any of his collectibles. That's why he charges such outrageous prices and states that shipping any of them would cost no less than $50 because "they don't fit in a priority mail box."

If he was really serious, he'd list them on eBay and be done with it. His talk about "troll bids" is bullshit.

I imagine he just has to 'make an effort' to keep Kat at bay. Probably got rid of the portal gun due to bad associations and to show he really is trying

There isn't enough for a thread of it's own yet but this is the third or fourth time Phil proclaimed something is a first that isn't. Phil has never done viewers choice before, he's only done patrons choice. Just like he never did a marathon until a few months ago despite doing tons of indy and holiday marathons. There was at least one more thing but it's slipped my mind at the moment.

Phil's dependency on semantics to pretend something he is doing for "the first time ever" is actually something he has done many, many times before is one of the few things he does that still makes me laugh.

Like how every single stream he ever does is exactly the same thing. Him sitting on a sweaty dusty couch playing a video game?

And he says a million different things to hype it up and spin it into something else. But really, that's all your getting. Every single day of the week.

And if that's too much trouble/work/cerebral activity for him why doesn't he just take it to the fucking UPS Store? They'll do it for just a few bucks.

Jesus, he's got hooks for hands for as helpless as he is. Can't paint, can't hang blinds, needs someone to remind him to change the oil in his car. If there really was such a thing as Terminal Laziness, Philip Burnell would be the test case.

Came here to say just that; if you can't do it yourself, they'll handle everything. They have all the specialty boxes and shit like anti-static packing for electronics and all that other good stuff. But Phil can't do that, not even at cost for the buyer, and the same with the shipping cost. Mr. Business Degree doesn't understand that the price of an item is what people will pay for it; and that includes shipping.

Not a shock Phil doesn't understand a company as big as Konami would diversify. Remember when his Machinima contact asked him what other things he would like to do, like possibly commentating fighting game tournaments, and his response was "why would I do anything else?" He probably thinks Konami is just video games and since they aren't great in that area the whole company is shit.

It's not a shock that DSP doesn't know that companies can diversify, since he's rarely ever does so, and when he does, it's low quality garbage khantent. I bet the only reason he wants Konami to fail is because of the MGS games and how that made him look like an retard.

And Castlevania. And Silent Hill. And--

--matter fact, you know what? Let's just apply that logic to all software developers. Probably a lot faster that way.
 
The issue to me isn't whether DSP does or does not know that Konami can diversify; it's that DSP wants Konami to fail.

DSP is a spiteful little bitch. Instead of saying "I wish Konami would get better", he wishes for them to shut down. He talks all the time about dumb fuck developers and how he wishes they would shut down. It reflects his hateful personality: if someone makes a mistake then they get a permanent spot on his shitlist and they deserve to be punished forever, gone, whatever.

He even said that the good, in this case Yu-gi-oh!, "must get flushed down with the bad". Why? Why can't Konami in DSP's mind just keep doing the things that they are good at?

Phil also equates a person or business failing as a win for him, just look at the Projared or helicopter business who nether of which had anything to do with him for years but the moment shit hit the fan he was crowing as if he personally had sunk them. I guess when you have absoulty nothing to be proud of in your life you'll take what you can get for personal victories.

oh hell, a company like from software could go down and phil would be celebrating
every single company that makes games he can't win the first time all the way through is evil and full of detractors to him

after observing the narcissist’s reaction to direct questions or ANY question for that matter, it becomes obvious that being asked a question is a source of paranoia for the narcissist.

Ask them a question and more often than not:

1.) they pause. because they’re threatened and/or intimidated by questions because it requires them to think…

2.) they have to think about what lies they told in the past, what lie they’re about tell in that moment and maybe, what lie they’ll have to tell in the future

3.) it stumps them. all of that lying damages a person’s mind, it’s a lot of mental gymnastics to keep it all straight.

4.) it’s like they’re tounge locks up. they’ll just look at you like, “huh”?” people who live with narcissists learn to never ask them anything. they don’t know anything and don’t remember anything about anyone or anything.” (that’s an excerpt from the book What Makes Narcissists Tick”…very good reading. I highly reccomend it.

the narcissistic people I’ve known and/or dealt with for many years seemed to have a strong dislike of being questioned—especially if the question is one that directly calls them out in a way that is threatening to them in whatever way. yet, I also observed a particular narcissist being averse to answering a simple question like: “are you hungry?” “I’m going downstairs to make a snack so feel free to join me if you’d like.” to which I was given a “non-response”—-he just sat there as if I wasn’t speaking English or maybe he suddenly went deaf or maybe he was just such a fickle pickle he became overwhelmed by such a distressing question or maybe he was engaging in a childish power play—take your pick. later on I asked him if he purposely didn’t acknowledge my question just to confuse me, provoke me, anger me, basically to get a reaction from me. call me crazy but I’m inclined to think he wanted all my attention on him and what better way than to sit there like a deaf mute in complete silence? guess what? I recieved no answer to that question either. at this point you just shake your head in disdain and realize that a person who goes to these lengths just to feel in control has some serious insecurity issues.

Why doesn't a narcissist give a direct answer of yes or no, when asked a question? Instead you get, “I’ll get back to you”, and you don't hear from them? - Quora

As others have said, they do this to manipulate you. It is easier to manipulate someone when you are being vague and indirect. Usually a narc will stonewall after they have put their hooks in you. They know that if they just met someone and were beating around the bush, the person would say “screw this” and stop talking to them. They do this to you during a stage when they’re confident you’re under their spell. This kind of stonewalling behavior is usually an early stage devalue. They are testing the waters, so to speak. They want to see how far down the rabbit hole of cognitive dissonance they can throw you. They want to see how much manipulation you’ll take. So after the honeymoon/Mr or Ms Nice Narc phase but before hardcore devaluation, you can expect to experience behavior like stonewalling. It’s a precursor for far greater abuse, manipulation and exploitation to come. They are testing to see how good of a supply you are.

I know very little about collecting but even I know that people want stuff that hasnt been opened.

Assuming Phil bought these statues brand new, why does he have this mindset that theyre worth the same amount today (if not more).
Click to expand...
He recorded unboxing videos with Leannas help when he did the "for sale" videos and showed the damage to each statue that apparently was the manufacturer's fault and he never sent back for a refund or asked for a new piece.

He wants what he paid for the items or more. He thinks they've legit gained value over time because they were limited runs (only 200 exist!) Not that their value is determined by the market.

And he charges $100 in shipping.

Haha yeah it's real, I found the whole movie here: https://youtu.be/zNfJkMPTtWQ?t=541

It's a fake documentary. "The National Geographic Channel’s fictionalized account of a 10-day blackout following a major cyber attack draws on previous events and expert opinions to paint a rather bleak picture."
