Phil is suggesting that the next Viewer's Choice marathon be locked to retro games that he already played (not within the last 5 years). He explained that Kat put on RPG music last night to relax and the Chrono Trigger soundtrack played. Phil explained in depth that he would like to play CT again.
So he basically wants to play CT and is already trying to steer people to vote for that in this theoretical event. He'll probably play it regardless and probably to use it to stall on playing whatever actually wins.
He is trying to get people to pay him for an event, to play a game (CT or otherwise) that he would likely have picked up again anyway, and then will beg during playthrough. He really loathes that he has to play Divinity.
Phil is getting frustrated that people are suggesting games that he hasn't played, and is telling them they need to go search if he ever played the game themselves - if he didn't, it is ineligible. Classic TIHYDP views are about to get a sudden surge...
@LyteSydeByll Any thoughts on the fact that, as you have been playing CT, Phil has suddenly had the revelation that he needs to play it as well? Seems like a strange coincidence to me...
