Last night's stream was something else. It was like he was on adderall during the RE demo. Clown mode and wouldn't stop talking.
The Call of Duty stream was the usual horrible bitchy gameplay. Actually no, more quiet than usual. It was like watching two different people. Absolutely disturbing.
 
@DontEatSilicaGel The fact that he talked about playing mobile games long before anyone found his Champions account, along with the fact that he refuses to be linked to said account, tells me that Phil's concern, years ago when he spoke of how gacha works, was people finding out how much money he was willing to dump into such things. Even after his Champions account was found, Phil was still looking not terribly nervous compared to how terrified of the subject he is today. Why? Because even here, not everyone was convinced right away. Now it's something his own fans believe.

Phil didn't necessarily plan to spend $40k plus, right from the start, but he knew back in 2016, at the very latest, that he was capable of wasting enough money on mobile games to feel mortified by the thought of people knowing it. He is clearly comfortable with it being known that he has played them, but not even the figures for Dokkan, Supercards, and whatever the fuck are something he is similarly comfortable with talking about. It has to be because they're too big.
 
He was already clowning out about it. WUUUUUT??? SHE'S A VAMPIRE BUT SHE'S SURROUNDED BY A SWARM OF BUGS??? WUUUUUUT???
I mean for fuck's sake, to stall he did 3 full rants of him pigsplaining how Resident Evil evolved and changed genres multiple times throughout its existence and even bitched about how monster designs as the games went on ended up just going full retard with how over the top they were, but somehow a design as basic as big tiddy vampire goth gf surrounded by a swarm of bugs makes him lose his suspension of disbelief?
Pigroach fails to realize that atmosphere is a core component with these games and he defecates all over it with his constant squealing, instead of saving it for later. It's like riding the haunted mansion ride with all the maintenance lights on.
 
Yeah, it will have to be his health at this point. We have some nice foreshadowing with the prominent stroke droop, recent bizarre capture of his eyes falling out of sync, and chronic ear infections. In a normal person, these things would be canaries in the coal mine for brewing issues.

Realistically, the bankruptcy should have been it. If anyone had been competent, if anyone had done their job, and if there weren't a pandemic muddling things, Phil should have been absolutely destroyed, and it would have been public by nature of the proceedings. People were bitter about it because it really was the logical narrative conclusion. But it didn't happen.

Now we linger on in real life 'overtime', to put it in autistic stream schedule terms, and it's become abundantly apparent that only an act of God is going to strike Phil down. Otherwise, he'll just meander in this holding pattern of misery and failure, probably banking on his inheritance as any sort of retirement plan. The finale is going to have to come from within, as his own body fails him in a final grand act of detracting, if it is going to happen at all.

He may outlast us all. But at least he'll hate every moment of it.
I can't imagine by body crapping out at 38. In fact, I don't think most people do at 68. It's such a depressing thing to think about that someone would crap out that "early" in life.

But it's Phil so he'll probably live until 2100
 
Also got confused reading a note from one of the servants talking about how the lady got angry with her for leaving a window open. Jeez Phil, I wonder why a vampire wouldn't want sunlight coming in?
When he escaped the basement dungeon and saw an open window he got confused. Why is the window open when the servant said that they wanted it closed NUHUHUH? When you look outside it's clear that it's night time, while in the note when the servant mentioned opening the window it was done during the day. I wonder why a bunch of vampires don't mind an open window when it's night time, but do when it's daytime. Man is Dave stupid.

What I find hilarious about the invisible enemy complaint is that it makes it seem like Dave doesn't have object permanence, if he doesn't see you kill him and you were either in his field of view and his old man eyes didn't see you, or if you are just outside his field of vision and clapped him, you were invisible and the game sucks and is laggy and there are two servers, a lheggy one for Dave and a perfect 0 ping one for everyone else (remember that excuse he made yesterday?)
The same happens when he gets flanked and clapped from the side or behind. It's NEVER because Dave's camping playstyle makes him more likely to get flanked and then clapped by someone who watches the minimap and sees that his dot always appears in the same spot when he fires his gun. No, you must've spawned right behind him, gun in hand, aiming down the sights right at Dave's oddly shaped head. There is no other logical explanation.
 
Bonus CoD clips from last night:

Phil has been playing Call of Duty yearly for over a decade now. He legitimately doesn't know that hip-firing significantly reduces your aim accuracy. Especially when you're moving.

(Watch this one full screen)
Phil has been playing Kill Confirmed since Black Ops and he still doesn't understand how it's played.
"If my whole team has a positive K/D ratio, how the fuck did we lose?"
First off, nowhere on the scoreboard does it show anyone's K/D ratio.
Secondly, it's KILL CONFIRMED. Eliminations don't count. Only the dog tags do.

It would be bad enough on its own that he demands $200 a day of extra money, but the fact that THAT is what he offers up as entertainment makes it so much worse.

And it's entirely because that's how he wants to play, which itself is determined by his psychological issues.

Sort of related: Someone once remarked that he loves curb-stomping newcomers because he wants to be the only try-hard. After watching some old 3rd Strike footage of his, wherein he was quite the sore winner, I would like to add to that the idea that when he plays Super Turbo in particular, he's not re-living old glory days. He's living out a fantasy he didn't get to realize, wherein he uses his same tactics but they don't get adapted to and he is gifted with the victory he wanted. That's his all-consuming dream, to be everything that he is and still win. To never change, and still win. To act like a complete asshole, and still win.

That, or he does recognize it and shits all over it on purpose because he can't even share the spotlight with a fucking video game. Just look at how often his old playthroughs are full of him telling NPCs to STFU even though they can't hear him because they're fucking fictional characters.

Could easily be either one, he is both really dumb and really selfish.

I haven't touched any of the Tokyo Xtreme Racer games since 2003 and I still remember that you come up behind a Rival and flash your headlights to challenge them. Why? Because I did it hundreds of times.

I would love to hear Phil explain what his excuse is in a "Liar Liar" type fantasy situation where he is physically unable to say anything but the truth.
 
Well, his Resident Evil playthroughs tend to be entertaining. Because he's shit at them. That said, Phil can absolutely not do Survival Horror in general as a streamer. Thinking about it there's almost no genres he's a good fit for. I know he enjoys interactive movies and Ubisoft busywork sims the most, but he makes them dull as well. His newfound "I'm a Spade type!" gimmick also really grates. You know, the whole types of players text from a few years back. Diamonds shine, clubs beat, hearts socialize and spades dig. Phil's doing the in-depth exploration of games now mostly to stall, so he's a Spade poser. Add that to the fact that Spades make the games the most boring for all other types. Nobody really wants to look at every nook and cranny of a map, and that seems to be Phil's new gimmick. Purely to avoid gameplay. It's amazing. Even the other completionist Spade types at least try to focus on collectables. Phil simply lingers and fucks around far longer than anyone should.

Aris once said that it's pretty easy to just be tensed up and ready to not get scared at horror games, but it's cooler for everyone if you just allow the scares to happen, and I fully agree. It doesn't have to be the 2013 squealing at the camera youtuber thing, but if you're playing Outlast and you never get jumpscared it's just a snorefest to watch. Of course, Phil would never allow that to happen, since it cuts into his macho, supercool dude image... At least the one in his head.

To wrap this thing up, how the FUCK is anyone surprised by a vampire-insect correlation? When you think of bloodsuckers, vampires or bats might be one of the first things that come to mind, but let's be real: Mosquitos, some type of moths, parasitic wasps. Bloodsucking is primarily the domain of insects. Insect-looking human vampires aren't even new in media, Darkest Dungeon did them. Most people don't like insects, so it helps with the atmosphere. Swarms can also be really oppressive gameplay wise, and even tricky to deal with. The fact that he can't grasp this after having played games for most of his life shows just how disconnected he is from the scene and the industry. It's unbelievable how he doesn't naturally develop any savvyness.

Phil doesn’t get scared from those games because he enjoys “intelligent, cerebral, psychological horror” (his words) not that jump scare shit. Though it’s funny because if you watch him when he is playing those games he’ll be talking a lot more and much louder. Almost as if... but that can’t be the case because Phil is a valedictorian and valedictorians don’t get scared by noises/jump scares/etc, only dumb nudniks and clown youtubers do.
 
OIC thinks he matters to Phil, He thinks we care about him helping Phil

whales come whales go they don't matter to Phil he will get a replacement for your tard bucks
they don't matter to us as we have a giant sea full of tards to laugh at that seem to breed at a remarkable speed

every time a tip comes in from a whale I think of this...

I can totally understand someone being like "I just don't think vampires belong in Resident Evil". I can totally get that, doubly so for PS1-era fans who openly hated 5 & 6. That said saying "it's not realistic the virus would do that" is nonsense, not just because it's a fictional virus that already does things well outside reality, but also because previous Resident Evil's viruses did far crazier things. He even says this but I guess vampire insect ladies is just too much of a leap?
