How did you find out Phil in the first place?

[PaulBearer]

I found out about him when he masturbated in front of children.

I found out about him years ago with his MGS2 TIHYDP by evilaj. I was watching speedruns of MGS2 and 3 and saw the Phil compilation... I thought it was a joke, like a parody or something, like "oh look at all those amazing speedruns, I'll do the opposite and fuck everything up." Then I learned it was for real and I've been hooked on the saga since. How people watch this guy for anything other than laughing at him is beyond me.

There was a site years ago called MeetMeInTo and there was a Forum that had a gaming section. A random post I beleive I came across on there referencing him/his youtube. Unfortunate to say I've been aware of DSP for at least 10 years.

You poor soul...I'm at about 5 years of knowing about him and currently celebrating my 3rd year detractorism legacy. Said it when I joined a few months back but I came across his stuff when looking into San Andreas gameplay because it was one of the few GTA games I didn't play much back in the day. He was on a mission where he had to chase a guy on a dirt bike and it took forever for him to complete the mission. Yet he uploaded all of his 10 min failed attempts much like he just uploads his crap today. It wasn't till a year or two later that I started to see what a POS person he from all the detractor stuff that came into my recommended videos.

I learned about him when that fapping on camera thing happened years ago.

 

[GoodCobber]

Started out watching random vids on youtube and then fell into the SonsofKojima rabbit hole. Needless to say, kept interest in him despite those retards
There's some genuine good content laughing at him, despite how many of these faggots seem to implode

 

[Plant Aqua Mammal]

I found out about Phil from a friend who showed me him during the The End boss fight in snake eater. Never saw anyone that stupid before, so I went down the rabbit hole and here I am.

 

[Serf 'n' TERF]

I don't remember how I discovered him originally, but he fell off my radar for years. Some time later, a friend started to talk about him to me and I was convinced that it was all a very elaborate ruse and that no man could ever be that vapid, stupid and irresponsible.

How wrong I was...

 

[ShimmyHolmes]

When TIHYDP:MGS3 really blew up. The fact I watched a lot of Retsupurae at the time probably got it into my recommends.

[hector85]

i found him when i searched youtube for a RE1 remake puzzle solution, his was the first video on the list and i wasted 10 minutes watching the video that did not even get to the puzzle because he was just running in circles making unfunny jokes.

Encyclopedia Dramatica. Most users in that sites have faded into obscurity and/or stopped being lolcows.

Not Phil though. With zero shame and expert begging techniques, he keeps himself relevant.

 

[Pandalee’s Tits]

I was drunk in like 2011 and asked a friend for rage quit recommendations and was given DSP’s Demon’s Souls playthrough. *edit* Dark Souls.

I really enjoyed hating the shit out of every facet of his personality.

 

[Somecatchyname]

I feel like I always knew about Phil. When let's players started getting big I remember people always talking about not wanting to be like DSP.

i just looked this up. May not be what you are talking about cuz in 2014, but this guy was good. god damn, he got some really good salt out of DSP. Makes a funny joke about panda and gets Phil talking about mental illness and society, (apologies for the fred fuchs video download)

 

[Tears for T]

I know about him years ago, but my interest came back when I heard about fapgate.

Fredrick Knudsen did a good job in that mini-documentary.
