Are you goddamn serious I actually like this guy less than I like the guy whose job on youtube is to literally shriek and scream rape jokes, at least that douchebag did that charity thing a couple of months ago.

The one thing too - which if he is a troll, he is kinda brilliant - is that there's one Witcher 2 video that's easy to miss and it's really funny. Someone pointed it out to me as "his best video." It's one second long. Basically, he has some sort of automated process for uploading these and the recording hosed up, so one of the Witcher parts was really only one second. This is a mistake anyone can make but it's kind of an old video and he's yet to notice or fix it, so he really, really doesn't give a poo poo.

The worst thing about that is that the Witcher 2 was clearly one of the ones done with a camcorder, so, I don't even know how that is a mistake he made. I do think he would be more bearable if all his videos were about 10 seconds long.

He is the self proclaimed King of Hate because he won a single Street Fighter tournament like five years ago because all the pros expected arcade cabinets and the tournament hooked up PlayStations and the moves/attacks were different. Phil showed up and won because he is a console scrublord. The fallout from that and the legion of "haters" make him feel entitled to the crown. You would think that someone who claims to have such thick skin would be fine with people using his own videos to make fun of him, but he is actually notorious for threatening internet legal action and launching YouTube complaints against people who use his own videos to make fun of him.

I can't believe there does exist a person we can LEGITIMATELY hate and despise for everyone reason he deserves  I dream of people like this to unite others against.I mean, even PewDiePie's given his money to charity, I know that much he at least gives to the World Wildlife Fund. At least he can actually PLAY a game even if he's screaming and ranting, and I dunno how he is personality-wise, but from all that I heard, he's nowhere near as egocentric as DarkSydePhil. See, the worst part is that, if he is a troll, then he's not only been pulling this poo poo for way too long, but he's become the person we despise all the more for it. You can only troll for so long before you like, become the joke and it's just as loving terrible as a person like that existing for real. Like that one guy who wanted to be Retsupurae'd, and he played Mario 64 for like THE ENTIRE loving GAME with the most annoying bullshit voice he could imagine JUST to get that? And yanno, once we all found out, gently caress that guy because that is just pathetic. So even if we find out DSP is a troll, he's still a loving rear end in a top hat all the more for it. I kinda can't entirely hate PewDiePie because I used to be a huge fan of another Let's Player who...was basically like a nicer, British version of him, but still rather all-the-way with his jokes by the name of "psychedelicsnake". But he's a nice guy and I used to like his stuff so when I watched PewDiePie for the first time I was KINDA reminded of him, and I couldn't be a hypocrite in fully disliking it. So I remain neutral, I can see why people like him, and also why they hate him.

Even if I don't like PDP I can at least respect his ability to draw in an audience and play the publicity game. It's as much a stylistic issue as an objection to him himself. DSP is a terrible person who is literally incapable of comprehending what he is doing wrong while refusing to take advice about why his numbers are going bad. Also, what is up with all the blowjob motions his girlfriend is making in that video?

I'd like to recommend the ongoing Two Best Friends LP of I Have No Mouth. I've tried watching other takes on this game in the past, but generally the presenters were more focused on nitpicking arbitrary aspects instead of focusing on the story and symbolism, aka its main draw. So it's a surprise that these guys, notorious for being loud and obnoxious, are able to play through it in a pretty level headed manner, and aren't afraid to base their commentary mostly on analysis of the plot and characters. (I get the feeling most other LPers are uncomfortable with the subject matter and feel obligated to make jokes even when there's little potential for them, and as a consequence their commentary gets superficial and completely removed from the actual content of the game - yes, I'm talking about Retsupurae, amongst others).

I see, so that's why it pretty much popped up out of no where... though at this point it really doesn't much appeal to me, some of their exclusives are pretty good, but mostly I see Markiplier and Pewdiepie along with a whole bunch of poo poo that really isn't interesting. That and ever since blip became a joke I really hate how their videos are and the overall layout.

The other unfortunate implication of DSP buying collectors editions of games, trading them away and then giving the loot away after without the game is that he's one of those atrocious people that trades a game in without the case. If you live near DSP and you want to buy a pre-owned game, there's going to be a pretty good chance you're getting a disk covered in grease from this asswipe.

This is one of two times I've seen this come up in the thread since the DSP hate train got back on the rails. I am utterly failing to understand how that changes anything at all about PDP or how I'm supposed to feel about PDP. The fact that he feels the need to tell people he gives money to charity actually makes me dislike him more for trying to use that as a way to dismiss criticism against him that he is just doing things for money.

I'm still not sure if I can accept if DSP is real, like everything he does is serious, he is unable to read or pay attention to anything, but those videos making fun of him are quite addictive to watch, I don't like the guy or how he acts but these videos blow my mind. This link has collected almost all of those This is how you don't play and DSP tries it http://pastebin.com/vVC91m17 the Castlevania one gets me though, he smashes his pad because he can't work out a puzzle.

It's not an excuse for his behavior, but if most of his income goes to charity, it means he isn't trying to crank out videos for money. Maybe for views/popularity, though.

Nah, he's said that he makes donations to charity and he raised a little under a half a million dollars for a clean water charity through his fans. Again, that's good work, but when you use it as an excuse for your lovely YouTube videos (the most grievous of offenses) it loses impact.
