When I watched his first stream of that game I was painfully aware that I had a right click.

I just randomly saw some of his RE4 Mercenaries videos, and while I think he's ok to listen to/watch, he is not that good at this whole 'staying alive' thing. Odd how you had just mentioned him, and I happened to come across his stuff.

Eh, nobody's perfect. And I think he mentions in one of the videos that he hadn't played in a long time. At least he doesn't blame the game for his faults, like some youtubers do.

Going back to Don't Starve videos, YouTube directed me to a user named Volx, who seems interesting. His playthrough of the game starts off with his very first time playing the game, his only prior experience of the game being watching videos of the game and browsing the wiki. I'm 11 video videos into the playlist, and he's been significantly more successful at this game than I ever have and possibly ever will be.

He's still uploading videos of the game today. Aside from that, his playlist is mostly made up of Terraria, with a couple other games in the mix too. It's a newer channel.

He now has a patreon account.

I now live stream daily on my gaming channel DSPGaming as well as do several other vlogging/creative series.


Of course withing hours of this going up the Sons of Kojima donated literally one dollar and apparently ruined what phil was going to do for everybody so he's not going to be doing those things anymore.

Those forums are a real joy, too. He'll regularly delete entire pages of posts that are civil but disagree with him, and then close the thread immediately after writing a gigantic post about how everyone was slandering and bullying him. So, business as usual.

He also banned someone who reported one of his posts, saying "I don't have to follow the rules, I AM the rules."

Today he spent a 15 minute video and a couple hours on his forums throwing a fit because he accidentally picked easy difficulty in the Resident Evil re-release and blaming Capcom for confusing difficulty descriptions, then rage quit the Gat out of Hell DLC.

That's this week's DSP report.

I know he's an idiot but holy gently caress. I want to see him Let's Play Solitaire. Not even a weird version of it or anything, just the one everyone has on a windows box and watch him fail about 4 or 5 times then rage about how the deck was trolling him.

I watched the "This is how you don't play Resident Evil 4" video and saw him die to the first enemy and it kind of got me thinking. Why is DSP like how he is? How can a human being sincerely act like a one-dimensional embodiment of ignorance and mindless wrath? With the camcorder, the whining, and the constant failure, you would almost think of this as some sort of parody or joke, but it's not. It's almost cartoonish, it can't be real. Did he have a bad childhood or something? Maybe he has some sort of complex? I just don't know, I don't think I'll ever understand DSP much like anyone else probably can't.

I dunno about bad childhood but he told one story about it where he begged his parents for a toy, called them stupid when they said no, then bitched about it when he did get it for his birthday the next year.

Wait, that actually gave me a terrible thought: Maybe DSP wasn't weened from breast milk until the day he moved out of his parents house and is why he acts like such a baby all the time. Because if he was a spoiled brat then, chances are good he's going to be a spoiled brat now.

Why doesn't DSP just lock that suuuuper-special content behind a monetary tier that SOK aren't willing to pay? One dollar isn't gonna keep the meanies away, Phil! Like, are they willing to shell out $10 for slightly earlier access to vids? Fans of his (whoever those are) might wanna pay that much, but anti-fans might not. Why doesn't he do this?

Oh wait it's because it's DSP :( I'm surprised he knows how money works in the first place, given that there's no hand-holding tutorial for it.

The way he told it, he was complaining about not getting the "first run" when he got it later on. Because that's totally something kids think about. Getting the first run of a toy.

Sadly, my Adsense didn't get reinstated minutes after the article went up, which was exactly what happened to Nick Reineke, when he was interviewed on Kotaku about the same thing! :( Still waiting to see if that's going to happen or not.
