Do give the cliffnotes version after you're done watching that. I enjoy having a good laugh.

Short early version: a subsidiary of Laveria's was the one contacting Phil and got him partnered through a mistake in the back end, but when his channels were up to be managed the bosses at Laveria did a couple days of background checking, decided that the masturbating and racism didn't fit their brand, and released him immediately.

Which is a liiiiiiiiittle different from Phil's version, in which he never partnered with anyone because he wanted to "try things out on his own for a little while."

Also true. They seem to be the top of a pyramid scheme that Phil got caught up in by someone near the bottom offering him the world. I mean, Laveria's best performing channel only reuploads Spanish language Naruto episodes. This kind of thing could only happen to Phil.

I'm being completely serious here, so don't laugh: it did a very poor job "selling" me on watching a PewDiePie video. I know he's the #1 subscribed-to guy on YouTube, and this game was clearly meant for "the choir", but I would have appreciated it if the designers had a little bit of a viewpoint of "not everyone playing this is gonna get every single reference". This my honest critique of the game.


I stopped posting videos here because I figured everyone from SA would've subscribed by now, and I don't have as much time to keep a (good) thread going on SA. Plus, I love streaming and it's kinda hard to make that "work" for a thread on SA because the discussion is out-of-whack with people watching live and then viewing videos after the fact.

Sorry, I won't take away more of the topic, just wanted to give an answer to this even though nobody cares.

Man just post a thread and updates and interact a bit with the guys then write a complete faq with humorous annotations that slowly reveal your will to live is dissolving

Its not even as if DSP wasnt aware of being mistakenly partnered
He kept saying he HAD a new partner already
Why cant this guy just be honest?

Because being honest about this situation would mean he has to admit the "haters" were right, and surely a bunch of sociopaths who constantly put guns to Phil's head can't be right.

Maybe DSP should have a segment where he talks about the truth with no bullshit. Maybe some catchy title that matches his King of Hate persona. I was thinking he could call this segment the Hateful Facts.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

He already uses something similar for his reviews, "The Hateful Truth". Or, at least he used to, I dunno what he does with his reviews now that they're on his KOGaming channel. I'm looking through the videos on that channel and he's uploaded a TIHYDP for MGR:R. :psyduck:

Phil's biggest problem is that he was ahead of his time, and it was much too early to out yourself as a racist piece of poo poo. If he just rebranded himself as an Alt-Right LPer, he'd probably have a huge audience. Maybe even partner up with JonTron and become the new GameGrumps.

I'm sorry you don't find it hilarious to see a man pretend he's a Nazi, killing Jews while making comments like "Give me your money! You've hoarded it long enough!" and "You big-nosed freak!"

The funny thing about that video was that at the end he was reading a comment about someone who complained about him being about him being a panhandler in his relationship to his audience and that it could only end badly.
and lo and behold it did indeed end badly.

He's got to be at the end of the line at this point. I really don't see how he can recover unless something miraculous happens or unless he makes some huge changes to himself and somehow turns things around.

He refuses to finish Scarface because then Fred Fuchs will be able to finish the excellent TIHYDP of it - it even got voted to be played recently as part of a "worst games ever" marathon and Phil quit it within an hour.

As for Persona 3, he did ragequit at the last boss, and then received the greatest comment ever:

Scarface: The World Is Yours? Why on earth was that voted for a "worst games ever" marathon? I mean, it's certainly no San Andreas or anything, but from what I recall it's a perfectly competent open world GTA clone.

Because Phil didn't know how to make money properly and kept being an idiot (like shooting the drug dealers you're supposed to talk to and saying the game is glitched when said drug dealers started shooting back at him). As for why it was voted, it's because Phil is only entertaining when he's angry. It's not like all his "haters" rigged the voting either - this was his hardcore fanbase who asked him to play this.

Ah, okay then. I kinda assumed it was something like that, because like I said I remember Scarface being a pretty decent game with some fun mechanics.

I've actually considered LPing it for a while now, but I need to get my hands on one of the console versions first. The PC port barely worked when it was new, let alone on modern systems.
