There's a whole lot more to DSP than we talked about in our podcast. I based what I said on a video that Mighty Furtado had put out, but didn't know that level or detail, nor that DSP had gotten the Hauppage as any sort of response to Chip's video with me. Or mine with Chip. Or however you want to put that.

I know, Even since the first video you did about that guy he has become something of a Trainwreck fascination for me. The connection with your video and him switching over to direct capture is just speculation on my part really. Most of the details I got about the whole situation come from this video:

I think the idea behind custom image tumbnails is to create a more professional look thumbnail as opposed to just a random screenshot from the video. Most of the facecam poo poo is just part of the dumb trend that YouTube letsplayers buy into. Hopefully they'll grow out of it.

One of the most baffling DSP things is in MGS3 every time Eva was on screen he constantly makes sex "jokes" but in MGS1 if Snake flirts with one of the female support team members he acts like Kojima is the most perverted person on the planet.

It's even worse, during the scene where Eva is mortally wounded he keeps it up and even sticks his hand in front of the camera and pantomines pinching her breasts.

Can somebody explain why he feels this irrational hatred towards Kojima? I mean, apparently one of the requirements for being a troll is liking Kojima's works.

During his LP of Metal Gear Solid 2 he got really frustrated when he tried to run and gun his way through the game, and his ego wouldn't permit him to blame himself for trying to run and gun a stealth game so he blamed Kojima. He then followed up his loving up on MGS 2 by loving up playing MGS3, it didn't help his attitude. Honestly, it's clear that he only plays game for money these day but I do have to wonder if he derives any real enjoyment from playing games anymore.

Funnily enough, this information was made available through his fans, not the people that hate him. His critics know where to draw the line.

Okay here's what you need to do:
Go to his house when he's not home and tape a note to the do that just says "PLAY BAD RATS." Keep doing that for a month until he caves in and finally discovers what a bullshit game really is.

I actually watched a little bit of that, he says that the game is "supposedly" the third and final game in the trilogy, as if there is an off chance that Square Enix was doing some false advertising and the game is really a sequel to Brave Fencer Musashi.

Phil misjudges the tone of a serious game:

Phil makes absurd claims and plays the Silent Hills Playable Teaser and ragequits because he doesn't know what to do:

I should also mention that that part of the video is from a year ago before he moved to Washington, watch it to the end and keep in mind he paid I think $10000 to have them shipped to Washington.

Does that depend on whether or not he's dating someone at the time he makes the video?

No, what happened was that afterthe Adults React to Pewdiepie fiasco he promised to stop making rape "jokes," he wound up going back to them after a few months after things settled down.

So here's what I gathered.

DSP streams his stuff at a super high bitrate because he also gets to use the footage on YouTube too, right? To be fair, 6000 kbps can be fine for 1080p depending on the game (I actually find I need it for 720p on bullet hell games) but Twitch tells you to keep it at 3500kpbs because their servers have to eat that bandwidth from your upstream.

Twitch admin comes in and tells Phil to lower it. He complains a lot and decides to move to YouTube streaming. This pisses off some of his Twitch followers. His solution?

Use Twitch's chat room, but actually stream on YouTube. You can imagine Twitch is none too happy about being used as a chat server, so they remove his chat privilege. He complains more and moves entirely to YouTube streaming.



Later, behind the scenes on his mod forum, he posts a thread to his volunteer mods: "You guys aren't doing enough to help me." The mods stage a mass walkout, lock him out (temporarily) and his website is kinda down now.

Pretty much but from what I gathered, the mod walkout came first.

I am a former competitive Street Fighter player who, in 2008, decided to goof around with a camera while playing video games. I inadvertently became an innovator of the YouTube gaming scene for my unedited, raw "full playthroughs" of the newest games. 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.

Did you know you can fail a mission in San Andreas by getting locked in a freezer with another NPC? I certainly didn't until nearly 11 years later.

I didn't know the fight against The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3 actually was timed until I watch This is How you Don't Play MGS3.

What I really find odd about DSP isn't that he's poo poo with his money, lots of people are poo poo with their money, hell Philip K. Dick was bad with his money and he is one of the greatest Science Fiction writers who ever lived.
It's that he has this weird compulsion to share everything he does with the internet, I mean we have videos of him taking his girlfriend to the zoo for her twenty first birthday, we have videos of his hotel room when he goes on trips, we even have videos of him showing off his new house when he moves he even does unboxing videos, not just of special collectors editions, but of just regular games that don't have special editions. what kind weird form of OCD is there that makes someone thing they have to record every aspect of his life? Seriously I would be suprised if he has hard drive full of videos that he recorded while he was sitting on the toilet. It's just insane.

Since this is more or less the de facto Retsupurae thread I would like to say That I'm honestly surprised that Slowbeef hasn't watched Supergreatfriends old LP of the game from way back when.

Also Slowbeef, if you are reading this do you plan on doing D2 and Enemy Zero? Those game are both even more bonkers than the first D.
