WHO IS DARKSYDEPHIL?
>DarksydePhil, DSP, The King of Hate, Phillip Burnell is a former fighting game player who began let's playing in 2010 before it boomed. After he had gotten fired from his day job working at a helicopter company, DSP decided to turn let's playing into a full-time job. Although his gameplay is horrible, there's more to let's playing than just the gameplay. This is the aspect Phil fails at, and that is everything else related to let's playing. Editing, public relations, commentary, you name it. What truly makes him a lolcow however are his ego and his delusion. He truly believes that he is the inventor of let's playing and is above constructive criticism. Phil actually believes that his video game playthroughs are works of art. Offering any sort of constructive criticism whatsoever will cause Phil to accuse you of being a hater and/or troll and block you. Try to offer constructive criticism on his own forums? He will immediately lock the thread. As far as Phil is concerned, his word is the only correct one and that everyone else is wrong. Phil always makes promises to change and he has done so for the last two and a half years, but has shit his pants and done nothing at all to deliver on those promises. Phil expects PewDiePie-level views for absolutely no effort whatsoever on his part. He has called out numerous reviewers and critics for chastising mediocre games that he himself liked such as Duke Nukem Forever, Resident Evil 6, and Murdered: Soul Suspect. Phil calls himself The King of Hate because "he uses the hate he gets to fuel himself" but in truth, Phil has thin skin and cannot realize that his own personality is why he receives the hate to begin with. Phil himself is completely unable to accept reality. When the times change, Phil refuses to adapt and in the rare instance he does try to improve, it's the wrong areas. Phil truly believes that anyone who offers him constructive criticism or in rare instances, is a legitimate troll, is jealous of his success but the reality is that no sane person would ever want the lifestyle Phil currently has. This was a man who would, for years, try to justify pointing a camera directly at his TV and would diss anyone else for being someone who wears headphones and records their games on a computer monitor. While those kinds of let's players do exist, Phil delusion and refusal to do research makes him blind to the fact that there are plenty of others who can do direct capture while sitting on a couch, playing without headphones on. Despite all the consequences that come from his actions, he truly believes none of it is his fault. To Phil, it's not his fault that people don't like that when he chooses to include his girlfriend in his videos, people hate it, it's the viewer's fault for not tolerating her. It's not his fault that his personality and attitude has caused thousands of videos regarding Phil to appear over the years, everyone else is just mentally ill. It's not his fault that he's been banned for excessive racism from blip.tv, it's a troll's fault for being jealous and reporting him. Those are just examples of how Phil is completely incapable of accepting fault.
