>Records with a camcorder for years >suddenly worried about quality on twitch

“Oh no, I’m losing money on my KZfaq account and I still need to support me and my unemployed girlfriend. So what do I do? Take out high dollar loans and move to an even more expensive house. That sounds about right.” -Phil, Probably.

My favorite brand of internet tale is "A severely mediocre man has the crushing realization that he is mediocre but refuses to better himself".

"KZfaq shut his channel to avoid litigations with Ubisoft, just to discover it was a honest-to-god troll pretending to be Ubisoft" Good to know some things never change.

I like how anything remotely positive is instantly followed by "but this would not last".

Phil started dating a _woman_ The emphasis makes it sound like he's surprised

I love how Phil thought up a multiple-sentence theory on why people call him *The King of Hate* when it really just boils down to: “you’re an asshole.”

It has been reveled recently that DSP is a mobile game addict, among other things. This really needs a part II.

Calling swatting "questionable" is the biggest understatement I've heard in a while lol

This dude looks like that guy from Toy Story 2. You know, that dude who wanted to sell Woody to some Japanese guy.

This Rabbit Hole digs way more deep that whats shown in the video. Ever considered doing a follow up? It gets a lot whole more interesting than this I can say it for sure. All the stuff that has happened in 5 years its worth checking out.

Phil actually reacted to this, and for most of the video it was him pausing and calling your facts wrong and saying what actually happened. Now if he was a sane normal person I’d believe him because not everyone is in every second of his daily life and drama, but he lies, manipulates, begs. Etc.

Uh. Folks that say he “fell from grace” don’t seem to recognize DSP never changed, their standards just rose from the subterranean depths to the grand heights of “expects basic competence and politeness.”

Man, he really shot himself in the foot from the very beginning with telling his viewers to click on ads

"When he lost he blamed cheaters, when he won he berated his opponent and bragged"...... Literally sounds like every online pvp game nowadays

2021 UPDATE: His bank account got leaked, and so far this year it's confirmed he spends thousands of dollars on mobile games, a thousand a month on alcohol, 2k on door dash, even more.

I can't wait for the day Onision gets a "Down the Rabbit Hole" episode. That dude has so much material!

let's not forget him accepting thousands to play persona 3 just to rage quit it at the final boss on easy mode. even the official youtube account of atlus mocked that one.

Phil: points a camera at the tv screen for years, ignoring requests to use a capture card Phil at Twitch: I would never sacrifice the quality of my videos sir! This guy just likes to argue

Everytime I'm stoned, I somehow find myself watching this on the background while I do other things. *And the part where DSP's eating always put me in fight or flight mode.*

I picture Phil watching this and when the video describes the areas in his career he fucked up he sits there going "Bullshit! There was nothing I could do, dude! COME ONNNN"

I hope that if I’m ever captured and tortured, my interrogator doesn’t have any audio of Phil eating. I’ll crack like glass

I swear, watching any other KZfaq channel is like watching Netflix or TV, but watching DSP is like watching a gorilla sling shit everywhere from behind a glass window at a zoo

I like how this starts bad, gets worse, then continues to get worse beyond anything imaginable like he's somehow a singularity of failure and reality is collapsing into his event horizon of suck.

I love DSP’s logic that, in order to reinvigorate his spirit so he could regain his popularity, he decided to go into debt and move to one of the most expensive cities in America

You urgently need to make an update video on this man. He uses all his fans' donations to pay for gacha games shown from bank leaks. Like, 1000s of dollars dropped on the regular, often daily. He's a gambler and actively denies any of it despite the blatant evidence. He pretends to be oblivious to it and defiantly scares all his remaining fans off one by one. Edit: and I should mention it's a mystery whether or not his current wife is aware of his habits. He also has very absurd habits of impulsively lying over the most insignificant and miniscule of things, and rages and bans people when they point out when he's lying or wrong. There's endless moments of him abusing his fanbase archived on KZfaq to witness for yourself. And every single stream these days, he throws a fit and guilt trips his audience when he doesn't receive any donations for 30-60 minutes. He literally keeps track of time. He definitely acts poorer than he is. This needs to be brought to light so no one falls for his shit anymore.

Phil is like Eric Cartman but in real life

26:10 You should've said "On May 1st, 2016, Phil finally livestreamed himself beating something competently: his meat."

Listening to Darksydephil eating is torture.

It’s kinda hilarious that DSP constantly complains about terrible balancing, bugs and poor control in other games, but his greatest achievement in the FGC is thanks to bugs, terrible balancing and poor control

weird that machinima saw DSP, a man banned from blip for anti-semitism and said "yes, this is a man we need on our payroll"

The story of DSP: "and then things got worse"

That lip smacking when he eats is straight up vile.

Its so weird how ancient 2013 feels

Fun fact: Phil spent more than $40,000 on a mobile game

I've never seen a man work so hard to avoid a job

UPDATE: Phil is about to lose his condo in Connecticut after he failed to pay his mortgage and is about $100k in the hole In short: WHERE AM I LIVING YOU STILL HAVEN'T TOLD ME

Phil is the kind of guy to throw a boomerang, get hit by it, and blame Australia for making such a crappy shuriken. And probably say "Wooow, nothing I could do!". Part 2 when?

It’s been long enough, we need a part 2 DSP himself said he’d react to the video at 400 members on KZfaq, and since this is 6 years old now, it’s time for the update on the last 5 years

Well that was interesting. I had never even heard of this guy before.

Update: Phil and PandaLee broke up, dealt with a Catfish scheme, Curse kicking him out and now is pulling the ebegging card, Machinima is dead.

6 years on, Philip is now a middle-aged man and sadly this video is *still* relevant as his behaviour has not changed. Indeed, with a dwindling viewership on his own channel and allegedly heavily relying on tips and direct PayPal contributions he spends an inordinate amount of time begging for money either during play session or directly to camera with the routine excuses of not being able to meet this month's bills and/or being able to purchase new games. As well as continuing to ban viewer that do in fact financially contribute, Philip has also taken to long-form rants about what he calls his "detractors" going so far as to call anyone that doesn't listen to him an "stupid brainless idiots" and dictates to his small fan base to only listen to him. The "detractors" also take the form of a cottage industry of other KZfaq creators that clip and monetise his content much to Philip's chagrin.

Can we please get a part 2? He is so much worse now, as he has a mobile game addiction, and spends the entirety of his income on DoorDash and booze from Total Wine. Additionally 90% of his income is coming from a group of like 3-5 people.

The man who outlived every channel in Machinima, including Machinima.

As bad as life can be, at least I'll never be this guy

the fact that this guy survived the camera's still on incident means he will outlast every youtube channel on the planet

Remember the last time Phil did a debunk stream, it was nothing but him saying, "That never happened". History will repeat itself.

Many content creators who faded into obscurity were hit by some kind of bad decision or a tragedy in their personal life taking a toll on their content. DarkSydePhil is one of the few whose poor status and personal struggles are entirely to blame on himself without having broken any laws or getting into legal trouble (with the exception of the S.W.A.T. incident, but that wasn't his fault). He's not a criminal, he's not someone who cheated his way into finding fame, he's just a loser in every sense of the word with an unconsciously massive ego who refuses to learn and take responsibility for his poor behavior, which is all the more sad when you realize that with such a long-lasting career, he had every opportunity to save himself if by simply apologizing.

Fredrik Knudsen: *Describes a Bad Thing happening to him* Me: "So was that the end or-" Fredrik Knudsen: "But this was nothing compared to what was about to occur."

Perfect. Never stop making these, please.

29:49- "And if his deal with Curse were to break." Those were prophetic words. The fact that Twitch gave him the boot is noteworthy as well.

He's essentially every 10 year old with a bad temper tantrum playing video games. Except some 10 year olds can actually play with skill.

Long story short: Being an egomaniac can ruin your career.

So THIS is the masturbation guy I've heard so much about.

This video needs a part two! Bwh god almighty DSP has gotten ten times worse in the past five years. From multiple twitch bans, to being fully banned, hiring an escort, tricking his fans into paying for his wedding, banning fans he's had since day one all just because they don't want to tip him through PayPal, charging his fans for the right....for them to see his cat, TO SEE A CAT, FOR A CAT FRIENDS A CAT! His stupid vest streak, ah! and so much more. It's the train wreck that somehow keeps crashing over and over, it's amazing.

After that interview a part 2 definitely needs to be made

"my income is slipping and I'm almost broke, what do I do?" 1. make a 4th failing youtube channel 2. retry twitch for the 3rd time 3. blame my fans 4. beg on patreon and make promises 5. not follow through on promises 6. make another youtube channel how come "work at McDonald's" never occurred to this guy

My favorite running joke of this video is machinma cutting his pay every 5 minutes. Every two minutes we hear "and this cut into his already dwindling income". Dang man just get a job streaming is not meant for you.

I'm just amazed that every single one of these videos - whether it's DSP or Spoony or Andrew Rosenblum from GameLife or WingsofRedemption - they all end up finding a woman who will date them at some point. Wonders never cease.

This guy's videos are so rewatchable and I often found myself watching them more times than it should be. Or maybe because I just forget easily what's even the videos, and every rewatching, it feels like I'm seeing it again for the first time. I love this channel.

That fan who got banned by DSP has gotten possibly the sweetest case of revenge. First, popularizing the trend "This is how you don't play X" and not only it was enough to start a meme, it also exposed DSP's bruised ego and him abusing KZfaq's flagging system. Completely ironic that DSP finally got recognition but not in the best way and it actually contributed to his decline by taking away the attention from him. He's a brilliant mastermind that guy.

Fun fact, Phil has about 58 thousand videos on his account, that would mean he has done 13 videos a day every day for the last 12 years

Wow, so this dude was always in the right place at the right time, but just could not stop self-sabotaging. Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I'd love a part 2 of this. So much has happened since you made this video.

Who wears a shirt with their own face on it? That’s next level narcissism.

Swatting isn't exactly questionable its flat out wrong and illegal.

Only complaint I have is referring to SWATting as just questionable. Shits literally gotten people killed

"He would upload in 10 minute segments" He was ahead of time

This episode was arduous to make; Phillip has a strong tendency to ramble, making it time-consuming to research which, incidentally, is why this episode took so long. Edit: I'd also like to mention that I didn't tell the full story behind Laveria Media; their side of the story is that, when Laveria learned Pultavi was hiring DSP, they demanded they rescind their offer.

Between this and the Spoony video, I am reminded how *not* to act on the internet. Thanks.

This needs a follow up almost as badly as NGNL needs season 2.

I feel like this heavily needs a part 2, there's been so much crap in the past five years with DSP that you'd be surprised.

There are people like Chris-Chan, Terry Davis, Gene Ray and even Spoony, whose stories, despite some controversial events, might be seen as tragic... and there is DSP and Digital Homicide, who can blame only themselves for their downfall.

"Abusing his equipment." Was.. Was that foreshadowing?

New $2000 scam. Last time was a cat. Now it's a live deboonk schtreem. Sounds good?

This is in MASSIVE NEED of a follow up / update / part two ASAP!!

Between all the rants; denial; lies; impatience; and discussing private medical issues relating to his ex-gf online - his biggest problem was a complete lack of self awareness. He lives his life like he's an adult child who has rare moments of maturity.

I like how Fredrick's closing moral for this episode is about the "volatility of a fanbase" when the clear moral here is actually "don't be a piece of shit".

So much has happened since this video released that it would be worth expanding. 👍

I hope this video gets added to the National Video Game museum in Frisco TX, about how toxic gaming can poison the industry. This was such a really great video and can't believe I never watched it until now.

DSP Tries it: BANKRUPTCY

I’ve never heard of Machinima trying to END a contract

"Phil now lives alone in his condominium" 👌 a perfect end to a perfect day

I really hope we get a follow-up to this video eventually. In the time since it was uploaded, he broke up with PandaLee, got married to a new woman named Kat (who may or may not have cheated on another man with DSP), filed for bankruptcy, was exposed for spending $40,000+ on a WWE mobile gacha game, said the N-word on stream multiple times, personally called out multiple popular detractors -- including Tevin and Secret Limited, the latter of whom he said "should not exist" -- and, of course, lost his Twitch partnership for violating their hateful slurs policy, something he still denies to this day despite all the evidence presented to him. He's back on KZfaq, and he's attempting to rebuild his dead channel. But, of course, he does no editing (including his disgusting snorts and burps as always), and he doesn't even do his own thumbnails! So, it's not going too well. It seems as if every new stream is the one with the lowest support of the year, and his subscriber count is essentially stuck in place. He still does his almost daily beg tweets when support is low, and he frequently engages in callouts on twitter (my personal favorite being him commenting on a completely unrelated GameAwards tweet demanding to know why his Twitch partnership was revoked, many months after he had left Twitch and turned to insulting everything about it). Just three days ago he defended himself saying the T-slur (the one for trans people) live on stream, so he certainly hasn't learned his lesson. Edit: I'd also like to add that cataloguing and recording information surrounding Phil is very difficult, as he practices revisionist history (which may be why there has not been a sequel to this DTRH yet). Just recently, DSP has begun doing reaction content, including to this very video! In his commentary on it, he spent 5 hours denying things or overexplaining himself to the extent that he talked circles about lies no one had even heard of before! It's all a mess, but I do hope another DTRH will come out about him one day, if only to help clarify some confusing information about DSP that has resulted from his lies and retconning.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of DarkSydePhil the Unwise? No? I thought not. It's not a story the youtubers would tell you. It's a shit legend.

Bro. I love this series.... but if you EVER make me listen to that sound clip of dsp eating fast food again I'll start a riot

This really needs a part 2. So much has happened

Guy peaked before he even started

The guy is basically stuck in a 12 year old mindset

DSP wakes up every morning he gets out of bed and goes to make some cereal, he gets a bowl and pours some milk, the milk is curdled and he shouts to Panda "How was I suppose to know Milk goes in the fridge?" then he slowly starves as he puts bread in the toaster but the toaster wont work shouting to Panda "How was I suppose to know to plug the toaster in?" Panda plugs the toaster in but nothing changes, Phill hasn't paid the electricity bills. "I bought the house, why do I have to pay for dlc?"

The music in this video is flawless, and also the information about someone who I’ve never heard of captivated me

The 5 year update could just be a 5 second update where Frederick says “nothing changed”.

"Phillip's pride after taking *4th place* was inflated"

I used to watch Phil's content exclusively back in 2010-2013. Even though part of me feels bad for what his life has become, I feel his story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and ego. I honestly believe the best thing for him would be to quit KZfaq for a while. Sell the house, move back to CT, apologize to all his friends for his selfish antics over the past 5 years. Get a full time job and start interacting with real people again.

this is one of my favorite KZfaq videos of all time ! please make a part 2 ounce keem releases his interview/documentary

Despite his parents' best efforts to teach him responsibility, Phil grew up to be a wastrel who squandered his entire fortune.

Swatting is "questionable"? I'm not sure I follow, it seems putting people in danger, wasting resources, and possibly lowering the tolerance and trust of our police force is objectively shit

"I'm losing viewers because I'm just -too good- at videogames." -darksydephil

We need a part two on this more than any other video you've made.

2021 UPD: DSP was kicked off Twitch, crawled back to YT. Mods revolted several times, lots of scammy detail were leaked on to the Kiwifarms.
