Why I Made A Beggar's Journey

[@whatweplayen]

Phil isn't a clown...He's the whole Circus. The audacity of shouting at his 'fans' to give him more money for his day off and then to call his limp game play a full time job is insane. Reality cant come quick enough to hit him in the face. But as always great video dude. Nothing brings people together more than mutual hatred of another.

[@keepmymindpreoccupied2892]

Well said 👌

[@cloudzack1090]

Yep he is a one man beggers circus

[@MeatMonsterMan]

It's like being a historian except vastly more important, we cannot ever allow people to avoid remembering the pigroach, they must face history to learn from it.... "Oh... The camera's on!"

[@GinSoakedBrain]

Cameras been on the whole time.

[@error_404.69]

It's also important to catalog this train wreck because as we all know Phil is no stranger to the retcon

[@honkworld9405]

It's the guy I'm watching his twitch!

[@honkworld9405]

Metokur's DSP GTA commentary is legendary, I've watched that bit like 10 times. Never gets old.

[@redwolfe7049]

Why I love the dsp detractor community so much is because it is a pretty welcoming community and the ones who create content like you do, are usually very unique from each other with some slight similarities between. Keep up the great work. I would love to do something like this but I think all the angles have been covered.

[@killergrooves2438]

16 in 2016? WTF? That smooth, buttery Keith David voice had me thinking you were 40.

[@NaoRonin]

He's not entitled to have a meal out with his wife every week. That's an option not a requirement. If you ain't got the money to eat out then you cook a meal at home and that's it. The entitlement that comes out of Phil is off the charts.

[@wombawomba9687]

That's the main thing he always brings up like it's the one and only thing that keeps the relationship together. In his ignorant mind eating out on a restaurant is a sign of success and cooking your own food is a sign of failure, similar to why he never ever would and could consider living in an apartment instead of a house

[@kin4386]

Honestly. He drops that piece of knowledge of his daily life like he doesn't even think about what comes out of his mouth.

[@kyraiki80]

Life's good, life's great STFU and donate 😁

[@jimjones9631]

I do something similar. Usually we have a date night a week because it just is nice to have a night devoted to just us. Know how I do it? I budget. I cut out expenses I didn't need to spend on. Spending money on a wrassle wrassle gacha is money he could spend with his wufe

[@RealCrazyDiamond]

You've go the cool, dulcet tones of a dude matched with the strong pimp hand needed to deal with Dave's bullshit. You're doing just fine.

[@BrazilBoi55]

I was never a fan of DSP either lol I started with LTG because his trolls are absolute savages and few years ago I was getting into the FGC community and I kept hearing people call LTG the “black DSP” and that peaked my interest. So I watched the rabbit hole vid on DSP and for years ive been following this trainwreck of a human just seeing the downward spiral that is known as Darksydephil. Also shoutout to you Mortis for starting out making AMVs like me, I saw that old X vid you made and that was one of my inspirations for making AMVs so goodlooks dawg! ❤️💯

[@PhillyBatts]

Neither DSP or LTG have shit on WingsOfRedemption. He is the lolcow boss.

[@Drums_of_Liberation]

@@PhillyBatts Nah. Wingo at least has a level of self awareness

[@stevent9612]

Really enjoying the Beggar's Journey and can only echo what others have said here. Glad you overcame your doubts, you're a mighty fine detractor 👍

[@hendersonstevec]

No bullshit the amount of attention and detail you put into the “A Beggar’s Journey” is some top notch journalism. You would be a great investigative journalist if you got bored of being a detractor!

[@ChrisCantHaveItAll]

Dude your voice is one of the best things of these videos, it really complements the footage and info. Plus when you mentioned your age and I realised you were in your early twenties now I thought 'hell yeah'. Really enjoying your videos man, keep it up

[@TheJman669]

"Why are you laughing?!" Because clowns exist to be laughed at.

[@wesleyem3]

I can't thank Mister Metokur enough for introducing me to Lolcows. I got started on the internet later than most, and he was such a huge influence into the weird niche stuff I watch now. Keep up the good work Mortis.

[@grimlockimusprime7469]

I've enjoyed the DSP videos and his current situation with his gifted memberships gonna be hilarity coming

[@billbrasky1318]

Big ups, dig your voice and the clean way you lay out your content. Keep it up.

[@KingDusk278]

“You think it’s funny that I have to work 6 days a week and can’t spend time with my family because I don’t have money?” I don’t know whenever I work 6 days a week I get paid.

[@onigames7309]

My first exposure to DarksydePhil was a video on him a KZbinr called NFKRZ back in 2016 when he did commentary videos. After that video, I searched more of him, and have been watching the trainwreck since.

[@suprcrzy]

Keep grinding man! 🙏

[@stormkelleh]

Bro don’t talk crazy. You got a great voice for this.

[@bosscomplex]

found DSP a few years back after searching for dead rising 1 lets plays, as I like seeing how other people play my favorite game. it was enjoyable watching someone so utterly inept and unable to adapt at all. then TIHYDP started popping up on my home page. followed by detractor channels, then the DTRH vid etc... found wings thru the dsp lolcow connection. then lastly found LTG, who honestly I know a lot of people like LTG, so I don't find him as much of a enigma as the other 2. this is also how I even know who keem is, still haven't watched any of his vids, same with onlyusemeblade who is just a fucked up individual, and lastly PKA. god, this has been one hell of a ride the past few years uncovering all this shit I had no idea existed. Big Ups XMORTIS and all the fallen detractor channels the past few years. still hoping liquid Richard comes out of retirement lol 🙏

[@wentoneisendon6502]

huge fan of your beggars journey vids

[@peterwatkins3982]

First off and i think i speak for the majority here on the channel that iam happy you overcame your doubt and left your mark on the DSP lore cause the most important thing a lolcow like Phil needs is an opposition cause every actions of Phil needs a proper reaction from as many people as possible not to create the biggest possible audience for the creator itself but for the cost itself and that is showing the truth of ever lying internet e-beggar or similar trades cause imo this topic will never end. Just like the circle of detractor: First feeling pity for a person after doing or saying stupid shit, then getting deeper into the subject and understanding how much bs is behind ever single person in the category and finally wanting to stop the shit those people do by voicing the truth those people will never give out. So thanks Mortis and keep on doing your stuff until we can happily sa that the chapter DSP has ended for good (hopefully before Phil passes away so he will not be remembered as a martyr).

[@military30able]

Hey Mortis, much like how you felt Almighty Tevin made your workdays fly by, your videos make my workdays fly by as well! I really enjoy your documentaries and commentary, you hit that sweet spot of being both humorous and informative. I'm glad you kept pushing through your self-doubt, it's a struggle I completely understand. You do good work and I hope you keep going!

[@Dooley710]

You're probably the best DSP historian like if someone wanted the full lore of DSP I would send them to your channel and tell them to watch the beggars journey, I cant think of another channel that does a better job of explaining the lore. Keep it up man cant wait to see what you do going forward.

[@JMTCG]

A Detractors Journey Part 1

[@BrassNolan]

Mortis, you have done some really impressive work in your short time in this community and am glad you threw your hat into the ring. Don’t worry about hating your own voice played back to you; most people do and it’s a natural reaction due to how unnatural it sounds to the person hearing it.

[@jarodk1294]

I love this series, one of the best ones explaining DSP’s life and stuff.

[@iamlucidess]

Just wanted to say I loved Felix the Cat as a kid and your channel reminds me this lost gem of a cartoon still exists. Big ups xMortis!

[@jasonvoorheesthethird]

What is up everyone...hello hello and welcome! ULTRA WET SNORT! Oh the camera is ahn....the camera has been ahn the whole time uh!? I didn’t even know...........hello..........

[@joshs2734]

I'm really glad you decided to overcome your doubts and post that video. You've easily become one of my favorite creators. My life is...lets just say rough, and I'm always super hyped when I see a new episode of A Begger's Journey uploaded. Partly because I just enjoy the content, and partly because it helps distract me from everything I'm going through, so thanks. Also, your voice is perfect for video essays. It's like a vat of butter with gravel mixed in....which...uh..does not sound like a compliment now that I read it out loud, but it is. Smooth with a deep layer of roughness that is just very pleasing to listen to. Keep it up man.

[@beavisjones9199]

Love all your dsp videos, I always learn something I didn't know about even though I've been following phil for like 5 years now. I'm glad someone is finally putting together a solid historical documentation of dsp

[@Cowboys4life123]

Just found your channel and watched your whole beggars journey series today. Great work. Thanks for putting in the time.

[@wish-i_warsocks2074]

I’ve always wanted to make video essays or podcasts on just whatever may be interesting me at the time, whether it be games, manga, lolcows, etc.. The main thing preventing me, besides procrastination, is that I hate my voice when I play it back. I find myself trying to tweak my voice in certain ways and end up sounding even stranger. I’ll then get flustered & embarrassed at how I think my voice sounds, so I always scratch whatever it is I’m doing. Hell, I do that when I try to do a little Snapchat video or something when I speak. Always takes me several drafts before I can just accept it, and it murders my self-esteem when it comes down to it.

[@xMortis]

I feel you, I still experience this. But if you put effort into what you do , you can make it happen. I hate hearing myself speak too.

[@meerkat_mob]

Much love ♥

[@superraiden]

Love your work Mortis, You're one of the realest guys on KZbin I sub to. No clickbait, no fake personality, just an authentic dude laughing at lolcows producing A-tier content. Keep it up, you're awesome!

[@kin4386]

I used to be a decently big fan of DSP. I legitimately loved his sense of humour. Sure, he sucked at the games he played, but I was able to look past that because I found HIM entertaining. But the one single thing that turned it all around was John and Howard's talk on him. After I found out about that, I started finding out all kinds of other shit I was ignorant to beforehand. And I immediately unfollowed him completely.

[@Qmangiggity69]

Now there is no turning back brother we are all trapped in the tism vortex

[@gregwilliams4926]

It's really interesting to see new detractors growing each day from multiple people. I hate to admit it but he was my first youtuber back in 2010. A guy who used to make videos named Free1Up had a challenge for DSP on SF4, ever since then I liked the large amount of coverage and inviting friends over to play. It was such a cool thing even though alone I roll my eyes whenever he does solo commentary. I fell off when he played Snake Eater because he blocked me for defending my favorite game, then definitively when he swapped to capture card with the most dumest comments on Super Mario 3D World with being amazed on what you can do since Mario 64. Then randomly on a PS3 youtube recommendation I saw someone archiving his streams and it was for the Amazing Spider-Man 2 in the middle of 2010, then I followed the detractors, then the infamous SoK then I fell off again, then here I am now. It amazes me how much entertaining detractor videos there are now a decade later. I can tell stories on what he does back in the day that no one brings up, such as the time he said the N word on Heavy Rain and he said in the comments his black friend died for whatever reason and didn't say sorry that he said the N word. Also ever since Duke Nukem Forever 2001 got leaked, I remember that he was a massive fanboy of what got released and how delusional he was and brought up game media is a shit show, like yeah of course you bring up game journalists for easy points but that doesn't have to mask the fact that Duke Forever 2011 was a shitty game. I think it was a long the lines of "It's a mix of classic and modern gameplay, and I played it on PC max settings.." 1. It wasn't classic at all and 2, how the hell did he not notice those sharp elbows some female models even on "max settings."

[@alexkaine4625]

I think your video essays are superb, as is your voice. Keep making the content.

[@EdenianSavior]

Very cool to hear your Origin story. I was never a fan of DSP, either. I stumbled upon him playing Mortal Kombat 9, which is my favorite fighting game franchise. I was amazed at how bad he was, and, the rest is history. He got worse over the years, in almost every game, and, overall in general. I enjoyed your series, and appreciate you for making it. Big ups.

[@Shiloh7377]

Love your work my man!! Keep on keeping on. I'm tha same as you on the voice thing (I cringe when I hear my voice played back to me) bring from the south and all I have a heavy southern accent... But yea mortis, your content rocks!!

[@the_sid]

The beggars journey is great, it always reminds me to not pity phil. I am newer to the vortex and less aware of the past, and with each new video I realized he has done nothing, but get worse. Great series and it really sheds light in his awful behavior from start to the eventual end (or for those more hopeful the redemption arc)

[@Fourthirteen82]

Man I got recommended your channel a week ago or something and I been binging the Phil stuff. Great work. I've been into the Phil shit for a LONG time, off and on and you did a great job covering it. I hope you continue and find more niche things to talk about, cuz it's always fun to hear a new little event that happened. Funnily enough, I'm exactly one week younger than Phil and while we are very different people, we also have a lot of similarities where if I weren't so self aware, I could be just like him. So I feel like I understand Phil more than most people, while still hating him and laughing at him cuz I know where his bullshit is coming from but he can't control himself.

[@Beautiful_Mess]

I just watched #14, and now I’m going to watch the other 13!! 🙏🙏🙏 So very well done!

[@billwilson1225]

Tevin and DSP were like a double act, him being such a good deadpan.

[@JCM-x84]

I feel you on the not liking to hear your voice played back either. But you have a great voice for this, it's really chill, perfect for talking about these crazy LOLcows.

[@blueduderecreation2103]

I discovered DSP when I was getting into Metal Gear Solid. I found the this is how you dont play and the rest of history.

[@deviltronix]

I found out about DSP after looking for a demon souls playthrough And I came up with the this is how you don't play. I couldn't believe it was a whole series dedicated to highlighting some no names bad gameplay. But once I dug under the surface It didn't take long to unearth all of his bad behavior.

[@Maximusls2400]

U know im goin through the same issue when startin a yt, motivation wise. Thanks for the words of the wise.

[@retrorockerross]

My history: I remember seeing DSP's gameplay videos on the front page of KZbin back in like 2008/2009 and watched some of them. He was terrible at games, but his videos were decent for the time and his sense of humor could hit every now and then. But I never really followed him. When I got seriously into the FGC when SF4 came out (after playing casually as a kid back in the 90's) I found out about the Evo 2005 story and then all the craziness about Phil. Now I watch a few of the detractor channels and enjoy watching the trainwreck that is DSP's life.

[@Nathan_Coley]

Ooh a Mortis video, let's GOOO!!!

[@Nathan_Coley]

For real Mortis you need to go into something like indie wrestling commentary or some shit. Love your voice. Edit: I fux with your voice 😂🤣 sorry had to bro.

[@7602tall]

But in fact...xMortis was in fact one of the cool guys.

[@silvertail7131]

I think my story of finding phil is similar, except for ever hearing about him prior to rabbit hole. And for the record, no joke, first thing I thought when I started watching your documentary was that you had a great voice for this kind of thing. Good pacing, enunciation, very clear to listen to. Good narration voice.

[@hannibelledarollmodel]

You have no idea how much life you gave me when you said AMVs. Those used to be my shit when I was in middle school...in '09. Good times.

[@IAmJoedub]

Big ups Mortis you're doing very well with the series production on point voice on point (i feel you on the hating to hear your own voice too) keep up the good work man

[@greenl0bster]

Love the videos, if you ever want to find smaller lolcows and even what should be considered horrorcows from how crazy they are there’s 2 streamers you check out. The first one is daywave radio & the second one is jjstoner they’ve put me on to a ton of cows that are way funnier and crazier than DSP. They livestream M-F from 10am-2pm

[@paintrain72684]

Series was incredible. I would love to hear your commentary on your views of FAZE clan and those other groups changed as you've grown.

[@perturbedxtirade7428]

You're one of the cool guys xMortis :D with a good voice. 👍

[@MasterEvc]

'working full time 6 days a week' Phil you haven't worked in years

[@locoslam]

Big ups to you dude! Keep doing what you do. And you have a great voice!

[@error_404.69]

I too fell in a similar boat. I got into lolcows through dtrh around 2016-17 and I remember watching the one about Phil and thinking he was kind of an asshole. Eventually the KZbin algorithm worked its magic and started to recommend detractor channels like Theo and Tevin and the rest is history.

[@sgt.chad304tharmored7]

Very informative doc series thank you for the pahsitive content sir

[@providence066]

You're doing god's work, b. I wish you continued success with your craft - you've found something clearly talented at and improving over time... unlike, well, you know.

[@dre3k78]

I first heard of DSP on a twitch FGC stream mainly via Jaha in chat loooong ago. Never really gave it much thought until i randomly got a DSP detractor video recommended to me on KZbin. And wow the lore was too strong to resist. I knew he was associated with the FGC in the past so i wanted to know a bit more about what Jaha would always go on about him being a scumbag. I had no clue how bad it was...and still is...its just like a never ending train wreck. As for you Mortis you make excellent content and im always looking forward to more from you man. Keep up the great work and do what you enjoy!

[@Vergil666.]

I remember feeling the same way about DSP when I discovered him. I felt bad for him like "so he's bad at video games and he asks for donations and tips. Don't all KZbinrs do that in someway? Asking for a sub, or for you to buy their merchandise isn't that different from what Phil is doing" I didn't understand why he was hated. Then I watched down the rabbit hole. I eventually got into "it's a gundom" by watching his DSP videos. Which got me into Tevin. And now here we are members of the detractor community.

[@pilgrimoftheworld]

If dsp talked to people face to face the way he talks to his chat on stream, he would get the shit kicked out of him.

[@visible7044]

you are very cool my friend. thanks for being a inspiration to all to chase their desires.

[@MundaneDave]

I wasn't a fan or anything, either. I hear those origin stories a lot. I was a fan of call center scammers getting f-ed with, and the YT algorithm gods pointed me at Phil 6 years ago. I **think** Tevin was my first exposure. Anyways, dood, I think you've made the most pertinent, fun, interesting, variety, unique documentary series on DSP

[@_sudz]

X you are the man and im happy to have been here since the dsp early content you the man homie, ps. still waiting on that red dead 2 gameplay. TROLL

[@RipTheJackR]

Yup, wouldnt know of DSP if not for sweet Jim. God bless his soul.

[@lawlessx9]

I think most people (including myself) fucking hate the sound of their voice..

[@1MeanOrange]

Nothing wrong with your voice bro that's a voice for radio.

[@timokuusela2622]

nice clean cool story i like it

[@Narutofreak155]

The cod wanting to be a pro sniper had me rolling because at one point or another that was me as well and being a tryhard hated by everyone in the lobby is so spot on 😂😂! As for me I randomly seen the clip of vrchat and dsp wanting to hit an 11yr old lol

[@blahblahblahbloohblah]

Y'know about DSP's rant at about 1:30, it is pretty funny when you put it that way, I didn't think it was before lol

[@kyraiki80]

Damn near everybody hates the sound of their own voice played back

[@Exmachinagamma]

For me, PewDiePie reacted to the Keemstar part; that's how I found out about DSP. Fast forward to the end of 2019 and the pandemic, and I see vids from Soma Julius Cruz, Mighty d, Snort Burnell, and lo and behold, DSP still was on twitch. The Rabbit hole vid sealed it, and now I'm a detractor.

[@generalgk]

Phil stopping the stream to call his viewers pieces of shit for typing lmao in his chat is just insane. He always says “I want to do a laid back stream where people can come to have fun” and then he berates people for laughing. Unreal.

[@generalgk]

@MetaphMIDI No kidding

[@jasonalmendra3823]

Welcome to the club.

[@obiwanshinobi87]

Imagine working a 9 to 5 job.. coming home and watch some streams to relax.. and you see this guy begging for money so he can get something on his "day off"

[@ViperNakajima]

Phil and Dale both need to be exposed for the horrible, insane, terrible people they are. It would be negligible if they didn't have a following but the worst thing they do, is make other kids and people think this is an acceptable way to behave, so keep up the good work

[@dizzle1119]

If he were actually working full time, 6 days per week, he MIGHT have an argument here. ....but he whines about video games online. That's not working full time.

[@bloodgodalucard4769]

[@UST817]

4:40 the story of DSP’s life 😂

[@probablysomeone]

1:18 I think what really is annoying is that he keeps insisting that his wife & a cat count as a family. He makes it sound like he had like 3 kids or some sht.

[@Kenny_F91]

If anyone ever makes a religion, DSP could easily inspire a Lucifer-like figure. The detractors would all be saints and prophets.

[@dylansmith5206]

I actually imagine the Detractors would be The Angles And Heavenly saints that cast DSP Lucifer down from KZbin Gamer Heaven (Who do you think would be up there in Heaven if their are KZbin gamers in Heaven that accepted Jesus as their savior)! Since Lucifer (Aka...... Satan) was an utter jackass in every sense of the word (At Least DSP isn't as evil or malicious as Satan himself) and did get removed from Heaven! If anything! DSP would be the Anti-Christ like Figure as opposed to the Heavenly God figure! But what do I of all people know? That said. Have a great day and God bless!

[@zionistjew2050]

Read a Bible

[@jagtaggart936]

I only knew of DSP through the fgc stuff and didn't hate him. I mean I knew he acted like an asshat, but I just chalked it up to him playing a heel and being competitive. I even got my first stick (Hori RAP 3) after watching him review it. What made me be a 'tractor was not the fappening, or the salt (it was entertaining, a positive imo) but the constant begging and preying upon the good will of people, and that entitlement.

[@OathKeeperRiku07]

I tihnk it helps we want more people to talk of DSP and find their own footing, expect other low cow communities where they'll hate you for joining the bandwagon or the slight infighting they have to others. I don't like how I sound either, but I still do videos with my voice. It helps we don't want another SOK, a group doing shady things to be the only ones who make DSP content monetized, or Mannix, who showed his true colors in what content he makes and paywalls his DSP content. people do burn themselves out fast, with Robyn and Zephpr and LSB, others use reacting to DSP video to springboard into other things as well.

[@johnnychav1556]

Loved the series.

[@johnnietheultimate]

I never liked DSP at all. My best friend introduced me to a TIHYDP with Ratchet and Clank. From there, I decided to check more videos on TIHYDPs and other content that was made to make fun of phil. Then that's where I was watching other detractor videos because I tried watching phil's video and I was completely bored. I am so glad I saw your channel and other detractor channels starting to grow each day.

[@riyoszu]

W video thank you Mortis

I remember there was a video by That Spooky Reading called "The Worst KZbinr Ever." It was (unsurprisingly) about Darksy. Interestingly, It was uploaded two or three years before Dave was caught gooning on livestream. Goes to show ya people hated this guy way even before then.

[@RobAreviews]

[@ksen97]

Hahahahahahah yes I’m immortalized in DSP lore

[@Sir_Spimp]

Great video man. FYI, your thumbnail should say “Becoming a Detractor” instead of “an” it reads really awkward with “an”.

[@SquealingPig1651]

I remember back when youtube first came out (I'm younger then phil by 6 years), and I remember when I kept seeing DSP videos pop up. He's not wrong about being the first of the big playthrough/walkthrough channels, sort of, but it didn't take long for me to be annoyed by his personality as I know someone that's like him in real life. Narcissists are human garbage. Anyway, yeah I got REAL sick of seeing his videos, because he pumped out tons of them every day, all the quality of garbage, and I slowly stopped paying attention to him. I don't know why, but about 2 years ago I decided to look up and see what happened to him, and well, I can't say I was surprised. One thing I can say, never feel bad for the pig, he made these choices. Also big ups and congrats on your channel
