[RealCowboyWayne2]

That Nintendo t-shirt is bad ass

[NinjaCrazy87]

I come home and watch your walkthoughs and they always cheer me up :D

[NinjaCrazy87]

Been a fan since battlefield 1943 i was looking for someone who played it to see if it was good and found you even thought some people were bashing you on the video saying your an asshole and shit i found the video funny and have been watching your videos ever since. I still remember the day i watched that walkthough it was one the best times ever thank you for the memories phil and please dont ever stop making videos because you cheer me up if i have a shitty day i com home and

[RoadRunnerMusic]

new fan - been a fan since dragon age 2 i got a lot of respect for you

[RossMcc20]

Been a fan since your Heavy Rain playthrough best playthrough ever in my opinion keep up the great work Phil.

[NinjaLIAM1000]

Phil you really are a boss. Keep it up with the amazing videos. You really are an inspiration to me.

[torberen]

keep it up phil.

[LilSkittlezzz]

I came upon Phil about 2 years ago, by looking for a walkthrough of Resident Evil 5 Desperate Escape DLC. So glad i found that video :)

[TheRandom135]

Great video your awesome phil!

[SuperKnowledgeSponge]

Wow...what jerks man...

I can understand why though.

Not everyone is like that.

Good job, Phil. =)

[Plus4Gaming]

From the beginning! A DSP fan for life! Thanks for changing the gaming industry forever!

[byxClawz]

1 year - 7.5 k vids!

2 years - 15 k vids??

[hassmann2000]

Wah gwan Phil.

Keep going. You are awesome.

[ro19911]

I've been watching you for a year after I discovered you in a very funny opening of Halo Reach.

[GamesDigital]

DSP has kept me going through some tough time and I have to thank him for that and let him know I really apriciate his work.

[allchangesintime]

This was really interesting watching this video. I remember when he first said he wanted to do this full time, and I was one of those who thought it was better for him to find another job given how bad the economy was. But it looks like he made the right decision. Good on him, well done. And yes, you do have an international audience. I'm watching from Australia :)

[Melbester9]

I've sure enjoyed the ride. When my computer went down, I still wanted to watch your videos even though I'm busy these days but man I remember when I watched your street fighter 4 videos. That's how I began watching your vids. 2 years and counting. You're the best dude. I can't wait for your videos in the future.

[jubeininja69]

phil keep on fighting my bro. i've been watching you more than i watched tv lately. thanks for being real and expressing what you feel. This is what makes your videos so addicting. i think it's better than any reality shit on tv these days. it's amazing how many times people tried to shot you down but you always stayed positive and stand on your own two feet. it's been one hell of a ride this past year. here's to many more years.

[NinjaLIAM1000]

@jubeininja69 100% agreed. Lol I probably watch Phil then TV, too.

[TheAllthatremains94]

I've been watching since Red Faction: Guerrilla, and it has been a blast. There have been times when I was down, such as me being run over, shattering my patella, or tearing all of the tendons and ligaments in my right ankle, when all I could really do for a while was watch DSP's videos to keep my spirits up and to be entertained. Now that I've gotten over some of these things, I'm exercising WHILE watching his videos to get my strength back up to better levels.

Thank you DSP, you are amazing!!

[MrFNWO1]

1 awesome ass year alot of great vids and hopefully more to come.

[VirTuALxBeAst]

Phil got me hooked with the Heavy Rain playthrough. Keep 'em comin' big guy!

[masterbob46]

I found DSP when i was looking up opinions on the newest xbox 360 dashboard back in 2010. I found him really funny and noticed that he did a playthrough of 007: Blood Stone the next video over. I decided to watch it; laughed my ass off and was hooked ever since. Funny enough, i was talking to a friend about him, and it turned out he was a fan too.

Congratulations on a year of this as a full time job. I really admire the effort you have put into it and what you have accomplished. thanks again

[bassoonarama]

Good work Phil! I appreciate what you do because lord knows I could never be a full-time gamer. I love video games but I don't have the time/money/talent to play them all, only a select few. You are so hilarious and I'm happy that you've been able to turn your hobby into a job. Keep up the good work and hilarious videos, I can't wait for your AC Revelations playthrough!

[BoBe1233]

Theres army strong...

And theres hate army strong.

[BoBe1233]

Theres army strong...

Ever since the re5 dlc playthrough(2009 i think), most of my youtube time has been dedicated to watching your vids dsp. If im ever bored, i search your playthroughs or dsp tries it or ask the king. It does feel as if im sitting nxt to you and enjoying watching you play and makes jokes, rant, unboxing day, etc. Thanks a lot. If it wasnt for you, i wouldnt of played heavy rain, alice madness returns, ssf4, god of war 3, fallout new vegas and many others. Thank you again for opening my world of ga

[thegameneededme5]

I do miss the DSP Tries it and Cooking with the King videos, but I understand it wasn't meant to be a full-time thing. You've been so persistent to keep with this after all of the BS, you absolutely deserve all of the success you've received over the past year.

[MaggareN]

Been watching you since the Heavy Rain playthrough! I get upset by your complaining sometimes. But anyway, i keep watching. And i will definitely do that in the next year or two you will keep doing this. Cheers from Norway!

[funnyhousefilms]

@MaggareN sorry I accidently hit the thumbs down, but same here man.

So proud to have had some small part in Phil's journey. Fan since 2009, wishing Phil all the best for the future.

[DarkLocustSlayer]

I remember when it was 2009 and I first watched Phil's videos of Infamous and Prototype 2. I loved his videos and kept on watching them and soon subscribed right after making my account on youtube. To see him now and all that he has experienced, it makes me proud to be one of his fans.

I have been a fan since August 2009 (discovered you through your Bioshock playthrough), and was one of the first to sign up on your website. I have not been watching you recently, but this video has pretty much reminded me how awesome you are.

[piehead678]

Congrats. Been a great time these 3 years.

[Dagekk968]

Just look at his videos that he has previously done throughout his youtube career, your actually seeing DSP mature and develop as a person.

[TheUltimate052]

For me and most people, your greatest appeal is the way you can make things easy to understand.

This is a great skill that not a lot of people possess.

[awsomoo8000]

hey phil could you try to get on painkilleralready?

[ThatMrSomeGuy]

@DSPGaming Thanks for responding Phil! I'm a huge fan)

[Bulldog55055]

Phil, I have watch your videos back since you first started your DSP channel through blip.TV and back here to youtube. I have never commented on one videos yet because well i never comment on anyones video lol. But this video is full of such awesomeness and your a great person, I love your mental attitude and I just wanted to say thank you for allowing us to witness your entertainment all these years. Thank you Phil and keep it going

[Jyagos1]

I know you feel particular about S.978, but Protect IP is something even worse. You should look into that and comment as you see fit.

[awsom651]

FUCK YEAGH

[Jigshma]

Dear Phil,

I have followed you ever since i got my account. I love your videos no matter what. I love the way you support freedom of speech and action. You are the reason I started my youtube channel. I know they''re are a lot of games coming out but I think you might like these games: SBCG4AP, Sam and Max, Bully, and I hope you make a WWE '12 playthrough. I would love to see your reaction to all of the classic wrestlers and new modes.

Your loyal fan,

Jigshma

[Nintega10]

Followed when he wasn't that popular.

[NatsuSenou]

Love your videos bro.

[ThatMrSomeGuy]

Does anyone know the name of that book? (Along author if you know.) I'm interested in reading it.

[DSPGaming]

@ThatMrSomeGuy The Orb, contact TheAireaidLord (thats his youtube channel) as he's the author.

[alpha95X]

@DSPGaming Just throwing his out there, Phil. You should still get a real job. Just hear me out. Right now, as far as I know, all your income is based on views and the video game videos. If you get another job you now have 2 sources of income. Yes, the government will probably tax your income but still... With a real job and your DSPgaming job, if something goes wrong, like trolls coming after you again, you have a crutch to lean on. When something goes bad with one, you have the other.

[TheAireaidLord]

@ThatMrSomeGuy go to TheAireaidLord with .com after it. I tried posting the website up but youtube doesn't allow websites for whatever reason.

[TheAireaidLord]

@ThatMrSomeGuy Send me a message on my page if you're interested.  Phil will put up the website soon.

[GamingLimit]

I can easily say that I am a proud DSP fan, Phil is the best thing on youtube without a doubt, I have been on youtube since like 2006/2007 and DSP is my favorite subscription ever!

[Ninjaxzzz]

been following since hateful truth on halo odst WOOOOOOOOO I LOVE PHIL

[tomahawkboy0787]

LOL self proclaim KING King of sucking Big Fat Balls

[MrSealedninja]

@tomahawkboy0787 your one of the people hes talking about in his video who subscribe to just insult him why are you even on this video if you dont like him you truly have no life

[awsom651]

(you ass)

[princessfma595323484]

and the oscar goes to DSP

[malganus4]

u ren't hardcore gamer phill from skill point of view,but your comments ,and funny humour are so good u can watch it instead of b movie with some beer,i would watch more but run low on time.

[G2rant]

DSP IS THE BEST!!!!!

I LOVE HIS CONTENT!!!!

BEEN FOLLOWING U SINCE 20,000 subs on the original darksydephil channel

Keep it up

[DannyXD2010]

Phil, you proved that wrong, playing video games is a lot of fun and its not a waste of money becuase look at you!, you have a job that every gamer wishes they could have and the most important part, you get PAID for what you do. I want everyone to realize that Phil has impacted us all and we should feel grateful and honored that hes with us today. Lets us hope Phil will keep making us laugh and putting hateful truths years to come. Long live Darksydephil

[KidGamer]

DSP + SeaNanners Coop would be awesome

[DannyXD2010]

Phil you are an inspiration to not just gamers but as a person, you been knock down many times by companies and you been hated and mistreated any human has gone through, but becuase of the support of your fans, friends, and family, you never gave up, you stayed positive and you move on with your life. I have never thought it was possible playing video games can become a positive thing becuase many adults and parents see playing video games is a waste of time and money.

[epiccrazytime]

dead island vs mw2

[PivotMasterD2]

phil the king of dicks pussy and hate. LONG LIVE PHILLIP BURNEL. LONG LIVE THE KING.

[djquackquack]

It's wonderful that this has worked out for you (bar all of the distressing setbacks).

However, you never gave up - and it was worth it.

The haters can say what they want - but the bottom line is, you're doing what you love for a living.

[MrEBomb12]

Phil. You one of the toughest mother fuckers I know. You've been through a lot of shit yet you still pulled through and didn't give up. Never quite never give up. Long live the KING!

[ultimatespider17]

3 years being a fan of DSP and proud.

[awsom651]

thats RIGHT!

[castlekill]

Don't ever quit making videos Phil. We'll follow you till your grave. We are the DSP HATE army. Happy 1 year of Gaming to you!

[ManuscriptRaze]

People ask me, "Why do you waste so much on gaming?" if it makes me happy why is it a waste? if its my hobby and ive been doing it for over 17 years why is it a waste?

Keep doing your thing DSP! love the content that is provided from all your channels.

[pbbaka95]

dsp u have inspired me to stand to this asshole in high school and i kicked his ass though the cops had to get me off of him and he had a fractured rib while i was being accused of raping his girlfriend who now hjas hiv positive and being tested for aids and this is a fictionaly story dude u have made it to hell kicked satan's ass in street fighter 4 cod bodycount and mvc3 andkane and lynch 2 u sir dear phil ARE satan's pimp but then chuck norris would be pissed

[saberwingxl]

Phil, I've been watching your playthroughs ever since X-Men Origins: Wolverine and I never looked back. You are my source to all things gaming and opened up my eyes to videogames. You have been a true success story. I keep spreading the word about you and what you do and I hope you grow bigger, I know you will. Much love from New Jersey, Thanks

Well done DSP and thank you for what you do.

[Nitram316]

Been a fan of DSP since his Resident Evil 5 playthrough a couple of years ago. Keep it up, Phil. You are very entertaining.

[Austin566]

to be honest if you dont cross promote and do the things the big tubers do i dont think you will be able to grow as big as them

[Ratzmoonmopes]

Hey Phil, I am not sure if you are going to read this comment, because you get tons of comments on every video, but I have a (strange) question that I would like answered. I was thinking about coming to connecticut to see family. If I went to connecticut, could I... how do I put this... I would like to come... to your house to... meet you... I don't know If that has ever happened to you, where a fan visits your home, but I would like to meet in person. Please reply (I am not a stalker, I swear).

[PireasC]

Damn, time runs fast.. I still remember when DSP had the shit cam compared to this one, but back then it was great quality haha. The most interesting perioid was when we had to go to blip.tv to watch his videos - I kinda enjoyed it. Anyways, thanks for these years and I hope you will continue doing this. :) Keep on hatin', king!

[mrwebber65]

@PireasC Best times were when he used to do Friend request ridicule episodes. Will he ever do those?

[PireasC]

@mrwebber65 Damn, I totally forgot about them hahahaha. Even though it's unlikely for him to do those again, my hopes are high. All those typos and Phil making funny comments out of them hahaha.

[SP4CEmonkey7]
