You know what I would like to see? I'd like to see someone make sort of the opposite of a TIHYDP, like actual highlights of Phil being good at the game, being legitimately funny, and getting the best of the trolls when they try to bait him. I'm honestly curious about whether or not that would be possible. If someone took the time to comb through one of his playthroughs (and God help that person), filtering out all the begging and toxicity and hours and hours of dead air, could they even find enough footage to make a video that showed Phil's positive aspects?

The first thing that comes to my mind as an actual highlight of Phil being good at the game is when he managed to beat Mz. Ruby on his first try (though he was damaged by Mz. Ruby's shockwave when he got to her the first time around, and in an uncommon example of Phil actually experiencing a game bug, stayed under the water after being damaged until he jumped up to the water's surface) during his first playthrough of Sly Cooper. The second time around however, he died once to Mz. Ruby.

He is also f***ing awful at DK64. Trying to savestate through a mini game and rushing through something that looks like a maza, but hurts you when you touch a wall. Is angry at the devs (shocker) and says that the only way to get through it is by abusing savestates.

And the cherry on top? He then started s***ting on the people nominating thr game, saying they are making him suffer through it. King of Retro indeed.

And right now, he has been doing the Beaver Bother minigame in Creepy Castle for over a hour and he still hasn't won yet.

Yep, something weird is going on. I think it might be the first time (aside from Character Battles and other contests) since I joined this site in June 2007 (and since I started lurking the site in 2006) that there hasn't been a poll of the day on the front page.

The Donkey Kong 64 stream was god f***ing awful. For some reason, Phil feels the need to 100% the game, while being awful at it. What resulted was an epic b****fest and I am genuinely surprised he hasn't ragequited the game yet.

And this is before he's even gotten to Beaver Bother or the rotating ice maze section in Crystal Caves. If he's already b****ing before that, imagine how much he'll b**** when he gets to those parts of the game.
