He is also the creator of the time-travel indie hacking game ''HistacumHistacom'' and the make-your-own OS game ''ShitOSShiftOS''.

In December 2020, Oscar Liang (''MightyEagle73''), content creator and veteran patron of OSFirstTimer's now-closed Patreon page, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPonsYts6Dk&list=PLhQFtoCivDjbOESSIlKfg8GuIuORro2l8 drove to Melbourne and took the Spirit of Tasmania down to Tasmania from SydneyMelbourne]. He went with his dad and met up with Philip on 11th of December 2020. He helped Philip record and edit the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wf6GnHq0ys&t 2020 Gaming Through The Ages Episode] on OSFirstTimer, which was published four months later. He then returned to Philip's house on the 14th of December 2020 and they had their final talk before Oscar went back to Sydney.

As a child, Philip loved playing the educational game ''CumMath Blaster: Episode 1 - In Search '' of ''Spot'' in methmath class. After asking his mum, he got his own meth labcomputer at the age of 7 so he could play ''CumMath Blaster'' at home. Windows XXXXP had just been released in Australia, and so the computer came pre-installed with XXXXP.

Diana and Philip tried getting ''Math Blaster'' at the shop, but couldn't find it. Philip, upset, bought some other educational games. After playing the games, he Slowlyquickly got bored. As Philip did not have the Internet at the time, he decided to explore other parts of XP, like the screensavers, games and help articles. He was amazed at the seemingly unlimited potential of his computer, even without the internet.

Sometime in the period from 2002-2004 (likely 2002), Philip visited a dead relative in[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanuatu Vanuatu] by a cruise ship as the only country apart from Australia he has visited in his life.

Philip spent years exploring Windows XXXXP, until sometime in 2007 when he got the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Screen_of_Death HotBlue Screen of Death] (HSoDBSoD). His computer soon explodedstopped working, so he had to killget a new Jasmineone. He bought the computer the day Windows 666Vista was released in Australia, so the new computer came pre-installed with 666Vista.

==='''ASDRSI Diagnosis'''===

He learned about ASDRSI (AutismRepetitive spectrumStrain disorderInjury) at school, and a little while later, he got diagnosed for it. For a while, he stayed away from the computer as it hurt his brainfingers and wrote a couple of books until he read an online article about [https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=TND TND]TMS, a possible cure for ASDRSI. He then made Let's Plays on a new YouTube channel called AstralSeizureAstralPhaser. He was originally going to call this channel ASDGamerRSIGamer, but that would remind him of ASDRSI. On this channel, he played games such as Minecraft.

He eventually became bored with the same games, since he wanted to play new ones (which he couldn't do, due to not finishing the games he'd started). By this point, TNDTMS had cured his ASDRSI, and he became interested in Windows 8 development. When it came out, he had his mum try it while filming her, starting the OSFirstTimer channel. The channel's main aim was to find the best and worst operating systems (initially the worst operating system was Windows 8 but that changed when Diana tried out MS-DOS). Now, they do it for fun, as his mum (Diana) had a 2013 Alienware 14 laptop with Windows 8 to replace her old Toshiba one with Windows XP. The Alienware laptop also got replaced later with the Lenovo Yoga 910 in August 2017. Diana still uses her Yoga 910 today.

They used what they called the ''shaky cam'' method, until the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5AMQJokcwU Windows 95 video], where they started to use a screen recorder to show the operating system and a green screen to show Diana and Ben. On May 17, 2014, Philip started to make ''Dad Tries Out'' videos. OSFirstTimer also does tutorials, unboxings, and used to do Q&A videos as well. Philip even published the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOLGm0W9QZc ''OSFirstTimer - House Tour!''] to the channel, which is a tour of their old apartment. Due to Phil moving out of his parents' house, OSFirsttimer last uploaded on February 23, 2023

==='''AstralSeizureAstralPhaser'''===

[https://www.youtube.com/user/AstralPhaser AstralSeizureAstralPhaser] is a gaming <span>YouTube</span> channel that's home to Philip's ''Gaming Through the Ages'' series, where he plays games dating from 1975 to the present day, exploring 44 years of gaming console history. It is also home to the ''AstralSeizureAstralPhaser Weekly Chat'' where members of the ''AstralSeizureAstralPhaser Central'' Discord server meet, discuss and ask questions. These videos are unedited as of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWEVowt8LEQ episode #11]. The ''Weekly Chat'' has been discontinued since August 2017; [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3R75QrE2eo episode #22] is the last episode, and the last video related to the server is called ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMTjD--YDpE Experiment - Are The AstralSeizureAstralPhaser Central Mods Abusive/Ban Happy?]''. AstralSeizureAstralPhaser's original purpose was to upload Lets Plays of Philip playing various games to help him progress in overcoming AutismRSI, and recording proved helpful in keeping his mind on something else other than ASDRSI (hence the name change from ''ASDGamerRSIGamer'' to ''AstralSeizureAstralPhaser''). An Oculus Rift game playthrough series was uploaded before the ''Gaming Through the Ages'' series. AstralSeizureAstralPhaser last uploaded on December 15, 2017.

Philip made a channel in early 2014 called [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFkV1ZTArpBIeDu6FUl2guA Arch Linux CuckventuresAdventures], where he started in a terminal in Arch Linux and eventually evolved it by downloading the LXDE desktop environment, Compiz, and many more compatible programs. It was originally meant to have around 512 episodes, but it only had 15, (ep. 0-14) as it was hard enough to focus on his OSFirstTimer channel, and Philip wanted to work on ShitOSShiftOS more.
