AstralPhaser's original purpose was to upload Lets Plays of Philip playing various games to help him progress in overcoming RSI, and recording proved helpful in keeping his mind on something else other than RSI (hence the name change from ''RSIGamer'' to ''AstralPhaser''). An Oculus Rift game playthrough series was uploaded before the ''Gaming Through the Ages'' series.

=== '''Arch Linux Adventures''' ===

Philip made a channel in early 2014 called [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFkV1ZTArpBIeDu6FUl2guA Arch Linux Adventures], 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 ShiftOS more.

=== '''ShiftOS''' ===

Philip worked on ShiftOS, a game where you start with just a terminal and evolve it into a fully-functional graphical interface (like Arch Linux). However, he has stepped down from its development. From that point on, two new people were admins and developing ShiftOS, but later quit doing that (for currently unknown reasons), making the project officially inactive. ShiftOS also has its own [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoNbI1RyOMRyZye2_HLSy7w YouTube channel].
