He eventually became bored with the games and since TMS cured his RSI, he became interested in Windows 8 development, and when it came out, he had his mum try it, alas, the OSFirstTimer channel began. 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) now hashad a Windows 8, (Now upgraded to Windows 10) laptop to replace her old Toshiba Windows XP one. 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/Ben.

A video showing Phil doing a trick is released and it is soon followed by a video explaining how the trick works. howeverHowever, viewers must reenact the trick themselves in a video and link it to Phil's video, before the trick is revealed on his channel. If a trick video reaches 100,000 views and still hasn't been solved, then Phil will release hints and snippets of attempted submissions to help viewers figure out exactly what happened in the trick.

Phillip made 13 episodes of Let's Explore in his area but due to the distance required to reach episode starting points Phil ended his personal letLet's exploreExplore videos and transferred the channel to someone else, however, it wasn't the end of Let's Explore as the channel had become quite popular and others began making their own Let's Explore Channels, which is when the Let's Explore Community Hub came around.

A dedicated Discord server was created under the same name to allow for other "let's explorers" to meet and discuss.

At one point in 2013 and early 2014, he had a forum on Freeforums for the OSFT channel, but constant DDoS attacks from MalwareUp starting in February 2014 caused him to shut down the forum in April. The successor of this forum is currently http://tech-talk.ml.Techtalk, which was also eventually replaced with the 'Astral Phaser Central' server on Discord.[[Category:Cast]]
