With two guys whacking him it seemed like he was basically stunned before he could attack. Dan did a good job dodging a couple blows though.

That's right. Once installed it'll add itself to your Windows environment variables, so just open a command prompt and type:
Code:
livestreamer twitch.tv/danryckert bestThe 'best' part means you want the best stream available but you can also replace that with 'worst' 'mobile' 'low' 'high' etc (unpartnered streams only have one, so you'll get that). VLC should launch and play the stream.
And to increase your VLC buffer http://www.groovypost.com/howto/change-vlc-streaming-buffer/

I was really hoping that invader was Potato Marshal.

The theory is that everytime a GB duder gets invaded on camera that it's actually Jeff invading them, that was the scuttlebutt when Breaking Brad was a thing.

Oh man, I forgot about Dark Souls 1's corpse physics, somehow.
Dan's stream is bringing back so many memories. What a game. The American flag needs to go.

Why is the flag there anyway, is it supposed to cover something he doesn't want show or is it just Dan being Dan?

Thanks for all the help everyone. Dan is now someone playing without buffering, and I feel like I have cheated the Internet!

Dan fighting an enemy that he already killed. Oh so Dan.
Dan being Dan, I think.

I saw Dan "kill" the Black Knight and I am happy!

Thought he might be trying to cover Steam notifications but I don't think they pop up in that corner for DS.

It was tens of hours into Dark Souls before I really got into locking on to my enemies.
By default it's the bottom right corner. Some games switch it if the UI is there, but DS' port is so barebones that I doubt they cared.
Dan could've easily turned off notifications entirely before starting, though.

When I finally killed that Knight it dropped the Greatsword, which I then used to power through the game.

Wait, how did he kill the black knight?

Starting as a Deprived, I used the starting club in 95% of my playtime.
God-tier weapon.
Dan was sitting under the bridge (before the rats and two soldiers), planning how to kill the Knight. He didn't notice the Knight fall off the edge chasing him until a moment later.

Yup, that's what I've been watching. #ALLOFMYDONATIONS.

How close is Patrick, really? He's got at least another third or a quarter of that stage left.
I've been staunchly #TeamScoops, but even I begin to doubt.

He is probbaly at the last 20% of content, but it is the most convoluted part of the game to get through. Even if Patrick continuously reaches the new parts of the level during the runs he will die countless times figuring stuff out, which will keep chipping away at his allotted time. I don't think he will make it. He might see the flag pole a few times, but touching it is a puzzle in itself (

I had to watch the video of a completed run of this stage. Patrick's made a remarkable amount of progress, but that last section is a bastard, and he might just not have enough time to brute force his way through it.
Dark Souls hardcore fans are kinda funny in that they whine if someone doesn't play or appreciate Dark Souls, but then if someone does play it, they have a litany of reasons for why they're playing it wrong.
"Don't use magic, that's for babies!"
"Don't get the drake sword, that's for babies!"
"Don't summon on bosses, that's for babies!"
"Don't use a wiki or a message board to suss out help on how to properly interact with all the mechanics of this game that go barely explained! It's for babies!"
Like, I love Dark Souls. It's a really great game. But especially for a person of some note playing it like Brad or Dan or Youtube's Patrick Klepek, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

Livestreamer is great, works with more than twitch too. And if you're on a laptop, the battery savings are huge.
enjoy your new streaming experience c: it's a godsend on my linux laptop
This is by far the worst part of Dark Souls streams. I know twitch in general is pretty bad when it comes to backseat gaming, but I've never seen anything like souls streams.
"Can you believe he didn't get that ring? It was right there, behind the barrel under the stairs past the pit of fire on that side of the wall you don't really see from the main path after you kill the eight soldiers! He walked right past it!"
While I think you can get a better appreciation of Dark Souls (and the Souls series in general) treating it this way, as I think the discovery and trial-and-error are part of the experience, I wouldn't fault anyone that doesn't want to put up with that.
The more hardcore fans could probably do with explaining this mentality a little better, but I share the sentiment.

Patrick is live!
Also thanks for the Livestreamer recommendation.
Done a little reading into it, and if you use the "-o [filename].mp4" option and then open that file in VLC, you can watch live whilst downloading the stream and also pause and rewind!

People know that game so well at this point that they forget how it was to play it for the first time, so you get a lot of "IT'S SO OBVIOUS!!!!" when it really isn't to anyone who hasn't played the game.
Yeah, true. I'll admit I can that way I'm sure when watching people play games I know in and out.
Btw Myggen, every time I see your avatar I think for a split second that it's Jeff posting in the thread. Posting angrily, staring into my soul.

Yeah it's hard to remember but I wouldn't wanna watch ME play the game first time through. Watch me run in a circle around this room 3 times to make sure I didn't miss anything!
The first time is always the best, people should let the player experience without these annoyances.
and yess.
