While I agree that a more structured schedule might be helpful, Brad probably just wants to finish up Demon's Souls quickly so he's not juggling it with DS2.
How's the feature chugging along, anyway? Any chance he'll finish it soon? After thoroughly enjoying his Spelunkin', I couldn't really get into Bindin'. Game is fun to play, but not that interesting to watch imo.

His Crystal Lizard mania episodes has inspired me to dub that the new real "Pulling a Brad".
I'd put money on that.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
For a man who talks about finishing DS today, Brad sure spends a lot of time not trying to make any progress. Not that he's wasting time or so, but I doubt he'll be able to finish the game today.
The game never ends.

The Nexus has bound his soul!
Well he's beaten the heart twice, so I'd expect 2 or 3 more playthroughs then onto Wrath of the Lamb

Oh Brad xD

Ha ha. I was staring at that Warding spell waiting for that to happen.
I'm just a bit confused at the preparation he's doing. He's been strong enough to tackle the entirety of the game since fairly early on. Any troublesome situation he's been in has had nothing to do with the strength of his weapon or armour.

I like it when Brad is super wrong about something, but he still is all "in your face internet!"

How is Breaking Brad comparing to Load Our Last Souls? I really enjoyed LOLS but I wasn't digging Demon's Souls after the first two or three episodes so I stopped watching.
Breaking Brad is great when Brad is actually making progress, but >50% of the time is spent humming and hawing in menus and considering his options. For that reason, and perhaps being a bit harsh, in comparison to LOLS it can be quite boring.

It's been okay, but the thing I really liked about LOLS was Ian's more extensive knowledge of the game/series, and Vinny being Vinny when he played.
Brad has been fine, but it's just missing that little extra something I felt the LOLS had.
There's no Rorie so it's worse.
I guess we can conclude Brad isn't Batman.

Wow I hoped he would be closer to finishing the game. Maybe another stream tomorrow?
They're doing their poster signing stream so probably not.
But yeah there's no way he finishes this today.
Brad protecting Ostrava is the cause of his downfall!

Brad spending 15 minutes trying to decide if he wants to wear Fluted leggings is hell in video form.

Brad is never killing Doran, calling it here.

Doran entirely optional and pretty much the hardest single enemy in the game. Counting bosses. He doesn't have a hard pattern to learn, he's just incredibly punishing.
Sort of reminds me of the Havel fight in dark souls except he's way faster

Can we change "Pulling a Brad" so it now means "Going out of your way to get a basically pointless Collectable"?
Well the way I see it, he's putting points into the wrong stats. I mean it's his playthrough and that's fine but for his current build, it benefits from high damage and agility. Right now he simply doesn't do enough damage. The crescent falchion is great as long as you're buffing the shit out of it with Magic and for whatever reason he stopped putting points into that.
So right now he's fighting an enemy that can basically one-shot without his shield and instantly break his guard with the shield. To counteract that he essentially has to undo every single stat choice he's made up to this point and change his build completely and that will take hours of grinding.
He can beat Doran eventually, he just needs to be better at dodging get a better understanding over the attack patterns. It'll just be really tedious.

He could've finished game today easily.
Instead he's going to make absolutely no progress.
