Broken.

EDIT: Brad finds a summon sign just before one of the hardest sections of the game (and hardest bosses) and ignores it, and continues to ignore it when he gets invaded. P.S., Brad, you are bad at games.

Just play offline. This invading garbage is annoying. Morons trying to get their 15 minutes of fame and make the stream all about them.

Having not played the game, and having not finished this video yet, is Brad maybe under leveled for this boss? maybe more health or strength would mean not dying in one hit? just some thoughts

It's a puzzle boss. If you played Dark Souls instead then its comparable to the Bed of Chaos.

@hansolol: Getting headbutt stunned off a ledge was by far the best part of this entire series so far. So I say continue playing online!

@xbob42: I just hate how people think the world revolves around them. Some people go through life thinking, "how can I make this all about me?" It's like when you watch wrestling and you see all the douchebags in the front few rows stand up and hold out their arms and gesture when they think the camera is on them as if to say, "the main event is right here, baby! You all came to see me, right? Well here you go. You know the thing you paid to see? Fuck that. I'm the real attraction."

I want a recap video once this feature is over, not of deaths or boss kills, but of every time Brad misses a lizard.

man, the one single thing that annoys me so much in this otherwise wonderful feature is Brad's never ending stressing out about missing content. Like theres no way that brad is going to see anywhere near all of the content, just fucking forget about it and deal with whatever you get.

*edit*

also wtf is up with brad not giving up the crescent moon grass when its so horrible

People call him an asshole, but I call him a hero. He gave Brad ample opportunity to kill him, then ended his misery with style and grace.. wop wop wop wop *fall*

Suggestion: once this series concludes, someone needs to make a supercut of all the times Brad encountered crystal lizards.

Summoning people is not very fun for a stream. Was pretty boring when Vinny did it.

My favorite part is when Brad ignores healing, repeatedly ignores healing and then wonders why he dies easy.

Oh man, I love how Brad is slowly descending into madness hearing crystal lizards everywhere, I like to think they haunt him when he's at home aswell and he suddenly goes, shhhh.......shhhhh.. I think I hear something.

Also the gritted teeth Grrrrrrrrr gets me every time

I think it'd be fairly frustrating if I could only play Demon's Souls 2 hours per week, add to that a huge crowd of fans and critiques alike, pecking, laughing and cheering at my every move. I'm surprised Brad isn't broken by now, and I commend the gusto of which he keeps assailing this insane game with.

Also the hat stuff was awesome, Vinny's trolling surpasses that of any invading phantom.

You know what was going on in those wagons. Sex. Filthy crystal lizard sex. And they have to copulate a lot to save their population, from that madman going around killing their friends and families.

Oh, and Brad's chanting of "Don't believe his lies" sounds like a real sad country song.

@aegon: That guy was a pro, not many people knew about the headbutt stunlock when I played Demon's Souls. Usually it's useless because it does no damage, but it's application here was hilarious!

so he is bad at the game because he ignores the summon, also it is definalty not the hardest boss.
but if that makes him bad for choosing to do it alone and succeed then i know what you want

@humanity: Yeah, if Brad had just mashed attack like he normally does, he would have killed him. I stopped watching these around part 3 because Brad is super boring to watch, but I'm glad I peeked at this one.
