Brad and Vinny talking about the DS2 strategy guide in this video is the first time I ever heard about it. Looked at the amazon page, cancelled my preorder. There's no point in getting it day 1 to take part in the internet's discovery of the game if they just dump all the info into a book on release day. Might as well wait for the PC version or a steam sale, even.

It's no different from the first Dark Souls then, it had a strategy guide from the get-go.

Man that Old Hero boss fight killed me a little bit inside. I didn't have the thief ring and it took me like 40 tries to kill him. I didn't have any trouble with any of the other bosses in this game.

Twenty hours in and Brad never once took a bunch of weapons to the blacksmith to see what he could upgrade with that mass of stones.

The part when Vinny asks Brad if he would review Dark Souls 2 is funny... I'm glad Brad says that he isn't qualified to review it... I couldn't agree more... He hasn't even beaten the 1st or second one, and only got through Demon's Souls because of this stream... I really like Brad, but watching him play this game makes me realize why people say he sucks at games.

When Vinny said "bang my head against it" I immediately thought of the fucking chocobo race from FFX and then Brad said it two seconds after and I lost my shit.

I got that Lulu ultimate weapon- I found a small circle that I could run in, over and over, and lightning struck the same place in the circle every single time. I got all of the weapons except Wakka's, because Blitzball.

I can’t believe they didn’t think to swing that great big bloody explosion sword at the lizards. Seems so obvious. Now I know, reading over the comments here, that it doesn’t do much damage to them and isn’t really effective but still. It would have been the first thing I tried after seeing what that sword does.

You know, as I sit here watching this in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic (hopefully that turns out OK future duders), it's both funny and slightly disturbing to watch Brad do what everyone does (lets be honest), and try and grab items that he doesn't need and will never use, just because he can. Chasing lizards, fighting the Old King; all terrible ideas.

But it's ok, we've all done it. Take care everyone.
