YouTube user unknownphyzics hit the nail on the head with his reaction to this trailer:

I used to be a fan, now I'm an air conditioner.

Don't worry though, it'll probably run decent after 10 patches.

Dark Souls was just gifted a stellar spicy wings challenge promo event in support of the upcoming April release of Dark Souls 3 . The British restaurant chain, bizarrely enough named MEATliquor, set simple enough terms for all fans of wings or the game that are courageous enough to enter:

Throw back 20 wings that are sign-the-waiver-spicy-scale-worthy faster than anyone else, and win a PS4 and Dark Souls 3 .

Dark Souls boss battles in a nutshell

With over 900 deaths and and over a month spent on the endeavor, the community of Twitch has vanquished Gwyn, thus beating Dark Souls.

It took them a while to figure out. For a very long while, it looked like this:



But, as Kotaku details, the community eventually found a system that works:

After a few days of fumbling around, it was decided to change the rules of the game or call it quits. In some circles, this disqualified Twitch Plays Dark Souls from being a legitimate playthrough; it subverted the way Dark Souls plays. They essentially changed it from a 3D action game into a turn-based affair.

Was it cheating? Sure. Was it the only way for Twitch Plays Dark Souls to move forward? Probably. Does that mean their achievements are meaningless? No.

Soon enough, they beat the Asylum Demon.

A little later, they beat the game's hardest boss, Orstein and Smough. With O&S slaughtered, it seemed a matter of time until they'd actually beat the game.

That time, as it turned out, was on Saturday. 43 days, eight hours, 14 minutes, and 23 seconds after attempting the nearly impossible, Twitch Plays Dark Souls was able to finally say they'd beaten Dark Souls. They only died 904 times, too!

Naturally, they are already on Dark Souls 2 and it's just as interminable to watch.

Which you can do right here.
