Back then it seemed impossible because everything was in real time, with like 20 seconds of pause every second and voting it's not even something to be impressed about
I'd like to see a real-time recut without the pausing

How "twitch plays" works: First week of two every one is fucking around on it because it's new. Afterwards everyone but like 5 people stop caring. Those 5 people beat the game. Wow what fun
[QUOTE=Octopod;48786716]them beating a game like thag at all is pretty impressive, i mean to me. everybody was saying how impossible it was and how stupid of an idea it was.[/QUOTE] Well the reason everybody said they couldn't is because it was in real-time at the start. Heck, people agreeing that the game would never had been beaten, or even have any type of progress, without this pause mechanic only go to show that Dark Souls was a horrible choice for the TwitchPlays format to begin with!
