A Different Way To Play Dark Souls Using Twitch


So we all know about the regular ‘Twitch Plays Dark Souls’ stream. It’s pretty ‘good’. If by ‘good’ you mean endlessly frustrating and frequently hilarious.

Veteran Dark Souls playing Lobos Jr is also doing a Twitch Plays Dark Souls stream. But his is a little different.

How do I even explain this?

Look at it this way: Lobos Jr is playing Dark Souls. But instead of using the game itself, he playing and watching his OWN TWITCH STREAM.

What does this mean? Well, it means he’s sort of on a delay, because Twitch is always on a delay. The game he is playing is literally on a 2 second lag.

Okay, so this sounds easy enough. But imagine, really imagine trying to play a game of Dark Souls that is two second behind the one you are actually playing. Now imagine trying to fight, say, Ornstein & Smough? YOU HAVEN’T EVEN SEEN THE THING YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO YET!

Jesus. This is making my head hurt just thinking about it. Lobos Jr is a goddamn genius.
