Dark Souls’ first boss, the Asylum Demon, has been defeated. Twitch Plays Dark Souls did it at last.
Sure, for regular players he’s just a tutorial obstacle. But for Twitch, stringing together enough hits to bring him down is an achievement for the ages. Those 2000 souls might be the most they can ever pull together.
Flabbergasted naysayers can take comfort, though; Polygon reports the stream host has introduced an intermittent pause feature to help things along. The game’s action is frozen for several seconds immediately after every action, during which time commands are tallied, with the most popular one executing when the game unfreezes.
Cheating? Maybe, but the pausing feature doesn’t seem to be in effect all the time, and Kotaku reckons it’s just a frame rate issue. If so, the massive should hope things don’t improve.

Thanks, kotaku
