I want to make fun of this game, but it occurred to me that the gameplay is almost identical top what I've been doing in Elite: Dangerous - driving around dropping off cargo to different destinations.

To be honest I adored the part between Oslo and Bergen off course I've never been there. I like it as much as the Alps. I concur though Jutland is boring.

Let's say my driving is a little imprecise on small roads. 
This in turn becomes costly.

Plenty people tried the game, thinking it's a joke and came away really liking it. I can pleasantly zone out during the game while watching a podcast or YouTube stuff on the side, or listen to an audio book. It's really relaxing.

I think I'm nearly finished valkyria chronicles.
Pretty fun small squad based strategic rpg set in a sort of fantasy ww2.

It's good clean family fun also, even though one sometime has to revert to an older savegame when the kids crash the newly purchased truck

I just went and cleaned up my HD of games which I barely touched, but that I left installed just because some time I might get to seriously play them.

I just freed 150 Gb

Twitch plays Dark Souls. Previously, someone made a script where people could play a game by entering commands in chat. The first game played that way to completion on Twitch was Pokemon. Then a Metal Gear game.

Now the crowd mind is playing Dark Souls, which is a bit ambitious, I think.

17 hours in, they haven't made it out of the tutorial area yet: http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplaysdark

1 Day, 7 Hours in, they've made no progress The viewer numbers are down to a third of what it first was. My prediction: the group will boil down to a handful of viewers who will be able to coordinate enough to actually get moving.

Not sure how the delay between stream and chat is going to work out in a game like this that requires reactions within fractions of a second (blocking/dodging/parrying an attack for example) or you die almost immediately.

*checks again* They managed to get back into character creation.

I watched a bit of the Pokémon playthrough and it was an hilarious sight, I can't imagine it working one bit for Dark Souls

[Grey Fox]

I watched for about 10 minutes yesterday (around 19h) and all they did was reload to the last save over & over.

[Syt]

They made it back into the game, but yeah, they still haven't made it past the first bonfire.

If they manage to uninstall the game: they win.

About 4 days in, doesn't look like they made any significant progress (still in tutorial area, still in the pool that the viewers now worship and praise).
