"He takes more damage if you hit him in the Gwyndolin" HOW DID NOBODY LAUGH?? HAVE THEY NEVER PLAYED DARK SOULS?????

tough crowd. i actually enjoyed his jokes

Did anyone else think it was cute when he got a donation from his wife and smiled when he heard her username

Me: So this is the first boss, I'm going to do one R1, panic, four circles to roll at random around the arena. Then you'll see this huge wind up for his attack? Well my brain will stop working at this point so I"m going to forget how to dodge and walk right into it. When he does the same move again next, I'll drink my estus flask timing it to frame perfectly get hit right before the heal completes, negating any heal I would get from it. Now to end the fight, I'll dodge, dodge, dodge and...perfect, right off the arena I go.

I like the runs where they methodically go over what they are doing

“This skip has never been shown at a gdq” **No Signal**

I always crack up when a runner does really solid commentary on their own run, in real time. That is two, very distinctly different set of skills being performed at a very high level at the exact same time by one person. That was this run. Actually Spacey was also doing crowd control as well, letting them know when it was OK to clap, read donations, etc. That is taking in and responding to a whole lot of stimuli happening right there.

Runs that don't have a couch are usually pretty lame, but this guy is entertaining, amazed that he can commentate like that and still play well.

I feel bad because the hype for Bloodborne right after this run really brought down how much people cared for this run. Great run, one of the best from the event by far. Sad to see more people caring about Bloodborne being next rather than the run at hand, though.

I never thought there was such a thing as a “casual” dark souls player until I watched this guy call out his hits on Gundyr before he even walked into the room.

Haha this guy has ice in his veins, it's impressive how calm he stays pretty much this entire run.

I'm 12 hours into my first playthrough and this guy overtook me in 17 minutes.

I'm an hour in and the fact that he has half a million souls is giving me intense anxiety.

49:00 "The voice acting's good..." *Enemy's unholy screeching*

I just started playing dark souls 3 for the first time last week. I've been playing for about eight hours. Glad to see I'm nine minutes in.

This was the best run. The commentary was extremely entertaining, his cool demeanor while playing was incredible. More spacey1_ hype! Seriously a pro. Great run man.

I love how he explains everything, for both veterans and people who haven't played the game.

Holy crap, from all the AGDQ dark soul's runs this has to be one of the most impressive

Execution-wise, one of the best runs of the event and the best run of DS III specifically at a GDQ. Everything was done super well and the solo commentary was cool and calm.

I was so impressed with the death cam run in the painted world. I think my jaw hit the floor from how smooth that was.

This video, speedrun, and Spacy definitely deserve more views. I’m surprised this has such low views as of this time in comparison to the other GDQ 2019 runs. Nice run and commentary.

This guy seems much more credible, calm and cooler than other "soulsborne" runners that just screams and act insane in streams. Gonna follow this guy ! :)

It's not lost on me that his wife hyped him up like that. That's great.

Such a good commentary.

love it when runners are very informative. today I actually decided to make a sellsword run and I was wondering why other straight swords were better until you just told me that they only get OP with sharp infusion and a soft cap in dex.

Damn. I've never liked these live runs. But this guy was genuinely entertaining. I liked his little quips, clearly a tough crowd! GG man 👌

Not gonna lie, that ending was pretty badass.

Boss gave me a extended 2hour long lunch, let me just casually beat dark souls real quick

Going back and revisiting old agdq slots, I feel like this is the best showcase any runner has done. Spacey offers clear and concise commentary on his run while smoothly transitioning between strat explanations, he only gets one minor detail wrong (estus upgrades) which doesn't really play into the speedrun itself, he's extremely focused on playing both the game and the crowd, he gets almost every skip first try and finishes the run with no major mistakes (deaths), and he did the entire thing without a couch behind him. Really impressive stuff, and entertaining the whole way through. Not to mention that clutch save during vilhelm skip, holy moly

This dude must do commentary on all his runs while he’s practicing with no crowd at home, cause that was SMOOTH!

I really like this guy. It was a great time watching him, he is an amazing players obviously and nothing fills me with more fun watching someone play than the ones who are outsanding at teaching what they do by explaining it nicely and precisely

Best fake-out, there was a second where I thought he screwed it up but I shouldn't have doubted him.

That was a great run! He knows when to be serious when he needs to, and calls for donations when it's necessary. Soulsborne is one of my favorite series and it's great to see competent runners of it. The bloodborne run wasn't as good as last years, but still worth a watch.

Congrats to Spacey, that's the fastest Farron skip I've seen in a speedrun!

Great Run; Good Commentary. The lag really annoyed me but the runner dealt with it well.

This guy KILLED this run. Awesome explanations, super well done tech’s, absolutely loved this from start to finish

I am still amazed by all GDQ events. Just think about it: We nerds get to spectate some awesome speedrun skills. The nerd runners get to show off their skill. And everyone is making A LOT of money for a charity cause.

How dare you not give this runner a couch! I mean he handled it like a pro, but damn he deserved company for being this awesome!

Consice explainations and peerless execution throughout. Thouroughly enjoyed. Gonna look out for spacey more :-)

*Spacey1 starts Ds3* Ds3 Bosses : oh shit not again

I've been watching GDQs for about 3 years now and watching backlog stuff in between and this... This is my favorite run of all the ones I've seen, so much so that I downloaded it to watch at work since I work in the freaking boonies and there is no internet or cell signal at all. The game play, masterful. The commentary, clear, concise, on point. The humor, spot on despite the crowd being ass. This run is the single reason why I'm learning this run and actually got into speed running.

Darkeater Midir was my nightmare on this game, maaan I died uncountable times to this boss, see you killing him like it was one of the hollows is pure gold. Also, loved you run and commentaries, it was a really joyfull run to watch. Thanks.

My god. That was an incredible run. That Midir fight. I'm still stunned. Great job! :D

this guy is a real pro, his explanation of what he was doing was clear and concise the entire run

This guy is great. Good commentary. Good sense of humor. Good execution. Fun speedrun to watch.

"boop em on the snoot, then give him some belly rubs" *viciously murders doggo* LMAO!

Honestly, the confidence with the number of swings in what order is pretty impressive.

Awesome run Spacey! This was the only run I actually watched throughout.

Pontiff was incredible, wow Edit: Champion Gundyr was INSANE

Best Run of any game ive watched in a long time. Great runner, good presentation and info.

i guess i found a new favourite runner here... i just love it when they explain the stuff they do! nice commentary! nice run!

Absolutely fantastic run and just as great a commentator and player. This is I think my favorite ds3 speedrun + commentary ive ever seen1

I was scared they wouldn't upload this VOD. Glad they did, this run is awesome!

I love this game and I love seeing these guys make it look so easy. I always enjoy the AGDQ events, thanks for using a great hobby for a bigger purpose.

this guy really knows his shit. And as someone who did Yhorm The Hard Way back in my first playthrough it was... cathartic to see it here.

Amazing run and great commentary. Really awesome throughout

This was really spectacular and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks GDQ and spacey1!

Great speedrun! Idk why there’s no views, but this deserves way more.

I watched it all like a movie.. Fantastic speedrun.. good explanation and got me all needy for dark souls 3 again.. U did great, bud.. Big tnx!

Amazing run and commentary. That Yhorm fight was incredible.

I did not set out to watch any of this, much less the entire video. I've seen plenty of ds3 speed runs, I was a fan a big dist2 fan for a couple years, but this was exceptionally entertaining and well presented.

what an amazing run with great commentary. made everything so clear in regards to what he was doing. also loved the fakeout at the end!

This video together with that Dragon Warrior run became my comfort video when I want to watch a speed run. So well done.

these speed runs are so nice and relaxing to watch

this is still my favorite run to watch. just such a chill vibe.

Spacey, dude thank you for the great gameplay, really high level of skill

This run was absolutely sick. Props to Spacey on the best run I've ever seen at GDQ

Great run, very entertaining! Also loved the fact, that you put effort into explaining certain skips..

Awesome run and awesome commentary. Takes a lot of skill to do either one of those things so the fact that he was able to do both at once was super impressive.

what do you think the estus flask tastes like? i imagine a mix of mango, pineapple, and orange juice but it's carbonated.

this isnt my first time watching a speedrun but i am so amazed by how people can talk while playing games without making any mistakes.

One of my favorite runs, good stuff dude!

Wow, that was a really clean run. Congrats.

Really enjoyed this run by Spacey. Made sure to follow him on twitch. Seems like a great dude.

I was just straight up glued to the screen the entire run. Yasssss.

such an amazing run, great gameplay and great commentary, really entertaining and educational.

I wonder why there were so many lag spikes? DS3 isn't super well optimized but you don't need a monster PC to run it at smooth 60. Props to the runner for not letting it effect him or his run.

"Yes clap for that, that's fine" 😂

This man is literally a machine. I love this explanation as a normal dark souls lover, but this gave me more insight of how amazing the speedrun community is.

Once upon a time, I tried out dark souls 1 and right after the first Boss appeared, I watched in awe and I quit. And then you have these guys.

Great run, great job explaining to the crowd. Well done!

This run and runner are absolute class

Excellent running commentary

I’ve played off and on for a couple years now and that stamina management tip I’ve never thought about lmao. Thanks

I never get tired of enjoying the astonishing soundtrack of this game.

This was awesome! Thanks for the cool commentary and great display of skill. :D

Funny speed runner that did a good job explaining all aspects of the game. Will definitely follow

Like this dude, hope we'll see him more often!

Best of the show for me.

Great run and great commentary!

I really enjoyed this, thanks a lot guys :))

great run, i enjoyed watching it

Love this guy and his explanations

Great, detailed commentary by Spacey.

This is such a good run. Spacey1 does a great job of explaining his methodology. I used this run to beat some of the hardest bosses in DS3.

Impressive commentary quality+run quality combination

Plays the game very well, gives great commentary and manages when to time donation shoutouts. Great watch!

It's really impressive seeing this dude Ran a whole DLC DS3 Run with alot of risky Skips... yet if u saw this whole run , he didn't even die once ( Deathless Run ) i gotta say the Farron Keep skip is pretty hard aswell as the DLC ladder skip run

that gael fight was a work of art. great run and amazing runner.
