So in the first set, you deequiped your armour and said something about armour being overrated, does that mean that played as a Steel Wall type guy isn't viable?

To be fair, heavy armor is still really useful for the first playthrough, it just doesn't get any better as the game goes on while weapons will scale with your stats, meaning at higher levels it really doesn't matter too much. Where I'm at however, heavy armor is still okay. And there are some situations where certain armors are very useful (poison resistant armor, magic resistant armor, flame resistant armor, etc.).
A good shield is a completely different story, however. You want a good shield.

Update!
Surprisingly enough, playing online is actually helping me with World Tendency. Normally it would take more than one boss kill to raise WT to pure white, but because so many players play with high white tendency all it took was killing Leechmonger. This means that I could go and grab Istarelle, a holy spear that lost its way into the Valley. Here is a bonus video for you all until I get the next set up.

My apologies for the radio silence of recent. Fourth of July weekend has been hectic and limiting to my LP time, and I wanted to make sure everything was uploaded and processed on YouTube which took even longer. Nevertheless, Set 3 is uploaded and ready! I even put in little intros for each video 8-)
One thing of note is that I'm pretty sure I got dropped from the Demon's Souls server, because there were no messages except at the beginning of the level when I went through this set, and certainly no Soul Signs or Black Phantom invasions. Oh well
Don't forget to vote on where I go next! The options are:
1-2: Getting toasted on a bridge by a dragon.
2-2: Getting toasted in some caves by a lot of things.
3-1: Getting zapped by mind flayers.
4-1: Getting killed hard by Black Phantoms.
5-2: Getting poisoned by a poison swamp.
One of my favorite levels, the atmosphere is amazing

3-1 is my vote as well.
Also compliments to how you are making this letsplay, especially with a grindfest wanderfest like demons souls. The way you are cutting this together is nice.

Thanks for the kind words guys!
I may very well do a little bit of collecting in 4-1 and grab a bow there (but stay away from Vanguard and Adjudicator), but I've been hesitant towards going to levels that are yet to be voted on. I may very well make an exception either this set or later depending on how much I feel a bow/catalyst/Mirdan Hammer/thing is needed.

Seeing as how each level you could chose right now has a benefit of going there, I'm not really too phased at this point as to where you send me. For example, 3-1 has both a wooden and silver catalyst, meaning I FINALLY get to cast some fireballs up in this grill, and I get Sage Freke to boot.
Besides, I've been alive for far too long so far. My character needs some death to...liven up his day.

Good news and bad news!
Good news is that I beat 3-1 today and recorded it all, and now I have a wand, Sage Freke, and a Black Eye Stone so I can do invasions of my own.
Bad news is I couldn't find any soul signs, didn't fight any black phantoms, and somehow I cleared the level without dying. Oh, and it's going to take forever for me to upload the next batch of videos as usual.
While I'm busy editing the next set why don't you all vote on where I go next? The options are:
1-2: Oven-roasted bridge.
2-2: Angry boss is angry.
3-2: This is where you want me to go if you want me to die over and over again to bosses.
4-1: Most likely place for Black Phantoms and such.
5-2: Some consider this a hard level but I'm having my doubts. Either way this is the second most likeliest place that the game will kill me (as opposed to players killing me).
How can I give the set the awesome name "Mind Flayer Face Rape GO GO GO!" if I never got face raped by a mind flayer? Now I have to think of something else
I hope this is not a sign that they have shut down the multiplayer servers or anything like that?
There were still messages and lots of bloodstains on the ground, so I think it's more that nobody near my level was trying to group for 3-1.
Also, I've been having difficulties with getting my PS3 from a NAT 3 connection to a NAT 2, so that's probably the biggest reason for any unexpected dropouts or missing messages/soul signs/etc.
I'm still online, but probably not to the fullest extent

I say 4-1. Skeletons a lot more agile than they should be + the return of Vanguard + Flying gigantic Manta Rays? Yes. Also a lot of good loot for him in there.
I vote 1-2. Make sure you kill all the bosses in 1-2 too! If you can do it without arrows I'd love to see that and would give you a high 5 through the internets.

Set 4 is on its way, but I was pretty silent during the playthrough so I need to do a decent amount of post commentary for this one.

Use a meat cleaver you mamby pamby!
I won't lie I've always used arrows on him. I'd really like to see you soul arrow it to death though.
Very correct, he has to unlock special weapon forging at Ed and get the soul for the meat cleaver.
Mmm, Meat Cleaver...
I really should get back to Demon's Souls... I never did beat it once, but I had a great second build character who is Dex/Faith and uses a Meat Cleaver and an awesome bow.
If I'm correct though, he can't make the meat cleaver until he beats 4-1 and 2-2 first
Why I want him to do 2-2
Start using those demon's souls!

Hey all, just a quick update for now.
I'm busy finishing editing Set 4 (3-1), but I'm on a semi-vacation that means I'm away from my desktop and my videos. All this means is it's going to take a little longer than usual to upload the set, but hopefully it should be up tomorrow or Friday.

Another update:
I know I said I'd get the set up by today, but as it stands it'll have to be a little bit longer. Editing this set has been a pain in the butt. I will get at least one video uploaded tonight, but I won't be posting the full set until tomorrow earliest. Holidays + editing videos on a computer with an integrated graphics card instead of a good computer like normal = setback.
EDIT: Also my microphone was having issues so I recorded a lot of sound on a crappier mic, hopefully it won't be much of a bother.
EDIT EDIT: Some of the videos are up on my channel; I'll post the videos when the full set is uploaded. My microphone seems to not like my laptop and is getting somewhat staticy and can't decide to be loud or quiet. Almost there!

EDIT AGAIN: Well, 2-1 is cleared, but I have no clue what I'm going to name the set.

As for the vote, I want you to be able to kill the 1-2 dragon when you get there.
I say 4-1. Get the White Bow.

I'll vote 3-1.

Also, you would make my day if you posted your stats at the start of each quicklook ep, if possible?
