Ahh, Dark Souls. Since I played Demon's Souls before it, I never really had the *dies 100 times* experience, but I understand the sentiment. Trying to take down Ornstein and Smough with a Faith build felt like the Maneater fight all over again. The binocs bit made my day; no one used those for anything other than getting a closer look at the Daughters of Chaos and Gwynevere, in combination with the light spell or that parasite helmet.
