Every Time....walking away in tears.

Love seeing Doc break character. A very sweet moment. Read more

I love watching streamers play with randos for this reason. For every 10 games you’re teamed with people yelling obscenities, it’s worth for that one where you can tell the person feels like the luckiest person in the world being teamed with a streamer they recognize. Read more

I met the Doc once and he is such a nice guy, although he is a character actor I don’t think this is fake Read more
