Nope. It's a standard staple of the show. I've seen it a few times due to my mother and grandmother being fans. You're wrong in the assumption that I watch or enjoy that turgid pap.

@QWERTY: Damn. Fucking. Right.

@Ryudo: Our wildlife's about as wild as a swot sitting in the school library at lunch reading up on the weather.

[Who Really Cares?]

A wheelchair-bound gamer has been accused of faking his disability after he stood up and walked while on camera.

Angel "zilianOP" Hamilton regularly appeared on Twitch.tv and was known for being paralysed from the waist down. As with any Twitch account, Hamilton used the service to earn money via donations.

In a clip of the incident, Hamilton is shown leaving the game in progress by standing up and glancing at the camera. He doesn't appear to rise entirely straight but seems to be walking unaided.

His girlfriend Breanna/"Panthoria", who also takes part in his streams, is heard to exclaim "oh my god!". Hamilton then tilts the camera away when returning to his wheelchair.

Both Hamilton and his girlfriend's Twitch accounts have since been banned due to "terms of service violations".

"The Twitch broadcaster, Zilianop, did indeed have his channel closed and his partnership contract terminated on the basis of fraud," a Twitch spokesperson told Kotaku. "Moving forward, we'll be offering refunds to those who subscribed to his channel through Twitch. We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior and the character demonstrated in this situation is truly reprehensible."

"His actions are a huge slap in the face to Twitch community members with real disabilities such as Aieron, and groups such as AbleGamers, who have helped spread a message of inclusiveness and positivity to not only the Twitch community, but gaming as a whole."

Viewers have reacted in anger and dismay, flooding YouTube and Reddit with condemnation.

The whole account is documented on Diablowned, where it's claimed that Hamilton raised $20,000 while operating the channel.

The money was allegedly spent on various electronic items, a $2000 wheelchair and $5000 to move house and live nearer his girlfriend.

Chat logs posted to the site apparently show Hamilton and his girlfriend attempting to explain the incident to those watching the stream.

Hamilton said his dog had knocked its water bowl over on some wiring. He managed to stand, he said, but then fell over.

"I pushed off my chair and ate it," he explained.

His girlfriend later claimed Hamilton had been undergoing physiotherapy to regain some control of his lower half, though did remain paralysed.

I found this guy (I'm just assuming it's a he) in my bathroom today, I don't really like touching spiders but I thought about that meme and decided to pick him up and move him to somewhere safe, I've named him Harry.

Excellent. Good karma coming your way.

Works is shit anyway. Got it with my laptop (RIP ) n it's basically just MS Word without the compatibility. Still got the disc for 8.5 & serial number if she doesn't have the bandwidth to download a torrent.
