In what can only be described as the funniest moment in Guild Wars 2 Twitch history, famed streamer Docgotgame, yesterday banned ArenaNet's Colin Johanson from his Twitch chat. For anyone who knows Colin or who has seen him turn up on a variety of streams, you'll know he goes by the handle ArenaNetColin on Twitch. On Reddit, he's just ArenaColin and he doesn't have Twitter. When he began to answer fan questions, Docgotgame quickly demanded verification it was in fact him and wrongly stated Colin has a Twitter account and should say so on Twitter. When Colin then states "I don't have Twitter, that's how you know it's the real me", Docgotgame replies with "Colin has Twitter, dude." He then promptly bans Colin. What makes this recording so special is the eventual realisation from Docgotgame that it was in fact the real Colin Johanson. Thanks must go to ArenaNet's Lizzie Stewart for popping into the channel to verify and set the record straight.
Either way, it's comedy gold and I have to give it to Docgotgame for not only finding it funny, but for protecting his stream. I've no doubt he does get plenty of trolls. Take a look at the video below and you can read Colin's reaction over on Reddit, here.
