Dr. Incompetent aims to teach you how to get better at games while having a blast and maybe exposing you to a game you haven't yet tried--or even heard of by producing gaming guides, tutorials, let's plays, and tips, tricks, and strategies. He also tries out recent hits to determine if they are worth buying. He is more than happy to answer any questions you have about the games covered, either live during his Twitch Stream or in the YT comments below.
👶 🕹 ️ 👨 🏫 🎮 Dr. Incompetent's Heavily Censored Biography 👶 🕹 ️ 👨 🏫 🎮
Dr. Incompetent is a college professor by day and gamer by night (and day). He has been playing games since his first ATARI, got hooked on PITFALL 2 and never looked back. He focuses mainly on RPGs, Strategy games, Simulations, ARPGs, and... well he plays pretty much everything ;) He thanks you so profoundly for watching!
