Inventive Twitch streamer Rudeism has managed to stream Overwatch while playing Doomfist with a pair of bright red boxing gloves—you know, because Doomfist is all about punching.

There are a few kinks in the whole production, but overall, it looks like a pretty fun—and tiring—way to play Overwatch. “It’s quite uncomfortable with the way my thumb is placed right now,” Rudeism said.
