1* Any of his Let's Plays that come to a positive denouement. In particular American Mcgees Alice. You just can't help but be happy for the guy who is so obviously happy himself to have succeeded. He's a definite example of the GoodFeelsGood philosophy in video gaming (which, given the tendency of [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential people to be jerks when playing moral choice based games]], is very refreshing.)
2* There's just something about that quiet "whoa" at the end of Portal 2 [[spoiler: when the turrets are singing for Chell]], intended or not, that tugs the heart strings. Then again he's basically saying what we were all thinking.
3* Another point when he's just saying what we're all thinking: sure, he might be fixing [[VideoGame/AliceMadnessReturns Alice's highly fractured psyche]] but her real life still sucks and he doesn't know how to ''fix'' that. VideogameCaringPotential at it's best.
4** Then of course there's his proclamation later on in the game, when Alice is [[MindScrew reliving the things spoken to her by people in the real world in some twisted version of Ruteledge Asylum]], all of whom claim her to be mad, or needing to leave Wonderland for her own good or are just plain jerks.
5--->'''BDF:''' No. All of you can drown in a sea of [[PrecisionFStrike dicks!]] Alice deserves to be ''sane''!
6** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8uFg50g77M You're the queen of Wonderland, Alice]], you always have been. Let's show this wretched wannabe how you rule."
7* During the VideoGame/AlphaProtocol Let's Play BDF spends so long trying to decide [[SadisticChoice whether to save Madison, or the Museum patrons]] that he has to cut a good bit of his deliberation out of the final episode. However much later when it's a choice between stopping the bad guy or saving Mina (in his game, the love interest), he doesn't even [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl hesitate]].
8* It's comedic, and Darcy's a jerk, sure, but BDF managed to have Mike get along with him, so when the final boss battle comes [[WeUsedToBeFriends he's actually reluctant to take him out]].
9--->"I dinae ''want'' to kill Darcy."
10* His reaction to the death scene at the end of Fable 3 is equal parts sweet and depressing. It's mostly in the way he says this:
11-->"[[TearJerker He was a hero too]]."
12* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAFCJaUHXKk&t=2m17s Making a promise.]]
