 ### Additional features
 
-The bot also contains a `!quickvote` feature. If a broadcaster or moderator send the `!quickvote` command a vote will be started (or a already running vote will be ended). After a quickvote has been started your community can casts votes by sending a chat message starting with `#`. You can include a message after `!quickvote` (e.g. `!quickvote Is pizza hawaii any good? #yes/#no`). If you do so, this message will be repeated every 60 seconds, so everyone keeps in mind, that a vote is still active.
+#### !quickvote
+
+The `!quickvote` feature implements a simple vote system. If a broadcaster or moderator send the `!quickvote` command a vote will be started (or a already running vote will be ended). After a quickvote has been started your community can casts votes by sending a chat message starting with `#`. You can include a message after `!quickvote` (e.g. `!quickvote Is pizza hawaii any good? #yes/#no`). If you do so, this message will be repeated every 60 seconds, so everyone keeps in mind, that a vote is still active.
+
+#### !random
+
+The `!random` command will read a random line from a file called `random.txt`. You can also use multiple files, if you call `!random foo` the bot fetch the random line from a file called `random_foo.txt` instead of `random.txt`. `!random bar` will use the file `random_bar.txt` and so on. The `!random` command is restricted to the broadcaster and moderators.
