Hey, I'm Ben Bryce, I'm from the south coast of England and I'm twenty this year. I first started playing F-Zero games when I got the inaugural game in the series in 1993, I was five. Since then, I've been a massive fan of the series, and bought each console based sequel that has been released since. I got F-Zero X a few weeks after I got my N64 in 1998 and although I found it very difficult, I eventually beat all the difficulties on it. When GX was released on the Gamecube, I felt my skills were pretty decent, and being pretty clued up on computers at this point I decided to search online for a ranking site, and found the now deceased F-Zero Central. I joined in October 2003 and continued to post right up until its demise in March the following year. After this I no longer felt the need to play GX, so instead I found something else to focus my attention on; NGC, a Nintendo focused gaming magazine ran their ''I'm The Best'' competition, and while that lasted I signed up to Games Radar, where I can still to this day be found posting regularly and joined in with the chatter. I've even met some of the guys who took part, I'd even call them friends. Around this time I moved house and didn't have the Internet for around a year, so in an effort to stay in contact with the F-Zero guys, I used to go to the library and send off emails to Randal (as his email was the only one I could remember), and kept up to date with the latest goings on. When we did finally get the Internet back at home again, I signed up to the first incarnation of Haven, and posted there for a while before college became too much and dominated my life (incidentally I passed the course). Towards the end, I was told there was a new Haven, so I signed back up and I haven't stopped posting there; although it's pretty dead now.
Currently I play Super Monkey Ball 2, slowly working my way up the ladder. To see what other games I've played you can check my Cyberscore profile. I can usually be found on MSN due to currently being out of work. Hobbies include listening to music (mainly metal), reading, sports, wrestling and of course games. I also enjoy calling Ben Allen a ''Sk8r''. The picture of me on the photowall is roughly 20 months old, but I could still pull that pose if I wanted to, so I feel no need to update the picture.
I'd also just like to thank anybody who has helped maintain my enjoyment of being apart of the F-Zero community for all this time; namely Randal, Bayntun, and Allen.
