Trivia / Ben Croshaw

• Creator Backlash: Before he gained fame as a video game critic, he wrote several webcomics. In his words, they "came out of a dark time in his life from which he has determinedly moved on without a backward glance." Moreover, just to make sure no-one would be fooled into thinking he cares about his old works, he has gone on to officially disown them, including every webcomic he ever made, every game made before The Trials of Odysseus Kent and every work of fiction he has written before the age of twenty, encouraging his readers to dispose of them in the nearest possible natural disaster should they ever get their hands on his old work. Makes sense, given his utter hatred of most gaming webcomics, especially Ctrl+Alt+Del.
• What Could Have Been: At some point, Yahtzee was offered a job as one of the head script-writers for Duke Nukem Forever, but was rejected by the game's head developer, because his interpretation of Duke didn't fit with the game's intended tone.
