Random Facts That You May or May Not Know About Ben

TeamKennyAlwaysTeamKennyAlways
edited August 2013 in The Walking Dead
The 3rd instalment of the series RFTYMOMNKA (I forgot the A on earlier posts :rolleyes:) Ben Paul, who we yell GODDAMMIT at all the time:

Ben did NOT go to collage, before the apocalypse he went to Stone Mountain School

Ben played in the schools band, his instrument unknown (he looks like someone who'd play the Tuba in my opinion)

In episode 2 Ben's jacket collar was white, but in episode 3 and onwards it was red

All of Ben's victims are killed indirectly

Ben was named #7 in Game Informer's "Top 10 Dorks" in their "Top 50 Games of 2012" article

19% of players fed Ben in episode 2 (one of those people were me ;))

If I find my facts I'll put them here. Suggest a character for the next thread.

    Nice, also I think originally Ben was meant to have a southern accent, and some lines with that accent were recorded. Not sure why they changed it.

    So at 17 he is still not in college? Well I am going to guess and say he is not the smartest person ever, which is n surprise to us.

    That is not surprising in anyway shape of form, I mean I doubt he could even talk to girls, let along go any further, and I read somewhere that he had never drank any alcohol drink in his life, also not surprising.

    Fact: According to telltale, Ben died a virgin.

    Agreed Gary Whitta and Trevor Hoffman confirmed this on Episode 4 commentary. Ben being a virgin is CANON people! :D

    Ben was originally supposed to be in the basketball team not the band

    And Telltale said that the interment he plays is a trombone, it's canon.

    We could have guessed that when asking if there will be a lot of blood, and his biggest fear is being eaten alive, which I totally understand.

    Ben's Voice Cracking was in fact accidental. Trevor was dehydrated during recording and his voice cracked, They liked it and insisted he did it for all of Ben's Lines. This is why the cracking voice didn't appear much in unused lines and occasionally pops up with Justin.

    also. Ben was in high school.

    I know that he was going to be voiced by someone else, who I do not know, and that Ben was to be horribly traumatized after seeing the bandits do things to his classmates, they cut that part, it might have still happened though.

    Your welcome, its good to discover New deets. Especially the bit about Kenny being a recovering alcoholic, adds more depth to his character and the story in general. I would also like to learn more about Eddie and Larry, you could talk about their tattoos lol.

    Sorry, I did not mean it like that, I thought Ben would be in college by age 17, sorry.

    I've decided the 4th instalment will be a mystery character which I picked out myself, 5th will be Larry, 6th Chuck, 7th Eddie or Nate. I'm not sure how many I'll make through depends if people get bored or enjoy it. If the forum members want more I'll make more.

    I want more, so you got one vote from me.

    I always like random trivia even if it's mostly pointless, can hurt to know everything right?

    Do you REALLY want to know everything?
  • Bioshock Infinite WDBioshock Infinite WD
    edited August 2013
    Well, not everything, but most pointless things like Kenny and beer, and Ben never getting a date in his life, that sort of thing, and nothing more, I have never been a fan of how much someones weighs is, or height, or anything like that.

    Being a virgin has nothing to do with dating. Ben probably had a girlfriend, at least. Look at all the girls on fanfictio.net and devianart that love him!
  • Bioshock Infinite WDBioshock Infinite WD
    edited August 2013
    I am pretty sure he did not even get that far, and for the record I know what a virgin is, I am just guessing and saying he never even dated, as he would have at least mentioned a girlfriend when talking about the important people who's fate is unclear.
  • KaserkinKaserkin
    edited August 2013
    Maybe before the outbreak? Doesn't seem too far-fetched to me.
    Anyway, I don't think Ben was this insecure before. He was an average teenager who is now confronted with problems even adults have trouble solving.

    Perhaps, I mean I have never seen my best friends get murdered and raped before my eyes, so many that is would made him a screw up, that would not be that far fetch.
  • KaserkinKaserkin
    edited August 2013
    I'm not sure if his friends getting raped is canon, since it comes from audio files. Anyway, people put too much responsability on him, which he is unable to manage since he doesn't have great power :D

    Don't worry about it. I don't know anyone who went to college before at least age 18.

    A character hardly has to be quality relationship material to have obsessive internet fangirls.

    It might be canon, as the bandits did kind of due the samething to Jolene, but it was cut, so really it's a coin flip.

    Thinking about it, Ben is a bit like Peter Parker, only in less nerdy and awesome.
    Anyway, maybe they did, but since most, if not all, the girls died when Jenny made an overdose, it's unlikely they did.
