I know I am on the other side of the planet, but out here we heard that Big Ben has gone silent for a while for some overdue renovations. If true, we may be waiting years for this pool to begin. Or will Big Ben be using balloons and confetti to do his welcoming tonight? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably a bit too cautious putting him smack at the bottom, since video gaming is such a rough field for getting QOs and his profile is much lower than the other cofounder, Nolan Bushnell (100% guarantee QO). The video game geek in me meant I had to go for him regardless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
