One time over, Dwayne Johnson was The Block, not The Rock. Like cuz Roman, 'The Great One' plied trade on the gridiron, playing defensive tackle for the Miami Hurricanes. He was even part of their 1991 championship winning team, before injury scuppered his dreams and he followed the footsteps of his father's wrestling boots instead. He stars in art-house films on the quiet now.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
