Biography
Benzaie was born on September 29, 1987, in a small town in Deux-Sèvres, which is in midwestern France, called Niort (79000).
He's been a passionate gamer since his early childhood, starting with his grandpa's ORIC ATMOS, and has always been dreaming to make a living out of playing video games.
After receiving a 3-year Bachelor Degree in English Literature and Civilization at the university of POITIERS (86000), Benzaie spent a year in Warrington in the United Kingdom (near Manchester) as a foreign language assistant. By June of 2009, Ben came back to France and stopped any teaching activity.
Benzaie has been one of the early video contributors to ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com. His show, Games You Might Don't Know made it to the main site in August 2008. This show is "a fast paced and wacky introduction to a game that most people don't know about." Other shows from Benzaie came out later on: Game Soundtracks You Might Don't Know, (a video tribute to some of his favorite video game soundtracks), FAQ YOU (short videos giving away tips for a particular game each time), 5 Second Games (the gaming equivalent to 5 Second Movies) and Benzaie's TOP 5 (random subjects). Benzaie also contributed to TGWTG's podcast "Transmission Awesome" where he interviews various guests in his segment "Benzaie Interviews". GSYMDK is also co-hosted with a small white bear named Beary.
In July 2010, Benzaie established himself as a Freelance Translator, Video Game Journalist and Video Producer. He's collaborated with Pix'n love Publishing by proof-reading the History of Nintendo Vol 1, and translating the History of Nintendo vol 2 (from French to English). He also contributed to Paris' Video Game Museum and is a frequent collaborator of French communication agency Alerte Orange (He covered Gamescom 2010 for the company recently). Since April 2009, Benzaie, (Benjamin DANIEL), exclusively lives off the activities mentioned above..
