Ben B. Bainton

Hi. I'm Ben, sometimes known online as elcalen. I'm a geeky, hippy(ish) guy with a passion for music and everything fantasy and science fiction, particularly forms of art and culture often ignored by mainstream audiences, like video games and comics. Currently a student (at least in theory) at Helsinki university, occasional freelance translator, pretty much the laziest guy in the world, and permanently broke. I'm also somewhat active in the Finnish SF fandom scene, but not really known outside my own small circles (probably mostly due to the aforementioned laziness). My website, bossbattle.net, deals primarily with my experiences with video games and RPGs. Hopefully you'll find something amusing, or even useful, there.
