As a child Hindle was seen to be one of the outcasted children, and father; David Hindle, saw this could be a major problem which could affect his life. "Every day he would go to school the other children would go about their lives and just either pretend he wasn't there, or just simply thought of him as an "alien" " David says. The media did a special insight to his life on a channel WIN "60 minutes" Special, which showed the terrors of his childhood. But thanks to the help of great friends and family, Ben was able to get through this disastrous time of his life and move onto a new beginning.
From the age of 15 Hindle led his life dedicating his time to the game "World Of Warcraft" Released in 2004. To many children and their parents, excessive playing of this game was seen as an addiction. However to Hindle this was not the case. World of Warcraft, or commonly known as "W.O.W" was his life. Time Played before conquering the game completely was calculated to be more than 3000 hours. Hindle was apart of a guild named "Conviction" who evidently went on to finish all quests in the game. Statistics show that Hindle was apart of the only 5% of guilds within the game to reach the final level, and then went on to be within the top 3% of guilds who actually passed the final level and conquered the game.
Hindle is now living in Sydney and is continuing his life as a great player of World Of Warcraft and numerous other games.
