Everyone has one hobby that no one expects. Whether it's a burly man who just loves crocheting, or a sweet grandma who loves skateboarding - it's always sweet to see.
Well, the frontman for Breaking Benjamin, Benjamin Burnley, has a hobby that (I at least) wouldn't expect him to have - modding video games. More specifically, Bethesda's hit titles Fallout 4, and Skyrim. And saying that he's passionate is a serious understatement.
(In case you're wondering - yes, Amazon's Fallout show is based on the games. It centers on a post-apocalyptic world after bombs dropped on America.)
Well, he recently paused a concert to talk all about his hobby, per Dexerto. And he wanted to squash some beef with a fellow modder - by "blowing his numbers out of the water".
The Breaking Benjamin frontman made the wild announcement to fans during the break of a show in Holmdel, New Jersey. He asked the audience if they were gamers, before specifically asking about Fallout 4... and then saying, "I am an amateur modder. I make mods for Skyrim and Fallout 4."
Of course, a lot of the crowd were confused - but he wanted to make things as clear as possible. He explained the details of his Fallout 4 mod, called "True First Person".

The Band Frontman Wanted Fans to Download the Mod
After explaining what his mod was all about, and how it affected the game, he got more clear about why he was mentioning it in the first place - after all, a concert wouldn't exactly have people wanting to play video games right there in the crowd!
"I want you to go and download that f****** mod!" he exclaimed. "There was a modder in the community that was really mean to me," he continued, lamenting. "And [he] was bullying me, saying, 'Oh, your mod is s***. You don't know what you're f***** doing."
His passionate rant continued, with him explaining he was doing this announcement every single night that Breaking Benjamin was touring. "I'm doing this... and blowing his f****** [mod] downloads out of the water!"
We hope that this went well for him - and he keeps on with his passion projects.
