Ian Bell is one of my personal heroes.
The guy wrote Elite, with David Braben, while in college.
If you don't know what Elite was, I have to give you the hand -- you shouldn't speak/type at all, and you are exiled from Gamer-Land (which I am King of, of course) until you get to at least "Deadly" status. Anyone below that is, at best, a peon in Gamer-Land, unfit to speak in the presense of good pilots and stuff.
