Oh crap, I didn't see your message until just now. I'm so sorry.

No, I just heard Ben mention several times that he was losing hair and gaining weight from all the stress. He's also mentioned (publically) several times that the pay for his job in Japan may not be worth all the stress and pressure.

Ryan Payton is now working with Microsoft on Halo, so I'm curious to see if Ben is going to be heading back to the U.S. once he's done with Bionic Commando, too.
