Writing Team
Co-Founders
Brendan Roberts – Editor-in-Chief
Whether it be tweaking the performance on his PC or swapping out the keyboard & mouse for a controller, Brendan is across all platforms and likes to write about his adventures here. You can catch Brendan on Twitter @sushi_brobbo.
Thomas ‘Kochie’ Koch – Senior Editor
Kochie has been geeking out and gaming since he was 6. He’s a PC elitist, but still plays all the consoles and holds gameplay over graphics any day of the week. When he isn’t writing about his adventures, he’s fixing PC’s and drinking a lot of coffee. You can find him on Twitter @ItzKochie.
Contributors
Darcy Tranter-Cook
Darcy is a writer based in Canberra. Hollow Knight, Breath of the Wild, Half-Life: Alyx and Disco Elysium have him convinced that there’s never been a better time to play video games. You can find Darcy on Twitter @dmax3901.
Nat Crouch
Nat is a Canberra-based law student and avid console gamer. From a childhood romance with Nintendo to a tawdry love affair with Microsoft and Sony, he is just as likely to be found playing any of the major consoles. He also likes Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain. You can reach him on Twitter @Nat_Crouch.
Paul Frew
It’s been 13 years since Paul has had any articles about gaming published. Back in the day, his work could be found in Official PlayStation Magazine and on other sites. But in the words of LL Cool J, don’t call it a comeback. During that time, he’s been honing his craft in the corporate world while racking up a backlog of games. Now that he’s a self-employed leadership coach, he’s got more time on his hands to make his way through his hall of shame and tell us all what he thinks about them.
Omer Bener
In addition to his Electronic, Electric and Computer Engineering background, Omer was always intrigued with gaming consoles with his first console being the Atari 2600. He still loves adding consoles and collectors editions to his vault. Omer prefers playing multiplayer games and in his free time enjoys travelling, especially for gaming conventions. You can reach Omer on Twitter @obener.
Glen ‘Barry’ Gugliotti
Barry loves all things games & hardware related. He has been reviewing games and producing written and video content on them for multiple outlets over the years. He doesn’t have as much time for gaming these days, but still tries to squeeze it in when he can. You can find him on Twitter @barrymcbruce.
