Kyle Hilliard has been enjoying games since the SNES, but it became a full on love affair after Link's seven year nap in Ocarina of Time. In high school and college, he convinced the school papers to let him write about video games. While shooting and editing video content for The Charleston City Paper during a college internship, he convinced them to let him write about video games. After graduating from the College of Charleston in 2009, he accepted a job managing the websites of a number of local newspapers in South Carolina. He also convinced them to let him write about video games. After convincing many other websites to let him write about video games, he finally convinced Game Informer. Kyle also served as GameSpot's mobile gaming editor, helped GameMill launch Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and other titles, hosted the Gaming Ride Home Podcast, and is a co-host at MinnMax.
