David Milner began writing about games in 2011 as a distraction from the history thesis that was consuming his life. He fell in love with the hobby as a five year old who saved up all his coins to play Street Fighter II, and never quite understood how Alex Kidd in Miracle World worked on his Sega Master System II without a cartridge. In 2018 he won best games journalist at the Australian IT Journalism Awards for his investigation into crunch and unhealthy working conditions in the industry. Beyond games, he's fond of Star Wars, heavy metal, football (soccer), and snowboarding. He tweets too much.
