“During his short but valuable time at GamerNode, Kyle was the best news writer I had on our staff. He was always eager to jump on a breaking news story to both cover and promote it for the benefit to the site. He also adapted to my personal requirements for news writing style quickly and efficiently, welcoming and appreciating all criticism on his pieces. Kyle was also a great voice of opinion on our "Vs. Node" podcast, giving thoughtful and amusing insight on the industry. He was a breath of fresh air that we sorely miss, but I certainly wish him luck with everything he does. Anyone who doesn't consider Kyle for a position at their publication would be doing themselves a disservice.”
