About Patrick Kirk
Patrick has been a gamer most of his life, first really diving into the hobby with Pokemon Blue and Pokemon SIlver on the GameBoy. While Nintendo holds a special place in his heart, Patrick now spends most of his time split between PlayStation and Switch. Patrick fell in love with writing early in his education, and went on to graduate from Appalachain State University with a Bachelor's in Journalism. It was only natural to combine the two hobbies into one by signing on to Game Rant. When Patrick isn't writing, he can typically be found playing Pokemon, Civilization 6, or Baldur's Gate 3 as of late.
