Matthew first got into PC gaming after the Wii U launched out of pure disappointment, building his first desktop in 2015. Ever since, he's been burning money buying PC parts he really doesn't need, like a custom liquid cooling setup that may or may not have caused an electrical fire in his last PC build. All this experience in PC building led to a career in writing about them, and Matthew has written for Tom's Hardware, Digital Trends, HotHardware, and a few other publications. He mainly reports on PC news but would spend all of his time benchmarking if he could. Matthew originally went to college to get a computer engineering degree to complement his journalistic career but instead got a degree in history and linguistics, which he enjoyed studying much more than physics and math.
