As a Contributor on Digital Trends, Gabriel Moss shares his insights about video games and technology. He also contributes to IGN and a handful of other outlets when time allows, but his day job is working with the Sales & Marketing team at Flying Fish Exhibits to bring traveling exhibitions to museums across the world.
Gabriel is a lifelong gamer with a soft spot for RPGs. He attributes his expediated reading and writing skills to having played and beaten the then-brand-new Pokémon Red on the Game Boy Color at age 2. By the time he was 8, he was avidly devouring Dungeons & Dragons 3e sourcebooks and the works of J. R. R. Tolkien. The rest of his time was spent obsessing over games like Diablo , StarCraft , Civilization , Final Fantasy , Baldur's Gate , EverQuest , Dragon Warrior Monsters (before the series was renamed to Dragon Quest in the west), point-and-click adventures like Myst and Obsidian , and more PlayStation 1-era JRPGs in the vein of Legend of Legaia and Star Ocean 2 than he could count on both hands.
Gabriel is based in Oregon. He graduated from Portland State University in 2017 with a B.A. in Marketing & Advertising Management with a minor in Psychology. This education gave Gabriel a leg-up in communication and problem-solving skills, which are both crucial in reporting effectively on games and tech.
