Experience
Ethan Zack is a tech and entertainment writer with over five years' worth of professional experience writing about hardware, video games, comic books, film, and television. It was an epiphany moment for a young Ethan when he realized that writing coverage of his tech-centric interests could be just as enjoyable as engaging with the tech itself. Since then, he's dedicated his career to talking as much as he can about cutting-edge developments in the industries he cares about — and the more vintage stuff he's nostalgic for. His work has appeared in several established outlets, including Nintendo Life, Looper, Screen Rant, and SVG. When he isn't writing, you can find him livestreaming video games or watching one of the many, many movies from his massive classic film backlog.
Education
Ethan graduated from the College of Arts and Science at New York University in 2022 with a B.A. in journalism and history. Throughout his studies, Ethan also took classes on film analysis and video game theory.
