Much of our community will recognize Zion from our YouTube channel as he's been crafting videos with our team for over half a decade. He has a hard time believing it's really been that long now, but you know what they say! Time flies when you're doing something you love.

He's got quite the knack for photography and takes a number of photos our written pieces on the site. Whether he's trying to catch the good side of his amiibo or plush Nintendo collection or out at one of the many conventions like PAX, E3 (RIP) or now Summer Game Fest, he's always doing his best to capture special moments that evoke some kind of feeling in us.

While you'll usually find Zion playing RPGs, platformers, and adventure games, anything with a good story is sure to be right up his alley. For an on brand example: MOTHER 3 may not be recognized much by the Western side of Nintendo, but he still found a way to play it anyways and hopes it makes it way to the West officially so others can enjoy it more easily.

It goes without saying though, Zion's biggest passion in this wild industry of ours is getting to share the stories of others. He's had the fortunate chance to interview the developers behind Yooka-Laylee, Pikmin Bloom, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Doki Doki Literature Club and so much more. He hopes to continue this for many years to come, as, in many ways this feels like he's paying the world back for all of the developer diaries he read in magazines like Nintendo Power throughout his childhood.

His favorite projects in recent memory include his hour long documentary on the EarthBound/MOTHER series, his year long challenge to revive the long loved 3DS feature StreetPass and the time he walked the halls of PAX West dressed as his OC, Metronkey Zelkong...wait...Zion, that was you?
