Rob Zacny
Rob Zacny got into PC gaming because that’s where he could fly X-Wings and TIE Fighters. At university, Rob fenced and translated quite a lot of Latin poetry, showing the same unerring instinct for practical work that would serve him so well in life. Later, BioShock caused Rob to be fired from the the World’s Most Soul-Deadening Job. While enjoying unemployment, he pitched an article to The Escapist, which he didn’t realize would actually pay him money. He decided to keep pitching more articles while he looked for real work. He must have looked in the wrong places, however, because he kept getting more freelance assignments.
With such savvy career-planning, it’s little wonder that Rob is now a prolific freelancer for a number of gaming publications, a columnist and news writer for PC Gamer, and the host of the Three Moves Ahead strategy podcast. He divides his time between strategy games, racing games, shooters, and console sports games. He’s making a heroic effort to befriend the noble RPG and flight sim, but trust takes time. He lives in Cambridge with his too-smart and too-patient girlfriend.
