About Connor Trinske
Connor has been playing and writing about video games for most of his life, and started getting paid to do both back in 2016. His professional work in the field began as an intern at Game Informer, where he was able to access and report on some of the top talent and events in the video game industry. Since then, he has written all kinds of articles for a number of different outlets including VICE, Fanbyte, and many more. At Screen Rant, he covers the day-to-day news of the industry and writes early previews of upcoming games. As an experienced generalist with a particular love for video game history, he also reviews games of all genres and is constantly looking for the next interesting thing to play. If you ask him what his favorite game of all time is, he'll insist he can't pick just one out of the hundreds he's played. Unless you keep pressing him - then he'll probably just default to The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on Game Boy.
