Your best bet would be to relentlessly try to make some form of personal contact with someone that works where you want to with ziff davis - they all have interns, and the great thing about bigshots in video games (from my experience with the likes of R. Pitchford) is that they're super-laid back...they don't mind talking to the little guy. They will undoubtedly be able to give you the best advice on what you need if you're persistent enough to get past HR
Don't be afraid to call, write, do anything and everything to get in touch...it separates the interns from the fanboys, so to speak.
