The Voice of Niche Gaming

Welcome to Radio Zero, where a game designer streams the niche games you might have loved if you'd ever played them!

My taste is for the niche and the classic rather than the newest blockbuster, with a particular emphasis on RPGs, tactical games, horror, and imports of varying nature. I'm a veteran game designer of 21+ years so you can expect me to dissect and tear apart basically anything I play, for better or for worse.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's break a game.

STREAMING SCHEDULE

The day job with Red Hook, coupled with some major life changes, have left me running a single show per week for a while. Random shows will be telegraphed if/when they happen!

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

An Unfortunate (but also not really?) Announcement

3 December - Care Level Zero | 0 Comments

Replicating here from social sites for the rare person using these but not those and wondering why the schedule has changed.

As the Seasons experiment winds to a close, I've come to a difficult decision. With fatherhood close on the horizon, impending immigration, and new chapters starting in both my personal and professional lives, it's time to (mostly) hang the lab coat up and refocus that time and energy, with some small caveats.

Virtual Couch remains its own entity within the larger channel, so Jonny and I will still be sharing weird games and experiences on Friday nights whenever we're both able.</li>
I remain present on Discord because, frankly, I like hanging out with my community off-air. The Discord link is available on my Twitch page and is equally available to subs and non-subs alike.
I reserve the right to pivot to game dev or surprise people with weird games occasionally. If you think I'm not pursuing my own projects with some of the time I'm getting back, you're sorely mistaken.

Honestly, I could never thank the community enough for all they've done for me since we began this journey in 2014 and that's part of why I never quite completely fade away; a zombie streamer of a bygone era.

November 27th will be the final Tue-Thu show but, effective immediately and by community vote, the Season 4 headliner of Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines has been moved to Friday night's Virtual Couch slot.

Much love to you all. I hope I'll see you on a Friday night!

This is Zero out.

Pre-Production for Season 1: Semi-Off Until Jan 2025

26 November, 2024 - Care Level Zero | 0 Comments

Live shows are on break until January, with the exception of the Friday night show with my co-host!

This gives me a few weeks to manage maintenance, planning, and pre-production for my "Seasons" project starting in January 2025, in which I'll be running 2 months on / 1 month off and being a bit more selective and focused with my live content.

This pre-production time will include getting some edited VODs up as well now that I'm not scrambling to fill emote slots or keep our Metaphor playthrough progressing forward. XD

See you Friday(s)!

Thanks Gaiashield. Still working towards it, bit by bit, but it's pretty uphill for niche gaming. lol

I'm keeping an eye on Bravely Second. Not super happy with what I've heard about localization so far, though. =\ It's one thing to translate poorly but they've been cutting swaths of content out entirely.
