+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 ZPH Interview on ZPH! Ever had a question about ZeroPage Homebrew? How does it operate behind the scenes? Why did James decide to do a stream all about Atari homebrew? Why does he keep doing it after 5 years? This is the time to ask!! James' work partner and filmmaker Giovanna will be interviewing James and Tanya on January 3, 2023 about the show and more! Please leave your questions below that you've always wanted an answer to! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 This is a great idea! The show is such a huge time commitment on your part. I'm curious if you have days where you are supposed to stream where you just aren't "feeling it", and how you handle that. Also, did it take much convincing to get Tanya involved as a co-host? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 A filmmaker doing a twitch stream is a bit like a novelist doing slam poetry. How do the two compare and contrast, and what itch does each scratch for you? Everybody has pivotal moments in their life, where a single decision leads them down a unique path. Was there a particular moment that brought about the ZPH stream, and what are the mirror-universe James and Tanya doing now instead? What's your favorite color?

+littaum Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Question #1: I would like to know how much everyone's day jobs translates over to the skill at putting on the ZPH stream - everything seems so much more professional and consistent than many other streamers. Question #2: Have you found your work on the ZPH stream has provided some benefit in doing your day jobs better? I ask because I've found my hobbies have actually helped practice some skills I need for my own day job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+D Train Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Question 1: you've been doing this for five years. do you foresee a time when you won't want to do it? have you (or will you) talk to anyone about handing it off? Question 2: do you have any thoughts about how you would handle the show if it grew any more? it's still at a stage where everyone in the chat "knows" each other (I think), and where the chat is slow enough to be an integral part of the show (which is really nice for building a sense of community). Any thoughts on how that feeling might be preserved in the future? Question 3: Darcy runs a game shop. Any thoughts about doing an annual atari day there? Question 4: not a question but we miss aerlan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrummy Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 For Tanya and James 1. What was your childhood like? Did you play outside? build forts? Ride bikes? 2. Was there a favorite system you had from childhood? 3. Can you name any games that were generally disliked that you learned to love? What was it that allowed you to find enjoyment in that game? 4. Have you had any interesting dreams about video games? Thank you both for what you do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Iacovelli Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 my question is how did get the into Atari homebrew scene and what was your first 2600 homebrew game you got. Big fan of the homebrew scene for Atari which was why I started the formerly known Harmony games now expanding to 7800 homebrews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Thank you so much everyone for your great questions! I've forwarded them all to our guest interviewer Giovanna for the show on Tuesday, see you there! - James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I'm just now catching this on youtube. Great interview overall, and my ears especially pricked up when you talked about 2600 magazine. In the pre-internet days I was a pretty regular 2600 reader, and much later in 2006 I had an article published; it went through the analysis and steps to get root on a particular consumer NAS box. (I got a 2600 magazine hoodie out of it.) So fun to hear I'm not alone with the dual-2600 personal history! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there's a fairly decent cross over from the hacking community and the retro gaming community. 🙂 - James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
