Episode 74 - A mixed bag of community content
I have to say, I'm glad this show turned out as good as it did, the initial topic, "Drama Judor" was to let our host, Steve Strowbridge blow off some steam and get a few things off his chest with regards to events that have transpired over the past week that caused a lot of our social channels to be less than pleasant at times. A healthy discussion ensued from that, and afterwards, after Steve left, the show got good :) The community and the panel got back to talking about all that's good in our little corner of the world, tech discussions, core dumps, what are sprites and so much more!! So enjoy another episode! CoCoTALK!

Episode 65 - Core Dump Debut
This week on CoCoTALK! We debut a brand new segment called Core Dump! This segment is the brain child of Nick Marentes. This will be a tech talk focussed on some aspect of software, programming, development, etc. The idea is to present something, either a question, or a problem, or show off something you've come up with, then get some input and suggestions from the panel and viewers, followed by a Q&A session. We started the segment by looking at a program by Diego Barizo, with his game "Furious Felines 2" and we explored some options on how to reduce flicker. All this and more on the latest episode of CoCoTALK! On the panel: Al Hartman, Jason Reighard, D. Bruce Moore, Diego Barizo, Grant Leighty, Jay Searle, L. Curtis Boyle, Mark Overholser, Nick Marentes, Nick Marrota, Paul T. Barton, Richard Lorbieski, Rick Adams, Ron Delvaux, Steve Batson, Stevie Strow, Terry Steen Join the discussion live!
