  • Episode 84 - Thanksgiving 2018

    CoCoTALK! Episode 84 finds us on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we already had a Thanksgiving evening episode, so you'd think we wouldn't have anything else to talk about, but, somehow, we managed.

    Lots of news, some tech segments with Curtis and Nick and more!

     

    2 hr 23 min
  • CoCoTALK! AfterDARK! #21 Nick Marentes' hidden gems!

    We're back, more old guys talking about old tech, usually with the addition of alcohol and medication, why not join us live, either by watching or listening, or even better yet, joins us on the Zoom call, it's like Skype, only better!  We had an unexpected treat as Nick Marentes ended up showing us all kinds of cool game projects he had started but never finished and some other rare and unusual Coco goodies from his archives.
