Mat and Martin discuss Netrunner! This episode is aimed to give a little 101-level discussion of what we love about Netrunner, a few insights into our preferred corps and runners, and some general chat about the mechanics which we like the most. We're hoping to gradually ramp up the complexity as we get further in, so this is a good place to start if you're interested in Why We Like Netrunner So Dang Much!

You heard it here first: Martin hates Subtext. We talk about the difference between a Good Idea and a Rad Idea, gratuitous Chess violence and, sorry, like, a fuckin' 30 minute chunk about Dark Souls 2

Oh my gosh! We've got a dang Patreon! If you like the show, maybe think about kicking us some dollars? We'll use it! To make the show better and do more stuff! We'll be more specific next month!

This week we get a little too in-depth about player action feedback design. That's the part where we sound smart. Watch for that.
