Move when I move and Psi when I Psi, I’m your M.C. Marcus Chatty, and this is Net Night. With me as always Stimbot the sentient vending machine. How are you doing tonight SB?

MarcusChatty

Haha, fantastic. You know, it seems like everyone is trying to save a few credits these days. I accidentally sleeved an extra celebrity gift at my last tournament. The TO disqualified me – he said that cheating was un-4-giftable.

I guess I have been pretty scatterbrained lately, just this morning I was cloning myself a cup of coffee and forgot some chromosomes, I ended up with a steamy mug of apex cards.

Recently, at the Game Manufacturers Association trade show, FFG announced some exciting changes to their Organized Play program. This means that the European Nationals winner will now be flown to compete at Worlds in Minnesota in November. Unfortunately, the European Nationals winner will be flown to Minnesota in November.

Nerdbears, we’ve got a great show for you tonight and I’m not just saying that because we’re re-using all of the old graphics from last time. We have Donald Trump with us to talk about his NBN deck – but first Chill84 from NRDBir is here!

Chill84

Thanks for having me Marcus.

MarcusChatty

It’s our pleasure to have you – here at Net Night we never pass up an opportunity to interview a barely recognizable name from a niche card game community.



Chill84

Wow you just come right out swinging don’t you?



MarcusChatty

A thousand cuts baby, it’s the Jinteki way. You just take repeated insignificant jabs at someone until you expose who they are and what they do. So who are you and what do you do?

Chill84

Well I’m a barely recognizable name from a niche card game community, and I write a weekly series about Netrunner.

MarcusChatty

Is it a weekly series if you don’t do it every week?

Chill84

Well you know what they say, all jank and no play makes Chill a dull boy.

MarcusChatty

I’ve actually read some of your blog.

Chill84

Thanks, I’ve been w-

MarcusChatty

It’s a bit shit.

Chill84

Anyway… I’ve been working at it for a while, and things have been a bit hectic, we started the project as a way to fill the long gap between card releases.

MarcusChatty

Yes, 19 new cards every 180 days, you must be overwhelmed.

Chill84

It’s all about those crazy net decks Marcus, they just keep coming every week.

MarcusChatty

Every week on NRDB, hard working Netrunner players pour their souls into making decks and putting them out there for the community out of the kindness of their hearts. They just put themselves out there like naked remote servers against a Whizzard deck, and then you come along and ruin the game for everyone.

Chill84

That’s correct, yes.

MarcusChatty

So what gives you the right huh? What makes you so great at Netrunner?

Chill84

That’s the thing, I’m not great at Netrunner – I’ve just been doing it for a long time. When I was still new to the game, I looked to the community for help with decks. If everyone tells you a deck is good, then you play it and fail miserably – what is the first thing you are going to think?

MarcusChatty

My opponent just got lucky draws.

Chill84

Right, or that you are playing wrong or badly. Not knowing why you lose games is going to hold you back from getting better more than anything else.

MarcusChatty

I really think my Dog-tribal adam deck is tier 1 though Chill. The cards are synergistic because there are pictures of dogs on all of them.

Chill84

I guess it’s fortunate for me that the deck of the week isn’t determined by what you think then.

MarcusChatty

So you actually play these decks?

Chill84

Every week, usually IRL with the Fusionhaa staff.

MarcusChatty

That’s a pretty stupid awesome name where does it come from?

Chill84

Ah, it’s an inside joke. Arkidents thought of it when we first started playing together and we just ran with it. It’s a DragonballZ reference.

MarcusChatty

Wow, you guys are fucking nerds.

Chill84

When you go 6 months without a datapack you’ve got to entertain yourself somehow right?

MarcusChatty

Still, I can see how that would wear on your sanity after a while.

Stimbot



Chill84

Well, I am having an imaginary conversation with a fictional character from a fantasy fan-fiction world that I created right now.

MarcusChatty

Yeah, that’s some Pans Labyrinth shit man.

Chill84

Too meta?
