Both of which I still enjoy thoroughly, just not as much as Netrunner. As Sophocles once wrote “I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.” I instead stuck to my boardgames and the Lord of the Rings LCG. In hind sight I probably should have re-started again sooner, maybe it was my stubbornness, or once bitten twice shy, as we all know getting in to an LCG especially one with a fast advancing meta is an expensive business especially my impatience to be competitive. They tend to find it more annoying.” “But there's an element of bluffing and deception and you always seem to enjoy that in X,Y and Z.” “Yes, but not enough.” I like to kill people in ways they don't expect. “Yes I’ve played it” I’d declare “but it wasn’t for me, there isn't enough depth or varying strategies, you see the factions and you know what's going to happen before the game begins. I'm quite active within a few gaming groups, and on more occasion than I'd like to admit I’d had people ether paying it before my very eyes, or saying “hey have you played the FFG reboot of Netrunner, it’s the sort of thing you'd enjoy, it’s got lots of depth and you get to take people apart piece by piece and flaunt your superiority” (as my handle suggests I like winning A LOT). It seemed to take forever for FFG to get out their first few data packs and by that time I was either not interested or had gone on to play something else. I played it when it first came out, quite a bit actually, but I quickly grew bored of it there wasn’t enough depth or strategy to keep me interested. The stages I wanted to pass through were the kubler-ross stages of grief, which once you've got over the image of me dressed in black listening to my chemical romance (I’m actually listening to Taylor Swift - she just gets me!), it does actually provide a range of emotions and experiences that have lead me to a state of eat, sleep, snare, repeat.įirst up confession time, so when I said I first started playing Netrunner for the first time a few months ago, that’s not strictly true.


If you don't think it’s that funny, there’s also a picture of some boobs at the end, and who doesn’t love boobs? In fact I think I might steal that idea as well. Something which I've also discovered having now written this article was done by Mr Dave Paterson himself in his amusing seven sins of Netrunner article. the idea of stages of something I thought would be the good basis of an article. When contemplating this article I joked with Cerberus about entitling it “the ten stages of account siphon rage” admittedly an inside (job) joke for his persistent Account Siphoning antics against my Jinteki PE deck where he then wipes out all my lovely traps one by one, without being able to fire them.
