After 83 episodes, Terminal7 comes to an end. Nels and Jesse discuss what made the game special, what it meant to them, if anything else could ever take its place (spoilers: no) and how we even got here. We're sad the game is ending, but happy for all the good times and friends we made along the way. So long, and thanks for all the clicks.

Terminal7 83: End the Run

In the penultimate episode of Terminal7, Nels and Jesse are joined by Run Last Click to say goodbye to our dear departed friend, Mister N. E. T. Runner.

Terminal7 82: The Velvet Underground of Games

Terminal7 returns to Reign &amp; Reverie! This time, the Runner side of things are discussed, include one precocious youth who hates cards, a troubled psychic clone and one very loud senator. Special guest Paul Gross joins Nels and Jesse to discuss the final half of the final expansion for Android: Netrunner.

Terminal7 81: Tiny Boys Have Tiny Hands

The final Netrunner expansion, deluxe or otherwise, is upon us and Nels and Jesse dig into the Corp side of Reign &amp; Reverie. Pressing questions like "What is the Sportmetal ball's shape" and "Why did we program these artificial bees to sting" are examined, as well as some pretty sick cards.

Terminal7 80: The Most Lascivious Cat

Well, all things must come to an end. And to this, Netrunner is no exception. The license for the game from Wizards of the Coast has expired without renewal, meaning Netrunner will end in October of this year. Nels and Jesse parse the details and, undeterred, also discuss Kampala Ascendant!

Terminal7 79: Something Terminal Alright

Nels and Jesse visit Owen Falls and explore the Whispers in Nalubaale. Come meet our new friend Freedom, but uh, maybe don't book a hotel in Mwanza.

Terminal7 78: A Different Kind of Parasite

Nels and Jesse were lost in the shifting sands of the desert, but have made their way back out with not one, but two data packs clasped beneath their burnoose. Council of the Crest *and* The Devil &amp; The Dragon are within, and with it, the great quandary of what the "O" in SSO actually stands for.

Terminal7 77: Back in the Elephant Saddle

It seemed like it would just be a slow boat down an ivory river but a surprise MWL update makes this jaunt most exciting. Nels and Jesse break down just exactly how hard CI got kicked and then head Down the White Nile to meet new royalty.

Terminal7 76: False Pamplemousse

Groggily risen from hibernation by wild dogs crying out in the night, Nels and Jesse return to discuss the first pack of the new Kitara Cycle Sovereign Sight. What intrigues will transpire on the shores of Lake Victoria?

Terminal7 75: Africa is Full of Snakes

Nels and Jesse make some unorthdox predictions about Worlds 2017 and invite you to do the same, for fame, glory and prizes!

Terminal7 74: Unorthodoxically Predicted

Nels and Jesse talk about the card game Netrunner and its strategy, design and everything else fascinating about it.

Really going to miss this podcast. Just a wonderful interplay between these two hosts, and flawless production values. It&#39;s like an old friend moving away :(

The Best

Awesome

Terminal7

Chris and Eady from Run Last Click come over to Terminal7's house for the holidays, where we discuss 2015 in Netrunner. From Order &amp; Chaos to Data &amp; Destiny, with a delicious SanSan sandwich in between, what a year 2015 was. Highlights, lowlights and one very musical interlude await!

Terminal7 43: Carved the Eyes Out of My Head

The buzzing conversation was halted by a chorus of knives tapping on champagne glasses. "Chairman Hiro-sama is pleased to announced a revolutionary new treatment for Toxic Allergy Syndrome, developed by the Jinteki corporation's Harmony division. But of course, this breakthrough would not be possible without your extremely  gracious support, without which Jinteki's charitable works would not be possible."Tori Hanzō glanced at the live feed, and noticed the tall blond woman in a red dress give a slightly too familiar glance to a silver-haired waiter. The exotic and glamorous locations for these fundraisers - never held in same place twice- made their connections notorious difficult to secure. Tori expected an intrusion to be detected within three minutes, but her calm was that of an unbroken pond. Resembling the shīsā that stood sentry on rooftops in her Okinawan hometown, Tori knew the newly developed ICE she had just activated would be more than adequate to ward off bad spirits, whatever form they may take.Honour &amp; Profit has arrived! And Quintin Smith of Shut Up &amp; Sit Down joins Nels and Jesse to gingerly scamper across this new digital minefield. Is Jinteki deadlier than ever? Are the Criminals more replete with tricks and unorthodox tactics than ever before? Lucky episode 13 discovers the answers to these questions ... unless that was just another bluff?

Terminal7 15: That Mechanical Meat

Dean Lister

Nels and Jesse are back of a bit of a scheduling fiasco to discuss the cards from Terminal Directive as just general parts of the card pool. And, more importantly, they attempt to discover if one truly can be chosen from birth to become a provost.

Terminal7 64: Dean Dean Lister

The release of Double Time sees the Spin Cycle come to a close. Filled with powerful but time-consuming double events, will these prove to be a lucky find for the runner or much needed corporate shuffle for the faceless bureaucracies? Nels &amp; Jesse find out and you should come along!

Terminal7 11: Your Parade of Imbeciles

Nels and Jesse go Up &amp; Over to see what the fourth data pack in the Lunar Cycle has in store. From the unlimited energy at reasonable prices of Blue Sun to the vicious precision of Switchblade to the interesting - yet baffling - Angel Arena, Up &amp; Over is clear that the moon has not given up all of its secrets quite yet.

Terminal7 19: That's Just My Presumptuousness

Nels and Jesse look at the design, theme and iconic cards of the Jinteki corporation, with the rest of the factions to come in the weeks ahead.

Terminal7 4: Like the Prawn

Netrunner is characterized by its diverse and friendly communities, all with their own quirks, tales and personalities. To celebrate this - and the Netrunner World championships this past weekend - Nels &amp; Jesse talk to friends around the world about their local metas, why they are interesting and what makes them excited to play the game.

Terminal7 20: Your Local Meta

Our first meat-space guest, Klei and BioShock: Infinite designer Seth Rosen joins Nels and Jesse to talk about tips for newcomers. With the complexity of a game like Netrunner, learning how to play is just one step down a long cyberroad to victory. But perhaps Seth will help folks, new and veteran alike, get a little further down that path.

Terminal7 8: Eventually Your Breathing Will Stop

Nels &amp; Jesse traveled to the Game Developer's Conference and talked to a ton of our favourite Netrunner players. First, Anthony Burch of Hey Ash Watcha Playin' and lead writer of Borderlands 2 and Paul Dean of Shut Up &amp; Sit Down discuss their recent arrival to the game. Next Charlene Putney and Theresa Duringer discuss their strategies and perspectives. NYU's professor arrives next to Frank Lantz talk about The Local Meta and his thoughts on the game.

Terminal7 6: We are the Homunculus

After a brief hiatus, Terminal7 returns to talk blood and money. The most impactful datapack in quite some time, a fuchsia kitten, Genghis' legacy and one dedicated report means the fallout from the 23 Seconds Incident is just starting to be felt. This is the beginning, not the end.
