What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 2001
A comic by Brian Clevinger, drawn with sprites lifted from old video games, that began as a parody of the first Final Fantasy.
It ran for 1,225 pages from 2001 to 2010. Its Warriors of Light were meant to hunt four elemental orbs but mostly looked after themselves. It made Clevinger an income and led to his comic Atomic Robo.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2001 page.
