What it does
On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 1999
An Australian video game news site that also ran LAN events and served as a place to download game files.
Mammoth Media created it in 1999 as a landing point for local gamers. It survived the first dot-com crash, and on 11 November 2023 its co-editor published a final article saying the site was closing.
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.
