What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 13 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2005
A video site for independent web series that gave producers tools to host, distribute and earn money from their shows.
Mike Hudack, Dina Kaplan and three co-founders started it on 5 May 2005 after meeting in Yahoo's video blogging group. It passed 100 million views in 2010, was bought by Maker Studios in 2013 and closed on 20 August 2015.
In 2005: Founded on 5 May; its first interface was built in a week, and the founders paid for it themselves for the first year.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
