What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2008
An American video game site with news, reviews, comics and videos, started by staff from Google, eMusic and GameSpy.
It launched on 26 October 2008 after six months in beta. In January 2010 the board laid off its editorial staff and the chief executive resigned in protest. By 2012 the site was said to be defunct.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
