What it does

On reveal: Enemy cards here lose all the Power they've gained, and their Ongoing effects stop.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

Silence switches off a lane's Ongoing effects.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2003

A humour site of Flash cartoons, games and viral videos, started in 1998 in Webster, New York by Eric Bauman and his father Neil.

Its celebrity soundboards played quotes at the click of a button. HandHeld Entertainment bought it in August 2007 for $15 million up front. It now belongs to Literally Media.

In 2003: Eric Bauman faced legal threats from several companies over trademarked names and copyrighted audio, including in the celebrity soundboards.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
