What it does
Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.
Each round end fires as every round finishes.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2007
A Los Angeles artist collective that edits camp, dated clips from VHS tapes found in thrift stores, garage sales and bargain bins.
Founded in 2007 by friends from Ohio University, it also collects copies of Jerry Maguire on VHS (about 14,000 by 2017, over 40,000 by 2023), aiming to build a pyramid of them. It tours with its films and a puppet show.
In 2007: Started this year; a face-mask infomercial set to 'You Are So Beautiful' helped get the site noticed.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
