What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to the next card you play.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2004

Matthew Perpetua's MP3 blog, posting songs as downloads with short write-ups and links to the artists or places to buy the records.

Started in 2002, it began hosting MP3s at the end of that year. Rolling Stone said almost all MP3 blogs trace their roots to it, and Entertainment Weekly named it among the best sites for finding new music in 2006.

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.
