What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2008

A site of short how-to videos, from writing a résumé to surviving a bear attack, made by in-house staff and paid filmmakers.

Launched on 6 February 2008 by former Google staff, it paid emerging filmmakers $50 a video plus half the advertising on any that passed 40,000 views. Time named it a best website of 2008. It is now dormant.

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.
