It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1999
A film and video website that began by putting independent short films online and later became a home for viral video clips.
Before YouTube arrived in 2005 it was one of the main places to watch viral videos; Triumph the Insult Comic Dog first spread there. Viacom bought it for $49 million in 2005 and merged it into Spike.com in 2008.
In 1999: By August it held over 450 films and had offices in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, with more than 40 staff.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
