What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 2007
A wiki-style site documenting internet memes, viral videos, catchphrases and online celebrities, with a video series.
By 2010 its crowdsourced database was more popular than the videos it began with. Time put it on its 50 Best Websites list for 2009.
In 2007: Created in December as a series of videos on the vlog Rocketboom, each episode explaining one meme.
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.
