What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2004
A Japanese-language blog of satirical news stories that read like real reports but are made up.
Its name means roughly 'fictional newspaper'. The operator, known only as UK, began it as an April Fools' joke in March 2004 and still runs it alone. It won a Media Arts Festival Excellence Award in 2012.
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.
