What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

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.

Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.

The site, in 2008

A publisher that translates Japanese visual novels into English and sells them online, including adult titles.

It is run by the Japan-based company Japan Animation Contents, and specialises in the English versions of Japanese visual novels, among them eroge, which are adult games.

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.
