What it does
On reveal: Add a copy of this card to your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
The copy is a fresh card, ready to play.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2006
A site that gathers critics' reviews of games, films, TV shows and music and averages them into a single score.
Scores are weighted and colour-coded green, yellow or red. It won two Webby Awards and is the main review aggregator for video games. Some publishers have used its scores to decide whether developers get extra payments.
In 2006: Owned by CNET, which had bought it in 2005.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
