What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2004

An American site covering hard rock and heavy metal, with news and video interviews.

It began as a public-access TV show in Brooklyn, made by Frank Godla and Robert Pasbani, before moving online. It officially launched on 1 January 2004 and has belonged to The Orchard, part of Sony Music, since 2022.

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.
