What it does
On reveal: A random card in your hand costs 2 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1997
A website about hoaxes and urban legends, past and present, made by Alex Boese in San Diego.
Boese began it in 1997 and turned it into books, among them Hippo Eats Dwarf. PC Magazine put it in a 2004 list of 100 sites readers did not know they needed.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
