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.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 2008
Do-it-yourself animation software that turns a typed script into a cartoon, using computer voices; the company was first called Xtranormal.
The Montreal company launched its web movie maker in 2008. Some user videos passed a million YouTube views. It stopped taking new users on 28 June 2013 and shut down that year, and Nawmal bought its assets in July 2014.
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.
