What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1997
An irreverent games humour and review site by Erik Wolpaw and Chet Faliszek, mocking stale design habits and games that were praised elsewhere.
Its April 2000 'Start to Crate' score counted the seconds before a game's first crate. Valve's Gabe Newell cited it while making Half-Life 2 and hired both writers in 2005; they went on to write Portal and Left 4 Dead.
In 1997: Erik Wolpaw and Chet Faliszek founded the site this year.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
