What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1999
A volunteer-run fan site with news and information on Half-Life, Half-Life 2, their mods and other Valve games.
Kevin 'Fragmaster' Bowen founded it. At one point it was the largest of GameSpy's Planet Network. After Glu Mobile bought GameSpy Industries the network stopped working and the site fell into disarray.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
