What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
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.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2004
A daily video blog styled as a short comic newscast, covering web oddities, other vlogs, and social and political commentary.
Andrew Baron's show began on 26 October 2004, hosted by Amanda Congdon. Newsweek put it at 130,000 daily viewers in January 2006, Steve Jobs showed it when the iPod gained video in 2005, and it spun off Know Your Meme.
In 2004: First episode on 26 October; by December it was being downloaded 25,000 times a day.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2004 page.
