What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2008

A US news service launched in 2008 as Newsy and renamed Scripps News at the end of 2022. It is now a free streaming news channel.

Owned by E. W. Scripps and based in Atlanta, it streams free, with adverts, on services such as Pluto TV, The Roku Channel and Samsung TV Plus. It was also a digital subchannel network.

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.
