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 1996
An American video game news site, with news, reviews and a busy reader forum called the Chatty.
Steve Gibson began it in 1996 as Quakeholio, a fan site for id Software's Quake. The Chatty, its threaded comment forum, still counts regulars from those early days.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
