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 1998

A website that hosts videos of video game speedruns, with runs of more than 1,100 games.

Until 2015 it hosted the Awesome Games Done Quick and Summer Games Done Quick marathons. Nine charity events raised over $2.7 million, including just over $1 million for the Prevent Cancer Foundation at AGDQ 2014.

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.
