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.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2010
An interactive film for Arcade Fire's song We Used to Wait that asked for the address of your childhood home and built its scenes from Street View.
Chris Milk made it with Google Creative Lab, launching it on 30 August 2010 to show off HTML5 in Chrome. Time named it one of the 30 best music videos of all time, and it won a Grand Prix at Cannes in 2011.
In 2010: Launched on 30 August. At the end, viewers wrote a postcard of advice to their younger selves.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
