What it does

On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2005

A Chinese video-sharing site, based in Shanghai, whose name means Potato Net.

It went live on 15 April 2005. By September 2007 it served over 55 million videos a day, moving more than a petabyte of data daily. Youku agreed to acquire it in 2012.

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.
