What it does
On reveal: Enemy cards cost 1 more to play here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 2006
A web series in which Blendtec founder Tom Dickson tested his blenders on things such as golf balls, a rake handle, a camcorder and iPhones.
Marketing manager George Wright came up with it, and the first videos went up in late 2006. It won the 2007 Viral Video Campaign of the Year, and Dickson blended a rake handle on The Tonight Show in March 2007.
In 2006: The first videos went up on Blendtec's website on 2 November; within days a golf ball clip passed 1.3 million views on YouTube.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
