Kotaku's new design.

GuyInWhite · 2011-02-11 22:06:59

Jeez, Gawker, when the folks at freaking Penny Arcade hate your layout, you know you've fucked up.

DYRE · 2011-02-11 22:17:11

-goes to kotaku.com-

...Um... wow.

What was wrong with the old design? I remember it being fine. I don't see why they needed to change it.

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-11 22:20:05

Ouch. Why? Why would you do that?

Tachikaze · 2011-02-11 22:35:14

What the...?

Why the hell would anyone do something like that?

Icalasari · 2011-02-12 00:32:31

...It looks exactly the same here. Of course, I keep getting ca.kotaku.com...

EDIT: Got the us one

Holy crap

Uh, guys, try ca.kotaku.com. Maybe it's close enough to old Kotaku?

Gelzo · 2011-02-12 00:35:10

I think I could get used to it.

But maybe I shouldn't have to.

Icalasari · 2011-02-12 00:36:08

Gelzo: Like I said, try ca.kotaku.com. It's closer to the old Kotaku design

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-12 00:36:21

My problem is less with the layout and more with the awful lag it's giving me.

Gelzo · 2011-02-12 00:40:58

I stopped reading Kotaku when I decided I had enough video games. Also I'm in college.

The only reason I knew about the design is because I wanted to check for news about the next Pokemon games.

Icalasari · 2011-02-12 00:45:50

Gelzo: Use Serebii.net or Bulbapedia for that

Gelzo · 2011-02-12 01:12:34

I'm aware of those. I just wanted to check for more general news.

Trash_Vortex · 2011-02-12 07:36:00

uk.kotaku is also how it used to be.

Kotaku actually kinda sucks, though.

occono · 2011-02-12 08:57:43

It's a change in the Gawker layout, it's not just to Kotaku.

snowbull · 2011-02-12 11:37:08

I never browsed kotaku, but now I sure ain't gonna start.

Anonus · 2011-02-12 16:32:21

^^^I had noticed it a few days ago.

I hate it, it's cumbersome, unintuitive, and seems like it would crash peoples' browsers. It reeks of the New Twitter design, as well. Dammit, does every fucking website have to be structured like a mobile application anymore?

snowbull · 2011-02-12 21:06:56

I for one welcome our shitty ass cell phone website overlords.

Anonus · 2011-02-12 21:08:57

stockholmer :P

...Somebody should make a site. make it really popular, then swap the mobile and normal site layouts

No clue why. Just... Somebody needs to do it

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-13 01:12:02

That would be some epic trolling.

Anonus · 2011-02-13 01:27:20

It's YouTube's next step, I'm telling you.

Central Avenue · 2011-02-13 01:42:20

^ Nah, YouTube trolls its users enough already.

Electivirus · 2011-02-13 10:57:35

They managed to make a bad site even worse. Props.

Anonus · 2011-02-13 13:55:21

I wouldn't know how it sucked before, for I seldom go to the Gawker sites (I took a trip to Gizmodo like a week ago and it just seemed parroted from Wired).

snowbull · 2011-02-13 16:37:37

What will youtube's next, pointless step be? Everything done in flash?

Trash_Vortex · 2011-02-13 17:03:43

On the PS3 and Wii, that's already the case. It also picks the wrong video when you click it.

snowbull · 2011-02-13 17:12:17

How about everything done in Microsoft Silverlight?

DYRE · 2011-02-13 17:26:57

The website would be a 3D website navigated with FPS controls.

Made in Java.

Trash_Vortex · 2011-02-13 17:27:39

^ I have been to such a website (Minus the Java)

ClockworkUniverse · 2011-02-13 17:29:15

I'd find that rather easily navigable, though perhaps most wouldn't.

DYRE · 2011-02-13 17:39:13

I certainly wouldn't. Or at any rate it'd certainly be more tedious and annoying than just having a typical website.
And yet, there are people who seem to think things like that are a good idea.

snowbull · 2011-02-13 17:40:19

CYBERSPACE IS ALREADY HERE

Howdy, Stranger!
