Post-apocalyptic Escapist

[Fire Daemon]

Look around and you'll (hopefully see) a rusted, beaten and broken down Escapist and I've got to say that it looks pretty sweat. I like the reds and the rusted sidebar has this cool 3D-ish effect if I look at it for a while. I hope it stays all week.

What do you Escapists think of this style for the post-apocalyptic issue? Can you even see it, it might be a pub-club only thing. Also, who run the Escapist Town?

It stays all week, and everyone can see it

Also, who run the Escapist Town?

Master Blaster run The Escapist town!

 

[Queen Michael]

I like it very much. Also, it's not pub-club; I can see it.

 

[CakeDragon]

I really like it, love how the bullet-hole things creep onto the sides of the page, and how the toolbars are all cracked and broken.

Yay for external CSS!

 

[More Fun To Compute]

I can see it and I think it looks pretty good. Surprised they went to the trouble for something that isn't an (obvious) ad.

Also, who run the Escapist Town?

My guess is that the Escapist Town is run by the all powerful Russ Pitts (and all knowing, too!).

I like this new look, it's certainly appropriate and fits this week's theme. I'm guessing that it'll only be there for the week, but who knows, maybe we'll get an option to keep it, like a bonus skin for the forums or something.

It's not a publisher club only thing, I can see it as well. I like it, and I like change. Though I'm wondering if it'll stay this way, or it's because of the new edition of the Escapist Magazine?

Edit: Wow, ninja'd for everything, but still, I like it.

MASTER BLASTER! (whoever that is)

Yeah it's pretty cool, keeping the Escapist interesting except for the Mad Max line. I knew this thread was coming, phycic Predator powers.

I think it looks quite cool. Not sure who will run Escapist town but personally I'd nominate Neonbob if there is supposed to be some kind of vote, if not then I shall remain in silent confusion as to its meaning.

Thumbs up! Great new look. I'll miss it when it's gone. I especially love the rustic tabs.

Also, I'm laughing at the "A Thing About Stuff"; it's currently showing the game designer's color wheel. Very funny coincidence.

Master Blaster run The Escapist town!

Master Blaster [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv_wZQJYlo0] you say?

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Yeah, absolutely fantastic design, looks really stylish and the tabs are better than usual.
Also, I'm sure I'm not supposed to get it but why "who run the Escapist Town" instead of "who runs"?

 

[Deadlock Radium]

It looks pretty damn sweet I must say, there should be some layouts each user could choose from, like themes, and this must certainly be one of them or else I'm gonna be angry.

 

[PurpleSky]

I just want to say,wow this looks amazing!The escapist never changed before,for as long as I knew about it.

 

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

I'm about 100% sure it's an ad, but I don't know for what.

Which is kind of counterproductive.

 

[Jonluw]

I don't think the desgin is here to stay.
Doesn't bother me, I like blue.

 

[teqrevisited]

I have no idea what it's for, but it reminds me of "The Deck" level in TR2. All blue deck planks & rusted iron.

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

It's for the post-apocalypse theme this week. Probably something to do with New Vegas.

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

when i first saw the new site design i also saw the add for Fallout: New Vegas so i thought it was because of that?

 

[dommyuk]

It looks cool but now I have to highlight articles and thier discriptions to read them.
