Post-apocalyptic Escapist

[Doctor VonSexMachine]

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?

Might be. However the Who Run Escapist Town thing doesn't seem to fit in very well with what I've seen of the game thus far.

I think its for Fallout: New Vegas.

Actually I kind of like it. Much better than their previous ones.

It's a quote from Mad Max 3. It originally was "Who runs Barter Town?".

OT: This thread has already been done.

Look's good. I like the new theme just as much as the old one.

This week's issue [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/apps/features/] is called "The Day After" which is celebrating the end of the world, within games and with them. We thought it would be cool to do this.

Love it. A good change, and it fits in so well.
Doesn't feel as if it's looped either.

It completely fails to work in Firefox.

A lot of the text is black on a black background.

I just tried in in IE8, and while it's readable, it still looks awful

 

[ThreeKneeNick]

I don't know. It looks like a game promotion. It's nice, but it's not the escapist.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I like it, but im glad its not permanent.

 

[Cpt Corallis]

It looks like Belfast.

I resent that remark! It's true maybe but I still resent it.

OT: Really like the layout, the red looks really nice for the tabs and text.

 

[Armored Prayer]

I... I... love it! Much better than their previous ones.

Well, that's what I came here to say. I'm also glad it's not going to be a permanent look.

EDIT
I shouldn't take so long to write

Which I find funny, because it totally could've been a promo for New Vegas haha.

Wow. I've been surfing the site for the last hour and didn't notice the change until I saw this thread.
I'm Pants On Head Retarded!

It works fine for me in Firefox. On the other hand, if you're running an ad blocker it might not work correctly for you. If that's the case, too damn bad.

I like the look of rust and I love blue. Perfect combination, I'd say.

I especially love the rustic tabs.

Ditto. They add such a nice feel to everything around.

 

[silver wolf009]

It looks good but i sort of miss the blue.

 

[Soxafloppin]

It looks like Belfast.

Eerily similar.

Sure does! My Escapist matches my Wall paper! hah!

 

[Urgh76]

I don't like it Too much hate.

Also this person runs the Escapist Town: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view
