This is really something. For this first time since I started reading it back in 1999 or so, slashdot has changed the look of the site.
This was really disorienting. It’s like seeing another face on Mt. Rushmore. There are some things that you just don’t expect to change.
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
Marvel's Civil War
Team Cap or Team Iron Man? More importantly, what basis would you use for making that decision?
Who Broke the In-Game Economy?
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
Quakecon 2012 Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
I'm not surprised a fighting game has an absurd story. I just can't figure out why they bothered with the story at all.
Maybe it’s not as shocking, but AnimeNewsNetwork just changed their art and color scheme too. Ewwwww. Where’s the cute elfie chick? Who needs all these Naruto clones? And that’s a very… agressive color scheme, guys.
It’s SlashDot XP!
I saw the preview last week, so I knew it was coming. Very pretty, but seems a little distracting. I’ll probably get used to it quickly enough.
I like it – it still has all the classic /. design cues but just looks more professional somehow. Viva la CSS!
It’s a good thing I stopped reading Slashdot two or three years ago. At that time they started reporting things two or three days later than LWN. Never looked back, so I’m happily ignorant about the new layout.
The new ANN looks good, though of course I’d prefer original characters. Using Naruto characters is asking for legal trouble, unless they reached an agreement with ViZ. In that case, good for them!
Gad; the new ANN color scheme is dreadful.

It looks like they were going for a “flames” motif and somehow ended up with “Ketchup & Mustard”.
