Seems like Doublefine had some self-esteem issues over the weekend because yesterday they debuted, with nary a hint or a song, with their new look.
For many years they had stuck with the specific design of having a flash animated menu at the top, a center panel for the news that stretched down the length of the page, and a sidebar with all their goodies.
But now everything's a little more compact and a little more in-your-face. It's like the website equivalent of rhinoplasty and a boob job- it's looking sleeker, younger, and more able. Things seem more accessible too, no longer do you have to click through menus to get to something, most of it is linked directly on the main page. I really like the "comics" section with the comic creators popping out of hiding, it's very cute and also shows the playful side of Doublefine.
Go to Doublefine and show them some love, let them know that they were always attractive to you, and don't forget the chocolates!
I like it. It'll fit in most browsers easily, it's flashy enough to be eye-catching, and it shows a bit of personality.
