I feel like I can juxtapose my biggest problem with this redesign with my biggest problem with Windows.
Over the last 6 or so years, Microsoft has been pushing their operating systems into a "one size first all" solution for all of their potential platforms. They've more or less turned Windows into a service based mobile OS. One Windows for every device. Be it smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop or whatever. What we have now is a far more mobile friendly OS. That's great! I don't use Windows on a mobile device. I use it on a desktop. I don't need or want features and apps designed to make my mobile experience better because I'm not on a mobile device. Not only is it not something I want, it actually hinders my ability to function my desktop as a normal-ass desktop.
The new Giant Bomb site is much more mobile friendly now (granted it's still a little broken on mobile devices). That's great! I don't use the Giant Bomb site on a mobile device. I have apps for that. I use the Giant Bomb site on my desktop(s). This mobile friendly version of the site hinders my ability to function the site on my normal-ass desktop.
Whatever, I'll skip the headache and just go straight into the video page.
Oh, and nothing against the cute, new logo but I'm pretty sure the old logo would whup his ass if he ever met him. I hate to think what the Beast bomb would do to the poor little guy. *shutter*
