This post is likely a bit overdue. If you haven't noticed by now, the engineers have been fooling around quite a bit on the Whiskey Media sites' design over the last several weeks. Right now those changes only show up on Giant Bomb and Screened, but expect the rest of the network to receive these same updates relatively soon. In general, most of these redesigns have been met with approval, but I felt now was a good time to explain the thought process since we're planning to do a lot more pixel pushing in the next few months.

In general our team tries to accomplish the following every time we start a redesign project:

Remove clicks and make the content more accessible.Provide a better experience for the subscribers that support us.Be pretty.

Today Alexis and Mike launched a new video hub that hopefully hit all three. The page looks the same for subscribers and regular members but in use they are drastically different. Rather than explain it, check out the video below. Put simply, we removed page-loads completely for subscribers so that they can get from video to video much faster.
