People that make articles like this are freakin' artisans, love the page.
- bhaak 13y agoI thought the page was broken or not loading. It showed only a green page. Granted, it is a cool effect but it was really confusing. Sorry, this is the web, I don't need a fucking splash screen. At least make it so that I immediately notice that the content is there.
- mrspeaker 13y agoAgreed. A couple of people here have pointed out that it's broken for them, or they don't like wasted pixels or something (somebody think of the pixels!) - but technical problems aside: this, and the PS4 review change my views of what an online article should be. It obviously doesn't apply to all content, but for a review of next-gen game consoles it really adds a sense of... tactile-ness? I dunno. But they are fantastic!
- nl 13y agoSee the NY Times "Snowfall" article[1] for a beautiful example of this in a wider context. It's a little old now, but was groundbreaking at the time. [1] http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/#/?part=tunnel-creek http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2012/snow-fall/#/?part=tunne...
- sesqu 13y agoI was actually impressed with how lightly broken it was. Despite including half a dozen scripts, I only needed to explicitly load one - the first party one - to read the article. Many sites in this school fall flat without some fourth-party content.
- gabemart 13y agoI feel out of touch for saying this, but I found the page visually exhausting. I don't know exactly why - it's partially because the contrast of the text is too low on the white background and partially because I find extremely long pages disorientating, but that doesn't account for all of it. I'm all for beautiful, elegant presentation, but when it comes to reading a long article I don't want lots of movement and twiddly bits.
- jimzvz 13y agoI agree. It also causes my fans to spin up which isn't very relaxing.
