A cessation of gifs...

While we enshrine the Hope trailer for a little while. I wouldn't mind rotating in good youtube finds rather than gifs, on a longer, schedule, to be honest... and saving the gifs for F5. Thoughts?

The gifs were indeed good for a time, but videos could be an interesting change. As long as (in my opinion) it doesn't become youtube videos that are essentially, Americas Funniest Video rejects. Keeping them more along the lines of trailers or gameplay (or even game glitches) that we're amused/interested in at the time?
I dunno, just my initial reaction/thoughts.

Completely agreed. I was thinking the RDR bird bug would be next because I still laugh every time.
Relatedly, part of the reason for going more spacey in the surroundings was also that, as much as I enjoyed the seasonal colouring, it tired me out FAST, and I'm sure it can be "WUT?" for gamers who are visiting. The videos being game-related will also bring us back to our roots nicely.

ALSO, our perpetual Pez is now hosted on the site rather than photobucket and has a place of honour on the main page. <3

I fixed it so that it doesn't scroll -- do we like it fixed or scrolly? When fixed, it does mean we see less of it. :\

Apparently I've only seen it fixed, since I haven't been on all day. The fixed version is lovely, though.

At first I thought the subject was "Cessation of Gifts" and I was like
but then I realized that the donkey won't let the gifts be ceased.

Okay, I left it a while and switched it to scroll again. Which do we like better!

I personally prefer the scrolling. It's a good background, I like seeing more of it.
