Totally wonky the way that you use a scroll wheel, and it makes the thumbnails at the bottom rotate at lightning speed when you scroll up or down.

Funny enough I think it's the best site they've ever had. They've eliminated a lot of the loathsome tech crap that really isn't appealing anymore. Some of the new stuff is kind of playful and silly, but that's actually pretty refreshing.

Ok so the new design is up now...

The new design is decent enough. I like some of the subtle stuff in the site. Go to Work and hover over the little water bubbles. The water bubble animation is different every time.

Still going strong after all these years. Well done 2a

I wanted to like it, but there's too much going on for my taste. All of that fluff looks like it should've be used for a zoo or a theme park's website. It's distracting and interferes with the work trying to be shown (which is displayed in an already small window). But there seems to be a market for this over-the-top stuff, so good luck to them. Interesting to see they stuck with full Flash... I was wondering what they were gonna do.

Hate to say it, but I think it's perfect for their market, which according to their portfolio (which is strangely off-board on its own html page..), it's video game sites. If I had a video game company I'd totally get them on board.
I just don't like video games, so their phone will remain silent.

It's almost as if they are the creative minds and technology architects behind my ideas...

Pretty well done. There's also different phone and tablet versions with subtle animations, and a nice touch slider.
Cool to see new stuff from them.
...and not to mention all the new backgrounds and stuff for the Bert Bresh to snag.

- I'm positive I ran into pixelranger in Vegas back in 2004 or 05. I noticed some muscular guy wearing the pixelranger tshirt and drunkenly asked...kona

contrary to what a ton of youngsters believe, there are shitload of gigs and contracts out there for interactive such as this. Not everything runs on a browser. :-)

I had an apology demanded of me by Eric Jordan a long, long time ago on a message board. I and others had been critiquing the new Lasik website they created maybe around 2001 or 2002 or something, that generally looked like everything else 2Advanced designed, and I was questioning the irony of 8px bitmap fonts used for all copy on the site. IT WAS A SITE FOR PEOPLE WITH POOR EYESIGHT, obviously, because the entire site was about improving eyesight with Lasik. I can't remember what exactly happened, but I questioned how a designer could ever go down the path that led to the final design that apparently had zero regard for the viewer's possible poor eyesight.
Now that I'm thinking about it, it's amazing how much has changed in 15 years. Concerns for user experience, accessibility, usability, multi-device views - there's almost no way a site of that style would ever be designed again for a client like that. Those wild west days of Flash and web design being so new sure got people a lot of work, but I'm happy to see how things matured as time went on.
- OMFG! HA HA that belong in the blog thread, that is fucking classic man.drake-von-drake
- did you??
Apologize.Ramanisky2 - *scraps new vision site mockup i just spent weeks creating custom pixel font for* :(SteveJobs

- Matured yes, but at the expense of a lot of creativity. Soy candle websites are the same as those of multinational corps. Geometric l/c logos. BOOOOooring.MrT
