Linkthrough #2, May, 9, 2011 Yo yo, here I go again. Twas time to check through all the links and see if some were down or gone or changed and so on. And who knows what else of interest is happening all over the globe and net right about now? Here's the update. - CyberDevil ANIME - 'Anime Detour' over at AllAnime, check it out! - AniFreak guts some new thumbnails for all the sites. Doesn't look better, but WTH, a change is a change. - Anime Jump is coming soon. That's what it said the last two times I checked, if it's no different next time I'm removing it, even though it was so formerly glorious. What happen MAN?! - Gotta love the new ANN layout. AniDB is growing to replace it though, fast. - Anime Planet has a new layout too, the mascot inbetween the logo and the rest of the laout, integrated with the background. Looks great. - Is it just me or is that a new face @ Anime Secrets? - Anime Paper looking sezier than ever. - New layout for Anime sensei, smooth grey/white, very simple. Images all fade out, very easy on the eyes. - Anime Woot probably has the best layout though. Best layout ever. - What's with all the ad adds? It's a goddamn flood. - Taka Fansubs is getting a new logo, looks great. ARTISTRIES - Bengal really is gone! Shame, there was some great art there. - Depthcore added a new rotating background graphic for the logo, really detailed psychadelic designs. I like. - Deviant Art keeps changing, better and better! Same with all the other sites in this category actually, just small details... except zLope. COMMUNITES - Half of these are so ad-cluttered they're not even worth visiting. - Praise to the ones who aren't: Bebo, Facebook, Netlog, Orkut & Twitter! PEOPLE - None of the bloggers I'm following have updated anything cept the two company blogs in the list. All dead? Or is it just summer? APPLICATIONS - Plock & E-Tim are really evolving, check em out if you need em. CODECS - The one site listed just got a big upgrade. Huzzah! Looks great! FLASH - Kirupa finally moved onto the next generation. Great layout! Just such a site of such status should have. :) - Oh yeah, Mochimedia got an upgrade too. So did PushButton & FontSpace. ICONS - New remodeling on Icon Archive & Iconpedia. Looking good! GAMES - Max Payne 3 is OUT! Wish my computer could run it... - Bungie, GameDev, Game Developer, Rockstar Games & team 17 all have new designs. Rock on! - Id Software is hiring... if you're interested - Locomalito has managed to throw together two(2) new games since I last visited his website. They don't look as good as 8Bit Killer, but they do look good. I'm on my way to play as soon as I finish typing this (whole linkthrough). Still haven't played Hydorah either, so that's three(3). Ok enough with the numbers(NR)... - Nifflas is marketing a new game, seems like he made a commercial shift with this release. Traitor! Oh well, Knytt is still amazing. - Check out the new Trackmania trailer. It looks like it's something I want to play some time... MOVIES - Flixter's new layout rocks. No super-big text and form fields and a whole lot of nothing like most Web 2.0 apps, still text, but sorted, neat. It's perfect. - TheMovieDB simplified too, though it's not as slick as ^. MUSIC - E-chords, last.fm, Lolo Lyrics... Stockfuel... all updated. CRIPTS - Gotta love Open Cart! Yeah, I love Open Cart. It looks good. - WTH is Code Works? I know. - Cushy CMS is looking good! New logo, new everything. - CuteNews hasn't changed in a decade. What are they doing with their time? It could be a great CMS, it is, it could be so much better. - New layout for PHP Junkyard too... TORRENTS - Vertor really spiffed it up a bit... - Just when you thought it couldn't get any simpler, Torrentz did. - KickAss Torrents changed domains. Check it. MISc NOTES - Seems like I still had some duplicate links on these pages. They've all been EXTERMINATED! - Remember Totse? The database of illegal activity? Well, now there's Zoklet instead.
