pitchfork

Anything to make the site more readable on an iPhone I guess.

http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/pitchfork_forks_its_logo.php

Brand New readers hate it (as expected).

the logo honestly reminds me of someone reading one of those OMG HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THE ARROW IN THE FED EX LOGO email forwards/message board threads in like 2003 and then like having it stick with them forever as something clever they want to aspire to at the expense of good design

i really hope the site doesn't look like this for the next two years

^ this

the circles around the ratings are new too, aren't they?

i don't like those.

did they make some tweaks to the new design? if they didn't, i got used to it pretty fast, because i think it looks better now

it's a step backwards identity-wise.

^ this. it looks like any of the dozens of third-and-fourth-tier review sites out there. nothing distinctive about it at all.

i literally laughed out loud when I read this:

The clatter of the bones against felt or tabletop is a visceral pleasure. And there's that breathless moment when everything settles and you're reading the results.

Pitchfork is writing purple prose about Yahtzee now

fyi board games are pretty sick

would you say the clatter of the bones against felt or tabletop is a visceral pleasure? and there's that breathless moment when everything settles and you're reading the result?

I can;t even begin to tell you the deep visceral pleasures I felt the last time I played Parcheesi

would you say the clatter of the bones against felt or tabletop is a visceral pleasure?

Every time I click on "Site New Answers."

hmmm the game i usually play has wooden dice

ok wtf i want a column writing abt board games

i play d&d competitively son cmon

lamp have you played dominion yet? played it a ton last week w/ some friends in san francisco, its pretty great

kill screen is a whole sister site full of the early-pfork purplest of prose, yall, so go to town

pitchfork please hire me to write a column where i do tarot readings for indie rockers

how can something clatter against felt

like, what is on that felt to make the dice clatter

gross

lamp have you played dominion yet? played it a ton last week w/ some friends in san francisco, its pretty great

yeah i played a couple of games of it just to get a feel at a boardgames night, got creamed tbh.

the board game that im kinda an evangelist for atm is puzzle strike, which uses cardboard chips instead of cards and is loosely based on the mechanics of 2d fighters. its super replayable and surprisingly deep but also p dense, theres only a small amount of luck involved so it can be a frustrating game for new players

i havent really been feelin dominion ,seems like theres not enough interaction w/ other players compared to e.g settlers of catan? but then maybe i need an expansion pack or something else

it doesnt get really good till you start using the attack cards and then its SUPER fun--i dunno i can see it being something youd burn out on unless you were constantly expanding

still no settlers but lets be real--what is

haha

so is this like the nerd version of 'mtv sports'

jesus christ you have a tumblr to collect your tweets?

that's 'pitchfork has a column devoted to board games' level horrifying

whines I know you're gonna hate but you gotta admit balls has a point here

sorry to be all PRACTICAL but twitter doesn't really archive stuff in the long term and whiney's twitter is kind of famous so maybe give him a break

why would whiney deserve a break on anything, ever

i have no argument there

jesus christ you have a tumblr to collect your tweets?
--balls

That post is collecting other people's tweets, balls
