Ok, my last layout was kind of confusing so I tried to make something that was easier to use. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

I kinda like it. Certain parts are pretty cool, I think the red omnious glare from the edges looks fairly neat in their own right, the site seems to be a little… dark… angry… I suspect that’s the look you were going for? The way the three sections are drawn looks good as well.
But I have some thoughts on things I don’t like. The two, imo, really annoying things first: I really hate the lame popup, it’s completly intrusive and usually makes me go for ALT-F4 immediately. It’s only because of a bug in IE that allows me to hit F11 twice so that I can resize the window that I even ended up going further. I see no reason for it being there.
2nd thing to turn to completly turn me off was the loud noise suddenly coming from my speakers. You may like that sort of thing, I don’t. You’re obviously welcome to play it just the same :), I’m just saying not everyone will neccessairly want that filling their ears. Maybe as an opt-in instead? Ie. start the music muted, but allow it to be turned on…
Much less terribly annoying, but still not something I enjoy, is the long waits going from one area to another. You just sit there, waiting for the interface to collapse to a cube, rotate, and redraw. The actually drawing, as mentioned, looks fine… it’s just… it’s good the first time things start up, but it gets old real fast imo.
And even less bad, it’s just something I don’t personally care much for, is that you display images in a seperate pop-up window. If someone’s linking images at a small resolution to their full-size counterparts through a popup window, so be it, but only being able to see the images through a popup?.. idunno… it doesn’t appeal to me. Personal preference perhaps?
… I hope I didn’t come off sounding too bitter 
It’s not a bad site at all really, I just wanted to point out the things I didn’t find appealing.
