LOL! The adverts on the Batcave come from Google, so they're targeted based on content in the page. Sometimes it... doesn't quite work perfectly. It's offering me shares in ISSI, a computer part manufacturer, and also an unrelated Issi furniture!
Site looks good. Very dark overall, but that'd be how you want it to look. Everything's readable (save perhaps the captions under the Friends piccies), so it's not a frustrating experience to browse.
On the front page are two images that look photo-quality. Are they drawn/raytraced, or did you hunt down/make actual photos?

Nice work!

Thank you! I actually had fun putting it together. I didn't throw the computer out the window and my sanity is still intact.. somewhat.Originally posted by Aristotle

Just a small gripe Ismenia, it is generally not good website design 'form' to have a music clip playing on page load.
Obviously the standard of internet connections have made this pointer a little less relevant to most.

I think the option of stopping the music is really nice. I know when I went to your old site I would always turn it off and now I don't have that option.

People usually like to control the sound coming out of their computers, especially computer geeks. MySpace has totally forgotten this and created a generation of really bad webpages.
For example, I keep my sound at a specific level. I never go to MySpace when the baby is asleep because people have their music blasting all over the place. It's woken the baby up more than once.
Thus, if you do have music on your page, it's really nice to give people a way to turn it off quickly.

Hmm.. I don't think there is a way to turn it off as the viewer. That means bye bye to my pretty music. That sucks. Oh well.
