On another note, this site is seriously well-designed. It may be the best-looking videogame website I have seen.
Even if you aren't a videogame person, you should check out the site for its smashing look.

DotA2's "Spoils of War"[1] page feels like a better crafted website - characters and images are not constrained by the boundary boxes of each section, making it feel far more fluid and flexible than just "images go in this box here".
I'm not surprised Valve's page aesthetics are so high. They put a lot of thought into design. I'd highly suggest checking out their DotA2 character design guide[2] even if you're not interested in game design -- the vast majority of it is about proper branding and colour schemes.

I think this feels really polished by comparison, which is a nice surprise.
It has some weird scaling on the iPad, though.
