I'm curious as how The New Fat have done their nav menu on this page. The links appear to be rounded, so they match the rounded image. Have they used a hotspot tool or something? I'm used to seeing square links...

Just curious like.

I didn't look at the source but maybe they're using background images, which I hate lols.

Yes they are using image maps and swapping out the entire bar for each button to make it look seemless...
