Framerates Matter

An anonymous reader writes "As more and more games move away from 60fps, the myth of the human eye only being able to detect 30fps keeps popping up. What's more, most people don't seem to realize the numerous advantages of a high framerate, and there's plenty of those."

Apparently web servers also matter

I thought I was super badass at street fighter 2 in middle school, then I went to the arcade and saw older kids getting the insane combos on killer instinct. First thing I thought was... wow, you really have to study this stuff to know what you're doing. If only there was some sort of global information network where I could quickly and easily find out what all those moves are.
