It is a bit painful on the eyes, but it's interesting to see someone like that talk about it.

Heh, I was actually going to, but I only read the first bit and it was short enough to not bother me.

I just used "select all". Turned it into white text on a dark-blue background.

BTW, for those who want some more context on this info right from the start, UbiSoft + Dating Sim = Sprung, of course.

Wow. You guys totally missed the point.
Remember when on the tech specs list of the DS Nintendo listed "60 fps graphics" as a "feature" and we were all like "lol what a newb comment."

Note how this guy says... "the hardware forces games to be 60 fps"

No, I don't recall ever saying "lol what a newb comment"

Well, what if on the GCN's tech specs on nintendo.com it said "featuring 60 fps graphics!"
Anyway, at least that explains why the DS port of Asphalt (from N-gage) ran at a perfect 60 fps while the N-gage version barely moved.. Of course the power had something to do with it.. But I'm glad Nintendo "garaunteed" us good frame rate. Since now we have the potential of online lag... I can't even imagine Perfect Dark multiplayer framerates.. shudder.

As an Opera user I simply clicked the "disable CSS" button and had the text black on white.

That has an awfully large overlap with Linus' complaints list about why implementing the Kernel in C++ is bad. Though I love the OOP quote...

"He's hung up on the notion that an emulator is "supposed to emulate the time correctly.""

HAHAHAHA! Oh, the joys of dealing with managers... I assume that guy is a manager, anyway, a dev that stupid would've hit redundancy months ago.

Besides, if you look at those times mentioned you'd see that EA's practices aren't really uncommon and devs rarely have a problem with that (if they have they usually don't do those hours, quite a few people at EA work normal shifts and have done so for years).

The guy seems to be an European as he was a demoscener and there is no demoscene in the US.
