# I like
the way it has 'video computer system game program' on it. It sounds like my grandad is explaining what it is.

Edit: Oh, and they vivisected Pacman!

# Sorry, but i must threadjack.
I dunno if anyone else has noticed this, or wether it's just on my PC bu ti'll point it out anyway.
I was playing with my pun anim, and i discovered that if you set a frame time delay to 0.05 seconds or under, it doesn't play at the right speed.
Here's with a 0.05 delay:

Here's with a 0.06 delay:

it's probably just my machine, but for me the 0.06 dealy plays faster and more as i intended it to be.

So is it just me then? or was this already common knowledge?

# it's a frame rate kind of thing
You know. Like if you transfer flash to gifs or try to swallow too many flying saucers at once and you start choking on all the sherbert.

# it's to do with the amount the browser/OS can cope with
some people set gaps at 0s etc and they all get jammed up it's like trying to push cheese through a seive, if you do it with a steady rate you'll get stringy play-doh type things but if you go too fast you'll just get a corrugated plasticene type thing, you remember what I mean.

When I was m3tatweening and tried importing the gifs into video the ones with 0s or small gaps screwed things up a lot.

# yup, i certainly do.
i was mainly just wondering if it was screwing up for me or others as well, so i could try and get the timing right for other people.

# It's one of those things you don't pay much attention to iuntil you are on a didfferent computer
and suddenly you realise this whole time you've had a crap monitor and everything you've done is about 5 times brighter than you thought it was.

# I'm on a Mac
with IE and there's deffo a difference between the two for me. The .06 runs a lot smoother.

Odd.

EDIT: Upon refresh now the TOP one is faster.

Odd.
