I don't know who created the original Ron "Mario" Jeremy/Nighttrain image, but I just added the guy in front. He was from an ad or something, and that crazy expression was the bud of much humor.

Someone asked about why games are 30 fps or 60 fps, but not 45. So I made a few example images. First, a ball moving at what's supposed to represent 30 frames per second.

However, because of the way most displays work, instead of getting an update every 1/45 of a second, you'd get an update after 1/30 of a second followed by one after another 1/60 of a second, back and forth. Basically, it would be uneven and jerky.
