Nice rant there on the review and I agree with a lot. Still, Doom and many other Doom Clones were pretty dead comparatively for awhile there commercially at least. However, retro-gaming and the user maps and mods gracing Doom and Duke, Quake and... Are a bit of little miracles for games with a solid foundation and equal parts nostalgia.
Or in other words welcome to the choir, Preacher man.
Hmm

You don't actually see 80 or 65 Hz, but you do perceive them differently due to different timing/optical sampling/filtering that occurs in your eyes and visual cortex.

Poor choice of words, gentlemen, poor choice of words.
So it has come down to semantics has it? fine, nice lessen in vision theory but what most people need to know today, real world, real time computing/display, actual practical implications and for the foreseeable perceivable industry future means..

What does this mean, practically? That if instead of 60 fps you were shown 24 carefully crafted fps (with processing and time shifts to account for your visions' limited bandwidth) you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Dropping frames like it happens on fixed-frequency media is however a far cry from those "idealized" 24 fps, and putting out 60 fps or more is an easier way to compensate, just like 192 KHz audio can compensate more easily and cheaply for recording/playback artifacts than a $1000000 CD player.
So, 24fps = bad and 60fps+ = good? Yes, I'm glad that's cleard up then. Thank you.

and even 60 to 85 is clearly perceivable as an improvement. Even though the human eye supposedly cannot see the difference.
Indeed, I used to get headaches after only a short time on an old CRT then I got a new one and the headaches remained until I found it could operate at 85Hz and it solved my headaches and eye strain. Well, it did little for the headaches caused at times by what I was reading.

About the Fly seeing perceiving so much faster I mean more faster... err, well, when adrenaline kicks in and time seems to slow down. Isn't it that our perceptions just speed up/increase? That's how I figure Neo worked in the Matrix, he simply perceived faster because he could with less bodily constraints...
