    It does 90-100 on gridmap but on more taxing maps, for example the east coast it does 55-60

    Decided to do a little bit of testing. Turns out turning off the 60fps limiter and letting vsync do all the work seems to add 5-10fps. Meaning the game now seems to run at 62fps average rather than 55fps on Utah.

    gridmap isn't exactly the hardest map to run, so personally i'd consider using FPS numbers from gridmap to be cheating

    No wonder, if the UK leaves the EU, the value of the Pound will drop. That's because British industry will suffer from taxes and tariffs to export product not just to the EU, but to the US and other countries (The Guardian). The British economy will suffer.

    Its being said that a lot of the votes seem to be in rebellion against the government due to people being displeased with British politics.

    Generally it tends to be poorer areas that are voting to leave such as the north east (where I grew up). I know first hand that there are many not so pleased people in that area because the North of the UK is often ignored when it comes to politics. However I am concerned that they may have shot themselves in the foot, cause if the pound suffers anyone with money to spare still has money to spare even if its worth less, often though a lot of people in the North east do not have money to spare.

    Meanwhile the £ is the lowest it has been since 1985 :p
    Got to say though, I am excited to see what the future holds and to see how this all pans out. Once the initial stuff has sorted itself out.

    EDIT: Brexit has succeeded

    I'm surprised that I'm the first person here to mention Brexit...

    ... and I'm not even British.

    (UPDATE: ninja'd)

    I did an all nighter watching the BBC coverage. I am starting to feel some of the effects of that already. By 5PM I am going to be wrecked.

    On the note of the EU. I voted to stay. But I see potential in leaving and think that if we get it right we could be onto something. However I don't really trust the UK government especially on topics such as digital privacy, equally I quite liked having Human Rights and the right to privacy, when British rights are eventually implemented its going to be very interesting to see what is absent.

    But hey, thank god we have got a plan... Oh, wait a sec :p

    I'm pissing off most of my friends with faux patriotism on Facebook... and many of the images I saved while accompanying POL in watching the results come in. I thoroughly recommend wishing everyone who is disappointed by Brexit a happy Independance Day to cheer them up.

    It went from the below left to what can only be described as the true sound of sadness.


    And this was all after doing an all nighter for the referendum, maybe 19 miles were a few too many xD

    Seems like I had it pretty good weather wise though:

    So, Sky News did this to sum up the referendum. It is rather funny!

    its like an apocalyptic wasteland over here, temples to v8 have been constructed along with rumours of certain members of the populace having been touched by the appendages of valhalla
