the videos on 31fps are so slow
Its insane to think that weve almost run out of space in the web.. That shows you how much the population is into technology, and my guess is it only gets bigger and bigger.
It is very surprising that so many people are on the internet! It feels strange to think that the internet could stop working because it has so many people on it.
wow some of the things that r happening to the internet are just pain crazy. we need that much more free space on web that we've almost used up the entire thing??? that's ridicules! some of the art that 31 fps is good but it takes too long to load.
wow, I love how he uses colors for the things but black and white for the people! He is a very good artist.
