I think 6 levels of indentation is a wee bit too much ;-) Can I volunteer
you to extract the vblank stuff here into little helpers? In helper
functions we can easily switch from

if (foo) {
	...
}

to

if (!foo)
	return;

...

which should further clarify the code. And you could also split up the
comment and put it right to the different conditions without leading to
confusion.
