Brushes! That's insane..;) 

ricky, what on earth were you doing between 19:50 and 20:04 for your mood to change so dramatically.. 

:) 

played halo against fourteen year old kids, err scampie 

Sorry, I got offended by someone telling me that I was retarded and that I should kill myself, completely out of the blue. 

Daz is spot on. The fucked up ness of Chthon and his face is what makes him a proper, impressive monster. 

40k brushes, a lot or not?

Depends how long the corridor is. 

... of 'normal' architecture will probably become boring without some kind of a natural break.

I've done 40K of terrain brushes that sure looked pretty but played like 30K of unnecessary brushwork.

Oh, I've just twigged it: perhaps change your spiral staircases into lifts :) 

 

Oh! (just pretend that I wasn't here) 

"Depends how long the corridor is. "

Winner. 

"We don't know how they moved the heads. There was a lever and rollers system posited be it proved to be unworkable."

And yet I saw a video where a guy did it.

No, I can't produce a link. You'll just have to believe me. 

Just because one system didn't work, doesn't mean that no system of levers and rollers works. What a stupid argument. 

I mean when you start laterally thinking, instead of 'dayum, we'll never be able to move something that big by dragging it', or 'aliens must have put it there', I guess there are a multitude of ways you could move a gargantuan stone really.

Also Scampie - I take it back, sorry. 

Don't ever apologize to Scampie. 

I also wondered, ricky
he freezed my shrimps and called me a bastard!
then he made me a trisouping scamp. 

It was a low blow. And it wasn't true. So whatever. 

It did work yeah, it was a YouTube video I saw recently that reminded me of it. but they didn't have enough wood to do it on Easter island, so the remaining theory is that they just added more people pushing.

I saw the documentary about it on Easter island :)

Stupid argument? Wasn't arguing. 

They ran out of wood because a) they chopped down half of the trees to make rollers (which have a finite life-span) and b) they used the other half to burn in their trenched during the long-ears and short-ears wars.

At least, that's what a man down the pub told me, and I believe him. 

His wisdom is exceeded only by his knowledge.

'Hamburger Hill' - WIP:

Absolute nonsense really, but I'm learning how to draw 500'000 gibs onto a screen without making the computer shit its pants :) Seems to be working.

If you are a sicko or really impatient, and don't mind the browser shitting its pants, here's a version with 200 soldiers, each expelling 100 gibs on their death, so there are 20'000 particles in the air simultaneously sometimes. But once they 'settle' the speed miraculously recovers (easy way to test 500'000 particle theory anyway):
