This seriously cracked me up. Read it, it even has "physics of a flat earth". :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

At first, I was like "Lol"
Then I was like "I see..."
Then it was all "Prove them wrong..."

I mean, seriously.
There's a theory that the univers is contained within the earth. And it's impossible to disprove at present time.

Theory is this, since people will just start screaming "NO U STUPID RETARD EARTH BE ROUNDZ LOL"
The universe is like a basketball, i's all contained inside it. Our earth i on the inner surface of the basketball, and as you travel away fromt he edge, time slows and distances shrink. Thus, the universe is still infinite.
This theory also dictates, that cutting a hole through the earths crust all the way to the core is the only way to disprove it. And they're right. Unfortunately, if the theory is correct, doing so would kind of cause the universe to "gush out" like air would. Thus ending existance ^^

Well, I've been converted.

Anyway I've heard of this before although have never looked it up. The physics are undeniable.

ps, check out the "hollow earth" related link.

A rendered picture of the Flat Earth model. The white around the outside of the globe is an 'Ice Wall', preventing people from falling off the surface of the earth.
Show me this big ice wall.
Though the universe is inside the earth sounds cool and almost believable, it doesn't really make too much sense.

I don't. They're having the time of their lives, actually being taken seriously.

What we are living in is just an illusion. We are all just puppets in someone's game.

We are all living in the Matrix. Unfortunately nobody has offered any red pills...

I've been offered one from a hobo in the subway. I just ran. I like being inside the Matrix.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
