I see your Colosseum, and raise you some Egyptian Pyramids! Those things were already 2000 years old when the Colosseum was being freshly built.

We can also count on the Great Wall...

But i mentioned the colosseum because its damage was man made, when at a certain point it was partially dismantled to recover the shaped stones. Otherwise it would stand almost brand new! :D

It's a cool structure. The Mrs. and I enjoyed our short time in Rome. It was sad to see the damage that was done to the Colosseum in a short-sighted effort to extract resources from it.

The question that springs to my mind though: Would this be the way the bridge stands after braking down.
Lets say that the bridge deck would collapse or one or both cables brake. This would cause an imbalance in the structural system of the bridge, meaning: the weight distribution over the pylons would be unequal causing (at least) one of the pylons to collapse as well.

The only way for both pylons to be still standing is when both cables brake on multiple places at once. Which is highly unlikely.

Grrr, Imrahil

...okay, first off, you're making an assumption. There are something like a hundred+ bridges in the world that look like that. Second off, just because those LOOK like sagging doesn't mean they are cables coming off of those towers. Many bridges of similar make had steel tubing sections with cables running through the center of them. ... although that said, it does kind of look right for the Golden Gate, just... the towers are too close together.

True, but for the sake of argument I stated them as cables, because the tubes are not adding to the structural stability they only serve as protection of said cables ;)

When faced with a god-like force of evil, your best, perhaps only chance of survival is to distract it with an existential quandary.

@NIGHTBRINGER you didn't tell me that your Horizon game was dutch designed... now I am a little impressed ;)

Because I didn't know. I knew it was made by Guerrilla Games studio, but I never when as far as to look up where the studio was founded out of.

So will you give the game a chance and give it a play through?

Not really a change there. I am not a gamer anymore, I hardly can find the time to hobby so gaming is even harder to find time for ;)
But at least I will be less negative about it.
