I commented on this phenomenon once before. I was getting vertigo, cuz it seems we're looking down a long mineshaft and I lose my balance!

Throw in a couple of 'huge' fonts and we've got ourselves a game.

Oh I see now the limiting factor is width, not length. Pretty soon the inside boxes will have to be one character in width, so instead of squares, we are evolving towards long skinny rectangles. Cool.
