omg, i just realised that there is actually a use for the cubes in forts, not just scaffolding and stuff like that, but actual use in part of a fort.
i cant get steam runnning at the moment and i couldnt be bothered to wait for image shack to upload a crappily drawn mspaint image, so im gonna draw it right here for you, in ASCII.

Repeating this pattern you can make a bunker/wall the is unjumpable (if you make each block slightly further forward than the previous) and is great for blocking rockets/scout spray. DONT DITCH THE CUBES!!! I MAKE THIS FORT ALL THE TIME AND THE ENEMY IS JUST LIKE... WHOAH, he used the cubes!!!! and they die. So, next time you play sf, use the poor lil neglected cubies, and give them something to do.
