Holy shit. I'm amazed somebody would take the time to do that. Impressive for what it is though.

There are encoders that do it for you, so someone didn't create each individual frame. However... it is still amazing that someone took the time to make the encoder. :smirk: You can find tons of movies clips done this way. IIRC, the Spiderman one was pretty good.

Also try the following: go to Start > Run > "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" minus the quotes and hit OK.

This thread needs to be deleted immediately. That ASCII movie clearly depicts scenes from the movie "The Matrix" and is in direct violation of copyright law. I have no doubt they were made without proper permission from the MPAA and so neglected correct bureaucratic procedure.

I've already contacted GSI and the MPAA with a link to this thread and that site.

Nightshade, sorry to see you go buddy. You'll be missed greatly.

What a really shitty attempt to hide your massive nerdness. You knew about that website before I did because you spend all your time on the internet, deal with it. :lol:
