Am I the last person to know about this?

[Roto13]

Click your START Button and then RUN.

Write TELNET hit enter once.

Write the single letter "o" and click enter again.

Write towel.blinkenlights.nl and hit enter again.

[SammieBabe]

No. I have no idea what you're talking about. And when I tried it, it said something about unable to connect or something...

[Roto13]

Make sure you're typing "TELNET" and not "TELENET" as many people seem to do.

[eestlinc]

does it show the whole "movie"?

[Faris]

You were not the only person who did not know about this. Wow. This is amazing xD Ironically I've been watching all the movies lately.

[Dignified Pauper]

ZOMG WOWZERS


does it show the whole "movie"?

[Sylvie]

This is awesome. :bounce:

[SammieBabe]

Yeah. Still didn't work. I'll try it when I get home.
Stupid work computers....

[Raven Nox]

Wow, that wasn't what I was excepting. xD That's pretty cool. Sadly, I don't have the patence to watch it all right now. xD *makes mental note to do so later.*

[kikimm]

Yuck Star Wars.

It's pretty cute though, whatever cute is worth.

[Roto13]

It doesn't show the whole movie, but it shows most of it. :p

[Zeromus_X]

Heh, never knew about that. Kinda scary...

Anyway, I don't have time to watch the entire movie. :p

[Hambone]

that is strange

[Lynx]

didnt work for me

[mooglebunni608]

what? I have no clue what you mean.... star wars? start button? Am I just being stupid?

[Mitch]

uuu its teasy

[YukiKiro]

I've seen this once before but I couldn't remember how to get to it again.

[Rase]

That's so awesome.

[StarChild]

this is the best thing...ever!

[Giga Guess]

Oh dear...

[NeoCracker]

Just started it, its wierd

[Leeza]

Amazing. :)

[McLovin']

That was hard to make.

[Rengori]

Awesome. Just awesome.

[Samuraid]

Someone has far too much time on their hands. :D

[Slade]

My god that was cool! I wonder if it plays the whole movie?

[Shlup]

Ah, I was wondering where this was! I haven't seen it for years. Thanks for reminding me! *glee*

[superflyy]

whoa! This is crazy stuff! :D

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Wait. What? I have no idea what you are talking about.
Kinda makes me wish I had windows instead of linux.

[Sefie1999AD]

Neat, Star Wars Episode IV with ASCII characters. :D Pretty well done, although the scenes are a lot shortened (that was quite expected, though). The human characters don't look that recognizable, but Threepio and R2D2 actually look pretty great.

[Jojee]

lol :p That amused me for like five minutes before I got bored.

What are ASCII characters?

[Moon Rabbits]

Wow is pretty much all I have to say.

[Captain Maxx Power]

W00tness. I want to see the Death Star run in ASCii right now!

[crono_logical]

I prefer ascii world cup instead :p Just replace the last line with

ascii-wm.net 2006

Of course, there has to be a match going on :p

[boris no no]

xDDD
I wanted to watch it till Luke sees the BURNING BODIES OF HIS FAMILY but my eyes started bleeding so I stopped
But very amusing aside from the blinding experience :D

[drunkymonkey]

That owns. Really, really hard. Someone should do a LOTR one.

[Mittopotahis]

Some people have way too much too time on their hands.

[Levian]

I think I saw Old Manus in there.

[MageLuingil]

That was good for 20 mins free entertainment.

[Ramza Beoulve]

Freaky :)

[SammieBabe]

Someone has far too much time on their hands. :D


Ok. So I got it to work at home, and yes, someone has entirely too much time on their hands...:)

[Bart's Friend Milhouse]

No one told me there were going to be spoilers in this :mad2:

[Avarice-ness]

Omg! Amazing. <3!!!

[Imperfectionist]

WOW...that's like..the coolest thing i've seen all day....

[Resha]

Haha oh my god o_o kinda creepy. No, evidently :p You're not the only one. I was clueless~

[Avarice-ness]

Okay.. Luke's hair is a ~ Obi Wan's is a = Hans hair is ''' Chewie looks -awesome- xD Leia's hair is @ and Darth Vader looks like a duck.

Much coolness.

[DynasticJam]

I forgot about this, yes I have seen it before, but that was quite a while ago! Thanks for the info :)

[Yamaneko]

I prefer ascii world cup instead :p Just replace the last line with

ascii-wm.net 2006

Of course, there has to be a match going on :p
Too bad you can't tell what the heck is going on during the field shots. Up close it looks remarkably well.

[Marly]

that is pretty cool. shame i'll never have the patience to watch it all.

[Old Manus]

I think I saw Old Manus in there.
I think I saw Levian referencing Old Manus in loads of his recent posts :cool:

[Xaven]

...I got bored, but it was fun for a minute or two. :D

[StarChild]

that is pretty cool. shame i'll never have the patience to watch it all.

I did...does that mean I have no life or I just have a lot of patience? :confused:

[Evastio]

I think I'm the last person to know about this. Not you.

[StarlightAngel]

lol :p That amused me for like five minutes before I got bored.

[Loony BoB]

I'll try it when I get home.
Stupid work computers....
I hear that. *makes note*

[drunkymonkey]

LOL, what are you going to do? Bomb work computers?

[Shaun]

What are ASCII characters?

The way to simply think of ASCII characters is all the romanised characters and their symbols.


$" *.
d$$$$$$$P" $ J
^$. 4r "
d"b .db
P $ e" $
..ec.. ." *. zP $.zec..
.^ 3*b. *. .P" .@"4F "4
." d" ^b. *c .$" d" $ %
/ P $. "c d" @ 3r 3
4 .eE........$r===e$$$$eeP J *.. b
$ $$$$$ $ 4$$$$$$$ F d$$$. 4
$ $$$$$ $ 4$$$$$$$ L *$$$" 4
4 " ""3P ===$$$$$$" 3 P
* $ """ b J
". .P %. @
%. z*" ^%. .r"
"*==*"" ^"*==*""


In many cases, more symbols are used like on this bike. And no, I haven't been able to check the video. I'm not fortunate enough to have an Internet connection and this library won't let me load telnet. ;x

Edit 2: I forgot about setting it to code! Thanks to whoever did that. ;)

[bipper]

you seen or knew everything a while ago :rolleyes2 Yet you make a thread named "Am I the last person to know about this?". We are far behind your coolness, you have established this! Don't rub it in our faces:mad2:

<3ipper

[SammieBabe]

LOL, what are you going to do? Bomb work computers?

No, but I'd drop kick it off the twelfth floor of our building if I wouldn't get fired...:)

[Dr Unne]

Is there an SSH version?

[Roto13]

[Loony BoB]

Edit: WTF? The formatting on this forum sucks!
Code tags are wonderful things. I edited your post.

[Shaun]

Aaah, thanks BoB. :p Learn somethin' new every day.

[bipper]

SSh is a secure shell equivilant to telnet save for its offering encrypted connections to remote hosts or servers. Encryption = more secure.

[Blitz Ace]

this sux, i cant make it work... it keeps saying "Could not open connection to the host on port 23: Connect failed". can someone make it work?? i really wanna see this.

[41-Inches-Wide]

HAHAH I <3 THIS. :DD :DD Way fantastic.

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

[Roto13]

Well, the person who told me about it was pretty much acting like everyone in the world knew about it but me, so... yeah. :p

[bipper]
