LOL that is awesome

I got that in another pc forum.

Was it supposed to do something? It just sat there, and then command prompt disappeared. Did I miss something?

Lets see...

Rookie + website I have never seen before + telnet = not a bloody chance in hell.

Don't click on it. Copy " telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl " and paste it on Run. It suppose to show an ASCII version of Star Wars Episode IV.

It just said connecting to Blinkenlights for a bit then the window closed itself. :confused:

well it works for me....Its those stick man starwar movie thingy. It looks pretty good.

EDIT damn its pretty long. saw 7-9 mins and is still playing.

whoa very cool :)
thanks

That wass cool.. It looked like it took a lone time to do that.

It's the whole fucking movie.

Good God. No time for watching that tonight! Nice find, though.

I saw this a little while back... I watched the whole thing... Very well done.

That is the most impressive ascii movie I've ever seen! About 2x better than the matrix one.

The whole movie? :eek: damn I only saw around 10 mins then I stopped it. Maybe I'll finish it later.

Hahah nice... now THAT is a true nerd... :)

Someone has WAAAAAY too much time on their hands...but it's still cool.

I just clicked on it and it worked. I don't know what's worse, that I took the time to watch the entire thing or that someone took the time to make the entire thing.

Wow, this is great, I'm impressed!

That's insane.
Heh. I'm glad I lost the connection to the host or I probably would've watched the whole thing.

Impressive...but, I gotta agree with the "WAAAAAY too much time on their hands".

Most impressive. Me likes.

But seriously, that had to take a shit ton of time to make.

and theres me only ever using telnet to check mail! who knew i could watch star wars too?!!! amazing....;)

Lol the wonders of Telnet

Should have been SSH! Don't want hackers peeking into my StarWars watching!! [/sarcasm]

Clicking the link worked for me (opened a terminal window and started playing).

Anyway, pretty cool!

This is the original version, in a java applet.

the force is on his side, very cool.

Ohhh.. somebody ring the MPAA! This is definite copyright infringement!

Pretty cool though hehe.

Wow, just, wow. Any guesses as to how many weeks/months that must have taken? I'm leaving it up on the screen all day, just peeking in on it every once in a while. It just keeps going...

This is so freakin' cool.

I am ashamed to admit I was actually voicing some of the parts.....:)

So do you know how long did it take to do that?

I saw someone said it took 5 years in another forum but I don't believe him though.

That's pretty cool. I didnt have the time to watch the whole thing, but I'm guessing I wouldnt have been dissapointed.

Woah. Impressive. And I thought I got bored at work!!

What's more impressive, is the machine running it:
