I know there's a thread with them already, but this deserves a thread of its own.

Before I post it, click at your own risk. It's an amazingly high detailed ascii drawing, that is animated. If you have a slow internet connection, BEWARE (As in uhh...56k and below?)

Craziest thing I've ever seen

Jalain2005-01-24 23:02:11
Speaking of slow connection.. Could you remove some of those figures in your sig?

Ummm.. Just don't remove the one of the girl who's kneeling.. unsure.gif

Where did wizards and the goat thingy from Maedhedros's signature go? Anyway, the movie is the best piece of ascii-art I have ever seen. And it makes my eyes hurt, but it's because I'm tired.

I couldn't see it... Some wierd file, likely zipped, hmm?

And Tuek's sig owns pretty much anything out there. It gets the signature of the week award.

And yay on the Ragnarok characters.
Jalain2005-01-24 23:19:12
Yay, he kept the kneeling girl!
Maedhros2005-01-25 00:28:26
Hmm, for some reason it shows up as a file for some people, it just loads on the internet site for others.

For me it just loads on the site. Maybe you need some plugin? I don't get it.
Shamarah2005-01-25 00:32:52
Just select to open the file, and you shouldn't have a problem.

That was pretty cool.
Drago2005-01-25 00:36:14
*.gz= linux file, I believe.
Richter2005-01-25 00:37:48
Bleh
Shamarah2005-01-25 00:42:37
Try opening it in WinZip, then clicking on the .html file in there.
Maedhros2005-01-25 00:44:04
There's a screenshot I took. It's like that, except it's moving and way cooler. You see Neo dodge bullets ascii style.

This is a sample.

Woot.
Maedhros2005-01-25 00:45:20
Whoa, Richter...I see RAGNAROK characters as your background!
Daganev2005-01-25 00:45:28
that technology is so 90s... Ascii star wars is so much better.


ClICK ME!
Maedhros2005-01-25 00:49:41
Pfft...my ASCII actually looks real happy.gif.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure someone got some program that converts real images into ASCII...I just can't see anyone spending the time, or having the skills to make an ASCII thing that looks EXACTLY like the movie.
Richter2005-01-25 01:00:05
I didn't have ragnarok as a background, I was viewing this page. Havent had a ragnarok background in a while.

And you were talking to Riyo! Which is worse *nod me*

And I don't have winzip at work.

Annnnd... that neo pic was awesome.
Maedhros2005-01-25 01:05:45
Oh, I see you have him on MSN too.

And oh, I could tell by the hair tops that it was RO. Should've realized it's from my sig tongue.gif.

EDIT: And the MSN thing was just me sending him the ascii link. And hounding him for getting me shrubbed.
Richter2005-01-25 01:20:00
Good lord, that's cool, it works now.
Daganev2005-01-25 01:48:04
I don't know.. to me it looks worse than an actual GIF animation or something, and I know it was done with a simple computer program that exists on numerous places on the net so I'm not really impressed.

The starwars ones however, was obviously done by hand, and I think is much more impressive.
