telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

How did I not know about this before?

It's Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope, in animated ascii art goodness.


1. Windows Key + R
2. Type in "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl"
3. Bask in the nerdy glory that is Star Wars in ascii art format

If you're on vista, you'll have to install a telnet client before you can view Star Wars in all of it's ascii glory. Try AbsoluteTelnet for a good telnet/ssh client with a tabbed interface (Windows only). See my sig for more info.

you don't have to download the client on vista just right click the start menu and click properties, click customize and scroll down to where it says run command, check the box and click ok. then open up the start menu and click run, then you type telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl and enjoy.
