| | When I bumped into this, I was shocked, but pleasantly shocked. It seems that there are people crazy enough to recreate Star Wars IV: A New Hope in DOS mode. And they did this only by using ASCII characters! What's more, you can watch the WHOLE movie, which is over one hour long.
So, Star Wars fans (I'm one of you, lol), this is what you have to do:- Start Telnet (Start > Run > "telnet")
- When Telnet starts, type "o" (without quotes) and press ENTER
- Type in "towel.blinkenlights.nl" and press ENTER
- Wait a few seconds for the credits to pass, and then enjoy!

I cant even imagine how long this must have taken to create, its amazing lol. I dont think I can watch the whole thing because it hurts my eyes but it is well done  . It sticks to the story mostly and some of it is cut due to not being able to do it and time limitations but haha its great for a good laugh.

Haha wow, for once I'm glad something got a random reply after a long time lol. This entertains me greatly that someone thought to do a movie like this. I've seen a bunch of images or short animations done with ascii recreations but to see an entire movie recreated like this is intense. Although I hurt for the guys who did this since they obviously have a large excess of free time on their hands, but otherwise kudos to them! I only watched the first few minutes but assuming the whole movie is there as claimed that an impressive feat.

VGA Mode Not Supported Message On Monitor

X86: Assembler AT&T Or Intel Mode?

tasks... And then I had to switch to Linux... hummm, there were no Borland C nor TASM oh! What
to do! Fortunately, gcc provided a much better C compiler (the Borland C was completely
surpassed!) but it was hard for me to get used to the assembler included: GAS . It uses the ....
Guild Wars Factions
MMORPG (6) Hello all After coming off a year and a bit of playing world of warcraft, I decided what I
didn't like about MMORPG's. Though World of Warcraft is great it has some things lacking,
such as the fact sitting in Ironforge spaming Looking for group or group looking for one more healer
or tank. I highly dislike that since you can spend hours upon hours of just doing that unless you
get a guild to stay together for more than a couple of months or have plenty of fun, World of
Warcraft can be a drag. Well I traded in a bunch of my xbox games at a local ebgames sto....

Guild Wars Factions
Coming soon! (0) Hi all, for those who don't already know the good news. Guild Wars Factions is coming soon!
Guild wars faction is the second installment of the incredible game that is Guild wars. For those
who have never heard of Guild wars before, this is a MMORPG with a twist. The main focus of GW is
team work and skills rather than the normal "grinding" seen in most MMORPGs. So if you're the
kind that want to be powerful based on your skills and teamwork, rather than the hours u spend on
the game, guild wars is the game for you. With Factions, 2 new classes have been intr....

Guild Wars: An Insider's Experience
Might have alot of these about already.. (16) I started up Guild Wars, created an account, and created an ele/N1 character. Dumbfounded? Well that
formula-like phrase "ele/N1" actually represents your character profession and level -
ele:Elementalist(Primary Profession), N:Necromancer(Secondary Profession), 1: Level 1. This is
exactly what the beginning of Guild Wars is about, dumping you in a newbie town and letting you roam
free on your own with no idea what to do. You get these phrases mentioned above all the time when
you click on people. Some hardcore gamers might have realized the meaning in a snap but for peo....

Guild Wars Not The Average Mmorpg

reach the max level and most people never even reach it, but in this new type of MMO you reach it
right away. Arenanet is focusing on the PvP aspect of guild wars, and guild warfare. Lots of people
are complaining about the lack of roleplay involved, but Arenanet just keeps telling them this
isn't a game that focuses on roleplaying, it is a game that focuses on PvP and c....
