World cup in Lo-definition
Remember in the 1970's when they took photos of scantily clad girls and converted them into computer printouts, recreating the tones and shadows using various alpha-numerical characters?The next phase of this trend came along when someone animated these images. For example, you can watch The Matrix in this format.
Well someone's taken it a stage further.
You can now watch World Cup football events live, online, in glorious animated ascii-art format, courtesy of http://www.ascii-wm.net/
Open a Telnet session to port 2006 on ascii-wm.net about 10 minutes before a game, and in your console window you'll see the match live. No soundtrack or commentary. No real... er ... anything. But we like the technological implication!
(And if anyone's gone and bought a high-definition telly that they no longer need, thanks to this handy link... let me know!)
