Wow.

I really hope that is automatically generated somehow. If someone sat there and typed all of that in ... that would just boggle the mind.

 

[Krug]

Actually it's all done by microscopic Gnomes..

 

[Gunslinger]

How big is the complete file? It won't tell me while I'm downloading it, and on dialup, I don't want to start anything I can't finish.

 

[Welverin]

It's that big, while I didn't pay much attention to it (multiple windows and all), it certainly didn't take an inordinate amount of time.

 

[Dimenhydrinate]

That is one of the coolest things I have seen lately.

 

[Doppleganger]

Wow that is amazing.

It's also kinda freaky to think about how your eyes/brain can see a bunch of T's, R's, & c's flashing on the screen and so easily interpret them as a movie.

Now we can see the "matrix" as neo does.

 

[Tarrasque Wrangler]

That is weird, wild stuff.

Wow. I had to take my screen to 1600x1200 to watch the whole thing, but that was impressive. Looking at the source code, I echo Eric's concern that he didn't do the whole thing by hand. It was impressive, but if every frame was hand done, then it was immensely moreso.

Reminds me of the mid/late 1980's when you downloaded pictures (off of BBS's) and would print them off on a dot-matrix printer. They looked like that, without the animiation of course.
