ASCII World Cup

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gooooooaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllll dept.

Richard writes to tell us that the web is bringing you the next step up from watching those world cup matches in high-def. As the self-proclaimed "best, most ridiculous, most redundant graphical implementation of ASCII", ascii-wm.net brings you the 2006 World Cup live via your telnet window.

    This is about 100x better than ASCII Goatse, which is much more common :(

    You know it strikes me that probably 90% of the Internet audience these days would have no clue what ASCII is, much less how to telnet into the server.

    On one hand, that's slightly sad

    Actually, I remember the days when we didn't have telnet. We actually had to go to the game, and we were grateful for it!

    Think it would be a bad omen if, by chance, a word appeared like 'cAnCEr' in the ascii art? Or would you shrug it off as just a coincidence? :-/

    down now:
    me@here 1:telnet ascii-wm.net 2006
    Trying 213.129.247.65...
    telnet: connect to address 213.129.247.65: Connection timed out
    Have we just slashdotted a server using plain old _telnet_?
