Anyone who has played DR can tell you that text is where it’s at. Who needs A/V anyway, huh? Just ask the teenage girls on the metro busy texting their American Idol votes a few months ago. Text is the way.
So who remembers Star Wars Asciimation? You know, that time some lunatic rendered thirty minutes or so of A New Hope into a text-based movie. But of course we know that that trilogy is soooo over these days (at least until Episode III comes out). These days the only trilogy anyone cares about is The Matrix (at least until Return of the King comes out). So now some new maniac has gone ahead and rendered a few seconds of Neo fighting an agent into ascii. Pretty damn cool.
Update: the German guy who made the ascii-movie has a bunch more on his site as well.
