Watch Star Wars in Your Command Window

You can watch Star Wars on your command prompt window. You just open your command window/terminal and then type telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl.



I really liked the beginning when the "movie" starts with "20th Century Text" instead of "20th Century Fox".


Overall, it is very nice and creative. And I think, it must have caused the developers much effort.
(I guess it's also OK omitting the telnet part in the command.)

Professor Layton and the Curious Village


I discovered a fun game for
Nintendo DS: Professor Layton and the Curious Village. It's the only game in DS that I was having fun while playing except the fabulous Castlevania.

There are two main characters: Professor Layton and his apprentice Luke. While moving through the town named St. Mystere, they meet villagers and try to solve some mysteries. The game contains many puzzles as mental exercises. While playing, the touch screen property of Nintendo DS is used.

Reception of the game was very positive.
