Title: Watch the World Cup live! In ASCII.
Post by: Rictor on June 24, 2006, 04:08:11 pm
very simple instructions:

open up your command prompt (Start>Run>cmd)
type in "telnet ascii-wm.net 2006"

Stand back and marvel at what is surely the pinnacle of human ingenuity.

No, that's what it says when there's no game on. It only broadcasts live.
