The Product

erebwain showed me one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

The Product

It's basically a 1.9GB graphic animation, complete with sound, that runs about 11 minutes, but the file has been compressed to 64kb. This means you could fit about 22 copies of it on a floppy disk.

It's absolutely incredible. I have no idea how this is even possible. It defies pretty much everything I've ever known about graphics. There's a few other animations on this page.

Heh, Ereb showed me that a while back, I was amazed... Didn't think it could be done, still don't know how they did that.

I'm still amazed whenever I play one of those things... I mean, I'd be impressed if I had one of those in a movie file at a thousand times the size...
ah well... gotta love having weird shit on your computer ;)
