Topic: ASCII Art

ASCII art is a graphic design technique that utilizes computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters, or text art I.E.

(you might need to post pictures of the ASCII art)

cool

Google Easter Egg: If you google "ascii art", the google logo changes to ascii art.

I like this one:

i've tried it before, but every time i post it here, but it seems to mess up as soon as i hit the "post reply" button... oh well. i'm not particularly good, anyway.

so do we have to make the ones we post?

No, but it would be preferred.

EDIT: SMILEY BONUS. I'll be damned if I'm looking for it to edit it out. EDIT: Fixed.

FURTHER POWER EDIT: This cool site will turn any pic you upload (or point to on the internet) into Ascii art. (remember to wrap the resulting image in {code} {/code} [with square brackets] tags so it displays properly with a fixed-width font)

Didn't really work too well, but you can sorta make it out.

@Raylax - oh, my stars! I can see the "Nintendo" in NintendoLife.
EDIT: oh, my gosh!!! You also made Yoshi via ASCII Art? Kudos!!

FURTHER EDIT: The banana may work now
DOUBLY EDIT: THE BANANA DIDN"T WORK!
TRIPLY EDIT: My avatar is really fitting for this predicament.

@Starboy: I didn't make these, persay. Check my post above (#8). There's an online generator I fed the image into.

@Raylax - oh. That's still cool, though.
@protozone - I can see the banana.

Alright, last one. It's pretty huge. SUPER MARIO WORLD IN ASCII:
