Ah, this oldie-but-goodie (now in JS form I see!).
- Use [up] and [down] to speed up and zoom out (backwards) respectively.

This fantastic interactive artwork makes me seriously want to watch the show being promoted (Tin Man, a TV miniseries). Many of the pieces in it are stunningly evocative (like the Asian city) and bring to mind some of the best adventure games of yesteryear.

Bigger, longer, and more unhinged than the original. This brings me back to the collaborative online art projects and people getting together on forums to do cool things for the heck of it.

An endless (not really), silly pastiche of meme-y images, courtesy of the goons of SA.
- There's a tradition of "collaborative building" projects on the SomethingAwful Forums, which tend to be full of in-jokes and pop culture/videogame references. Some examples:
The Blue Ball Machine: http://blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/ http://blueballmachine2.ytmnd.com/ (These ones are a crazy joy to follow.)
