May 17 2009Another Dorm Used As A Giant Display
This is another video of students from the Polish Wroclaw University of Technology turning one of their dorms into a giant 12 x 10 four-color display. They play all kind of games and animations, so feel free to skip around and realize just how much time was wasted. The group responsible calls themselves P.I.W.O., which is apparently the equivalent of B.E.E.R. in English. Of course it could mean cock rocker for all I know, I'm not Polish.

Dormitory Turned Into Huge Color Display [slashdot]
Thanks to Mark and Julian, once played Pong against each other on a 2 x 2 display and both lost. And to Emode, who is Polish and informed me that P.I.W.O. does in fact translate to B.E.E.R. and not T.I.T.S., which would have been cool too.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the novie Never BAck Down where Max went to a government meeting about UFOs and on the way out, unsatisfied, he messed with the breaker box to darken offices and send a message.

All I got out of that was "Never don't stop" which is probably what PIWO means. Reminds me of the mesmerizing "colorful displays" one of the earlier Macs used to be able to do on a TV screen.
@23 I was waiting for space invaders too.
