Nyan cat and Star Wars via Telnet

Surely most have seen, if not, at least heard of CMD (command prompt). Yes, it's that black window where you type commands. But, few people know that you can watch the whole movie in that "black window".

There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do?
