I’m speechless at the amount of detail that’s gone into recreating one of the best movies EVER MADE into a pixelated feature, which is why I’m going to stop now and just repost the image for you all to watch.

Pixelated New York City as social network

Pixelized New York City

City Pixel have created a breath-taking pixelated replica of New York City and merged into a giant internet city-as-social network. Registration is free and users are able to explore the city, shop, rent apartments, use public transportation and even make in-world “calls” to other pixelcitizens on the public telephones available throughout the city. Take 1 part Second-Life, 1 part MySpace, and lots of pixels later, you have a New York-style playground for you to explore and meet new people. City Pixel is currently in production on their second city, rumored to be London, which is leading their user-polls for what should come next.
