Granted, doing something like that would be technically brilliant in my 
book.

But to what end?

There are ways to waste time and then there are WAYS to waste time...! ;)

The only people you might impress with something like that would be your D & 
D buddy whose got skin like a mole and never leaves his basement and his PC 
except to DM your newest AD & D session or chair the local Warhammer club's

Most other people would probably just go "dude WTF!"
