Why would you do that?

So I came across this screensaver:
(Scaled from 1280x1024)
It's called "Nintendo Saver" and it's a wall of NES games, emulating right on your desktop. They're actually playing emulator movie files, which you can download near effortlessly within the screensaver settings. It automatically highlights the games it finds in your ROM folder, too:
So when the screensaver kicks in, it emulates all these NES games at once for you, and you can use the arrow keys, press the space bar, and play any game you want from that point in the movie. For the past 20 minutes, I just beat the final boss of Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Bros., and played some Kirby's Adventure and Donkey Kong out of the blue.
It's also pretty configurable, too. It will utilize a multi-core processor, you can change the graphics settings, you can have a max number of emulated games (if your PC sucks or you don't want to waste battery/power), etc.

As for other cool screensavers, I used to have one which was a clock featuring an Asian girl pop group, but I don't remember what it was...
But anyway. Post some more awesome screensavers.
