Ho Shit, YouTube Videos Are Video Games!

Well, okay, just a single video game.

I got a laptop for Christmas - a nice enough one, but I still need to pick up a mouse for it. Anyway, I'm using the arrow keys to scroll, since it's a lot easier than to use the touch pad.

Tonight, I sat down to watch Kick Ass. Pretty neat - lots of great music, especially this bit here:

This bit here.

Now, as I'm looking at clips, I'm trying to scroll down to read the video info, to see if it's a track on the CD and blah, blah, blah. But as I'm using the arrow keys, the loading icon - that's the dots doing the circle thing in the middle when the video is loading - they moved. They totally moved. You can play Snake.

You can totally play Snake with the loading squiggles of a YouTube video. Just use the arrow keys whle they're on the screen, and your video will play in the background while you play Snake! I suggest loading a Pink Floyd video, or to watch some Gun Kata from Equilibrium, or to find a clip of a comedian you like.
