This is a link post The video isn't important - the buffering game is!
Ignore the relatively meh video

Youtube has added a game of snake to the buffering spinner - wait till it gets stuck and press an arrow button- has anyone any info on this?

I did this by accident and can't get any other videos to do the same - a quick google doesn't bring anything up about it and only one commentor seems to have noticed.

EDIT - it doesn't work on the embedded video BTW

This is a normal post I tried all arrows,
on the keypad, on the number bit with lock off. The next button and expand button. Nada!

This is a normal post Works
I got it working by switching to 420 and mashing left and right cursor keys.

Using Firefox 4 beta if that is any help

thats all. You know. I could spend all day getting it to work if you got that right, even if it was a load of old tosh :-D

This is a normal post Totally works!
Just dragged the scrub bar to past where it'd loaded and mashed the arrow keys. How awesome. I wonder how far they've rolled this feature out?

-=EDIT=- Works in Firefox and IE. You have to be focussed on the video - as in, click on it. Then hit the down button or whatever. Brilliant.

-=EDIT EDIT=- This has been rolled out on all of the videos I've looked at so far. How did I miss this?
