I played this one last night. Did anyone here had fun playing it?? I don't know if I'd call this 'awesome' or 'mind-blowing' concept but this is simply disappointing.

aungstypooJul 26, 2010
How is it dissapointing? The title wasn't misleading. If you aren't a fan of snake then what made you think you would like it over top of your youtube videos?
While not mind-blowing, its a fun little easter egg that youtube put on their site.

A better way would be to play snake on this video which explains snakes on youtube. I just did it and my computer got blown to pieces.

They could have just written "press the up and left arrows while watching a youtube video" and spared us from being subjected to one of the worst voices I have ever heard.

Just hold Left actually
glbernsJul 26, 2010
you can do either.

You can also masturbate while holding left, but I doubt that was the intended trigger.You can also masturbate while holding left, but I doubt that was the intended trigger.

ghostwoJul 26, 2010
Although the video says 'gaming' section only, it actually works anywhere. It also works in full screen mode too. Watching the tail fade out reminds me of the map screens in alien swarm.

Press the up and left arrow keys to play snake while watching a youtube video.

No s**t he took like 20 seconds to get to the f**king point, long winded bores are bad enough, through in a nerdy voice you'd expect some actor playing a nerd to come up with.

I'm thinking this is some elaborate trolling attempt. Like the old lady in MW2 video.
angelbunnyJul 26, 2010
I made it work using the video demonstrating it (the one in the article).
First, make sure you're in youtube. Do not try this on an embedded video.
Second, do not activate this in fullscreen. Once it starts you can go to fullscreen.
Third, I did it by going to the page which makes the video play. 1 to 2 seconds in I clicked the video to pause it. I then clicked it again to start playing the video. After that, without doing anything else hit up and left at the same time and it worked.
btw, i'm on osx 10.6.4 but since this is flash it should work equally on all operating systems, i'm sure.
protargolJul 26, 2010
Can't get it to work either. Have been holding down the left arrow for 2 hours now. Please send help!
imaprinceschikJul 26, 2010

douglasqJul 26, 2010
Has anyone got it to work on any video besides this one?
breakspiritJul 26, 2010
yep, worked on the first video i tried it on. it was in the gaming category.
aungstypooJul 26, 2010
same here, got it to work on a crackdown video, halo video, and MW2 video, and this one of course.
glbernsJul 26, 2010
works on any new video. Doesn't have to be in the gaming category, just has to have the new player.

tona107Jul 26, 2010
To be fair he was talking/making a video so he was probably just trying not to die more than anything.
iamsmoothJul 26, 2010
For some reason it seems to only work with certain videos (not just video game related ones). I managed to get it to work on some random 2 year old stand up video. If you can't get it work just try different videos.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
wondertwinsJul 26, 2010
The tone of the guy's voice video sounds like he gives absolutely no s**t to what he does and always has this sardonic and condescending mood.

jmorris5tenJul 26, 2010
How did youtube hijack your browser?
The snake game is confined to the video that is in a small portion of your screen.
The game does not intercept any mouse movements and does not stop you from leaving the page or navigating to another page.
It does not force you to do anything.
It is voluntarily started.
statmobileJul 26, 2010
I must have clicked on something else, because the site I went to resized my browser and had two pop-ups.
