A little known extra about youtube, at least, I think it is little known as I have never met anybody who new about it, is that you you can play the "Snake" game on it while waiting for a video to load.

Step 1: Watch a video

First and foremost you need to select a video to watch. The higher the quality of the video (e.g.. 720p or 1080p), the more likely it is to to load slower then it can playback (for example, it might take it ten seconds to load 5 seconds of the video). This is good. You want it to get stuck, if you see the "spinny circle sign of annoyance and slow internet" then you are fine, if not, go get Dial-Up or something.

cool, it works during the video playing. So when I get board watching a video I can just play that game

In addition to Danny09's comment, I would HIGHLY suggest sticking to the up and down arrows to start the game. Unless you don't care about losing your spot in what you are watching...

Totally works!!! You just have to click on the video before you start!
