Is that Michael Jackson I can smell?

Yes.

You have to be careful not to click away from it, because it messes all of the pop-ups up. Just sit and watch it without clicking (until it tells you to).

I clicked away. (damn Minecraft)

Idiot! Start again! It's really worth watching. Shows the power of HTML 5 if you're into that sort of thing, and is also pretty damn impressive and cool from an artistic standpoint.

Is there anyway I can crop it square?

I tried watching this yesterday after spotting it on the Grauniad site. It crashed Safari. Twice.

Trying to load it on my iPad as the copy of Chrome on my work laptop does nae work and I can't be arsed to figure out why.

I don't think it's loading.

Bah! It has a little badge on the homepage saying something about "designed for Chrome", so it's probably best viewed in Chrome. Aren't we all using Chrome now, anyway? Safari? PFF!

Also, I doubt it'd work on the iPad because it uses a load of pop-up windows, and if the iPad is anything like the iPhone, I just know it won't work properly. Not a chance.

Well that is awesome.

(and worked fine on my copy of Safari)

That was excellent.

Worked fine in Safari for me, too.

Yeah, I got my work copy of Chrome working and it does indeed load in that, but I had no time to watch it and I can't have the sound on. I'll give it a looksee this evening.

I posted this in Bits and Bobs yesterday.

It worked fine in Safari for me eventually, it just crashed it a couple of times last night when I originally tried to view it.

That's a bit fucking good that is!

I like it... thanks for posting it WTB. I missed it in Bit's n Bobs yesterday.

Indeed, I never keep up with bits and Bobs I like people posting threads for interesting things. Let them stand and fall on their own merits and all that.

I had no idea the minecraft thread would become so mammoth for example.

Bloody brilliant, just remembered to fire it up at home.

I tried this in Chrome a few days ago and it didn't work in that either.

Be Excellent To Each Other
