- NKCSS 13y agoHaha, so awesome
- caxton 13y agoNow this is awesome. My favourite part was "Video destroyed. Game over". Lol
- klimeryk 13y agoIf you right click on a video, it will show a "Stats for nerds" option (showing the usual stats, but nice touch nevertheless).
- scottlinux 13y agoAnother one: type Alt-F4 during a video.
- sairamkunala 13y agoA snake game can be triggered with the help of direction keys before the video is loaded. Screenshots: http://imgur.com/dZr1wR9 http://imgur.com/dZr1wR9 http://imgur.com/ciBezZo http://imgur.com/ciBezZo
- jpswade 13y agoType 1337, view the comments.
- RyanMcGreal 13y agoNothing changed.
- vidyesh 13y agoType 1337 not with the numlock keys. And check comments.
- RyanMcGreal 13y agoSigh. It was a joke, in reference to the abysmal quality of YouTube comments.
- vidyesh 13y agoThey start looking exactly the way they should. Not worth wasting time on.
- themstheones 13y agoI always hide them with css.
- brbcoding 13y agoClick the whitespace near the comments, then type 1337... Don't do it in the search box.
- zombio 13y agoBest easter egg ever! Is that new?
- vidyesh 13y agoProbably the 'Geek Week' change. Only noticed after the 'Geek Week' started.
- Achshar 13y agoI cant see it.
- aestra 13y agoClick the whitespace in the comment section and don't use the number pad.
- agumonkey 13y agowhere's the js script to scan all 4 digit numbers triggered eggs ?

- FridayWithJohn 13y agoAwesome stuff... although my boss wouldn't think so ;-)
- MrKurtz 13y agoA couple more listed here: http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/08/youtubes-geeky-easter-eggs.html http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2013/08/youtubes-geeky-east...
- UnoriginalGuy 13y agoIt is nice that Google still allows Easter Eggs. Many other companies (e.g. Microsoft) have outright banned them.
- Joeboy 13y agoI find it amusing that London's buses are plastered with Geek Week publicity, but until now I've not seen any actual geeks mention it.
- csmattryder 13y agoI think it's because it's 'Geek', not Geek. Folks who play video games, and have seen the new Star Trek movie. Not targeted at those who have an opinion on Haskell and have an opinion on Torvalds.
- ahoy 13y agoThis is why I prefer a clearer distinction between 'geek' and 'nerd'. A geek cares a whole lot about the history of background characters in star wars, or about collecting limited-run Japanese mecha toys. A nerd cares a whole lot about his/her favorite scripting language, or about inorganic chemistry. One can, of course, be varying degrees of either and/or a mix of both.
- themstheones 13y agoThe whole geek movement is doing so well because it's so easily monetizable. All the culture producers are playing in to it because it's easy to make money that way. So rather than shunning the D&D players and trekkies like they used to in pop culture, they now target them because they realized there's more money in it.
- brbcoding 13y agoQuite accurate. I was hoping for some sweet dev talks or something special for 'Geek Week' but all I got was a bunch of gaming videos.
