Okay, my upvote was earned at the ease up on the QTEs, and I agree that holding a single button down as it fills can be dramatic too (or at least at the easier modes make an option to ease up on them), but it really earned my vote at the GIVE THE OPTIONS SCREEN BEFORE THE OPENING CINEMATIC AND TUTORIAL. Christ, I hate it when a game makes me watch the cinematic, and often play the first part of a tutorial before it allows me to get to the options screen to set some options... some games detect the wrong resolution, and then you are forced to play at this odd size until you've been in the game for 5-15 minutes.

each video page has a place to opt in http://i.imgur.com/63UqHFA.png

and at the bottom of most/many pages there is a beta optout button.

I often go back and forth for different reasons.

There's the possible invocations button that opens a menu (below the comment box) or a more complete list on the terms and conditions page (link at bottom of every page)

That hits the "giddy" button in me!

Once again we need the "my bad" button.

Yes, you can allow full screen in the embed code. YT did change this recently to disallow fullscreen by default on embedded videos (I dont know why). To enable fullscreen, you need to click the "share" link on the video you want to share, then click the embed tab. There, you will get the full embed code that includes the important "allowfullscreen" attribute. When you include that, embedded videos on videosift (and elsewhere) will have the functional fullscreen button. I just tested this with a new video.

I do....about something else.

Using a mobile, the "ignore" button and Upvote button are so close together that I often accidentally hit ignore when trying to upvote (thankfully you have it set up so one has to confirm). It would be helpful if they were farther apart. Just a thought.

I agree, there are definitely sites like the one you linked to that can get an idea across with visuals / media / flash / whatever that would be impossible or drastically less efficient with pure text.

To me, uBlock Origin or Adblock with Element Hiding Helper is capable of finding a happy medium around 90% of the time.

I like Dilbert. Up until about a year or so ago, there was a URL to go to a page that had the latest comic with simple links to back/forward navigation. No comments or other extraneous stuff. Then Scott Adams did a site redesign and added a fuckload of ads, a "blog" about Adams' political opinions that I don't give 2 shits about, social media links, tags, comments, a star rating, and a "BUY" button. If I'm not running my browser maximized, all that crap pushes the single bit of content that I actually DO want (the comic image) so far out of frame that I have to scroll down to see it. F that.

uBlock itself takes care of the ads. Everything else that annoys me is gone by using the "element picker", which filters out sections or bits of HTML that I can choose. So now, when I visit dilbert.com I get the 3 most recent comic images with a title/date line and *nothing* else.

Videosift isn't immune on my PC either. The "social panel" for each video? Gone. Facebook "likebox"? Gone.

I've run into a few pages that detect custom filtering in a way similar to ad blocking detection. Sometimes, I can just select those "warning" elements and hide them -- especially if they are in a floating frame that simply loads on top of the actual page content. Sometimes those warnings actually prevent the page content from loading. Something from wired did that recently. I haven't clicked through to a wired article since.

That's the worst time, the inevitable second act dilemma, of PC building.

You can budget in the expectation of how long it takes to do the housekeeping stuff. Loading the OS, essential programs, personal preferences - the games themselves...but there's often that one random thing.

I built a nice medium-range game PC with someone else recently, my building partner was so excited. It's amazing how much of a bond that creates between people, or how it can strengthen a relationship. Not just for building PC's specifically, but for sharing something and having that moment of realization of how cool that thing shared really is.

I felt more pissed off than anything for a brief moment during the boot up, when the display seemed to shutdown startup before anything really happened. Luckily, I'd paid attention enough when researching the GPU and eventually remembered someone mentioning there was a button on the card itself that controls the LED lights on it, pressing it seemed to clear whatever was blocking the startup processes for the card.

There was definitely a soul-crushing few hours of doubt and agony before I remembered that detail. During that time, I stared at the clean interior of the fully assembled build, having had a hard enough time getting the cords to fit and wondering if something minor and imperceptible had wiggled loose, wondering if I would go mad.

Having someone else depending on the solution was another intense emotion heightening element. I'd done my best to prime for this likelihood. I'd shared stories of problems I'd had on previous builds, the random thing that went wrong. I stressed the fact that the computer had always, eventually, got built.

It's a good, stinging bit of humility for me. Even when I try to minimize problems and anticipate potential issues, I'll still miss something as obvious as a big button right in front of my face.

I can't help but wonder about how much fun was had in the unmentioned time between pressing the power button, and actually being able to play games.

The only CGI I ever noticed in a Fincher film was Benjamin Button. I think he reached too far on that one... didn't like it personally.
All these other ones though... I had no idea. Who CGIs blood rivulets?! Jeezus.

Actually, I dislike emojis completely and never ever use them.

But for you, if there were a Facebook button with a pretty heart, I would indeed heart the hell out of you!

I don't think the "I'm feeling lucky" roll-the-dice button that is mentioned at the end of this video is on the iOS version of Google Earth.
Otherwise, really cool video!

Serious response: Microwave.
