TIL: while loading a youtube video, you can enable snake by pressing your arrow keys counter clockwise. (top, left, down, right)

Re: MXS Twitter
Thanks Shack!
"It turns out that you can play the classic game Snake (especially popular on cellphones back in the day) at Google-owned YouTube by holding the left and up arrow keys on your keyboard while a video is playing or paused.
Once the game starts, you can direct a transparent snake around the video player with the arrow keys to gobble up dots that cause the snake to grow. Hitting the edge of the player or any part of your snake's body will end the game.
The Easter egg — just one in a long series of similar stunts from Google — was discovered by users last week. No one's sure exactly when the game was added, but it must be recent because it only works on the new YouTube video player introduced in April. It doesn't work with embeds, either, so you'll have to go to YouTube's website to try it out.
Previously, Google put a button on YouTube videos that played a World Cup-style vuvuzela sound. Google's no stranger to playable games on its websites, either; the logo on the Google home page became a playable game of Pac-Man two months ago, supposedly costing society more than $120 million in productivity.
This video that was embedded at gaming blog Kotaku reveals the feature, but note that the creator's claim that you must be in a "Gaming" category video to play Snake is incorrect. Otherwise, it's a solid explanation."

Re: MXS Twitter
/messagelines 0 is the greatest feature of this game ever. Used it last night for the first time and didn't see a line of chat all night! whoop whoop
Only issue is I'm sure people will think I'm a jerk and ignoring them, but honestly I just don't have a chat feature

Re: MXS Twitter
Are you saying the chat is not muted but you personally can't see the chat? If so I might have to try that out..Sweendoggy wrote:/messagelines 0 is the greatest feature of this game ever. Used it last night for the first time and didn't see a line of chat all night! whoop whoop

Re: MXS Twitter
It sets the number of text lines to display in the upper left corner. Set to 0 it won't display any. You can still read the chat by pressing t to bring up the chat menu.

Do you have to type it in every time you open the game or does one time keep it set till you change it?Phathry25 wrote:It sets the number of text lines to display in the upper left corner. Set to 0 it won't display any. You can still read the chat by pressing t to bring up the chat menu.

Re: MXS Twitter
I can think of two way to find out. Ask someone. Or even easier yet, try it yourself.

So, I went out to Three Palms today, and the track was really sketchy. The dirt was really soft, so there were new ruts every time someone rode by. One guy was on his second lap, and someone got sketchy on the face and landed on him. The guy who got landed on was fine, but the lander-on got hauled off in an ambulance. It was just one of those sketchy days. Everyone was highsiding and swapping.
