How to make YouTube videos fill up the browser (also, my last Portal-centric post) (I think)

1. I've been trying to figure out how to do this for an embarrassingly long time - - to make a Youtube video fill up your browser window (but NOT go fullscreen), modify the URL to include the modified url "watch_popup". So, instead of this typical url:

Portal 2 easter eggs spotted by Reddit users:


Wallpaper-sized screencap of the blue screen of death.



The overgrown potato science project has Chell's name on it.




I certainly didn't notice this - - but apparently, when you look at the art at the beginning of the game, there's no moon. The second time you see it, there's a prominent moon.



A high-res screencap of P-Nut's appearance in the single player campaign.



High-res screencap of Wheatley.



Valve added several new Portal t-shirts and posters to their store, including three turret moon.

Portal 2 roundup: new videos, wallpapers, and more


A reader pointed out that one of the pieces of Chell concept art appears to be based on internet sensation Allison Stokke.




The latest Portal 2 ad mostly passes on the funny to emphasize how cool Chell and her boots are.



GLaDOS invades BIT.TRIP.BEAT, which somehow might mean that Portal 2 will be released ahead of schedule.
