What a Piece of Junk!

I went over to PAPA.ORG and see there's a nice BSD tutorial video. These videos are great not only because they explain the rules, but they also say how to get high scores, which are often different than the official way. Well, it seems this archive has been shut forever due to their need to be NEW! They've switched to a new video mode which brings up a big black box, and . . . that's it! That's all it does, no matter what browser I use. I hate it when people try to be "trendy", updating with new stuff, who cares if it works, it's new!

Hmmm... Worked fine for me on Firefox 32.0.2

Here's a direct link to the BSD tutorial on youtube. Good luck troubleshooting.

Search youtube for the papa videos.

edit: yeah, what Bass Mummy said.

Have you sent them an email to report the issue? We can't fix PAPA.org website bugs.

YouTube FTW.

Yea. I actually cached the BSD tutorial the other day from a youtube type app on my iphone and watched it during some downtime at work. Richard seems to have some problems.

The link to BSD from this site works. Weird.

The PAPA site does have a design issue that I see in the source, they link to Youtube in their IFrame via HTTPS. An HTTP IFrame in an HTTPS site is becoming a very definite no-no and is blocked by many browsers by default. The other way around ala the PAPA site is allowed, but I've heard mixing HTTP with an HTTPS IFrame can cause some weird issues as well and perhaps may be also blocked by strong mixed content security.

Only other thing I can think of is if the various div / autoplay deals PAPA now does is triggering an ad blocker somehow.

she'll make point-five past light speed! she may not look like much from the outside, but she's got it where it counts kid; i've made a lot of special modifications myself. now if you'll just step inside, we've got a few of things to do before we blast off...

When it pops up in the black box, there's a "YouTube" icon embedded in it. If you click that, it'll take you to the YT page with the video
For Vimeo-hosted ones, I believe it's the same deal, but with a "Vimeo" logo.

Watch out for that Mos Eisley Kessel Kabob & Kurry joint, that place will give you the runs for 5 parsecs.
