Dammit, I can't watch the video. Bloody player :(
But the topic is really interesting cause gaming is considered to be as an ultimate evil but in fact it can have a good impact on the brain like multi-tasking, concentration etc
And this is a great way to let the steam off

Hi, and welcome to the forums! What browser and OS do you use? Firefox on Linux doesn't play it correctly for me, but Chromium does. On Windows, Chromium and Firefox are both working fine for me.
