Watch Part 2 - ''A Dinosaur Story - Extras'' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3_UKtnZWuI In 2013 Google updated the Chrome web browser with a brand new error screen, that would pop up whenever users would experience an internet shortage. Besides the message that there is no internet connection, and a few suggestions for diagnostics, the screen also displayed an image of a T-Rex standing still on a desert plain. The next year, Chrome users would find that they could actually activate an easter egg game with the dinosaur, simply by pressing the space-bar on their keyboard, or tapping on the screen if they were using a smartphone. The Google Chrome T-Rex icon was designed by Sebastien Gabriel, a visual designer who is also known for designing other Chrome icons, one of them being the ‘’Chrome Repair Bot’’. The offline game was entirely coded by Google developer Edward Jung. The dinosaur game is an infinite runner that has no time limitations or scripted epilogue. You basically go for as long as you can, and while doing so, hopefully forget about the frustrations of dealing with one of the biggest first world problems. ____________________________________ Sources and references: - OMG Chrome: ‘’Interview with Sebastien Gabriel, a Google Chrome Visual Designer’’ http://www.omgchrome.com/interview-with-sebastien-gabriel-google-chrome-visual-designer/ - Softpedia: ‘’Chrome's Cute Offline Dinosaur Now Comes as Standard’’ http://webscripts.softpedia.com/blog/Chrome-s-Cute-Offline-Dinosaur-Now-Comes-as-Standard-392981.shtml - Dribble: ‘’Chrome lonely T-rex’’ https://dribbble.com/shots/1280869-Chrome-lonely-T-rex ‘’Chrome lonely T-rex reloaded’’ https://dribbble.com/shots/1832973-Chrome-lonely-T-rex-reloaded - Wikipedia: ‘’Google Chrome’’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#T-Rex ‘’Specimens of Tyrannosaurus’’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specimens_of_Tyrannosaurus - Quora: ‘’Why does Google Chrome show a dinosaur when you are offline?’’ https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Google-Chrome-show-a-dinosaur-when-you-are-offline - Chromium.org: ‘’Disable Chrome offline game (T-Rex) if device is enrolled’’ https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=462221 ‘’add policy to disable dinosaur game on the network error screen on desktop/mobile platforms’’ https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=471738 ____________________________________ Footage used in the video YouTube: - Marques Brownlee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iObySa91b0 - Unbox Therapy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMiBhvV0Dm8 - JerryRigEverything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enaBiv2j91U - Computerphile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZRI1IfStY0 Pixabay: - Pencil clip https://pixabay.com/en/videos/pencil-write-author-education-pen-8256/ - Exsersize clip: https://pixabay.com/en/videos/yoga-health-woman-mountain-445/ - Keyboard clip: https://pixabay.com/en/videos/keyboard-typing-computer-office-8246/ Videezy: - ‘’Bad TV Reception Stock Video Clip’’ by recroom https://www.videezy.com/elements-and-effects/244-bad-tv-reception-stock-video-clip - ‘’Reading book pages’’ by padrinan https://www.videezy.com/abstract/5713-reading-book-pages Mazwai: - Grass clip http://mazwai.com/#/grid/videos/8 ____________________________________ ► SUBSCRIBE: null ► FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: https://twitter.com/chmtech ► GOOGLE +: https://plus.google.com/+ChannelHotmonkey/posts ______________________________________ Music: ''U Make Me Feel'', ''TFB3'', ''Habanera (by Bizet)'' (YouTube Audio Library)
