That's correct. As with my stated 207 total embedded videos, that's one video short of 208, which is the number that causes total causes computer meltdowns. Hence the "Part II" as a preventative measure.

Explaining the joke makes the joke no longer funny. Which is a shame because I found it quite amusing.

If you read my explanation of the first joke, you will see I made a second one. Leaving my typo in the quotes is the third one, but the joke's on me.

I honestly did not realise how much of a drag the extra graphics put on a computer. Now I know.

It slows mine down too, but usually the load time is under a minute, then it's okay. Under 20 seconds is a better average. If I went to gather 100 videos, even in chunks of 25, it would take forever, particularly if I'm editing text and continually re-loading the page to proofread and such. YouTube is buggy sometimes too. So much music being made, so much to share, and we're still left with clunky mediums like the Internet...hate limiting that energy.

I don't feel like having to "sell" the spoiler tag with a bunch of words when I don't really have something to say that the song can't say itself, you know? Also, it's easier to miss a spoiler tag than an embed video, but too many embedded videos can cause a viewer to click off. Eh, whaddyagonnado?

Hide them. If you love videos so much, you got to hide your love (for videos) away.

Side note two: I never realised that the abbreviation of Urban's username is an expression of surprise or misunderstanding: UH?

Aux-in, as you say, we all have different ways of doing things, and as long as the mods are okay with it and it doesn't crash computers then I guess you have your answer.
