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:

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.
