Because the Video Player was built on ActiveX and Windows Media Player, it meant that, theoretically, the player could both '''break out of ~~ShiftSHIT~~''' through Media Player's user interface, and '''access fullscreen mode''' exposing a Windows Media Player user interface.

It would only be accessible by downloading the mod from Appscape, which turned into a modding distribution ~~boogie~~ for the game.
