Mesmerizing. I must have watched for five minutes.


Yeah, there's something about watching a progress bar get to 100% that is very satisfying.


These are all really good. They're all created by the same agency, too. http://www.bigspaceship.com/

Looks like a pretty solid agency.


Many agencies are represented, not just bigspaceship.


Oh, strange. I looked through a lot of them, and they were all bigspaceship.


This is ridiculous.. it just keeps loading and loading


That why it's always good to give humans a reference. We have some kind of completeness gene.

It's why we sit through commercials on a program we don't really like -- because they broke to commercial with an unanswered question.

Preloader #5 out of #800. Movie rating: 3 out of 5 stars. Game review: 8 out of 10 stars. Database: 153 records out of 9355.


Some of those preloaders are real works of art!


Beautiful. I wish had the artistic skill to do some of that. My favorite one had to be the Old School Movie loader.


Best preloader ever was for a C64 game. You could play a very good implementation of Space Invaders while the real game loaded. I think the real game wasn't as good as the loader.


Loading preloader, please wait...


this just derailed our whole office. i like that sweet cowboy one.


Good find.
