NicoNico will periodically announce the time, such as at midnight, or some other news, and if you're watching a video, such announcements interrupt it.

What's that 'wwwww' caption all over the screen? Viewer's comment?

That never happened to me before. That's evil. Vile. Sick, even!
Thanks for the explanation, though.

"w" is the Japanese equivalent of "lol"
Yes, viewer comments in NicoNico float across the screen, and is also called danmaku IIRC

It's an abbreviation for "waratta" or the dialectal variant "warouta", meaning "I laughed". So yes, the Japanese equivalent of "lol".

I see, but such a feature would be abused by some user who type long caption and blocking the video.
It can be manually turned off like youtube's caption, right?

Yes. You can turn off comments on Nicovideo.

I think it's more like an endless series of Katakana "HA" going like this: ﾊﾊﾊﾊﾊﾊﾊﾊﾊ , which *kind* of looks like wwwwwww
you *could* write lololololololol like bbbbbbbbbbbbb or ddddddddddddd to save time

Nico douga has far less jerks on it compared to youtube's comment section. You usually don't see that happen unless it's a really popular video with thousands of comments.

That's the main reason why I rewatch AVGN videos on NicoNico.

Plus, the Japanese subtitles are so damned funny.
