Is your computer blocking it? A school computer would block the loading or make the place were the box should be empty.

No, I have no blocks whatsoever. Just straight from the phone line to the modem to my computer. It just loads all the rest of the page, then stops like it thinks there's nothing else there to download.
Watching videos on the old player was a pain on dial-up, but at least it was possible.

Try downloading the latest version of Flash - http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer. Once it's installed, clear your cache, restart the browser, and try looking at the page. The player not loading at all points towards a problem with the plugin.
If you're still getting nothing after that, view the source of the page, copy/paste it into a text file, and email it to me at [email protected] and I'll see if I can figure anything out.
Other than some firewall/proxy problems (like Aliencrash had), which should be fixed, you're the only report I have of the player not even showing up.

As stated before, I have the latest flash player as well.
Before on the old player there was the occasional problem with just the sound loading and not the video, the newegg 'related videos' splash loading in it's place. This was usually fixed with a refresh of the page. Again, I am on 26.4k dial-up.
Seeing what I can do about getting that page-source to you. The blank black box does have some Flash-y stuff in it, when I right-click I get the default command selection for a basic Flash image (zoom, quality, print, etc..) but no command selections for starting or stopping video playback.

Thanks for changing what happens when I click inside the playing video, never shall I scramble for the big red STOP button again 
It happens sometimes when my connection is almost used to capacity (I live in a house with four other students) what after clicking the picture to begin playing, nothing comes up, and I have to reload and try again a few times for it to work. So a bit of a progress indicator would be nice (or a Retry-button) (although I haven't seen yet if you've done something about this since the last update).
The ads - well, can't be helped I suppose, but could you signal that what's coming doesn't belong to the video? I thought Yahtzee had added a rather unexpectedly tasteless clip at the end of his video ("young people f---ing," was it?) unless I saw it at the end of another vid as well.
Despite my nitpicks I do think it's quite an improvement
