Snooker is just what you see there. Bigger table, more balls. You pot a red, then a colour alternatively.

The colours have specific points values, and a specific order to pot them in.

So you can pot red, then yellow, then red, then green, etc
Getting a point for red and x points for the colours.

But if you're not potting the colours in the right order they get taken back out of the pocket (you still get points).

Because of the points system it's actually possible to win without potting the black (i think).

Aaaaanyway, Ronnie O Sullivan was a smashing player (lad in the video) but I think he had problems with alcohol and mental health.

Snooker's fun, but if you want a game that's really nuts, try carom (or carambole). I'm fair at 9-ball, but holy crap, I got schooled playing that crap.

If you wanna game that's really nuts, play Super Meat Boy

That's not exactly how snooker is played. There is a set order for the (non-red) coloured balls to be potted in, but only after all of the reds have been potted. Before that, you pot a red ball, then any coloured ball of your choice (generally snooker players aim for that to be the black, or at worst the pink, since they're worth the most points - 7 for black, 6 for pink); you get one point for the red, then however many points the coloured ball is worth. Coloured balls that are potted before all of the reds have been (or immediately after the last red) are returned to their spot on the table.

That's pretty much exactly what I said... 

Or at the very least what I intended to say.

I just died a million deaths.

Synbios

In a(n) coal-powered Aztec empire, a young farm boy with dreams stumbles across a(n) encrypted data-feed which spurs him into conflict with supernatural monsters with the help of a girl who's always loved him and her closet full of assault rifles, culminating in the land restored to health. Your title is: "The Steamnauts."

Ronnie still plays and still plays to an amazingly high standard on the professional circuit. Had the pleasure of meeting him a few years back and he's a great guy, clearly had his demons though. Two other pros play out of the club I used to practise in so I've been fortunate enough to meet a few snooker players down the years.

Just need to balance the scales in this thread. Too much 'lad' and 'tea' and stuff.

Also, what you're seeing there is the pinnacle of the sport. A 147 break in 5 minutes had never been done before and I doubt will be done again. The guy is a genius with the cue. 147's are done on a regular basis in professional snooker now, but not at that speed and with such ease and in competition.
