Glitching. It can get you fun items and secrets, rewarding the player for being both clever and skillful for pulling it off. OR terrible terrible things can happen, rendering a game practically unplayable at times when done incorrectly. I've always been a fan of people that find and demonstrate useless glitches, but also glitch a game beyond its intended limits to discover coding errors/hidden areas/beta areas or items in the code -- or just for the sheer fun of seeing how much it takes to break the game. I was watching this video, dying of laughter, and it gave me an interesting idea: I want to hear stories from the VGCollect community about your experiences with glitches -- intentional or not, your own or something you found elsewhere -- or things you find fascinating about them! (Full article where I originally saw the video: http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/how-to-turn-ocarina-of-time-into-utter-horror?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+zeldainformer+%28Zelda+Informer+News+Feed%29&utm_content=FaceBook#When:21:03:00Z) |

playing Super Mario World on the SNES in first castle I beat the koopa kid however died at the second later (fell into the lava) and not only did it not count as me beating him but when I went to go replay the level again the controls were all fucked up. none of the buttons did what they were supposed to and the direction pad made you jump... wish I had took out my phone to record it. |

I'm not much for let's plays (why watch someone play a game when I could play it myself?), but this is one I think is really cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LscZrRhH6B4 He basically plays through Donkey Kong 64 while constantly showing off all the different glitches you can use to get all of the bananas. Very fun to watch. |

I can maybe come up with an idea of why it did that, but that's still really weird that it would lock your controls for that level. It also seems like something that could be replicated (with enough work), so maybe you can test it out and see if it does that again! |

Sometimes I enjoy it for the commentary (people like DeceasedCrab and BeholdMyStrength have that kind of commentary style where I like to just listen) or I watch them because I can't play the game myself/they're doing a difficult or exclusive run of something. But I'm definitely gonna watch this one just for the sheer interest. |
