Talk:Glitch

message: I'm about to change this from Machine to back the original Macro, based principally on the Ermac article (about the MK character), which lists it as Macro. Google seems to back this up:  for Machine vs . Unless we've got someone who worked on the game among us to clarify it either way, I'm inclined to go with Google. --Lawlore 01:29, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Ermac, this glitch never actually occurred at all, and the whole thing was made up. Therefore, the paragraph explaining how this "bug" was mistaken for a feature needs to be replaced by another example. How about the Minus World? - furrykef (Talk at me) 04:09, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  ERMAC- Machine or Macro? 

message: Is there a specific reason why this doesn't mention the Minus World glitch? I find that the most well-known glitch in history...sort of.
: It does. "The occurrence of some glitches can be replicated deliberately by doing a series of certain tasks in a specific order; a famous glitch in Super Mario Bros. is a simple example." I'll edit it so it links. -KLink/NiN10col/Neotendo123 01:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I searched Wikipedia for blue hell, and this was the closest I came - one sentence in this article.  Yet answers.com has a 'blue hell' article, from wikipedia, in more detail about game glitches, specifically the GTA ones.  Has it been deleted from wikipedia, or moved to GTA perhaps?  More should be written about 'blue hell' in this article, in any case. Saccerzd 17:59, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

message: i think they should organize by type of glitch to make the readers easier to understand.  after all, this is a popular encyclopedia.  for example, the picture "glitch city", that should be put under game glitches.  XU-engineer 16:35, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: organizing this article

message: This glitch is driving me crazy. I can't make progress with any project with the glitch disabling the video timeline almost every time when I try to edit a clip, add an effect, or transition. The preview screen goes black and the timeline does not play at all. I click "Undo" and it responds again. It's almost like the glitch is saying, "Leave it as it is," when I try to make a change it won't let me. This glitch needs to be removed ASAP. Much appreciated.

message: Looking at the Quake3Glitch.gif image, I cannot really see any glitch. I see the soldier saluting, but I'm not really seeing any glitch at all. JayKeaton (talk) 23:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like an animation glitch to me; in some frames the arm is missing? In any event, it is unsourced (possibly WP:OR?) so we should consider replacing it with something else. Marasmusine (talk) 18:52, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Quake3Glitch.gif

message: I added some much needed knowledge about glitching in the new sense.  While this is a great page, it seemed to mostly talk about programming errors and didn't do much to address "glitching" in gamer subculture.  I recently resurrected my page on this topic and have now linked this article to mine.  Some of my writing may need to be revised, but I think I've done a lot to help this article encompass ALL forms of the term.  Wikidaily2 (talk) 02:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Glitching

message: From the article, under Video game glitches:
Since older video games were written in code, a simple misplaced character could cause a graphical or gameplay-related problem in the final product; However, today's games are mainly created using graphical editing programs.
I realise that the whole section lacks attribution, but isn't this pretty clearly false? Running code, after all, is what a computer does.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirin (talk • contribs) 12:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the statement implies that games are now usually written in higher-level languages (in editors with a GUI), rather than machine code/assembly language? Anyway without a reference it is WP:OR, and so challenged and removed per WP:V. Marasmusine (talk) 13:58, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Games sans code? 

message: The article at the end seems to state that it is the fault of the other players of the game rather then the fault of the game, or the person exploiting the glitch that it is seen as unfair. "(e.g. falling through the ground and shooting at other players from below). This gives the other players reasons to dislike glitching, because they may not know how to do the glitch that is assisting the "glitcher", thus creating an unfair disadvantage for the people not "glitching"" I would say something around how the game was not designed to support such events, rather then the ineptitude of the other players.  —Preceding Lockgar comment added by Special:Contributions/Lockgar (talk) 23:34, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  game tester? 

message: "A glitch (also known as a bug)" There is clearly a difference between a glitch and a bug. A glitch is, yes in someway the same as a bug, but the difference is that a bug is a error in the code as in that it is possible to wield a bow on your head (in example). And a glitch, is more of a graphical error. In example you can walk a bit through the wall because it isn't perfectly textured. that is the dif between a glitch and a bug. --84.85.201.54 (talk) 21:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

message: In Ancient Greek language (specifically at Boeotian dialect) the word "glicha" or "glitza" (in Greek: Γλίτσα) means the slippery filth, the slime. I thought you can add this in the etymology section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.73.174.156 (talk) 18:48, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

message: This article starts by saying a glitch is a very short error that immediately clears itself. Yet, the rest of the article seems to discuss computer bugs in general. D O N D E groovily Talk to me 20:04, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  The distinction between this and a bug is not consistent 

message: It seems likely to me that the subject material in the form "glitching" belongs in Glitch (circuits) which would be here? But clearly there are more uses of the term in GBooks than just Glitching (video games) In ictu oculi (talk) 22:30, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
