Physical glitch


Waiting for the drawbridge of the Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam, this situation made me think of computergame glitches... Bringing me back to the work of Robert Overweg.

Angry Video Game Nerd - Episode 92

Previous post reminded me of this episode by online cult figure ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD. This one's about game glitches (errors); a classic in my opinion.

Bugs & Glitches



Sometimes, when playing a game, you come across bizarre situations. Programming errors, that weren't intended to happen, messing up the game's graphics, physics, or A.I. These errors are called bugs, or glitches. A bug is more like a typical error, like random freezing, or crashes. A glitch is an aspect in-game, that creates unintended gameplay and strange behaviour. This allows you to experience a game in a way, the developers didn't want you to, which can result in very funny situations. Some good examples I found online:

Far Cry 2, 2008
