Gears of War 2: Sky Cannon (SKYDIVER)

November 19th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · No Comments (Add your own!)

lunerXsoul SGC has posted a great video of a Gears of War 2 glitch that is a must see.  It is called the Sky Cannon, and is one of the best new glitches found in the game.  You can visit his forum thread to post comments, and also visit the videos youtube posting

The following text tutorial is from the videos youtube information. 

First grab a smoke grenade and go to the spot that is shown in the video… next throw the nade at the sandbag… before it blows up, roll towards it… while your on the floor hold forward and rapidly press A… your camera should jump over cover but your body should still be on the ground. Move up the stairs by rapidly pressing **LT**… if done correctly your camera should shoot into the air… Lastly, have a friend shoot your body on the floor for about a second, you should then launch up into the air and be able to walk on the sky barrier… be careful because you can get stuck in some areas and when you get shot your heath does not regenerate… HOST CAN DO THIS GLITCH!!!

Gears of War 2 Kung Fu Flip

November 15th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 4 Comments (Add your own!)

 

Post written by: nickncs cP

Is it a bird, Is it a plane, No its Freaky cP flipping like a mad man. Glitch Blog member xJedi PiMPx, famous for finding the original kung fu flip in Gears Of War, has posted a video of the Kung Fu Flip in it’s sequal, Gears Of War 2. Freaky cP will have you flipping backwards literally with this glitch, just like a ninja! Just remember not to attempt this in real life, you could break something.

Freaky cP was not the only one trying to find the flip on Gow 2. Glitch Blog’s own, snakesnbarrels (A.K.A. Tbs333) has a variation you might want to check out as well…or not.

Sleeping with the fishes on tomb raider

October 30th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 1 Comment (Add your own!)

nickncs cP has submitted the following post for TI2ophy’s thread titled: First real *Tomb Raider Underworld* demo glitch
nickncs cP writes:
As soon as the new tomb raider demo hit earlier, Glitch Blog member TI2ophy ripped it apart by finding one of the coolest glitches seen on a tomb raider game. TI2ophy used his amazing skills with women to make Lara crouch close to a wall and slide off breaking the laws of physics and water, sending Lara Croft to a very detailed underwater world. As TI2ophy explored i expected him to find the underwater city of Rapture or the lost city of Atlantis. I give TI2ophy a two thumbs up for this unique glitch and it would be nice to see him glitching the full game when it hits shops.

Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty Glitches

October 29th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 3 Comments (Add your own!)

Zellhazard has been posting some great videos from Quest for Booty, and mr.mustache decided to do a write up for his thread.  Check it out…

mr.mustache-”Glitchblog user zellhazard (most known for his size matters,and future tools glitches) has come out of his brief retirement of a couple weeks, and has brought us some quest for booty glitches. In these videos he uses a new technique he found called battstairs where you jump on a bat and use them like stairs. As always his commentary will keep you laughing, and all in all these make for some great videos.”

Brothers in Arms tricking mega-roundup

October 25th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 4 Comments (Add your own!)

Another WWII game has made it’s way to the masses, and there has been a lot of great glitches to come from it.  With so many different threads about this game popping up in the forums, I thought it was a good time for a roundup. 

First off we have the amazing nickncs cP’s efforts with this title. 

  • Brothers in Arms Hell’s Highway: telliporter/cover anywhere + more : An excellent thread that demonstrates a technique that allows you to literally teleport across the map.  The result is both practical, and cool.
  • brothers in arms: hells highway: out of underground : Another great glitch from nickncs cP, only this time he is joined by lunerXsoul SGC.
  • brothers in arms: hells highway: out of operation market : Joined by the sheep squad,  nickncs cP finds his way out of the map, and shows just how gigantic it can be outside the maps in this game.
  • Brothers in Arms Hell’s Highway: Out of Lighthouse : Check out the video in this thread to see one of the biggest areas outside of a level, ever.
  • brothers in arms: hells highway: host dummy/host dummy telliporter : An interesting glitch that creates a dummy that can teleport.  The end shows a dummy hopping off into the distance above the lake.
  • brothers in arms: hells highway: Teleporter 2.0/Tank Elevator : The tank elevator featured in this video is my personal favorite glitch from BiA:HH.  Watch close for the moonwalk action in the last seconds of the video.
  • Next up we have the ever impressive efforts of [DTG]. I’m sure you knew emerio, and Tbs333 would have a little something for us.

    This title has been a lot of fun around here, and this still is only part of the threads on this game to be found in the forum. If you want to see more drop on by and check out the other threads. Great job to everyone involved in these threads, and the ones to come.

    GlitchBlog Celebrates it’s First Birthday!

    October 13th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 4 Comments (Add your own!)

    Recently GlitchBlog turned one year old.  It has been an exciting, and fun year full of a lot of interesting glitches from next generation consoles, as well as a few of the classics.  The community has grown into a close nit group of glitchers who are very creative, and for the most part quite friendly (except for snakes n barrels, but that is just how he shows love).  We have enjoyed the glitches of clans such as DTG, Silent Glitchers, Chaotic Perfection, Clan FYR, and others, not to mention the individual glitchers who post new stuff regularly.  It is our hope that the next year will bring new members, new games, and more glitches than anyone could have imagined.  We would also like to thank all the people who visit GlitchBlog, and that goes triple for the members, who make this such an addictive community. It is going to be a great year!

    Noggin surfing out of “Lighthouse”

    October 3rd, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 8 Comments (Add your own!)


    GlitchBlog member nickncs has been caught literally using his head (or someone else’s head at least) to gain access to areas outside the developers intentions.  I can identify the head that nickncs was riding across the level on.  It was a great guy who goes by the name: LunerXSoul, who you might already know, and this video could not have come together without his forehead.  So, he rides LunerXSouls head over to a tank, jumps from his head to the tank, and then finally he rides the tank to an area where he can jump from the tank to the outside of the level.  The video also includes some exploration that shows the abundance of various buildings, and some large bodies of water. You can check out all the fun in their forum entry. Insert random “use your head” joke here.

    [DTG] cracks Mercenaries 2 wide open, and then some

    September 4th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 3 Comments (Add your own!)

    The unusually talented clan [DTG] has been working hard, and finding some interesting things in Mercenaries 2.  One glitch video seems to crack the game wide open, glitchwise.  (Hey, “Glitchwise” would be a sweet clan name.)  The video shows how to use a motorcycle to clip yourself into, and/or on top of any building.  Another video they have released features a nice place for some excellent rooftop exploring. Their next glitch video kinda shifts gears a bit, showing a funny slide glitch, as well as a way to go gunless. You have got to admire the excellent work coming out of [DTG] labs these days. Keep an eye on our forums to make sure you catch all their work.

    EA’s new Tiger Woods ad based on a glitch featured on GlitchBlog

    August 21st, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · 1 Comment (Add your own!)

    Way back in October 07 GlitchBlog featured a blog entry called “Tiger Woods wins the funniest glitch award“. We featured many glitches in that entry including one that showed Tiger standing on water. The glitch was found by Levinator 25, and he called it the “Jesus Shot“. EA has now produced a viral ad starring Tiger Woods himself that is an “official response” to that glitch. A wink towards the glitching community from one of the largest developers in the business is a nice thing to see. In my opinion it is a testament to the rapidly growing interest in the glitching community.  It should be an inspiration to all of us glitchers, that is if you concsider that your next big glitch video may be used in a world wide ad campaign.

    Alone in the Darks crazy table glitch

    August 11th, 2008 · SQUIDMACK · No Comments (Add your own!)

    cP sephXclad has posted one of those glitches that really takes pointless to the next level.  Lucky for us it is an awesome glitch to watch in action, and in this case pointless is not a problem.  It seems that he has found a way to get tables in the Alone in the Dark demo to fly around the rooms at insane speeds, and in no apparent pattern.  The glitch was filmed in a lot of different areas, put to music, and compiled into an awesome video.  Just look at those tables fly!  And make sure you see the end, where there are a lot of items glitching around the room.  It really looks like a cyclone going through a teenagers bedroom at one point. Drop by this forum thread to see the glitch, and post some feedback.
