Thanks for the video and I hope you keep this series, your foundation, alive for a long time. There’s just something about your entire persona that is soothing to watch. Your videos don’t always make me crack up but they put a smile of nostalgic pleasure on my face. So thank you and keep up the awesome AVGN that we all love you for.
I’m with Seabass and JustCody. James, you represent everything good about the internet. You can’t see it (at least I hope you can’t), but I’ve got a beer in my hand. It ain’t Rolling Rock but it’ll do. Here’s to you, buddy.
Great video as always. I agree with SEABASS in the fact that your videos aren’t just for humor but for nostalgic value as well. There are always times where I say “Hey I remember that” and there are always times where I laugh my ass off. You are always entertaining weather it is AVGN or your movie reviews. I have high respects for you and all your knowledge, espically with your movies. I notice this is your 92nd AVGN episode. I can’t wait for the 100th episode. I expect it to be excellent, and while I wait for it, I know there will be other great videos in between. I hate people that only watch AVGN and not your other videos.
Haha great stuff, but I feel like you only scratched the surface in terms of game glitches–there’s a lot of very famous glitches out there!! I would definitely love a sequel to this episode!
wow, some of those were pretty epic…I think the glitch I’m most familiar with would have to be when you slip between 2 pieces of architecture and fall out of the world. I’ve encountered it in Sonic, Metroid Prime, The Conduit, and in Kraid’s stage in Smash Bros Melee. It tends to happen where a wall meets a floor, a doorway connecting 2 rooms, or just 2 floorboards…Oh yeah! There is also the Temple of time in Ocarina of Time, which is apparently a medieval TARDIS, because when you step inside it looks small and then once you pass the threshold it becomes much larger.
Fucking Awesome video, It’s about time I don’t see a nice AVGN video with teatrics, they are the best, That glitch goblin was a real motherfucker! I just wish James had beaten him up for good in the end of the video, what an ass, messing up nice games like that..
Worth mentioning that this is not the first time the nerd quotes modern games… I think it is ok once in a while, just hope he doesn’t make an habit of it. Retro gaming is the real essence of AVGN.
Some of the best glitches ever seen. Rocky with bulging eyes and no jaw was probably the scariest thing I’ve even seen, even scarier than Sloth from the Goonies.
This is, undoubtedly, the most interesting and informative video you have to date. The Twilight Zone analogy perfectly sums up my thoughts!
Once again, you have inspired me to do something- even if it isn’t anything to do with my life at all. Now, whenever I play video games, I’m going to look for glitches.
Nice to see Kevin again. The green on his skin looked fantastic, almost perfect. He’s got a lovely Irish accent, too!
Speaking of glitches, I found one once, though it wasn’t really a typical one. I played Spongebob Squarepants: The Battle For Bikini Bottom on XBOX, and I had beaten the final boss, though I didn’t necessarily complete all the levels. Kinda cool, actually.
Of all the games that you have played, which one would you say had the most glitches? Which games had the most frustrating glitches?
James, I was a little scared about where this was going at first. I thought it wasn’t going to be as focused as AVGN usually. it was fuckin’ awesome! I’m glad you showed us some of the weirder glitches. glitches and secrets are my favorite part of the game!.
by the way, has anyone done the swordless Link glitch in Ocarina of Time! it was awesome, I think you could get under the ice in Zora’s domain and use any weapon on Epona.
That was pretty cool. I never knew any of the ones you mentioned. It’s weird seeing them for the first time now, it’s like you threw a big glitch into my memories! I was playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 with a friend back when it came out, and I remember at one point my friend’s character fell off his board, but didn’t get back on, instead he just kept bouncing up and down on his head. We couldn’t fix it. I tried running into him, but it just knocked me off my skateboard. We had to reset the game. It was pretty funny, actually.
I’ve worked on NES emulators, and done NES homebrew. I have somewhat of an idea what went on in that Megaman 5 glitch.
The mapper chip has a counter that’s supposed to tick down every scanline, then it fires an IRQ when its counted all the way down, so the game can split the screen at that particular scanline. And for some reason, that counter wasn’t ticking down. But the counter its tied to the graphics pins on the cartridge, so if the graphics are screwed up, usually the scanline counter breaks too, but having it not work and having correct graphics at the same time is really strange.
The only time I ever saw the IRQ counter screw up like that was in Gremlins 2, where it ‘froze’ half way through the ending.
Seeing the Megaman 5 VHS recording documenting your encounter and eventual triumph over that glitch seemed surreal. Awesome to see something from so long ago make it appropriately into an AVGN episode.
Without traditional saves or reliable password systems, I would sometimes risk it anyways and try to shift the cartridge slightly around and pray that a glitch would go away without resetting the actual game on accident or glitching things up even more.
LOL this made me piss my pants! ITS A CLUBBER FUCK! lol! that was the best. good job james i think people like glitches so much is because they are fub and hilarious
I can remember one time while playing “Super Mario World”, I hit a question mark that an egg popped out of, but it didn’t hatch a Yoshi. Instead, it hatched one of the football flinging enemies. I could actually ride him around though & he still had the Yoshi tongue. I can remember the amusement expressed by myself & my sister at just how royally fucked up it was. Sadly, I listened to her & jumped off halfway through the level & never, ever got that glitch again.
I have a lot to say:
#1 Great video, I’ll be sure to try some of these out
#2 I have a good ljn game “Maximum carnage”
#3 The reason for huge passwords is because they need to figure out what weapons you have, amount of ammo, and where you are in the game
#4 Clubber fuck HAHAHAHAHA
Speaking of Mega Man glitches, in Mega Man 3 if you held left and B on controller 2 it would make Mega Man able to jump almost to the top of the screen and it allowed you to walk in the pits and jump out of them. Also while in a pit if you pressed right on controller 2 it would act as if you died but if you pressed left again and jumped out it would make you invincible however the mega buster no longer worked but the boss weapons still worked.
My most hated glitches came from Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the PS1. That game would glitch if you just looked at it funny.
The rocky stuff was awesome. zombie rocky with a hole in his jaw will haunt me.
The annoying for to me at least is glichs seem to happen when your playing the games for a long time or the game has alot of content like the sims games on any of the conseles. Glitchs, freezing. Its horriable you just have to make sure to save alot
Here’s a glitch I just now came across in the MMORPG, Perfect World International. It may be only on my screen however, but it’s a glitch none the less. I just created a new character on a different server for the first time, and this is what I got! Also, note the characters avatar up in the left hand corner.
I remember when I was a kid, I had an awesome random Megaman 2 glitch. that I could not ever get to reoccur. I was in Heatman’s stage, and jumping through the gate that would take me into the bosses room, (now I jumped through it, not walked) and it paused me at my vertical level, and sent me across the screen, past heatman, and through a gate on the opposite wall. That gate took me to Dr. Wily stage 1. I forget what item I had equipped at the time, or how far I was in the game. I usually did Heatman last.
awesome video. I have the Rocky game on PS2 and I never had a glitch on it. I have that black NES cleaner but I do not use it. I take a popsicle stick, a towel, and windex. Put the popsicle stick in the towel and windex one side. Clean the cartridge. Take the other side and to dry it. It works. Like one time recent I was playing Batman NES and my brother lightly drop his phone next to the NES. The rumble made the game glitch and I was on the last level and had to start over. Lucky I beaten it that night and I did not know what to play next.
The only glitch I can remember triggering on purpose was the Rygar one where you walk on top of the landscape boundaries. It was always cool to try and find new areas to enter the glitch and try and explore as much as possible.
The nerd survived the assault. However no RESET button will ever erase this little mishap from his mind. The events that took place tonight will forever remain in his memory, reminding him of the disadvantages that playing shitty games will always have. Nevertheless he will carry on, because he carries a strong sense of duty that encourages him to do so, and with that, there is no secret code to simplify the task. Because for him as well as for all of us, there´s no tellling when we´ll find a warp… to the Twilight Zone.
Like everyoneI really hate game glitches. although they tend to occur on the PC.
The most common glitch I get is the “minimize to windows” glitch…and if you try and maximize the game again, despite it not being run in a window, it screws up the game and you have to reset the computer.
I developed a rather violent approach to this…Whenever this happens, because the computer tower is right next to my right leg, my foot automatically swings left and then right and I kick the bastard in anger…either that or I punch or strangle the monitor.
I wouldnt recommend this though, you could seriosuly damage your computer…and I need some Ritalin!
Well the fucking GT website make a glitch in the comments area, Damn!!! but here is my comment well in first rhgerjfh847 4rrfhbrfh7y()()(%T$%R!·$R”$·R”·$F4gvtgbtybn6uh5ynbtyn

OOO fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha, very good video James. thanks!!
i believe you forgot one of the most popular and helpful glitches in all time,… the MissingNo. in Pokemon,… y remember creating a huge colection of pokemons (with the glitch help of course) when i just do the incorrect thing (i belive catching him,.. or something like that,.. im not sure) and fucked up and erase all my game and data hahahahahhaa i was so pissed off that i never end that game…..
there’s a glitch on TGWTG.com, whenever i scroll over videos > team TGWTG > Brad Jones, the whole list disappears =O
That was hilarious btw, especially the clubber-fuck part XD lol
the video crashed halfway through for me!! plus it was constantly freezing
the irony would be delicious if it wasn’t so annoying
I remember the famous ‘freeze’ glitch on Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 for Sega where, even on the very hard setting, if you jump-kicked the enemy, and jumped back while he was still on the ground, he would get up and do nothing; he’d just stand there for a good few seconds (freeze), allowing you to jump-kick him again
There were a good few glitches on the old Sonic games too.
This was one of your best episodes James. It was nice to show the younger audience how it was to be a gamer back in the NES days of having to deal with these glitches and the some of the methods of trying to fix it. Good job on another great video.
Also, I played MK: Shaolin Monks on PS2 for the first time, and when I got to Reptile, as soon as the fight started, the camera jumped down under the ground and was pointing up at the characters. I tried pressing all the buttons, but after about 2 seconds, it suddenly cut again, right to Reptile’s fatality. Game Over.
Well done, James.
This episode was awesome.
What was that move the Glitch Greamlin made in the end, it looked familiar. The move where he ‘grabbed the glitches from his balls’ sorta speak.
Don’t listen to the nay sayers James. I have seen all of your AVGN videos and I thought that this one was great!! Every gamer old and young can relate to this. (Although the all too familiar flicker of a gliching nes had me rolling.)
There was a glitch I’d perform all the time in Super Mario Bros. 2, its been partially fixed in the all-stars version, but can still work sometime. Its still best to do it in the NES version. what you do is collect 4 cherries, drop a door potion and go through the door, while on the dark side, collect the 5th cherry to make the star appear, collect it and then wait or go through the door, back on the normal side when the star goes way, you should hear the dark side’s music on the normal side. It is possible to play through the entire level like this, so long as nothing effects the music.
i’m not really one for commenting, but this was one of the best episodes. like the classic ones, but with vastly improved quality. you sure aren’t stalling, james. 🙂
Awesome video James! As usual, you know how to bring something fresh and original to the table other than just one game review after another. I have to say that I was never a fan of the forced anger and superfluous rants for effect, so unlike some other people, I like the newer mellower nerd who is calm and explanatory where he needs to be, and angry when it is justified.
Great video James!!! It totally brought me back to times where I have found glitches myself haha! I think my favorite glitch was from Zelda ocarina of time. This glitch is called the debug code, i’m sure someone has already listed this but I think you will enjoy this glitch if you got the time. Again great video and I cant wait to see other videos of yours soon =).
I liked it. I like my nerd with a little less insane rage and instead more information about the game(s) presented in the nerd’s way. (I’m not saying “take the ‘angry’ out of the AVGN” or anything)
We used to put the NES games under our shirts and then blow in them through the shirt. For some reason it works. It’s awesome that Kevin showed up again!!
i remember the missingno glitch from pokemon red and blue see if you can review spellunker 1 and 2 but 2 is japanese but nothing a walkthrough cant help
Wow that’s allot of glitches. Just how long have you been collecting them? Did you ever do the N64 Mario Kart one where you drive perfectly at a corner and somehow pass between the edges of the corner?
i think you need to try gta 4 online or offline HOLY FUCK me and my friend we founded like 30 glitches no jokes and in gta 4 the ballade of guy tony we have found we can fly IM NOT KIDDING in gta they have like 2000 glitches
I wonder if the nintendo toaster doesn’t effect the circuit card since you don’t eject the game instead just pull it, highly unlikely but it could perhaps be a factor to cause more graphic glitches.
My friends and I found these really weird glitches back when we got sick of playing Mario 64, if you play the game, then wiggle the cartrige around, and very slightly try to pull it out, Mario can have seisures, can turn into a legless, armless stub of a body lying down floating in mid air, one time we were messing around with it and went through a door, only to be stuck in pitch black limbo, the door disappeared. You could sometimes jump ridiculously high and walk through walls, and for no reason, get rocketed in one direction, in one level we ended up flying out like 100m from the stage 0_o
awesome video again james! dont know if u would do this but it would be nice if there was a sequel to this video where u finally defeat the gremlin for putting u through this hell! maybe sometime in the future u might consider it cuz just like bugs bunny, he will never leave u alone! again keep up the good work
I think its the warm air from your breath that for some reason will get your games to fire up…but i use the classic NES and usually i just put the game in and then start wiggling the cartridge until you can see the title screen then press reset presto! prolly not good for the 72 pin i dunno it works…and super mario 2 i dunno if its a glitch but the mask guy if you grab the key and go outside the room and then set the key down for a few moments and then pick it up again the mask fucker will stop following you for an extended period of time, long enough for you to do what you gotta do…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If at first you are unsure about whether or not an episode of the AVGN is funny, watch it a second time. First time I was like “WTF with the glitch gremlin” thing, but watch it again and you see that it’s brilliant. I will say that at the end, watching the glitches from Rocky was kind of scary. It’s that sort of breakdown of reality(in game at least) that tends to fuel nightmares and stuff.
I also notice that there were some things that James didn’t go over. Actually it’s cool that he mentioned a glitch from the Atari game where most people would have obviously have gone for the secret world in Metroid. All in all it was pretty good. Now I can’t wait to see what fun James is going to show us next month. It’s hard waiting, but for some reason time just seems to fly by.
I like the Mega Man X4 glitch where you hit web spider with a charged twin slasher before he ascends for the first time, he becomes invincible and kills you.
i didnt get it till just now, but theres a fucking glitch on your link in your homepage! i thought my pc was just bummin it up, but you goddamn did that intentionaly. takes faith in a fan base to pull some shit like that. nice job on the theme, and i appreciate the effort put into your archives. good ep
There are tons of glitches out there, impossible to bring them all into one vid…
I liked the Mario walkthrough, a gameseries that is often referred to as “perfect” 🙂 I missed the Mario 64 glitch at that point though… when you are outside the castle and got the hat with wings, you can fly into the “princess peach”-window 😀
Wow, I guess that “mythical” release date wasn’t too far off the mark. Anyway I’ve tried watching this four times, but I can’t get past the first 20 seconds. The vid keeps glitching up on me… fucking glitch gremlin or something.
July 7, 2010 at 11:08 pm
at last!
July 7, 2010 at 11:09 pm
great video idea, james
July 7, 2010 at 11:11 pm

July 7, 2010 at 11:13 pm
great video!
July 7, 2010 at 11:15 pm
woooooooooot – the caca duki is up 😀

July 7, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Haha great stuff, but I feel like you only scratched the surface in terms of game glitches–there’s a lot of very famous glitches out there!! I would definitely love a sequel to this episode!
July 7, 2010 at 11:44 pm
James, the Glitch Gremlin is the funniest new character you’ve created in a long time. He’s soooooo funny and I love the accent.
July 7, 2010 at 11:45 pm
wow, some of those were pretty epic…I think the glitch I’m most familiar with would have to be when you slip between 2 pieces of architecture and fall out of the world.

July 7, 2010 at 11:49 pm
wow, I LOVE HOW you resemble your other reviews like SMB3, Great video, Best of 2010. PERIOD, or tied with action 52
July 7, 2010 at 11:49 pm
Fucking Awesome video, It’s about time I don’t see a nice AVGN video with teatrics, they are the best, That glitch goblin was a real motherfucker! I just wish James had beaten him up for good in the end of the video, what an ass, messing up nice games like that..

Great Vid but what the hell happened to the “33” cause the beer you’re drinking isn’t the “33”.
July 7, 2010 at 11:50 pm
oh, my god, those Rocky glitches were cracking me up, those were hilarious.
you sure love to have guest characters in you videos, don’t you?
July 7, 2010 at 11:54 pm
Some of the best glitches ever seen. Rocky with bulging eyes and no jaw was probably the scariest thing I’ve even seen, even scarier than Sloth from the Goonies.
July 8, 2010 at 12:00 am
Sign me up for more Kevin Finn. Dude is hilarious. Loved him in Ninja Gaiden and in this.
July 8, 2010 at 12:05 am
fuck rip off glitches
July 8, 2010 at 12:07 am
lol the rocky game was freakin hilarious! Its a clubberfuck!
The Glitch Gremlin was funny with the irish accent.

July 8, 2010 at 12:25 am
That was fucking hilarious, James. I’ve had many similar glitches. The Rocky game for the PS2 was just weird. Who’s your friend playing the Gremlin?
July 8, 2010 at 12:30 am

That gate took me to Dr. Wily stage 1. I forget what item I had equipped at the time, or how far I was in the game. I usually did Heatman last.

awesome video. I have the Rocky game on PS2 and I never had a glitch on it. I have that black NES cleaner but I do not use it. I take a popsicle stick, a towel, and windex. Put the popsicle stick in the towel and windex one side. Clean the cartridge. Take the other side and to dry it. It works. Like one time recent I was playing Batman NES and my brother lightly drop his phone next to the NES. The rumble made the game glitch and I was on the last level and had to start over. Lucky I beaten it that night and I did not know what to play next.
July 8, 2010 at 1:35 am
The only glitch I can remember triggering on purpose was the Rygar one where you walk on top of the landscape boundaries. It was always cool to try and find new areas to enter the glitch and try and explore as much as possible.
July 8, 2010 at 1:36 am
I found this episode interesting, but too slow and ultimately weak.
The gremlin had way too much screen time.
Instead you should have shown more crazy stuff. Least good episode in 2010, but still entertaining.

The Game Graphics Glitch Grimlin, otherwise known as G4
oh snap
July 8, 2010 at 1:46 am
OH MY GOD! That Rocky game is FUCKED UP! Damn, Bugeyed Balboa and Spider Ricko with NO jaw? DAAAAAAMMNN.
July 8, 2010 at 1:48 am
The nerd survived the assault. However no RESET button will ever erase this little mishap from his mind. The events that took place tonight will forever remain in his memory, reminding him of the disadvantages that playing shitty games will always have. Nevertheless he will carry on, because he carries a strong sense of duty that encourages him to do so, and with that, there is no secret code to simplify the task. Because for him as well as for all of us, there´s no tellling when we´ll find a warp… to the Twilight Zone.
July 8, 2010 at 1:50 am
Like everyoneI really hate game glitches. although they tend to occur on the PC.
The most common glitch I get is the “minimize to windows” glitch…and if you try and maximize the game again, despite it not being run in a window, it screws up the game and you have to reset the computer.
I developed a rather violent approach to this…Whenever this happens, because the computer tower is right next to my right leg, my foot automatically swings left and then right and I kick the bastard in anger…either that or I punch or strangle the monitor.
I wouldnt recommend this though, you could seriosuly damage your computer…and I need some Ritalin!

RIP AVGN
July 8, 2010 at 2:13 am
Nice vid James! It kinda reminds me of my childhood, I really thought games were made of magic and gremlins! XD
July 8, 2010 at 2:17 am
Well the fucking GT website make a glitch in the comments area, Damn!!! but here is my comment well in first rhgerjfh847 4rrfhbrfh7y()()(%T$%R!·$R”$·R”·$F4gvtgbtybn6uh5ynbtyn

OOO fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha, very good video James. thanks!!
July 8, 2010 at 2:32 am
i believe you forgot one of the most popular and helpful glitches in all time,… the MissingNo. in Pokemon,… y remember creating a huge colection of pokemons (with the glitch help of course) when i just do the incorrect thing (i belive catching him,.. or something like that,.. im not sure) and fucked up and erase all my game and data hahahahahhaa i was so pissed off that i never end that game…..
July 8, 2010 at 2:49 am
Greatest AVGN episode this year and in a long time!
July 8, 2010 at 2:51 am
god i dont miss blowing into cartridges… this brings back so many memories
July 8, 2010 at 3:25 am
there’s a glitch on TGWTG.com, whenever i scroll over videos > team TGWTG > Brad Jones, the whole list disappears =O
That was hilarious btw, especially the clubber-fuck part XD lol
July 8, 2010 at 3:31 am
awsome dude, the rocky part make me laugh so much that i almost shit my pants
July 8, 2010 at 3:38 am
For waiting so long, that was sure a boring AVGN episode.
July 8, 2010 at 3:53 am
Yeah, that one was good, though in my opinion it would have been funnier if you’d have left the Glitch Gremlin out and showed more glitches instead.
July 8, 2010 at 4:02 am
That was awesome! The start and the end of the clip? Amazing! 😀
July 8, 2010 at 4:14 am
the video crashed halfway through for me!! plus it was constantly freezing
the irony would be delicious if it wasn’t so annoying
I remember the famous ‘freeze’ glitch on Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 for Sega where, even on the very hard setting, if you jump-kicked the enemy, and jumped back while he was still on the ground, he would get up and do nothing; he’d just stand there for a good few seconds (freeze), allowing you to jump-kick him again
There were a good few glitches on the old Sonic games too.
July 8, 2010 at 4:32 am
Great episode although I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Donkey Kong Country glitch. You know which one I’m talking about!
July 8, 2010 at 4:58 am
This was one of your best episodes James. It was nice to show the younger audience how it was to be a gamer back in the NES days of having to deal with these glitches and the some of the methods of trying to fix it. Good job on another great video.
July 8, 2010 at 5:16 am
In River City Ransom, or rather: “Street Gangs”, the European version for NES, you can do a hurricane kick by standing in a specific spot and pressing jump and kick. I recorded it here: http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll243/ShoRyuBarbie/Majestic%20Screenshots/SG_Tatsu_Anim.gif
Also, I played MK: Shaolin Monks on PS2 for the first time, and when I got to Reptile, as soon as the fight started, the camera jumped down under the ground and was pointing up at the characters. I tried pressing all the buttons, but after about 2 seconds, it suddenly cut again, right to Reptile’s fatality. Game Over.
July 8, 2010 at 5:19 am
Well done, James.
This episode was awesome.
What was that move the Glitch Greamlin made in the end, it looked familiar. The move where he ‘grabbed the glitches from his balls’ sorta speak.
July 8, 2010 at 5:19 am
Don’t listen to the nay sayers James. I have seen all of your AVGN videos and I thought that this one was great!! Every gamer old and young can relate to this. (Although the all too familiar flicker of a gliching nes had me rolling.)
July 8, 2010 at 5:24 am
the games with masses of glitches are the gta series, especially san andreas. stuff like the blue heaven, and the super smg bicycle jump.
July 8, 2010 at 5:36 am
I was expecting you to show off the infamous crooked cartridge trick on the N64, but great video nonetheless.
July 8, 2010 at 5:46 am
IT’S A CLUBBERFUCK!!!!! hahhaha
Yeah, I don’t think the nerd was too angry in this one, he was more clubberfucked then anything.
July 8, 2010 at 5:52 am
awesome!
July 8, 2010 at 6:05 am
That was great! I really enjoyed that. Looking forward to whatever you have next month.
July 8, 2010 at 6:29 am
The fighters lift into the ground! I laughed so hard! 😀
July 8, 2010 at 6:31 am
Epic Episode!^^
July 8, 2010 at 6:34 am
There was a glitch I’d perform all the time in Super Mario Bros. 2, its been partially fixed in the all-stars version, but can still work sometime. Its still best to do it in the NES version. what you do is collect 4 cherries, drop a door potion and go through the door, while on the dark side, collect the 5th cherry to make the star appear, collect it and then wait or go through the door, back on the normal side when the star goes way, you should hear the dark side’s music on the normal side. It is possible to play through the entire level like this, so long as nothing effects the music.
July 8, 2010 at 6:39 am
Great episode James, well worth the wait! 😀
July 8, 2010 at 6:41 am
Geez… people, I laughed. I had a good time. Maybe James should start a list of ten AVGN episodes that “aren’t THAT bad”. 😀
July 8, 2010 at 6:50 am
I laughed until I cried at the Clubber Lang part. 😀
Please review Total Recall for the NES!

July 8, 2010 at 7:18 am
What a nostalgic headrush. I couldn’t have been happier with this vid. Can’t wait until next month!
July 8, 2010 at 7:20 am
i’m not really one for commenting, but this was one of the best episodes. like the classic ones, but with vastly improved quality. you sure aren’t stalling, james. 🙂
July 8, 2010 at 7:22 am
Awesome video James! As usual, you know how to bring something fresh and original to the table other than just one game review after another. I have to say that I was never a fan of the forced anger and superfluous rants for effect, so unlike some other people, I like the newer mellower nerd who is calm and explanatory where he needs to be, and angry when it is justified.
Thanks for all the hard work.
July 8, 2010 at 7:44 am
this is the funniest vid in a long time! great work, man!
July 8, 2010 at 8:03 am
Great video James!!! It totally brought me back to times where I have found glitches myself haha! I think my favorite glitch was from Zelda ocarina of time. This glitch is called the debug code, i’m sure someone has already listed this but I think you will enjoy this glitch if you got the time. Again great video and I cant wait to see other videos of yours soon =).
Zelda Glitch:

July 8, 2010 at 8:09 am
I played pokemon yellow and there was allegedly a glitch where you could have a pokemon have his health increase indefinitely……
well I had Mu two, and every time i turned on the game every single stat he had would increase by 1.
he became so overwhelmingly powerful, and i deleted him by accident. i was a dumb kid.
July 8, 2010 at 8:10 am
I liked it. I like my nerd with a little less insane rage and instead more information about the game(s) presented in the nerd’s way. (I’m not saying “take the ‘angry’ out of the AVGN” or anything)
July 8, 2010 at 8:13 am
Hey nerd, you should check out this video that happened to me. Crazy glitch in Capcom vs SNK!

When cideo started I tought its lagging, but you did it on purpose
July 8, 2010 at 8:43 am
So thats why my games stop working…
July 8, 2010 at 8:59 am
haha, awesome as always!
July 8, 2010 at 9:00 am
That was pretty cool. Its kinda nice that the avgn is a little more comedic and less over-the-top- angry. Very good review.
“Holy shit, it’s a CLUBBERFUCK!”
July 8, 2010 at 9:21 am
We used to put the NES games under our shirts and then blow in them through the shirt. For some reason it works. It’s awesome that Kevin showed up again!!
July 8, 2010 at 9:32 am
i remember the missingno glitch from pokemon red and blue see if you can review spellunker 1 and 2 but 2 is japanese but nothing a walkthrough cant help
July 8, 2010 at 9:38 am
This was on of the most entertaining AVGN episodes in a long time :))
July 8, 2010 at 9:43 am
Okay…why was this posted on GT and ScrewAttack at the same time? Wouldn’t that undermine you in terms of views and revenue?
July 8, 2010 at 9:46 am
Wow that’s allot of glitches. Just how long have you been collecting them? Did you ever do the N64 Mario Kart one where you drive perfectly at a corner and somehow pass between the edges of the corner?
July 8, 2010 at 9:46 am
i think you need to try gta 4 online or offline HOLY FUCK me and my friend we founded like 30 glitches no jokes and in gta 4 the ballade of guy tony we have found we can fly IM NOT KIDDING in gta they have like 2000 glitches
July 8, 2010 at 10:05 am
I wonder if the nintendo toaster doesn’t effect the circuit card since you don’t eject the game instead just pull it, highly unlikely but it could perhaps be a factor to cause more graphic glitches.
July 8, 2010 at 10:08 am
The way I use too fix my NES games was too blow once too the left then suck back too the right… good times 🙂
July 8, 2010 at 10:10 am
My friends and I found these really weird glitches back when we got sick of playing Mario 64, if you play the game, then wiggle the cartrige around, and very slightly try to pull it out, Mario can have seisures, can turn into a legless, armless stub of a body lying down floating in mid air, one time we were messing around with it and went through a door, only to be stuck in pitch black limbo, the door disappeared. You could sometimes jump ridiculously high and walk through walls, and for no reason, get rocketed in one direction, in one level we ended up flying out like 100m from the stage 0_o
July 8, 2010 at 10:22 am
Nicely done James, I liked how you can see the Gremlin’s reflection in the Nintoaster. This episode was great, clearly one of the top 10 Nerd videos.
July 8, 2010 at 10:30 am
awesome video again james! dont know if u would do this but it would be nice if there was a sequel to this video where u finally defeat the gremlin for putting u through this hell! maybe sometime in the future u might consider it cuz just like bugs bunny, he will never leave u alone! again keep up the good work
July 8, 2010 at 10:33 am
Fucking brilliant episode. You’ve still got it James.
July 8, 2010 at 10:37 am
Lol the Ghosts name at the beginning was BasiFuk
July 8, 2010 at 10:38 am
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! u funny motherfucker
ignore the swearing that’s actually a good thing
July 8, 2010 at 11:10 am
I think its the warm air from your breath that for some reason will get your games to fire up…but i use the classic NES and usually i just put the game in and then start wiggling the cartridge until you can see the title screen then press reset presto! prolly not good for the 72 pin i dunno it works…and super mario 2 i dunno if its a glitch but the mask guy if you grab the key and go outside the room and then set the key down for a few moments and then pick it up again the mask fucker will stop following you for an extended period of time, long enough for you to do what you gotta do…
July 8, 2010 at 11:12 am
Its funny, i was just about to send a request for this
July 8, 2010 at 11:15 am
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If at first you are unsure about whether or not an episode of the AVGN is funny, watch it a second time. First time I was like “WTF with the glitch gremlin” thing, but watch it again and you see that it’s brilliant. I will say that at the end, watching the glitches from Rocky was kind of scary. It’s that sort of breakdown of reality(in game at least) that tends to fuel nightmares and stuff.
I also notice that there were some things that James didn’t go over. Actually it’s cool that he mentioned a glitch from the Atari game where most people would have obviously have gone for the secret world in Metroid. All in all it was pretty good. Now I can’t wait to see what fun James is going to show us next month. It’s hard waiting, but for some reason time just seems to fly by.
July 8, 2010 at 11:17 am
I like the Mega Man X4 glitch where you hit web spider with a charged twin slasher before he ascends for the first time, he becomes invincible and kills you.
July 8, 2010 at 11:25 am
i didnt get it till just now, but theres a fucking glitch on your link in your homepage! i thought my pc was just bummin it up, but you goddamn did that intentionaly. takes faith in a fan base to pull some shit like that. nice job on the theme, and i appreciate the effort put into your archives. good ep
July 8, 2010 at 11:33 am
woooow. That was awesome…..As usual. the stupid glitch dumbwad was annoying but the remix of the theme song was really good at the end.
July 8, 2010 at 11:54 am
That one was really brilliant!
There are tons of glitches out there, impossible to bring them all into one vid…
I liked the Mario walkthrough, a gameseries that is often referred to as “perfect” 🙂 I missed the Mario 64 glitch at that point though… when you are outside the castle and got the hat with wings, you can fly into the “princess peach”-window 😀
Keep on playin’!
July 8, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Wow, I guess that “mythical” release date wasn’t too far off the mark. Anyway I’ve tried watching this four times, but I can’t get past the first 20 seconds. The vid keeps glitching up on me… fucking glitch gremlin or something.
