With the whole “ship now patch later” mentality of modern game development, game glitches, at least in early versions of major games, are probably more glitch filled than any game from the last century.

[@nesoukkefka1741]

So the canon of the AVGN universe is that the Gremlin Glitch mess with these games during their development and then the creator have to patch all the mess the Gremplin Glitch caused ?

[@PikaLink91]

Indeed.

[@danbauer3669]

Modern gaming is trash. You point out one of the many, many reasons. PS2 is the newest console I still buy games for.

[@SniperDiplomat]

Not even close. This is just survivorship bias. The NES and SNES eras had some straight-up unplayable games. Nowadays they're so rare that when one does come out, it becomes famous (Gollum game)

[@JLT0087]

Even if games do ship with more glitches (which I kind of doubt) they're also a lot better about making sure the glitches actually get patched, and the patches get to the game owners. Trying to get some of my PC games to run right back in the era of DOS and Win 3.1 took a heck of a lot of trial and error.

Being an OG AVGN fan since 2006! This is quite possibly the best Christmas present ever. Thank you nerd for all the years of never-ending laughs! 😊😂😭⛄🎁🌲

half the glitch footage in this video is older than the glitch gremlin character himself lol

[@1984nightrider]

I always loved kevin finn as the glitch gremlin, I really hope there is another episode with him in it.

Imagine Vieutiful Joe 2 carrying that glitch into the actual game release. That would be devastating.

[@angelemmanuelperezmuniz1474]

Is terrifying to know some games can do that. At least with Jak X Combat Racing and Soul Calibur III the damage was done in its own game.

i was scared of playing the original thinking it was going to do this lol. but then i got a test memory card

[@callmeshaggy5166]

Once I saw this being a thing as a kid, I stopped leaving my cards in and only put them in when I needed to save

18 years, and James is still a guy making funny videos in his basement with his friends - and earning the respect of his audience. Loved this, actually guffawed a couple of times. Merry Glitch-mas!

[@MusicFromAnotherTime]

The Glitch Gremlin is The Joker to The Nerd's Batman. They complete each other.

[@Tulemasin]

I was really hoping for Nerd's furious outburst at the end when the memory card got wiped. Like a Tom and Jerry episode where they almost made peace but the episode still ends with them continuing fighting.

[@macdaddymario]

That's the trilogy ender. Glitches pop up again in more games. He regrets bringing him back. They so nearly rebond at the episode end only for your ending to happen. Showing everyone the symbiotic relationship gamers have with glitches. It's forever to be a love/hate relationship.

That Holiday 2004 demo disc made my dad absolutely rage He was convinced we had gone in and deleted all his saves but we swore we didn't Found out from Game Informer a month or two later what happened

[@TrashQueenAndKing]

Mom always thought I erased her games when it was just the save battery being wonky

[@sanguineel]

Most unrealistic part of this episode, including the inclusion of a mythical glitch gremlin, is modern game companies actually patching all the glitches

You can tell that AVGN never played any Bethesda games.

That’s not true. Plenty of games have been pretty much cleaned of most glitches.

That’s making a generalization and I don’t like it

@@raledeadpool6455when he goes to see the glitch gremlin in the forest in the beginning, there are a bunch of white symbols and stuff falling. It's because it's where the glitch gremlin lives so ofcourse it's gonna be coding and a whole bunch of symbols for snowfall

This was so great, I've glitched me britches. I can't believe the Nerd played the PS5. I haven't even gotten there yet. That Miles Morales glitch is fascinating to me. Mrs. Glitch is extremely marriable. Kevin Finn's improv was impeccable.
