Welcome to a world where a game's physics engine doesn't dictate what happens. Welcome to a world where damage means nothing, or everything. A world where random spawns are the norm, where accidents DO happen. Welcome to a world of Glitches. Welcome, to The Glitch Files, where you will encounter some of the strangest, most bizarre, and downright odd glitches of the gaming world. Not only will we show you footage of the glitch, but will give directions on how to exactly preform said glitch for yourself!
Today's special features the Kamikaze Mr. Game & Watch, from Super Smash Brothers Melee on the Nintendo GameCube. In this glitch, Mr. Game & Watch is turned into a lethal Kamikaze weapon, automatically KO'ing anyone who gets in his path.
Now, for a visual representation of the glitch by Percon2.
This glitch is pretty fun to do if you are playing 3 player mode and your friend leaves to do something for a moment, or just to do to goof off without tricking others!
Now, for the instructions. You will need a copy of Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mr. Game & Watch as one character, and Ness as another character. The other 2 players be any other players.
Steps:
Start up the game and enter any multiplayer game mode as Ness and Mr. Game and Watch.
Position Mr. G & W next to Ness, and have Ness fully charge a PK Flash, and have Mr. G & W use his bucket on the PK Flash. This should fill up one-third of the bucket.
Repeat 2 more times until his bucket is completely full.
You now have a kamikaze Mr. Game and Watch! Once you use the bucket move again, Mr. Game and Watch will be thrown from the screen. If he touches any other player during this point, that player will also be thrown from the screen!
This video also features a small 'aside' of sorts, which, by itself, is nifty, but pretty pointless other than seeing the electricity dancing around Ness. The Kamikaze, however, can be used to prank friends while playing, and so forth. Make sure not to cause trouble though! I know you won't!
However, it is that time again... Until next time... Happy Glitching!

Its pretty exciting and once we get in I'll by starting a Blog, with pics, to chronicle the setup up this game room. I'll also be asking for advice on many things im sure.
I wrote this in response to a posting on a message board where the user wrote: "Being a 'hardcore gamer' these days involves playing hour upon hour of WoW or FPS on your computer."
That got me thinking. What does it mean to be hardcore player? I certainly consider myself a hardcore player, and over the past few weeks I've played at the most three or four hours of videogames. In fact, I've spent more time scanning magazines and planning new displays for my videogames then actually playing them. Never in a million years would I describe my gaming habits as casual.
I firmly believe that the style of gamer you are completely relies on what games you like to play. Do you play only party games on Wii, or nothing but Rockband? Once you have mastered these games will you stop gaming altogether? These represent the gaming habits of a casual gamer, who will only generally only play games that are simple (I'm using the word 'simple' very loosely, so don't flame please) to pick up and play, and also to put back down again. Once the challenge is gone, or once there is nothing left but an arbitrary thing such as score, a casual player will put the game down and not play it again until it is required in a social situation. However many casual gamers will play these games for hundreds of hours on end. I had an old work friend describe how he played Space Invaders on the Atari VCS for weeks at a time, but he never played anything else, and abandoned the game after the Crash of '83.
Hardcore gamers, however, are different. While game companies and distributors will describe a gamer exclusively by the game they play and how frequently they purchase said games, I believe a hardcore gamer can be defined by not only the type of game they play, but also their habits in playing them. Did you play GTA to see for the story, or for the challenge of getting into impossible places the designers hadn't thought of? Did you play a FF game so much that you could finish the game with only one character? Did you write the FAQ on how to do this? Did you read the same FAQ so you could do the learn how that player did it? These are all habits of a hardcore gamer. However these aren't the limits. A hardcore gamer can be a person who plays anything, anytime, for any reason. The real difference between casual and hardcore is that a hardcore gamer will continue to game, regardless of social constraints placed upon them by those of the gaming industry and the media. A casual gamer will often stop gaming if it is considered uncool (which is what I believe really caused the Videogame Crash, that is, perception of games through the media and societal figures), or if they have "played the game out".
So by utilizing what I have stated above, a casual gamer can be someone who plays WoW or an FPS for hundreds of hours, and a hardcore gamer can be someone who only plays games on their current Nintendo system. Confused? That's alright, if there was no confusion then there would be no discussion.
In summary, please remember that we are all gamers, and even though casual gamers may or may not have caused the Crash of '83 (ahem), there is no reason we cannot have a civil discussion without poo-slinging and name-calling.
Hello people, I've noticed now that even though I don't have an impressive game room, you have to admit I have a cool gaming shelf for someone who only spends alot on games. Now it has gotten onto the fourth stage of evolving so I thought I'll show you the evolution stages of my Shelf of Doom, reason calling that because really I don't have much of a gaming room, just my bedroom with posters on the wall and games all in one general area.
So, the podcast had to be put on hold due to some car problems taking up a lot of my time (and money), but until it finally comes out, I managed to go out of town this weekend and managed to hit up some game stores and thrift stores. Kind of a slow weekend for finds until we were on our way out of town.
Another slow week, not terrible, but just really slow. For some reason, there just wasn't as many garage sales as there usually is, and what ones there were, were mostly all junk. Kind of ironically since I got a Space Invaders Deluxe arcade cab bezel last week, I almost bought a Space Invaders Deluxe cocktail cab. But when I asked how much it was, he said it was his neighbors and he wants "big money" for it. And then proceeded to tell me that it was the very first arcade game ever made, and that it was very rare etc. He never did give me a price on it. It was in sad shape anyway, the top was heavily scratched and the pain was flaking and the sides were warped and chipped and dirty.
Some games are there for you to have fun. Some, to make you think. Others, like in Civilization IV, are both fun, and stretch the old noodle, in addition to being highly addictive. Warning: If you have an addictive personality, and have not already played a Civilization game, play this at your own risk. I feel it has to potential to eat up thousands of hours of my time, as well as yours.
I used to play Starcraft over 10Mbit LAN with my uncle when I was 7, him on his Sony Vaio, and I on an old 66Mhz Pentium MMX. Those were my first dabbles in the foray of the Strategy genre. I liked it, but I liked just spending time with my uncle more than playing the game. I didn't understand all the concepts either, which explains why I always lost. A while back, I found a download for a converted to run on OSX copy of Civilization II. Again, I liked it, but not a whole lot. It was primitive to me, and it didn't capture my attention.
However, recently, I was lent a copy of Civilization IV: Complete, and installed it on the XP side of dual boot. After getting through the tutorial, I was impressed. Very impressed, I might add. Instantly hooked, too. After only playing the tutorial, I was hooked. Now, if that isn't addictive, I don't know what is.
In Civilization IV, you can lead one of 18 different civilizations, and even more with expansion packs such as Beyond the Sword. You begin the game at the dawn of man, in the year 4000BC, to found your civilization. As the game progresses, you can learn new technologies, found new towns, built world wonders, form armies, and conquer the world. To win at a game of Civ, you either have to 1)have an immense amount of culture (Cultural Victory), 2)Take over all other Civilizations (Conquest/Domination Victory), 3)Build a space ship to Alpha Centauri (Space Race Victory), 4)Have the other players vote you into office in the United Nations (Diplomatic Victory), 5)Having the most points by 2050AD (Time Victory).
One of the reasons why I like it so much is because of the attention to details. Many people can recall that in the Sims franchise, the charaters don't actually talk. They speak in a babble, unintelligible dribble. The same goes for Civilization Revolution. However, in Civ IV, if you are the Russians, they speak Russian, Chinese speaks Chinese, and so forth. AND, if you zoom into one of the ethnic cities, you hear sounds of that type of city in real life. That kind of detail really made me feel as though the designers behind the game really wanted to give the gamer the full experience. Not many games make you feel in such a way, and it made me realize that a video game can still, to this day, be made in an artful and beautiful way. I highly encourage anyone who likes Strategry video games or board games, or even those who don't, to try this game.
Since I got this very cheaply and the shrinkwrap is bad enough anyway so why not. Also, I noticed somethings that make me question if this was a reseal or poorly produced version. The case is cracked and has that white smudge at the corner, and some of the tidbits that holds the CD in it's place are bent downwards. Either way it doesn't matter because I got it very cheaply and I can replace the case and CD holder (which I did), and the CD and manual are in pristine, undamaged condition.
After several weeks of slow sales and meager finds, I'm finally back into the swing of finding treasure after treasure. The weekend started out pretty slow, but picked up on Saturday and ended amazingly on Sunday.
Hey Everyone! I've got some new games and I've been busy since the holiday has begun a couple of weeks ago. My Mega CD Collection is still growing and I'm not gonna let it stop, it still hasn't been a whole year since I officially started yet.
So, Pepsi is running a promotion right now where you buy a bottle of Pepsi and get a code to enter into a contest to win Rock Band related prizes or get a downloadable track for free. Now with the PS3 and 360 versions, it generates a code that you can use to download a track that you choose, however with the Wii version it spits out a code redeemable for 200 Nintendo points, regardless of which song you choose. These 200 points don't have to be used on Rock Band tracks, so you can use them to get Virtual Console, WiiWare, or DSiWare games! Let Current.com user PacoDG tell you how to do it:
Granted you're not saving a ton of money since the cost of a Pepsi is about $1.50, but hey, you still get a Pepsi out of the deal. I'm going to try this and go for Gradius Rebirth. What will you go for?
After having our trailer on the market for about 10-11 months we finally have an offer that we are accepting. The paperwork is done and signed so its a done deal. We get the money for it on August 14th.
We are going to be temporarily moving in with my parents for a month or two while we look for a house. Unfortunately about 90% (probably more) of my collection will be boxed up until we find a new home. But the positive side is that I will finally get my own game room!!!
I'm very excited about this and will be sure to blog the set up of the new room. I think I'll do something like before/during/after pics and may also be asking you guys for help when I think I need it.
Thanks for all the positive comments last time I posted something similar to this. This time its on paper so im set though.
Music is the language of all people, and many people, including myself, find that video game music in particular has given the world some of the best, and most memorable songs ever. Remix these, and sometimes you have something better, or worse, but no doubt, unique.
The Mega Man series has been noted by many to have some of the best music ever. After the jump, just pure, Mega Man 2 and 3 Remixed ear candy. That is what this series is all about.
