The whole “… just ’cause” thing may be getting a little old now, but that sure won’t stop me from using it again!

xANTiKiLlAx cP of clan chaotic PERFECTION found a skydiver glitch in the Just Cause 2 demo, and he provided a preview of that glitch on the xJediPiMPx YouTube account. Watch the video below:

Senseney07 found a cool spot of exploration in the first chapter of Uncharted 2, where you’ll see some nice snowy mountains, a nice bit of MELVIN, and the edge of the level’s sky box. Check the video page to watch in beautiful 1080p or watch the embedded video below:

This video went up a few days ago, but I’ve been busy playing the absolute joy that is Deadly Premonition so I didn’t get a chance to mention it.

And it’s definitely worth a mention; madmanmcclinton found what he is calling the “first real bounce” in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, something which we haven’t seen since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Check out the video below:

TI2ophy is back with another glitch in the Just Cause 2 demo, and this one has even more immediate benefits.

With a pause screen glitch that reminds me very much of his Dreamfall: The Longest Journey glitch from “Leftover glitching,” players of the Just Cause 2 demo can keep exploring forever — as long as they don’t die, that is. Check out the video page for a written tutorial and watch the glitch in action below:

TI2ophy has a new glitch for us in the upcoming Just Cause 2. The technique he shows allows for clipping inside of all kinds of objects; it will be interesting to see just where this glitch could lead in the future! Check out the video on YouTube or watch the embedded clip below.

It looks the “javelin glitch” is back… or at least one form of it. The infamous and explosive glitch in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was patched a while ago, but if BigBSt4TZ’s latest video is to be believed then we’ll be seeing it once again. Watch below or check out the video on YouTube.

Over at GameSetWatch, guest writer and psychologist Jamie Madigan wrote an interesting piece about the common dilemma facing players of online multiplayer games; to cheat, or not to cheat?

The basic conceit that players have to consider whether or not to perform exploitative glitches in a multiplayer environment where cheaters gain the upper hand is nothing new, but seeing it expressed in psychological terms is certainly interesting. I could complain about his interchangeable use of “cheater” and “glitcher” in some instances, but I think it’s OK to let this one slide.

Here’s a sample from the article that refers to the infamous “javelin glitch” in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

But in the meantime, the javelin glitch presented players with an interesting dilemma assuming they weren’t outright bent on griefing: they could either abuse the glitch to boost their own rankings and unlock new perks, or they could abstain and preserve the game’s fair play. Of course, the problem is that if they abstain, someone else may abuse the glitch and dominate the match. The middle ground is when everyone glitches, but the resulting pandemonium isn’t as much fun as fair play.

Yeah, that’s the best I could come up with. Brad Nicholson at Destructoid reports that a game-ending bug in the Xbox 360 port of Risen has reared its ugly head in the third chapter of the game. What’s even worse is that this bug had been reported back in 2009 when the game was out for PC. You’d think the developers would try and fix something like that… right? From the article:

In the third chapter in the game, your no-longer-shoeless adventurer will have to face the dangers of the Volcano Keep in order to do the whole “save the world” thing. In the process, though, you may hit a glitch so bad that you’ll have to restart the game. Take our advice: when prompted by the voodoo man, it’s best to go right instead of left first. Going left first means two quest items (busts) won’t spawn and thus you can’t complete the next two chapters.

Over at Kotaku, Luke Plunkett is reporting a discovery by one of their readers; more specifically,  a glitch in Heavy Rain with some skin-bearing consequences.

Just like that glitch we mentioned the other day in No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, this glitch strips down one of Heavy Rain’s main characters for all to see. If you’re into that kind of thing, check out the Kotaku story for the potentially spoilerific description and video.

In “Leftover glitching,” GlitchBlog takes a look at great but overlooked glitches from the past.

In this second edition of “Leftover glitching” we have another glitch from forum member TI2ophy, who in May 2008 discovered a pretty ingenious loading glitch in the PC version of Dreamfall: The Longest Journey.

By interrupting his forward movement by pausing the game, TI2ophy is able to bypass the loading trigger that would normally load the next area of the map. This technique affords him some pretty incredible exploration opportunities that you really just have to see for yourself.

I’ve always wondered whether or not a glitch like this would work in another game; I haven’t see anything like it since, but that definitely doesn’t rule out the possibility of this kind of glitch coming up in some other game down the line.
