Glitches

3n3my's post made me think of a conversation I was having with some of my Live friends after we learned of the Javelin Glitch. We all admitted it was actually a pretty impressive trick, but one that makes you wonder how something so simple can slip by the testers (maybe purposefully?) . We then began to name off some past glitches/tricks that despite being, well, a form of cheating were actually kinda impressive. The one that came to mind right away was the Remote Chainsaw Glitch in Gears of War.

*I am not nor ever will exploit a glitch if I know one. i will not say I've never used one but I will no use one to gain the advantage. I hope that those who game with me will back me up on this*

Now that's out of the way... what glitches stand out to you?

Beta Beta Beta

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have the privilege of taking part in a ton of Beta programs. This is not exclusive to video games as I have beta tested out things like Windows Longhorn (Vista), Office 10, Blackberry OS 4.5, Gmail, Google Wave... the list goes on. But, for the purpose of this post: What video game betas have any of you been a part of?

My list:
Uncharted 2
MAG (as of tonight)
Battlefield Bad Company
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Halo 3
Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty: World at War
Halo: Reach (next year)

I think I'm missing one but we'll go with this for now.
