The Begining

So I'm actually starting this blog based on a joke from my friends. First a little background.

The guys at Penny Arcade did a strip a while ago titled Behold! which can be found here: http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/10/6/ . In it, Gabe easily figures out the Beta codes for a few games and Tycho calls him the Beta Whisperer.

Well, after that episode, my friends found the perfect name to give me with my uncanny ability to encounter glitches in games where they never experienced one. And so, that was the begining of the Glitch Whisperer. That's not the end of it. My friend B. sums up my abilities pretty well, "Lesser games will bug out on you and bigger games try to kill you."

What am I gonna add here? Probably I'll just write about the glitches I experience. Now the first time my powers showed itself that I can remember clearly was while playing Assassin's Creed on my PS3. Now, all my friends had almost no problems with their games at all and were able to finish it without resetting their systems. I on the other hand, had this big problem where Altair would leap into the air and ... just hang there. People would move normally and Altair would still be going through his falling animation.

Grand Theft Auto 4? Cars disappearing randomly, people suddenly falling out of the sky, people actually walking in the air. None of my friends had this problem.

Star Wars: Force Unleashed? My friend X. played through the game twice with no glitches. I went to his house to try it out, Wookies committed suicide when they saw Vader approaching. Also, I managed to get stuck in the wall two or three times in half an hour. Yeah, go me.

I think that's enough for now. I still have a load of stories I could tell that you wouldn't believe.
