Guilty as charged here though — I’ve not played a single Pokemon game. Except for a few of the characters, I don’t know much about the games. I guess it’s never too late to jump on the bandwagon, but I’ve just got too much else to play right now! Besides, Pokemon people seem to be doing just fine without me.

But hey, as long as you don’t be a fool and use it in battle (or catch it), it’s cool. Honest. I was young too when I saw it (it freaked the crap out of me at the time, but I got used to it xD)…I dealt with it!!!

1) How could you have not known about the Missingno glitch lawl I guess you’re never gotten into Pokemon?
2) fminuzzi covered all the basics. Missingno was basically a mistake made by the programmers when it came to the role of the old man in Viridian City. I can’t find the original article (But this will do fine enough) but in short, once they allowed the Old Man to temporarily take over to catch a Pokemon (you usually only have your MC and Pokemon), you were no longer the trainer. It usually gets cancelled since you head to a defined field where you can only walk after that, but Cinnabar Island’s shore was instead defined the same way (but you can surf there). So long story short, the result is every item in the 6th slot in your items menu would reach its cap (99), and it could be done at any time because Missingno appeared. You’ll also run into PKMN that have no business being in the sea. I’ll just end that it was fun times talking to people about that Glitch back in my youth :3

If/when we do get Arkham Origins, it’ll definitely be on the PS3.

Thanks for the note about Arkham Origins. We’ve been thinking of getting it, but haven’t yet. Something to keep in mind as I doubt another glitchy game would go over so well.

Last month over on United We Game, I told the sad, sad story of how glitches marred the experience of The Last of Us for me as the viewer and my significant other as the player. As terrible as it sounds, they really did ruin the game; and though I’m not pointing any fingers (*cough* GameFly *cough*), I’m pretty sure we just got a bad disc. Still, it was enough to relegate The Last of Us, hailed as one of the best games of the year, to the far backseat of our gaming SUV until the glitchy experience becomes a very distance memory.
