Gameplay Journal Entry #6

For me glitches can be humorous or treacherous. Like the compilation above it can either enhance your gameplay capabilities. Or hinder it to the point it gets annoying and the computer keeps cheating. W for me games are very articulated, well crafted, controlled chaos that you can control. Genuinely glitches happen when there is a problem in the code or there is a lack of an update to a particular system that a patch usually fixes. Granted no code is bug free and it is bound to happen at some point. Sometimes you just have to roll with it Like at 0:26 one player not only got invincibility frames and a high vantage point. Or it can be a pain on 1:55, some body kills streak just got rekt. But mostly if you look up glitches it more muor is tools that might enhance our game experience. As I am continue to study the topic of glitch it can be debated to be more artistic in practice and more debatable topic.

Menkman thoughts of the topic , “ break from an expected or conventional flow of information or meaning within (digital) communication systems that results in a perceived accident or error. A glitch occurs on the occasion where there is an absence of (expected) functionality, whether understood in a technical or social sense. Therefore, a glitch, as I see it, is not always strictly a result of a technical malfunction.” (Menkman 2011, 10, p.113)” Which his definition of a break into the code equals glitch. But like every situation you just got to adapt to your surroundings. Though some creators might be upset with such glitches messing up thier work and a break in the system might comes SOME rage quits for the more competitive players. Even though some may seem of putting and if they cause a load screeching noises to the ear. They can also be tools for entertainment and/or cheat codes when used properly
