The Metroid glitch was explained in a Guru Larry video about offensive passcodes: In short, the ENGAGE RIDLEY cheat code (or rather, passcode) forces the game to believe that it has run for so many hours it's like it has been turned on for over three centuries, and it simply cannot fathom that possibility. That code has fried NES motherboards, and the 3DS port is also mentioned in that same video.
There’s another known passcode that makes it think you played for 314 years. It’s Mother Brain? Fuckin toasst. Though, this one actually lets you play the end of the game and see that, if you actually did take 300 years, Mother Brain is just already gone when you get there. I guess swears must mean you played for 300 years XD
ill be honest when i heard “several hundred pound game console” i was very confused about what type of playstation you have until i remembered that’s a currency
@lethe.archive I must admit I read this comment before watching the video and was also confused about several hundred pound console until I got to the end of the comment.
The Metroid passcode is so unbelievable that it dumbfounds the entire game, emulator, system, and Nintendo itself that Samus would ever want to be engaged to Ridley, that it enters a dormant state for the next 300 years trying to process the possibility, outcome, and what the children would look like.
I wonder if this video should've been called "Top 5 Video Games That Broke Consoles", since a number of the entries only describe the games themselves and the contexts surrounding their releases rather than detailing what exact glitches cause the console to break and how they're triggered. Not saying it's bad to focus on the games and their release contexts, but given the current title, I was expecting more detail on the glitches themselves.
Yeah same here -_- did something get overwritten that shouldn't have? did something overheat? was there some dev with a sadistic bone to pick? hope this vid gets a follow-up!
It's a fun list, but I genuinely think my favorite part is how you framed the sponsorship because men going bald being viewed as a glitch in real life is just amazing.
Probably not how I'd describe hair loss, but I suppose that's one way to put it. But also, I agree, hair loss IS a real life glitch for men under 35. And I'm only the same age as RabbidLuigi.
I’ll be honest, I skipped it since I don’t have to worry about *male* pattern baldness since I don’t have a Y chromosome. I might go back to watch it though.
Fallout 76's quality rippled worse than any other game I can remember. It made people question if Bethesda games were any good in the first place (New Vegas doesn't count because Bethesda had nothing to do with it). I understand that every series and developer have misses but for a game to make you question literally every product they've pushed out... _"What the hell happened here?"_
The fact that Fallout 76 managed to survive for three whole years is nothing short of a miracle, and I will admit, the first year of it was absolutely one of the worst first years in recent video game history. It's definitely not *as* glitchy now, though, which is better than nothing, I guess?
...that's the weird thing, the only one I genuinely like was 4, simply due to the perks being generic in nature but ultimately more practical. Yes, I love new Vegas for its ultimately more diverse path, but in a choose your own adventure rpg ... I really don't want to be stuck at a kick the bucket and start over scenario.
Bethesda games to this point imo only lasted this long due to it's modding community since you tend to find the game on itself is rather shoddy and it's only once the modders come through and fix all the bugs that Bethesda can't be bothered to fix that the game can find itself in a form that generally considered good. But considering that 76 was only online meant that modders weren't able to crack it open meant that the shitty standard that Bethesda generally sets for itself was made clear for all to see. Course there are other reasons why the game was as bad and buggy as it was and I just suggest watching 'Fall of 76' for somewhat of a summary of those reasons. But can bet that if the modders were allowed at it that they could have fixed the game faster than how long Bethesda was able to get the game into a playable state. Though no amount of modding could fix the other issues like the duffle bags and the nuka cola dark rum.
@@Altoryu , I came here to say this. Yeah. Modders have been the only hope for most Bethesda games. Which allowed people to actually enjoy how complex and nuanced a lot of details in the games are (like Skyrim and Oblivion). It's sad; many of the devs put so much love and intertwined details into those games to build complex lore, often quietly in the background and easily overlooked. Those kinds of details really hooked people, and got them to feel that these games were so epic! ....And yet, that was only because a dedicated community put so much time and work into modding the game so that like, you could actually do certain quests that were un-doable due to severe glitches (for example: in Skyrim, as of at least a few months ago, you STILL can't finish this one school's magic training without a cheat to skip the bugged scenario! Probably still the case...). And various other problems that the devs themselves should have had time and direction to do, smoothed over by fans. It got so that, for a while, all communities would basically say "Here's a practically mandatory set of fan-patches/mods you need to apply after you install the game." So, it was great that the solid parts of these works were allowed to be appreciated... but, it unfortunately caused Bethesda to get away with launching all that with a broken, twisted skeleton. And so, they continued to release half-assed games, and figuring they must be doing things right, due to all their success. Buuuuuuuuut yeah, suddenly, no modding on this game? Well gee, why is it so hated by the community? Why is it so glitchy? We did everything the way we learned how to! Yeah, that's the problem, y'all! Reward bad behavior, and it'll continue. I do NOT AT ALL blame modders though; they SAVED the hard work and care that so many devs put into the games in spite of corporate pressure and deadlines, and gave us gamers fun, amazing experiences! That is a BEAUTIFUL thing! The humanity of helping each other out and letting art flourish! ....But Bethesda took it all for granted, and ignored the fact that the success wasn't due to the company heads' bad ideas and decisions to rush the games out incomplete and messy. No turning inward and thinking, no carefully considering what their flaws were doing to the game industry itself. Just "OK we made lots of money and ppl enjoy the game, let's do that again!" 4-year-old toddler level reasoning. And now, the sadly unintended side-effect is unfinished games being "released" becoming the norm. Crappy time to be a gamer. 😞
Im so scared of the game I wont even play it, I own the game and refuse to touch it. I did not spend 600 dollars on a console to have it bricked by a 60 dollar game. Edited to added that I actually got the game free when buying my Xbox One X, but still, I won't even install it.
“There are fewer things sadder than owning Mighty No. 9 on the Wii U. Also, it can murder your console.” I own a functioning Wii U and a decent-sized collection of digital games including Mighty No. 9 on said Wii U. I kind of feel like I dodged a bullet.
nah, a glitch is the game not playing the way it's intended. in that case the glitch was caused by a physical thing, but it's still an in-game effect, so I'd count it.
I agree, it’s like if someone took a sledgehammer to the console then claimed it’s a glitch. He may as well include glitches caused by modding if he’s gonna include cartridge tilting.
About Mighty No. 9... The Wii U version of M#9 stuff had the most publicity but other platforms had their problems too. The PS4 version had weird texture corruption issues resulting in funky colors sometimes. The PC version, has a very nasty memory leak that if you play it for too long you risk damaging your computer. There was a streamer(I think it was ProJared) that played it for a half hour or so and eventually the game's frame rate worsened and crashed his computer. One time it got so bad Windows had to boot into recovery mode and do that whole nine yards.
Diddy's Kong Quest is another game with a terrible console-breaking glitch. Performing that particular glitch in the Castle Crush stage can destroy your SNES.
One honorable mention I'd like to give is to the ACE glitches. ACE, or Arbitrary Code Execution, is a glitch that allows the user to in essence reprogram the game. While there's no reported cases of bricked consoles I'd suspect that unimpeded access to the RAM and no clue on what you're doing can lead to you reprogramming the game into a virus that bricks your console. I think the one most people would know is the OoC one used for speedrunning. Another is 8F from Pokemon, and in SMW that was shown at AGDQ 2014.
I doubt it will be on the list, but an honorable mention is some PC game that I'm pretty sure was from Japan. One of the coders had a virus on their computer, and as a result it put itself into their code and the original release was infected. They quickly removed the virus and rereleased the game with a new cover to help let people know which copies are safe. EDIT: It was a Dreamcast game, Atelier Marie and Elie. So the virus went unnoticed because you won't see it on the console, but if you inserted the game into your computer to download wallpapers and the like (something that was apparently common on the Dreamcast), you got infected.
Not a console breaker, but I did manage to create a permanent glitch on a cartridge. I used the map glitch on the Gameboy version of Links Awakening so often that I had a line down the screen every time I played it. I either damaged the contacts on the cartridge or I damaged the rom itself.
Anthem was the first one I thought of. That's the one that joshscorcher dodged a bullet on. Also, what's interesting about #1 is that those glitches aren't even the fault of the developer, but the consumer who causes it.
That's just a simple case of a stack overflow. The game didn't unload the soda cans since he wasn't far away enough for it to happen. He spawned so many soda cans that the game just couldn't handle it. It's a common glitch in many games.
Had to look it up, but this reminded me of that old Myth II glitch where under specific conditions when you uninstalled the game it would wipe out the whole hard drive. Not a very fun glitch.
Soon as i saw the title, I KNEW Mighty No. 9 had to be on the list. Just to remind us that Mega Man 11 probably wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for this.
FallOut76 had an issue if you uninstalled it, it would just delete its top folder. which means if you had it installed in your Windows folder or hard drive it would seriously fuck up your computer.
I was actually very disappointed the console ports of Undertale don't kick you back to the system menu just like the original PC version, it really loses that special feeling
You should have included a game-breaking glitch from DKC2. I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but in the Castle Crush stage, if you perform a certain glitch, you can brick the cartridge. I don't remember if it bricks the SNES as well.
You know you fucked up royally when your game turns a console or PC into a fancy paperweight/doorstop. Sure there's the chance it was really the console itself goin' mental and losing it's shit, but lets be honest, there's a high chance the game did something bad. While not bricking consoles there are games that brick themselves (and *sometimes* take some of the console's functionality in the process) if you did something specific like typing three letter names/words in the DS version of Age of Empires or playing in Fifa Football for the PS Vita's Career mode and having it crash *EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!* Seriously, there are videos of folks showing the latter crashing everytime you try to play in career mode and the only option is to *NOT* play in career mode. It amazes me how much a game publisher can fuck up and not realize that maybe they just aren't capable of making something worth while.
I’ve never had my console brick before. Try to stay pretty safe with em. But I’m curious as to what type of reimbursement companies provide? After all they’ve destroyed your console. I obviously suspect them to try and get out of it and not do anything but it seems pretty fucking stupid that these companies will break your stuff and say your sol
LOL. My PC is on life support and I'm going to replace it next year and it often does the BSOD in the exact same way as 2:36. I legit thought that I had another BSOD XD
I accidentally tilted my Star Fox 64 cartridge while inserting it once and it completely wiped the save data. Since I got my N64 from my dad, it wiped two people's worth of high scores and medals. Now I'm extremely careful about how I insert N64 cartridges into the console.
...I had a dream last night that cartridge tilting could cause male baldness. XD I didn't even know cartridge tilting could physically break a game/console. I _guess_ that makes sense in hindsight. Used to do this for a bit ~20-years ago, not so much for visual or gameplay glitches, but because of the music some games would produce. There were some games that didn't just produce random screeches, but that could genuinely sound pretty cool if the cartridge was tilted and then put back a few seconds later. Best game for that was San Francisco Rush 2049, it basically produced a new remix every time you did that. Used to have a ton of recordings on cassette tapes of that game alone, though unfortunately the recording quality I had available at the time was crap (i.e.: placing a cassette recorder next to the TV and hitting "record", XD), and capturing game footage with my current setup nowadays will be something of a hassle if I ever get around to that again. :/ Totally gonna record some of that though if I ever do. Too bad I won't be able to recreate some of the sick tunes I already got in low quality audio. Different results every time, also depending on what else the game is doing at the time.
Not sure how well known this is but in saints row 2 by glitching out of a mode called zombie uprising you will fall until u land outside the tattoo shop on the main map ( ur not ment to be in the main map ) upon walking around you’ll notice things not working not loading in doors not working floors being miss textured and it getting very bright u might also see for just a second a shadow figure that’s transparent it’s called the freezer and upon seeing it will break ur game and potentially ur console works best in xbox 360 still works on ps3 but is a lot rarer only ever seen the game playable after the freezer once and it was in a horrible state
I RROD my Xbox 360 by using the duplication 'glitch' in TES: Oblivion where shooting an arrow against an object will replicate that object with the amount of arrows you have... I dont know how many arrows were the maximum you could carry, but what I DO know is that the Xbox does NOT like thousands of watermelons being spawned in a village, lake or house while simultanously trying to calculate the physics for each item... The mad box did not shut down the game, no, it kept trying to run like a champ, going to about 0,01 fps, but still working and heating up like an exploding sun.
On the subject of cartridge tilting, the Sega Game Gear had a design flaw. If the cartridge wasn't pushed in 100% , it would actually short out the pins on the cartridge slot. This would not only crash the game, but cause smoke to come out of the console! I lost TWO Game Gears this way in a short amount of time - luckily the store accepted the warranty and I was able to get a working replacement.
Bruh an emulated version of Dr. Mario made my 3DS have a fit and crashed, hard. It didn’t brick the console, it bricked the ENTIRE SD CARD WITH MORE THAN 50 3DS GAMES.
Ooh and another thing about Soul Calibur 3, If you delete anything older than the saves (older than and created before the Soul Calibur 3 save file) before you first play Soul Calibur 3 and Chronicles of the Sword, it will corrupt and maybe break the console. The Soul Calibur 3 corruption never happened to me yet, but I highly recommend getting memory cards and making Soul Calibur 3 as the first save file created on there before adding any other videogame files on it.
Glitches will put people in ditches. Oh wait. Stitches will put people in glitches. That ain't right. Ditches who has stitches will have glitches momentarily.. I give up.
I hear Fallout76 is a better experience these days then what the frequent headlines informed us of, but fuck man, if those headlines didn't say a lot that couldn't be ignored.
i played fallout 76 for a few hours and i agree that it's a way better game now, but it mostly sticks out in my head as a repository for cool weapons to backport into fallout 4
Eh it is better but most stuff feels like low effort and too short (talking about story) it is fun for a short while but gets repetitive and boring. Don’t give me excuse of play it with friends everything is fun with friends as you aren’t suffering through it by yourself
@@evandaymon8303 I started playing it with my brother and yeah we had fun-- not because we were playing a bad game, those still suck and don't get our time. It's a much more solid experience than it used to be. Also there is no true singleplayer in the game; you're supposed to find and interact/befriend/cooperate with other players, that's why it's online-only. Jeez now it sounds like I'm promoting the thing but I'm not; it's just not the bad experience it was at the start anymore.
I'm surprised there's no mention here of New World having a bug both in beta and after release that was causing RTX 2000 and RTX3000 series graphics cards to fail on a hardware level, with some cards literally starting fires. Granted, this is partially a manufacturing issue that likely stems from poor quality soldering of board components, but New World and Crypto Mining are the only programs i've seen that can work cards hard enough to expose this flaw.
There have been plenty games with unlimited framecaps that (even in a very light but 3D main menu) overheated heaps of GPUs to the point of dysfunction. Some really poorly optimized games can cause insane loads over nothing as well, but as you said it's either the hardware to blame for failing/insufficient cooling/overclocking/other failures not to blame on the games. Ironically the only PC software I've ever legit seen wreck GPUs wre nVidia's own driver releases with botched fan and clock controls. PS: Not saying there aren't devs out there hiding crypto stuff in their releases by the way -;) dirty scoundrels.
I wish a glitch had bricked my Evercade. The damn firmware did that on day one! PS: I believe there's a Paper Mario glitch on N64 that can also brick the console. No cart tilting required.
So basically, Ninetendo is just jealous that we fans can create games better than them and therefore they take down fan games in order to prevent any 'competition'.
When it comes to the Engage Ridley passcode, my question isn't how that bricks the console. Instead it's how in the everloving fuck do people find out about this kind of stuff?
I can only imagine the horror of the first person to goof around with Metroid Passwords, only to find their console fried. How do you explain that to anyone?
Glitches can be a real painful experience in gaming whether it's with the NPCs, boundaries, progress, etc. No one really likes it when that happens and it can happen anytime even with the best games.
Teethpulling can be a real painful experience in dentistry wheter it's with the tongs used, the dentist him/herself, sedation allergies etc. No one really likes it when that happens and it can happen to anyone even with the best teeth.
I don't know how to replicate it, but a Mario Kart 7 glitch bricked my 3DS All I know is that I shot all of the fireball item at once, then my 3DS froze, and never turned back on
Just a reminder that there is no evidence that any game glitch has ever bricked or "damaged" a console in ANY way. The only exceptions are bad PC game bugs that delete the entire drive or important system files.
I remember playing Lego Star Wars on Wii and whenever I’d try to watch the Indiana Jones trailer prior to finishing the game the game and console would crash
I broke the original ps2 Lego Star Wars so badly that my save file was deleted and the audio stopped working. I have no idea how I did it. I'd just finished the game too. Was devastated.
this video si late enough for us to know that drinking soda for 50 minutes on gta sa definitive edition bricks the game and wont let you reload your save
Yeah...Cartridge tilting isn't a glitch. It's hardware abuse. A glitch must be a software fault. Cartridge tilting isn't a software fault, it's a hardware fault created by the user.
Myth 2 my dude. If you installed in on your root drive in a non-default directory, it erased your hard drive when you uninstalled it. This was in the 90s pre-easy to patch games like now adays.

This is an excessively wordy video, for a top five list format. #4 is Anthem, and I find myself continuously asking "Okay, what was the glitch?" I check the progress bar, and I am *two minutes* into #4, with zero mention of what the glitch is. I watch a little bit more, and it's never actually mentioned what the glitch is! I look it up on Google, and apparently Anthem never actually bricked any consoles, instead sometimes crashing and requiring rebuilding the database in safe mode, resulting in the console starting right back up. Misleading and just talking in circles to pad the length.

n64 cartridge tilting wouldn't be classified as a console brick, more like a component failure. You didn't really do a good job on how or why these various games bricked your system. sorry this video is a no go for me.
Your first two examples didn't actually describe any specific glitch or how it "bricked" consoles so I'm moving on cause it sounds like consumer superstition mumbo jumbo without evidence. I just got finished watching a 30 minute expose on a supposed "cosmic ray bit flip" in "Mario 64 Tik-Tok level" and it was fascinating so I was searching for something fascinating about a glitch or glitches and this video isn't is.
The Metroid glitch was explained in a Guru Larry video about offensive passcodes: In short, the ENGAGE RIDLEY cheat code (or rather, passcode) forces the game to believe that it has run for so many hours it's like it has been turned on for over three centuries, and it simply cannot fathom that possibility. That code has fried NES motherboards, and the 3DS port is also mentioned in that same video.
So, theoretically, if I kept an NES with Metroid active on for over 300 years it would stoo working on its own?

What's that tune that people usually play over clips like these?

I doubt it will be on the list, but an honorable mention is some PC game that I'm pretty sure was from Japan. One of the coders had a virus on their computer, and as a result it put itself into their code and the original release was infected. They quickly removed the virus and rereleased the game with a new cover to help let people know which copies are safe.
EDIT: It was a Dreamcast game, Atelier Marie and Elie. So the virus went unnoticed because you won't see it on the console, but if you inserted the game into your computer to download wallpapers and the like (something that was apparently common on the Dreamcast), you got infected.
Not a console breaker, but I did manage to create a permanent glitch on a cartridge. I used the map glitch on the Gameboy version of Links Awakening so often that I had a line down the screen every time I played it. I either damaged the contacts on the cartridge or I damaged the rom itself.
Anthem was the first one I thought of. That's the one that joshscorcher dodged a bullet on.
Also, what's interesting about #1 is that those glitches aren't even the fault of the developer, but the consumer who causes it.
mmm, sure do love it whenever I'm playing, like, Paper Mario or some shit hitting some wacky series of buttons, and the family Wii starts to melt
Mm-mmh! The pinnacle of gaming.
But baking a cake for 4.5 years is perfectly acceptable, of course.
@@CiromBreeze mmm, yes
GTA trilogy remaster’s San Andreas might make it into this, as drinking soda from its respective machine for 50 minutes bricks the game
WHAT.
@@chaosinc.382 I dunno when Vargskelethor will upload it, will probably be up soon on his VOD channel
That's just a simple case of a stack overflow. The game didn't unload the soda cans since he wasn't far away enough for it to happen. He spawned so many soda cans that the game just couldn't handle it. It's a common glitch in many games.
I think the problem is spending 50 minutes drinking soda in a video game, pretty sure that would have killed the character too. RIP
Everything bricks or crashes games at this point
If you used the chest code too many times on Earthworm Jim 2, they stopped working forever. Still baffled as to how they achieved this.
Had to look it up, but this reminded me of that old Myth II glitch where under specific conditions when you uninstalled the game it would wipe out the whole hard drive. Not a very fun glitch.
How is cartridge tilting a glitch? Isn't that just actively tampering with the hardware mid program.
It was an easy way to cheat in Sonic 3d Blast on Genesis.
Soon as i saw the title, I KNEW Mighty No. 9 had to be on the list. Just to remind us that Mega Man 11 probably wouldn't have existed if it wasn't for this.
"I mean, it woke Capcom up."
Monster Hunter series: Am I a joke to you?
FallOut76 had an issue if you uninstalled it, it would just delete its top folder. which means if you had it installed in your Windows folder or hard drive it would seriously fuck up your computer.
I was actually very disappointed the console ports of Undertale don't kick you back to the system menu just like the original PC version, it really loses that special feeling
ik but it is understandable.
You should have included a game-breaking glitch from DKC2.
I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but in the Castle Crush stage, if you perform a certain glitch, you can brick the cartridge. I don't remember if it bricks the SNES as well.
2:37 Jokes on you, I didn't watch this video in full screen.
Surprised there was no mention of New World considering that can make PC Graphics Cards literally catch fire
What the hell!!!
2:30 dangit man! you made me think my computer had just frozen.
releasing a new game? bethesda re-release skyrim everytime todd howard farts.
I'd consider N64 Cartridge Tilting a hack more than a glitch.
You know you fucked up royally when your game turns a console or PC into a fancy paperweight/doorstop.
Sure there's the chance it was really the console itself goin' mental and losing it's shit, but lets be honest, there's a high chance the game did something bad.
While not bricking consoles there are games that brick themselves (and *sometimes* take some of the console's functionality in the process) if you did something specific like typing three letter names/words in the DS version of Age of Empires or playing in Fifa Football for the PS Vita's Career mode and having it crash *EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!* Seriously, there are videos of folks showing the latter crashing everytime you try to play in career mode and the only option is to *NOT* play in career mode.
It amazes me how much a game publisher can fuck up and not realize that maybe they just aren't capable of making something worth while.
I don't need Keeps, the Persona 5 song you added to the ad's enough for me...
2:35 - 2:40 See! This is what happen when you think the video is glitchy frozen. I died laughing after this 😅😂🤣😆
That feeling when you get in trouble for that metroid password being said 3 TIMES, while kids are in the room.
they must know the true meaning of ENGAGE RIDLEY
So, since all of the Smash Ultimate DLC characters are out, might we see a countdown on them?
I’ve never had my console brick before. Try to stay pretty safe with em. But I’m curious as to what type of reimbursement companies provide? After all they’ve destroyed your console. I obviously suspect them to try and get out of it and not do anything but it seems pretty fucking stupid that these companies will break your stuff and say your sol
LOL. My PC is on life support and I'm going to replace it next year and it often does the BSOD in the exact same way as 2:36. I legit thought that I had another BSOD XD
I accidentally tilted my Star Fox 64 cartridge while inserting it once and it completely wiped the save data. Since I got my N64 from my dad, it wiped two people's worth of high scores and medals. Now I'm extremely careful about how I insert N64 cartridges into the console.
...I had a dream last night that cartridge tilting could cause male baldness. XD
I didn't even know cartridge tilting could physically break a game/console. I _guess_ that makes sense in hindsight.
Used to do this for a bit ~20-years ago, not so much for visual or gameplay glitches, but because of the music some games would produce.
There were some games that didn't just produce random screeches, but that could genuinely sound pretty cool if the cartridge was tilted and then put back a few seconds later. Best game for that was San Francisco Rush 2049, it basically produced a new remix every time you did that. Used to have a ton of recordings on cassette tapes of that game alone, though unfortunately the recording quality I had available at the time was crap (i.e.: placing a cassette recorder next to the TV and hitting "record", XD), and capturing game footage with my current setup nowadays will be something of a hassle if I ever get around to that again. :/
Totally gonna record some of that though if I ever do. Too bad I won't be able to recreate some of the sick tunes I already got in low quality audio. Different results every time, also depending on what else the game is doing at the time.
Ironically, I was just watching Glitch Techs on Netflix before happening upon this video.
Not sure how well known this is but in saints row 2 by glitching out of a mode called zombie uprising you will fall until u land outside the tattoo shop on the main map ( ur not ment to be in the main map ) upon walking around you’ll notice things not working not loading in doors not working floors being miss textured and it getting very bright u might also see for just a second a shadow figure that’s transparent it’s called the freezer and upon seeing it will break ur game and potentially ur console works best in xbox 360 still works on ps3 but is a lot rarer only ever seen the game playable after the freezer once and it was in a horrible state
I RROD my Xbox 360 by using the duplication 'glitch' in TES: Oblivion where shooting an arrow against an object will replicate that object with the amount of arrows you have...
I dont know how many arrows were the maximum you could carry, but what I DO know is that the Xbox does NOT like thousands of watermelons being spawned in a village, lake or house while simultanously trying to calculate the physics for each item... The mad box did not shut down the game, no, it kept trying to run like a champ, going to about 0,01 fps, but still working and heating up like an exploding sun.
On the subject of cartridge tilting, the Sega Game Gear had a design flaw. If the cartridge wasn't pushed in 100% , it would actually short out the pins on the cartridge slot. This would not only crash the game, but cause smoke to come out of the console! I lost TWO Game Gears this way in a short amount of time - luckily the store accepted the warranty and I was able to get a working replacement.
Bruh an emulated version of Dr. Mario made my 3DS have a fit and crashed, hard. It didn’t brick the console, it bricked the ENTIRE SD CARD WITH MORE THAN 50 3DS GAMES.
there was a LittleBigPlanet 3 glitch which could crash your PS4 if you pulled it off, and if it did, your whole os was messed up
I feel like Keeps continually coming back to sponsor RL could be considered as some sort of negging lol
Ooh and another thing about Soul Calibur 3, If you delete anything older than the saves (older than and created before the Soul Calibur 3 save file) before you first play Soul Calibur 3 and Chronicles of the Sword, it will corrupt and maybe break the console. The Soul Calibur 3 corruption never happened to me yet, but I highly recommend getting memory cards and making Soul Calibur 3 as the first save file created on there before adding any other videogame files on it.
Even the Pokemon red and blue glitch
2:36 I thought the video just actually froze on me for a second. XD
Glitches will put people in ditches.
Oh wait.
Stitches will put people in glitches.
That ain't right.
Ditches who has stitches will have glitches momentarily..
I give up.
I hear Fallout76 is a better experience these days then what the frequent headlines informed us of, but fuck man, if those headlines didn't say a lot that couldn't be ignored.
i played fallout 76 for a few hours and i agree that it's a way better game now, but it mostly sticks out in my head as a repository for cool weapons to backport into fallout 4
Eh it is better but most stuff feels like low effort and too short (talking about story) it is fun for a short while but gets repetitive and boring. Don’t give me excuse of play it with friends everything is fun with friends as you aren’t suffering through it by yourself
@@evandaymon8303 That tends to be the 'argument' I hear from people that still play it. Which is a very shallow counter, I agree.
@@evandaymon8303 I started playing it with my brother and yeah we had fun-- not because we were playing a bad game, those still suck and don't get our time. It's a much more solid experience than it used to be. Also there is no true singleplayer in the game; you're supposed to find and interact/befriend/cooperate with other players, that's why it's online-only.
Jeez now it sounds like I'm promoting the thing but I'm not; it's just not the bad experience it was at the start anymore.
Obligatory mention of Internet Historian video about Fallout 76. It is fucking hilarious.
I'm surprised there's no mention here of New World having a bug both in beta and after release that was causing RTX 2000 and RTX3000 series graphics cards to fail on a hardware level, with some cards literally starting fires. Granted, this is partially a manufacturing issue that likely stems from poor quality soldering of board components, but New World and Crypto Mining are the only programs i've seen that can work cards hard enough to expose this flaw.
There have been plenty games with unlimited framecaps that (even in a very light but 3D main menu) overheated heaps of GPUs to the point of dysfunction. Some really poorly optimized games can cause insane loads over nothing as well, but as you said it's either the hardware to blame for failing/insufficient cooling/overclocking/other failures not to blame on the games.
Ironically the only PC software I've ever legit seen wreck GPUs wre nVidia's own driver releases with botched fan and clock controls.
PS: Not saying there aren't devs out there hiding crypto stuff in their releases by the way -;) dirty scoundrels.
I wish a glitch had bricked my Evercade. The damn firmware did that on day one! PS: I believe there's a Paper Mario glitch on N64 that can also brick the console. No cart tilting required.
So basically, Ninetendo is just jealous that we fans can create games better than them and therefore they take down fan games in order to prevent any 'competition'.
2:38 I think the computer just contacted the Coconut Cake
5:55
hey, my console isn't THAT heavy!
kinda suprised that Amazone's mmo was not on the list early beta was known for 3000 series nivida graphicas cards frying
When it comes to the Engage Ridley passcode, my question isn't how that bricks the console. Instead it's how in the everloving fuck do people find out about this kind of stuff?
I can only imagine the horror of the first person to goof around with Metroid Passwords, only to find their console fried.
How do you explain that to anyone?
Glitches can be a real painful experience in gaming whether it's with the NPCs, boundaries, progress, etc. No one really likes it when that happens and it can happen anytime even with the best games.
Teethpulling can be a real painful experience in dentistry wheter it's with the tongs used, the dentist him/herself, sedation allergies etc. No one really likes it when that happens and it can happen to anyone even with the best teeth.
76 was able to wreck PCs?! How have I not heard of this until just now?
How are you surprised? If you told me that _76_ stole your wallet *and* yo girl, I'd legitimately take you at your word.
I don't know how to replicate it, but a Mario Kart 7 glitch bricked my 3DS
All I know is that I shot all of the fireball item at once, then my 3DS froze, and never turned back on
Just a reminder that there is no evidence that any game glitch has ever bricked or "damaged" a console in ANY way.
The only exceptions are bad PC game bugs that delete the entire drive or important system files.
If you where to count the cartridge tilting, then you should also count the faulty batch of PS that their lasers burned out after some playtime...
I'll never forgive Bethesda for Bricking my PS3
I remember playing Lego Star Wars on Wii and whenever I’d try to watch the Indiana Jones trailer prior to finishing the game the game and console would crash
I broke the original ps2 Lego Star Wars so badly that my save file was deleted and the audio stopped working. I have no idea how I did it. I'd just finished the game too. Was devastated.
this video si late enough for us to know that drinking soda for 50 minutes on gta sa definitive edition bricks the game and wont let you reload your save
Gotta admit tho-- whoever wasted almost an hour non-stop drinking virtual soda basically had it coming.
Part 2 gonna have GTA Definitive 🤣
Yeah...Cartridge tilting isn't a glitch. It's hardware abuse.
A glitch must be a software fault. Cartridge tilting isn't a software fault, it's a hardware fault created by the user.
#1 is just Vinesauce Vinny's entire career lmao
Here's an idea up your alley: top 5 video games that hate the player. You know, since you like Spec Ops: The Line so much.
#1 me trying my best not to hum the Mario Party music over RabbidLuigi's talking
Myth 2 my dude. If you installed in on your root drive in a non-default directory, it erased your hard drive when you uninstalled it. This was in the 90s pre-easy to patch games like now adays.
Soulblighter!! I remembered that one.. had it on a pirate cd with its own uninstaller though ^^ wasn't affected.
LOL the start of the list got me. 🤣
Oh rabid Luigi is wearing a rabid Mario shirt!
every time 76crashed for awhile,it take my PC sound with it,forcing a reset.got me to stop playing fast.
Why Persona music in your sponsored ads?
was kinda hoping to seee bro force
i cant believe nintendo made a cheat code have a swear in it
Yeah, you stretched HARD with that last one....
Didnt Mighty Number 9 also kill a bunch of people's PCs? like I saw a lets play of the game and his PC almost got bircked
Wasn't there a PS2 game that would format your memory card if you accidentally caused a certain glitch?
New world killed some GPUs
I was kind of expecting it, as a sort of opposite to. Mighty number 9
Didn't Anthem also DDOS EA's servers too?
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
My friend had a Dreamcast controller that would brick any Dreamcast it was plugged in to
Guessing this video came out before Cyberpunk was bricking PS4s en masse
Top 5 UNsuprising secret/unlockable characters in video games. No you can't just use Smash bros for the whole list. I'll subscribe when you make that video, not that it matters much since your videos always pop up in my feed and I keep watching since I'm still enjoying them.
Tho loding speed can be a pb to to f p s but thas base on ram or oc or consol ramdum menorey in the pc or consol. But hay if you relay like the game you wood not mined a littel wet for it to finsh readying the games data
This is an excessively wordy video, for a top five list format. #4 is Anthem, and I find myself continuously asking "Okay, what was the glitch?" I check the progress bar, and I am *two minutes* into #4, with zero mention of what the glitch is. I watch a little bit more, and it's never actually mentioned what the glitch is!
I look it up on Google, and apparently Anthem never actually bricked any consoles, instead sometimes crashing and requiring rebuilding the database in safe mode, resulting in the console starting right back up. Misleading and just talking in circles to pad the length.
I thought the Mighty No. 9 one was just a rumor
*Coughs* pocket infinity *coughs*
I've never played a bethesda game and even I know fallout 76 was a nightmare
HOW DARE YOU DISS THE WII U EXBHKCEBWKHCBCWKEH DHIDWCBQEHK QCHEJCWUY WCJH ADJH XJHAX JHVWDMHVCWHIQEVCXJHQ KHSQ KHSQ DO
Sorry, but the Wii U is actually much better than anybody gives it credit for, and it plays a major part of my otherwise bleak childhood. You're still a good UA-camr that I subscribe to
n64 cartridge tilting wouldn't be classified as a console brick, more like a component failure. You didn't really do a good job on how or why these various games bricked your system. sorry this video is a no go for me.
I would have liked it if he had focused more on the glitches themselves and less about the games.
Your first two examples didn't actually describe any specific glitch or how it "bricked" consoles so I'm moving on cause it sounds like consumer superstition mumbo jumbo without evidence. I just got finished watching a 30 minute expose on a supposed "cosmic ray bit flip" in "Mario 64 Tik-Tok level" and it was fascinating so I was searching for something fascinating about a glitch or glitches and this video isn't is.
so never cartridge tilt.
Bethesda has a ton of these!
They don't tho
