That's neat to hear how a simple mistake managed to suck down so many quarters from people's pockets.

Thats awesome I totally didn't know that. I think this is a pretty good idea for a show,its been done before but that doesn't make it bad.

All of the other glitch shows try to see if it's real. I find ones already proven and explain why it happens.

Fascinating...here I expected the whole shoot through the shield thing. Never expected this.

One glitch idea would be how Street Fighter's combo system was a glitch at first.
