I'm sorry but glitching to me tells me that the person glitching likes to find everything wrong with the game.

Well, um, yes. The first time you fly through "heaven" behind Faithful Bride, you realize that the programmers and Maya designers must use some of these to check on layout and aspect ratios and stuff.

Then later, there is the realization that they forgot to trap that stuff on the test servers, but instead have it wide open for the whole world to experience. ZOMG, did they realize they goofed?

Then later, you read on the forums that the wall glitches present in almost every scene (I haven't noticed any in Rambleshack, but everywhere else, yes) are not even planned on being fixed. Only the most egregious glitches are even considered for patching. The realization sets in, that the various "Easter eggs" may in fact be intentional..."KH invisible & invulnerable" being a good example of a glitch that couldn't possibly be accidental.

So, at that point, knowing that some glitches are out there, just to be exploited, you learn that some people use glitches (ok, all glitches) for competitive advantage. You can either abandon POTCO at that point, or start to learn how to combine the glitches, so that you can pinpoint their weaknesses. Learning useless poker glitches teach you how to combine even more glitches, possibly into something useful.

Getting onto the dock is only the combination of two glitch types/methods. The KH invulnerability is three. The old patched boss battle mountain glitch was just one.

Do I "like" finding everything wrong with the game. Honestly, yes, it is partly amusing. Recent experiences like SvS leave me with a desire to learn how to do the cannon 360 glitch, to see if it can be undermined. But the most important reason to pursue glitches, is so that they can be identified, reproduced, confirmed and reported.
