10 Bizarre Glitches That Actually Improved Video Games

6. Swing Glitch - Grand Theft Auto IV (2008)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxvaADab9Do Like "Shaun!" before it, some in-game glitches improve the experience simply by offering players the chance to have some pure, unadulterated fun - fun which doesn't play by the rules of any established world, and can provide you with hours of entertainment should you be both bored and drunk. Such fun can be had with the now infamous "Swing Glitch," which finds its home within the realms of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto IV. Apparently not content with designing a swing set that acted like its real-world equivalent, Rockstar instead opted to craft a monster - one which, should you approach it in a vehicle, may or may not fire you through the sky for absolutely no good reason. The first time this happens, it's terrifying. The second time, it's insanely fun, especially as you're never sure how things might pan out. Death? Serious injury? Multiple homicide? And there are several swing sets scattered about Liberty City that will be happy to indulge your aerial pleasures, so don't be shy: approach a swing set today!
