RoboYeti teaches you the coolest way to play Glitch.
I have created an instructional video for you. Please excuse the slightly loud intro music. I was rocking out too hard.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPjdf17eCXA
Here's what I used in the video.
Here's the Arcade Stick I use; http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Soulcalibur-Arcade-Stick-Playstation-3/dp/B006WVR982/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1350247547&sr=8-2&keywords=hori+soul+calibur+v+stick
I also opened it up and replaced the motion restrictor plate to be octagonal instead of square, but that is not needed for Glitch, but I recommend it if you use it for fighting games, too.

The software I use to translate joystick and button presses into keyboard presses is joy2key.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/joy2key/
And, just in case anyone has one of these and wants to try it, here is the profile I use to play;
(you have to enable the POV switches in "Others" first)
POV1:UP - Arrow-Up
POV1:RIGHT - Arrow-Right
POV1:DOWN - Arrow-Down
POV1:LEFT - Arrow-Left
Button 1 - 1
Button 2 - Enter
Button 3 - Space (Auto turbo 16, or you can use hardware turbo)
Button 4 - 2
Button 5 - 4
Button 6 - 3
Button 7 - B
Button 8 - Escape
Button 9 - C
Button 10 - X
Button 11 - - (Auto turbo 6)
Button 12 - = (Auto turbo 6)*
Button 13 - Z
For Button 12, it will show up in joy2key as ";" instead of "=", but it is a bug. It's weird, but just put "=" in there anyway. I also forgot to mention in the video that I have auto turbo for the zoom in and out buttons as well, as it makes it nicer to use.

- Very cool, thanks for sharing
- Holy crap... The amount of awesome expressed, may or may not ever be toppled. From the wammy blessed guitar riff, to the snuggie, to rudest cat, the Borderlands bobble, and the Joy Pad. Seriously cool. Oh and if your snuggie ends up missing. It wasn't me.
- This is epic sir. Well done indeed.
- omg, I was tweeted https://twitter.com/playglitch/status/257630723014553600

Very cool. Thanks for taking the time to do this,
--Me - I wonder if there's a way to do this with a PS-type game controller.
-
Mal'akh - yes there is. This is a PS3 arcade stick I'm using. For the PS3 controller on windows, you'll need to use the charging cable to connect. However, there is a way to use bluetooth on a mac. I've done it.
I don't know of a good joy2key program for OSX though, as I use my macbook for work exclusively. - That was very entertaining XD nice job...my snuggie is the leopard print but i think i like yours better.
- I think I have a crush on RoboYeti's snuggie. Or the cat.
- Thumbs up for all the gaming references and obligatory cat. Also, have you ever tried playing Game of Crowns with the joystick? I'm curious as to how that would pan out...
- Poppy approves!!!
- Yay! Poppy approves! Also, I have played Game of Crowns with it, and it was pretty fun! But, I don't play very often and can't compare how well I'd do with or without it.
- Looks like fun! Thumbs up to the electric guitar Glitch theme and Snuggie.
- Nice rendition of that tune!
- Hey Danny: Suggest that tune as a alternate song for the Metal Machine :D
- That's pretty awesome. :)
