[quote="=BA-MF=LoneGunner65=2nd=c":2dbdf]How do glitchs happen anyway?[/quote:2dbdf]

The C/C++ programming languages have many inherent problems in them, which make the programs written with them have underlying problems: things that the programmers did not necessarily cause. In a program that is made up from millions on lines of code (as games are) these intermittent faults (glitches) will show up from time to time over a period of extended use (ie. thousands of hours of gameplay).

Intermittent faults are extremely difficult to reproduce, and therefore nearly impossible to troubleshoot and eliminate.
