cartridge tilting

When you pull up on a N64 cartridge while playing without pulling it too much is cartridge tilting. Many things can happen. Note: It can be done by an emulator by loading a game you wont tilt, then load a game you do want to tilt. Same shit will happen. Sometimes, it will crash.
For example:
The sound will become staticy.

Glitch-like things will happen.

When cartridge tilting Goldeneye, the characters will turn into turning human balls (well not exactly).
