Bugs buggy bugs

Okay, so lets hear your bug stories, what is the buggiest game you've played? Funniest bugs?Bugs you used to your advantage? Bugs that made games downright unplayable? Bugs that plagued the game so much so you saw them crawling out of the CD case before you even put it into you console. Bugs that heck, even damaged your console. Venting ahoy!

And yes, 'A bugs life' is probably the most buggy game, but that isn't exactly what I'm getting at.

Fallout: New Vegas. I don't care if it's a good experience. Or even if the game goes back to usual setting of Fallout. A buggy game, is a buggy game. This is just unplayable. Fallout 3 had less bugs than this. So bad.

Oblivion had some pretty hilarious physics issues. Like this one time, I punched a guard in the face (power standing attack), and I had been punching him a lot already, so that final blow knocked his stamina into the negatives, so he "passed out", and he kind of clipped into a barrel, and WHOOSH, he went for a scenic tour of Cyrodiil courtesy of Physics Bug Airlines.

In Neverwinter Nights II, when it was newly released, a very amusing bug created copies of the most badass weapon in the entire game. "Why yes sir, infinite copies of a super-weapon, enough for the entire party AND their retirement funds? I'll take it!"

Combat Mission: Shock Force before all the patches and expansions was downright unplayable. Game destroying bugs and a crap interface and crap controls. Now, several dozen patches and expansions later it's the best Modern Warfare Strategy sim you can get.

ArmA II was possibly the most unpolished game I've ever played, but I think perhaps that it was less a problem with the code itself, and more that a lot of PCs were having trouble with it at the time - it was having a lot of trouble stretching beyond the hardware it was tested on. A lot of PC games have that problem. Not every engine can be as scalable as Source.

But it was still game-cripplingly awful.

fallout 3, i found an outpost with a super mutant trapped behind a fence so i was going to leave it, one glitch later and it had passed through the fence and i was running for my life through the building, it amused me to no end

Bugs you used to your advantage?

The bug in Oblivion during the vampire cure quest. You can keep asking the vampire for money an infinite amount of times. I used it during my 3rd playthrough. My character had over 5,000,000 gold. Easiest playthrough ever.
