In WoW, rogues have a move called 'Killing Spree'. It warps you from target to target like some kind of Ultra-death-magic-ninja and you slit them up something crazy. Seen the new wolverine movie? It turns you into their version of Deadpool, a teleporting engine of ungodly death (Or, 'Dudepeel' as we call him, as he's not really Deadpool).

However, it does make you teleport behind the enemies. If those enemies have their back to a wall?

Mostly, the clipping engine just moves you out of the wall, and everything is sweet. But if their back is up againt part of the world's 'floor' (the infinitely thin ground that makes up the worlds terra firma, extending upwards into cliffs and so-forth.) at a mountain foothill or the side of a ditch...

ACTIVATE KILLING SPREE, SWIFT DEATH TO MY... MY... There goes the ground... falling upwards... forever...

You hit the bottom of the world box eventually, and the game is designed to let you respawn at the graveyard with no penalty (showing the developers are aware that it's theoretically possible), but it breaks the immersion something shocking to know the ground is a pixel deep.

No wonder rogues are so different in attitude to other WoW players/classes... they're freaking deadpool... we even warp through the fourth wall!

Anyway, it's frustrating to unleash hell to then fall into it abruptly. Cool story eh?

Just finished Conan on the PS3 and was really enjoying it. But towards the last few levels the sound goes to shit and at one point there was some atrocious slowdown that seemed to take an age to correct itself. Bloody good game up until that point. Fucked it off now though'cus Graven is one of those boss levels I have no patience for. Kill once. Repeat 4 more times. Fuck off.

I'm scorned at Megaton because a raider killed the inhabitants of some place, "The Family" place, not the underground, the hamlet that sends you there, yeah, Arfue.

Pure: the second you run even an inch off course, you get reset. not sure if this is a glitch as much as it is the way the game is designed, but it's still annoying.

Oblivion: A greenish layer covers the ground and totally messes up the grafic.
It's linked to the 'show distant land' option. If you turn it off it should fix it.

Assassins creed: just most of the game was so bad that it ruined the experience for me
What? Thats not a glitch, you're just bashing it.
Apologies, my wording was quite bad. I meant the game was full of glitches which ruined the experience for me
Can you please explain? I've been playing it for around 10 hours and havn't encountered a single glitch (well, except for that one time when the framerate went down until I restarted the game, but that only happened once and I'm not sure weather that was the console's fault or the game's fault.)

For some reason, Morrowind will occasionally just stop playing, shut down, and take me back to my desktop where an "Error Report" window shows up. It gets on my nerves quite a bit.
It's not the game, it's your computer. It can't run "Morrowind" for however long you've been playing it. You need a better video card or something.

Believe me, buddy. Been there, done that.

in mercenarie 2 i couldnt revive my friend for about 3 days and it pissed me off.
also in farcry 2 you can have friends to revive you if you are downed. so i was downed on my second playthrough and my friend came to pick me up. then he handed me a pistol and shot the fuck out of me with a deagle.

same thing in COD5, there was a bit when we caved in a tunnel, but I jumped back in just when they did it, and all that rubble that comes up to the brim is, well, just a pixel deep. :/

Also, Druids pwn rogues with our catform and barkskin.

I Killed myself during a cinematic. Granted, I tried to do it anyway, but I did not expect to pass the check point dead.

The check point loaded, I was dead. So it reloaded the checkpoint again I was still dead. It was stuck in a infinite loop forcing me to relive my virtual death over and over.

Must be glitched for you even more then, becuase you can kill pretty much everyone you see in oblivion :D I kept one load of the bit in the cave early in the game when you find your way into the cult, the guy is making his speech and I just run up to the podium and punch him on the face before he can go through the portal to paradise ^^ I got mobbed by like, 30 million gaurds but it was hilarious. Oh yeah, remember the chase after that? So annoying on my tank character becuase hes really slow >.< Easy on the assasin guy though.

omg, i hate this glitch soo much, see im kinda a perfectionist in games like that, and after spending hundreds of hours getting all my skills to lvl 100 and completing all the guilds, doing knightsd of the nine last, that happened. I was soo mad, it ruined my "perfect" character :( he is soo annoying, and always steps in front of me when i fight.

Odin Sphere's super lag problem on final bosses. Apparently Japan has a version of Odin Sphere that doesn't have the problem, but we sure don't have it in the US. So anytime you're on a character's final boss, it moves suuuuuuuper slooooooow, making it impossible for me to fight the damn thing. Fortunately my boyfriend actually prefers the bullet-time lag, so he beats the final bosses for me, but I still don't see that as a great solution. I feel retarded for not being able to beat them on my own, which I would if the lag wasn't so intense.
