Weirdest Glitches and Bugs

[Khazoth]

So, what are the weirdest glitches and bugs you've encountered.

I'm currently playing Fallout 3 and I have somehow triggered a bug that causes Giant Radscorpians to zoom in on me. I keep getting ambushed by them, they are literally zooming in on my location and trying to kill me. I have encountered somewhere near twenty in less then five minutes. It is one encounter after another. If I wasn't better equipped I think I would be dead by now. I have somewhere near five hundred stimpacks so I shouldn't be in any danger of dieing but I wonder what brought this on.

to me, it isn't the weirdest, but it just made no sense to me. That is, superbounces from halo 2. Howcome running and crouching into various walls makes your guy take off like a rocket? lol its always boggled me.

My favourite bug is the one in Ultima VII where random items in your inventory disappear for no particular reason. Yeah, I fucking love it.

or wallrunning in doom, whatever

WAIT WAIT WAIT i got a good one. in the original sonic games, in a level that infinitely scrolls vertically, you could bring the screen down (by holding the down button), then immediately jump, causing the level to freak the fuck out. love that one

I get the feeling Fallout's gonna rear it's head an awful lot in this thread.
Well, the strangest one I've seen involves a deathclaw and a caravan. Saw a deathclaw doing it's lungey attack thingy at me, but one of it's hands hit the previously mentioned caravan. Somehow this caused it to shoot up in the air towards the sun.
I think I found him later too. There was a random, crumpled up deathclaw corpse not too far from that caravan anyway.

In Fallout 3 the Yaoi Gui Bears fucking Hover!, towards me its as hilarious as it is terrifying.

also im not sure if the programmed it or if it was an accident but if you hit Chimera in R2 in co-op mode with a fragmentation grenade they dance for a second like in Ratchet and clank when you use the...Disco bomb thing.

Far Cry 2.

The 67% bug. Save your game at 67% and it will not load the next time you want to play, it just will not, it won't even let you start a new game, you have to uninstall, delete the save and start from scratch. It doesn't happen to all games but it happened to mine.

It bizarre, not to mention one of the most annoying gitches in history...

Probably when I was playing Elite Force 2 and all of a sudden the AI just stopped working. All of the character models just showed up in their T-poses and sat completely still, starting with the most difficult boss in the game. After you killed it, it had its dying animation and a cutscene started in which there was a fight between a number of AI characters; instead of fighting, they all sat still, while everybody with an actual talking part in the cutscene continued on normally. The next level started, and everything was back to normal.

-Floating sword glitch in POP Two Thrones (I've mentioned this one a lot before)

-Sealed room glitch in Warrior Within (So I decided to do a little backtracking at the wrong time apparently, because I got into this one room, but all I could do was go around in circles along the walls. I couldn't get out because a hole in the wall that was supposed to be there for some reason wasn't.)

can't think of any others right now

I'm currently playing Fallout 3

Was playing that recently as well when I hit a few bugs.

Found a wastelander outside Minefield buried up to his head and asking for water.

At the Dunwich building, a dead radscorpion glitched out and was somehow stretched into the horizon.

Was trying to hunt the Deathclaw at the F. Scott Key Campground. Came upon it and VATS in on the beast. First shot sends it flying straight up and out of the skybox, then the game crashed. Reloaded to try again, can't find him. Keep searching and find him inside the gates of Tenpenny tower killing guards.

I found a floating (floating as in: IT FLIIIIES!) rock in the middle of a forest in Oblivion. That was kind of fun.

There's a random and temporary glitch in WoW that when zoning in to some instances, the rest of the party appear naked for a little while xD

I always get a chuckle out of the rocket-propelled Deathclaws you encounter every now and then in Fallout 3.

One time I shot Stockholm (the guard over Megaton's gate) and he shot about four hundred feet in the air, then crumpled to the ground in a heap. Then Deputy Weld exploded.

I was leaping into the fight between the Super Mutants and the Talon Company Mercs in front of the Capital Building, and one of the Talon CO Mercs got killed by a missile. His weapon (an assault rifle, I believe) shot through the air and stopped, hovering about thirty feet up. The funny thing was, his arm was still holding onto it, but his body was on the ground. Very stretchy man, apparently. Also, the weapon kept rotating and making a whirring noise.

A commonly experienced glitch: In The Pitt, when you talk to Ashur, after he lets you leave he'll repeat "Don't let me keep you" about four times before running away.

You sometimes come across floating scenery (much like you did in Oblivion). Rocks, branches, discarded rubbish - all just hovering just above the ground.

Not really a glitch in the usual sense, but when I had Fawkes as my sidekick, I went into my Megaton house and went to sleep to recover lost health. When I awoke, he was standing in my room, but due to the furniture arrangements, was unable to leave. And I could not get out because he was in the way. I tried firing him, but he couldn't get out of the room. Annoying.

A lot of old NES and SNES games have weird glitches you couldn't do at normal speeds, so with emulation you can do really weird things.(this should be enough to explain this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRzsZdcSDCQ])

But in normal play, the weirdest bug I have ever seen is probably in Oblivion/Fallout3. Get a ragdoll stuck in a door and watch it slowly 'crawl' to a location based on where it's limbs are.(with some luck, you can launch the ragdoll)

once while playing oblivion I ran into one of the highwayman.
the thing about him was, he was completely upside-down.
I just sat there, dumbstruck, talking to his feet.
after I finished talking to him, he started attacking me.
we took turns slashing each others knees until he fell to ground head first.
It was fucking epic

One that I loved was when I shot a car in Fallout 3 with a shotgun and cause the car to explode, but the car flew into the air and glitched so that it was hovering a couple inches off the ground(on end with the hood towards the ground) and I could run around and push it around and use it as cover. It was actually really useful...I wish I could do it again.

Actually, the long jump stair glitch works on N64.
That's also my weirdest glitch because it's the only one I can do.

I have to try this now. Which levels?

I didn't think that was a glitch, but that happened to me loads after about level 17, I just got set upon by every DeathClaw and Giant Radscorpion in the game (Me and the Yao Gaos(?) have an understanding (Animal Friendship Perk)).

In oblivion I walked out of my house and my horse fell out of the sky for absolutly no reason.
