On the theme of strange body location-related things, my personal favourite was trying to do headshots on Oblivion with a bow.
Apparently, heads in Cyrodil are in a state of quantum flux, and your arrow just goes sailing through them.
Like Shroedinger's Swede.
My favourite recent schwat the fuck though, was playing Dragon Age.
Having just spent the last 80 hours of gameplay romancing Zevran, I get to the final assault on Fort Drakon, we have our tearful goodbyes etc etc, and then he says something along the lines of "Ah, my friend, I would attack the Black City itself by your side"
FRIEND?
I just saved your life repeatedly, I gave you purpose, I gave you some spiffing boots and gloves, I humped you in between every mission and taught you how to love.
And now we're friends?
Considering the high standard of the dialogue in Dragon Age, I spent the rest of the final mission yelling "FRIENDS?!?!".

Every time I play Resistance 2, I somehow manage to kill myself via glitched grenade. I'll be crouched behind a chest-high wall and I'll try to throw the grenade over the wall while still crouching. Apparently the grenade has Velcro on it because the grenade sticks to the top of the wall, and I die because I take for granted that it went over the wall.
Then there was that time when I got one of the Naruto games for PS2. I went into versus mode with my bro just to confirm something that had been bothering me for a while. We both opened up our command lists, and sure enough, they were exactly the same. That's not an exaggeration; they are all the same!

The larynx is located in the neck not the head. So as long as there's air in the lungs and the throat is intact, a groan would be possible. At the very least, a noise of some sort.
Sniper rifles do 50 damage silenced, x1.5 for headshot, 75 damage.Gray Monk said:
That's why you dont use silencers on sniper rifles.
That scene from Metal Gear Solid 2. I think I was literally saying WTF(both the acronym and the words at various points) in the... umm... that.
Resident Evil 2, you get attacked by a licker, it cuts of your head and you go flying around for a while. Three seconds after your head is cut off, you get a full scream, making you jump because it was so unexpected.
Pretty much any time in GTA IV, when the aiming and cover system decided to work against me.
Oh wait, that was all the time. I do recall screaming out "WTF!" a few times.
Not strictly gaming, but the first time I saw the Bioshock Trailer (this is when I was around 13, mind you, and I'd been raised on a diet of "family friendly" games like Star Wars Battlefront (which was/is an awesome game) and Halo 3). I'd never been exposed to any kind of gore up until that point, but the drill going through the hand and body kind of messed up my mind for a bit. Then again, I was 13.
It probably didn't help my dad was watching a horror film in the next room.

Silencers in games usually makes me say WTF. Because the guns are actually silent with the silencer, which makes no sense. Just because there's a silencer attached to the end of a barrel doesn't mean that the gun is somehow 100% efficient at converting potential to kinetic energy for the bullet.flaming_squirrel said:
Just about every other moment the first two Banjo Kazooie games. The Brits probably laughed their arses off when it got a E rating since the double-entendres in the game were pretty raunchy if you knew what they meant.
What the fuck? Why the hell did that Clone Trooper NPC just throw his glowing red thermal detonator into the wall right next to him, blowing himself up? Ah, Star Wars Battlefront II and your AI...
What the fuck? Did a whole collection of frigates I captured just phase through an enemy ship? Ah, Homeworld and your harmless but funny glitches...

All Resident Evil games. You can blow up several zombies in one shot with a grenade launcher. But you can't break down a wooden door.
The chick in "Jak and Daxter 2-3" that fell in love with Daxter. Bestiality is not a thing I want in my video games.
Well when i killed a deathclaw in Fallout 3 and the body started to fly and hit me so i died..
OH and Commander Shepard headbutting the Krogan!
