Lumberjack Bonanza posted:With Bethesda it can really go either way. Todd Howard did an interview where he said he thought it was funny, because I guess other people at Bethesda were kind of upset about the whole thing once it got out there. But I think they have patched it so that if you put an object on someone's head, they automatically move around until it falls off. So technically it's possible still, but not really.

Pretty sure Todd Howard said that "funny" bugs were going to be left alone unless they were gamebreaking. It's why giants are still able to launch you into near earth orbit.

I don't think it was a definite, more of a "maybe we'll keep it." Todd Howard posted:I think our favorite [user made video] really is putting the buckets on the heads. It was like day two, and we went, what? Do we fix that? Our lead programmer is pissed and wants to fix it, and I said I’m not sure we should. That’s one of those where maybe we leave it in. I know every time I've tried to do it recently the NPCs automatically move around to shake the object off their heads. I've heard other people experiencing the same thing and the wikis out there say it's been patched specifically to do this. I know they patched out at least one other funny glitch very recently (the naked couriers). And from what I understand, the real reason the giant glitch was left in was because it would actually be really complicated to fix and it doesn't affect gameplay significantly other than being weird, so Bethesda just decided it would be easier to leave it alone. Something to do with the way the game handles damage I think. You can get a similar effect yourself if you kill enemies with one really powerful hit.

Not sure if its a glitch or its super realistic (as I've never tried it in real-life), but in GTA 4 if you are driving and you whip out the phone camera your car stops instantly. Cooouuusssin Neeeekkoooo

So this isn't all that "funny," I guess, except for the context: I was playing Bioshock Infinite and it had been running flawlessly -- not a single glitch or bug at all the entire game. Then, right as I hit the point where it starts transitioning from pulp adventure to horror, as the tension is starting to really ratchet up... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pqImaK3UDc

My favorite part was the bit where the boost was set so high that every time the dude hit it his speed overflowed and he flew backwards.

Sorry for the lovely quality, I had no capture card when I got this. On Fallout 3, if you put bodies in doorways and repeatedly open and close the door on them eventually they just kinda.. go a bit weird. No idea what led me to this discovery but I was glad to find it because I pissed myself laughing at it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LToxFKXJZPM

The speedrun thread seems more about live/published speedruns, and it's the glitch that's relevant here. There's a new TAS submission for Yoshi's Island, and the glitch it uses is pretty crazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFLbk8QlQw8 link to above youtube video Rough explanation if you don't want to read through the submission description jargon: when you take an egg from a rat while it's in the air and then despawn it by moving far offscreen before it lands and "realizes" you have taken the egg, you now have a nothingness glitch in your egg inventory. When you complete a level, it has to check what to do with your eggs/keys/other items, but if you have a glitch there, you jump to a place in memory based on something (I think they can get it to be Yoshi's x-coordinate). The problem is that the x-coordinate of the goal ring isn't in the right place, so the glitch uses a shyguy to somehow alter the tongue-ability of the goal, to mess up the scrolling, so that when the goal resets, Yoshi has the right coordinate to jump to controller input, which can be used to end the game immediately.

Similar to the Lucian Lachance glitch where he's standing on his horse, but this one is much more mysterious to me since it's the main character in sleeping dogs and a motorcycle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLO4S1MWZNs

I've got a picture of it on my computer at home, but I was playing Diablo 2 once and had a glitch with my Assassin. The class gimmick is that you have combo moves that build to a finisher - you use the combo move several times to build up charges, then get a bigger finishing effect based on how many you've stored up. One of my abilities was just supposed to make a small explosion and cause some area effect damage, but it bugged out and each level of the skill increased the area of effect seemingly exponentially, which meant every finisher caused the entire screen to explode in a massive firestorm, killing enemies two screens away and basically earning me a level every time I unleashed it.
