In Transport Tycoon, an earlier game from the same creator, you could use a railroad crossing and good timing to cause your train to destroy the opponent's road vehicles. You could also create a traffic jam by blocking a railway crossing, and then have the line of trucks/buses come to a standstill on another railway crossing down the road. Your train would always survive collisions with road vehicles.

To mess with their trains, build your rail tracks connected to the opponent's network. Your trains would never move onto track you didn't own, but conveniently a train will stick out a little bit onto the next bit of track before it actually comes to a stop. This is all you needed to suicide your train into the opponent's.

The code that dealt with the signals didn't pay proper attention to who owned a bit of track and you could abuse this to make the opponent's signals permanently show red. One cheap train and a bit of track could bring a whole railway line to a permanent standstill.

Here's some pictures: http://george.zernebok.net/info/removeopponent.html

If I remember correctly the game would also treat any tile that had your railways on it as being yours, so you could build track over competitor roads to create a crossing and then sell it which would delete the road as well. I'd use this to trap buses in an infinite loop or trap them in a single tile then pile a train through it blowing them all up.

Seth Pecksniff: May 27, 2004; can't believe shrek is fucking dead. rip to a real one.

Got another Madden glitch last night. I wish I found the save highlight option before this because it was truly :wtf:

RGIII drops back to pass in the shotgun formation. I'm rushing him from the front. He turns to his right to pass downfield and the ball is thrown to his left for a loss.

I honestly dont understand what happened. The animation shows he was throwing to the right. His body was positioned that way. Instead, the ball comes out like it's perfectly thrown to the left.

I had to replay that a few times before I was convinced it actually happened.

So, I finally played Oblivion again for the first time in ages, after having restart the game a billion times.
I went into the ruins outside of the sewer and found my dog started doing the staircase samba.

Looks more like a missing texture thing to me.
Speaking of which, when I first installed SI, I messed up somewhere because the meshes didn't get into the game.
After spending ten minutes swimming where an island should be, I looked up to see the khajiit lady swimming in circles ten feet above me orbiting the "WTF Your missing meshes".

When characters in the gamebryo engine that are swimming are suddenly shifted out of the water they'll swim in the air.

Missing game data? That's chump change! Here's the most baffling "missing file" issue in existence, courtesy of the "Game Dev Tycoon" ripoff Game Tycoon 1.5:

Of course, based on the reviews, that was probably a marketing decision.

That's a common missing texture error. I got it in a few games when I temporarily had to go back to the terrible integrated graphics in this computer. However, E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy did something a little different.

Another thing from Oblivion, while it might not be an actual glitch, I refuse to believe that they did this by choice:

For whatever reason, trying to use the beard shader causes your entire body from the neck down to zombify.
This is pretty much why any character with a beard in Oblivion (that isn't Shegorath) is wearing robes or armor.

Also this is very likely the reason they made Sheogorath his own race rather than building him off one of the existing races; to fix the bug on him.

The best thing about Shegorath's beard, is that its technically his tongue.
He's pretty much built from pieces of...imperials or high-elfs, don't remember, with his tongue node being the only new (modified) piece.
I really want to know why they went about making a middle-earth game without including an option for bad rear end beards.

Yeah I regret buying it because he loves playing it but I thought it was basically a babies game with moving lights but the puzzles are a little to advanced for him having never played any video games before. I basically just let him drive around town and mess with stuff and I do the missions at night to unlock everything.
