Speaking of Sims 4, have a quote from that game's thread:

So, one of my Sims suffered a bladder failure, but that action's still in his queue so whenever he doesn't have another action waiting, he pisses himself. Also his hand appears to have merged with a pot of spaghetti.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Snapchat A Titty posted:

While playing the swamp DLC in Fallout 3 I fired off a nuke inside the old gothic mansion while rednecks were attacking, and they all went absolutely nuts, stretching out to thin pseudohumans & getting stuck in geometry. It was pretty freaky.

Reminds me of my favorite Mass Effect 1 glitch: getting hit with too many biotic effects during the Benezia boss fight and melting through the floor like some magically expanding wet spaghetti man.

At some point, the developers of Tribes: Ascend decided to remake some old maps for the latest game in the series. For those who do not know - the game centers around capture the flag at high speeds.

One of the added maps were Raindance - an open and nice-looking map with the flags being on top of platforms some 10-15 m over the ground.

However, this being Hi-Rez doing the development, some issues were obviously present in the map - most critically: bugged geometry around the flag stand.

This allowed this to happen:

Please note that I actually hit the skybox in this case.

Here's a video of how bugged the geometry is (seriously, watch this):

Well Tribes as a series built it's unique gameplay style based on a bug, so I am not exactly seeing anything wrong with that video. And even in the early days of Ascend you could go ridiculously high by going equally ridiculously fast.

He wrote what amounts to basically a novella about Tim Tebow going to a fantasy Canada where they play the craziest version of football ever. I read the first chapter and want to read more, but it's so absurd that I can't even handle it for extended periods. For instance, in order to save money, Toronto communicates across the city by a series of pipes which you shout into, which then travels through an underground network of more pipes and twelve year olds repeating your message at various intervals.

He also started Breaking Madden back up.

This is more beautiful than the Madden one. He's poisoning the game and there's nothing it can do. It tries but there's nothing to give.

That was pretty fantastic. Loved the guy who was so bad he wasn't getting paid and the weird Obama is President-for-life bug. You'd think that if a game is designed to go up to 30 years into the future they'd randomize the President after at least 8 years.

I loved the narrative of these pathetic assholes being forced to ball, despite their utter inability. Basketball becomes a sort of death camp for the capricious whims of King Obama.

Nope, the guy in the story was Maharajah of Howduyustan. Scrooge showed that he had an additional money bin full of cash underneath the one that was emptied to win to contest.

In a later Don Rosa story, the largest statue was still standing, and was repurposed as a museum/library.

Pretty much every game that has a big battle going on does stuff like this. To me the most impressive was when Kingdom Hearts 2 managed to have you fight through a thousand enemies in one fight. It probably used the same method for the most part, but I'm not sure.
