Doc Hawkins posted:That one was eventually explained. Cats lick themselves clean, and thus were counted as "consuming" puddles of whatever they had stepped in. They missed the geese making GBS threads iron thrones. And frankly, while that list is pretty good, it's nowhere near as long as it needs to be to cover the breadth of all the bugs and "features" that amazing game has wrought.

Was it a bug or working as intended when severed body parts could become citizens of a civilization after they'd been brought to life by a necromancer?' Seriously, that list doesn't even scratch the surface. Edit: Also, there was a time where if you trapped a humanoid creature (say, a goblin) in a cage, forcibly stripped them, then threw their clothes into magma, the creature itself would spontaneously combust. This could be used to make a pressure-plate trap that dropped clothes into a volcano, which set a caged goblin on fire, causing nearby alcohol barrels to ignite and explode.

There was a pretty funny glitch when I was doing a practice run on Dog's Life that unfortunately I wan't able to replicate for the LP, where the mailman in Clarksville Village Houses got back into his mailvan - however the mailvan itself has since despawned so he just climbed into and sat on thin air. Also in the Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit game if you break down a particular door in the church for a collectible behind it, you can then wall jump up the alcove , which is outside. If you go as far as you can, Gromit then grabs onto the top of the invisible wall and you can walk on top of it, exploring the Church from like 20 feet in the air.

This happened because it was intelligent enough to speak and had been adopted by the human civilisation. It was their trader, and it sat in the dwarven trade area for multiple months swapping stone mugs for logs and intriguing foreign alcohols before peacefully departing.

Makes sense that being a demon wouldn't necessarily bar you from nobility and/or ambassadorship, but mmmmmaybe the psychopathic need to destroy all signs of civilization should at least lower your chances.

Considering that the actual King apparently believed that she (well, her mortal guise) was trustworthy enough to marry and keep on hand in his court, we may extrapolate that nobody was actually spreading rumours about her. She lied about that so as to draw the King's attention, causing him to lean closer to listen so she could assassinate him. Grain of truth to make the lie more believable and all that. This demon is really good at lies.

Dwarf Fortress is a never-ending font of the most incredible bugs, glitches, and exploits, and has probably had its own thread for that at some point. Dwarves climbing into trees for fruit and then starving because they forgot to climb back down has been all but normalized into the game experience. Amateur necromancers being suspected of necromancy by their own creations and fleeing. Various things exploding because they start on Embark at thousands of degrees (barrels of alcohol, pets, DWARVES...). Giant rampaging megabeasts spontaneously becoming semi-tame and (mostly) peacefully coexisting with dwarven civs. Entire layers of the parts of bodies being made of random materials, like skin made of chalk that melted in the rain. Mining the impossible unobtanium bedrock of the world, as dense as a neutron star, and painstakingly carrying boulders of it up to the fort over the course of months. Diplomats that also had kidnapper, thief, building-destroyer, or other less-than-optimal-diplomacy tags. Inept vampires trying to blame babies for their crimes (though this is more of a feature). Infinite power through water-pump loops. Dropping a tile of aquifer in a cave-in so that you have an infinite fresh-water source anywhere below that point that you want. Entire machines that create obsidian boulders that immediately cave in onto anything below as a defense mechanism. Launching loaded mine-carts through arrow-slits as projectiles, and then later only slightly more sensibly using minecarts and arrow-slits to launch boulder-shot at invaders. Invaders who were at one point in time stoppable by telling them they weren't allowed to path into the fort. Ridiculous mega-artifacts created over the course of years using thousands of units of materials by a dwarf who never in the entire process stops to eat, sleep, or drink. The list is almost literally endless.

My favorite is by FAR the Quantum Stockpile. You create a single square sized garbage dump, preferably in the middle of where your workshops will be, and then mark all your stone and your logs to be dumped there. The dwarves will happily begin shoving more and more items into the exact same tiny space, entire forests worth of logs and whole mountains of excavated stone. Then you simply (R)eclaim the goods, and they will have no troubles pulling out whatever rock they need to carve out some kitschy garbage to pawn off onto idiot caravans in exchange for useful goods. It keeps the Fort tidy and most importantly if put in the right spot can really increase the efficiency of workers since they aren't spending time looking for that one piece of random basalt three z-levels down. Of course you can do it with any items, but I stick to just logs and stone because it doesn't feel like cheating as much; it's just insane dorf-physics! I like to imagine it as a giant vibrating blur of objects, like if you place a bunch of physics objects inside one another and they start bouncing around and wiggling a bunch, except times a million. Then there's also the Danger Room, made by filling a room with training spear traps all connected to the same lever. You make sure you have your militia armored with the highest quality full plate, shields, and weapons you can make or buy and then lock them inside, and order someone to constantly pull the lever to activate the spears. The militadorfs will try and block (for shield exp), and/or parry (for weapon exp), and or dodge (for... dodging exp) and if they fail the spears will hopefully clatter harmlessly off their platemail (for armor-user exp). And since you can place TEN spears per trap, and they react to each individually, that's ten times as much potential XP. Every other time the lever is pulled. And dorfs can pull levers FAST. So in a little under twenty minutes real time, or a few days, maybe a week in game, you will have legendary, godlike warriors who will still probably die to an arrow to the eye, but are much more likely to take a lot of enemies down with them. However, do not allow any mothers be in the militia, because they will opt to hold their infant children in their arms over a weapon or shield, and the first time that little bearded baby takes ten wooden spears to the soft spot on its head it will be turned into a fine mist of former baby. The same goes for any pets or civilians that wander in before you start training.

You know the long, incomprehensible, and often somehow recursive artifacts that insane dwarves make out of random mixes of precious materials and garbage? That's Dwarf Fortress, and Toady is the insane dwarf. It menaces with spikes of impossicode and skin-layer physics.

Then you have a legendary warrior in plate armor gone absolutely batshit insane and will proceed to kill the butchers cat, which causes them to go ratfuck mad, and that causes them to not do their job and then one dwarf goes mentally invalid because of a lack of good meat and then they pull the emergency kill everything lever.

Fallout tactics In multiplayer, you buy a squad of characters, their skills and weapons for points. Dogs are an after-thought, and pretty much just included as variety, and are rendered useless by being restricted to carrying one item, otherwise becoming immobile. except; if you only buy enough ammo for a weapon, that it can all be loaded inside the weapon, the ammo inside a weapon is no longer counted as a separate item. this means you can have a really cheap (points wise) dog, with super high level, sneak & unarmed skills, sprinting around attacking with a power-fist. F*R*I*E*N*D*S - True Friends This Point & Click FMV games was ahead of its time, being one of the first (alongside Ultima, i think?) where you had save-compability that let you carry choices over from different story lines. Basically there were story lines focused on individual friendships, like Chander/Joey, Ross/Rachel, Monica/Chandler, and most allowed for at least a good and a bad ending, with the good ending basically being the friends managing to retain their friendship, and the bad ending meaning they split up over differences, misunderstandings, or just drift apart. Some are pretty sad and heavy, rather than fun, really. For instance, the "bad" Chandler/Joey line has Chandler growing up, raising a family, and Joey is just stuck in an unfulfilling rut and they drift apart. Anyway, the game has a host of bugs that will mess your save game and the endings up. In the "Joey doesn't share" scene, you're meant to give Joey fries, but presenting him with other items from your inventory (you'll do this just to hear lines, usually) and he will "eat" those items too, like he would the fries, without any notification even if it is an essential quest item. this act of gluttony from Joey, means that all of the Joey lines; Joey/Chandler, Joey/Monica, Joey/Ross/Rachel, will all resolve badly. Phoebe has a similar problem, because she is virtually indistinguishable from Ursula throughout the game, and you'll end up giving Ursula essential Phoebe items. As dumb as that is, anyone who followed to show will probably find it pretty appropriate, that Joey and Phoebe eventually gets shunned from the rest of the group and ends up in bleak, fulfilling bachelor and spinster existences. edited: actually not sure if considered shareware at this point and i'd rather not get banned for warez.

In Overwatch, Roadhog (fat guy) has a big hook he can launch out to hook peeps and drag em in and wave hi or shoot them point blank in the face or whatever. Sombra (the player character in this video) can set up a teleport beacon and teleport back to that location. What happens when both of these abilities occur at once? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMZTGY6X2A0 GenericOverusedName has a new favorite as of 14:39 on Nov 18, 2016 |
