On certain PC builds that can happen naturally with some games, but otherwise heat is a likely culprit (or, yeah, the GPU dying for any other reason). I had a bad PC build at one point that ran WAY too hot, and that's exactly the sort of problems and progression that I'd see if I let it run too hard for too long. Maybe just check to make sure your console has enough airflow and isn't dusty in the vents, the general bugginess of this game aside.

It happened too fast for me to record it, but in Elder Scrolls Online, I came across a player running away from a group of bandits, and all of the bandits were nonstop chattering random NPC dialogue like "Would you care to make a donation?"

I don't think I recall many funny or interesting glitchs while playing games, most of mine tend to be the usual ones like getting trapped in level geometry or game freezes. I recall two that were quite strange, one in Borderlands 2 and one in Human Revolution. In Borderlands 2 there's an area called The Fridge you have to work your way through during one particularly long arduous mission. I can't remember what triggered it but I think it was perhaps I tried to reload while the are was still loading but I wound up in the area after The Fridge skipping the whole thing.

In Human Revolution I had infiltrated a large medical company and found a neutral area I could walk around freely. In front of me I spotted a small roomba type thing and thought it was a nice detail. When I approached it though I got the snot scared out of me when it exploded into a full sized human. When I moved away the person shrank back down into a roomba looking thing again.

If pathfinding is so hard, why are humans and other animals so good at it? No one is going to call hamsters super intelligent, but they hardly ever get stuck on a wall.

Probably because computers don’t have coprocessors dedicated exclusively to pathfinding like many animals do.

Serious answer: Games typically have something called a navmesh. For every few steps of the map, there’s a point on the navmesh, and that point is linked to several other points. (Most TES/modern Fallout games have a debug command to show what that looks like.) When an NPC needs to get from point to point, they’ll head straight to the nearest point on the navmesh, find the point on the navmesh that is nearest to their destination, and figure out what’s the shortest distance across the links they can take to get there. But, that doesn’t always work: the target could be moving, or the navmesh could be changing, resulting in infinite loops like that.

I’ve watched horses in Oblivion try to pathfind back to their stables after I switch to another one. Invariably, they’ll get stuck on geometry, get lost, and give up and walk off straight in a random direction forever.

What's almost certainly going on there specifically is that the NPC is alternating between two behaviors- one, to go to a certain position relative to the horse he wants to get on, and the other, to not walk into the player's horse. First he does the one, which makes him turn towards the place he wants to be, and then when he gets too close the other overrides it because someone decided that not colliding with the player's horse is more important than mounting his own. He turns to avoid it, and when he gets far enough away that he's no longer in danger of colliding, he returns to the original plan, which sets him back on a collision course again.

So, twiddling their thumbs and dodging around the mercury pools; I'm not sure how excited I should be that we're getting ever closer to achieving life in an actual sci-fi dystopia.

Thankfully real-world physics are mostly pretty good due to redundancy, the one time in a billion one of your body's molecules gets knocked out of position by cosmic particles or spontaneously ceases to exist you don't notice because you've got so many backups!

...owners of cats or ferrets may still see the occasional hiccup in the physics system though.

I was playing the other night, and I loaded into an already-running dungeon. All the players were in different parts of the map, and I couldn't find any enemies. Nobody in the party would talk to me. I don't know if it was a bug, but it was really loving weird.

Also in AssCreed I had the big albino croc in Krokodilopolis spawn in like this:



His head was twisted 180 degress and he was standing up on bizzare long legs, its hard to see 'cos of the grass.



Also had what I think was a weird stretched horse spawn across the sky, it was wriggling about like it was running on the spot. I tried to get video of it but shadowplay recorded the wrong monitor.
