wonderful yet strange smell

What IS it about games that makes this happen? Can anyone explain it? It's so drat common.

I imagine it is the physics engine that bugs out because there is a layer of collision between the ground and the top floor which the ragdoll falls through.

It also happens often if you kill people with grenades because that pushes them below a collision layer in the map, this makes them bug the gently caress out right below the textures or right above them.
Another example is in skyrim:

The engine is a mess and I hope they make something new for the next Fallout/TES game since it is really showing its age.


Batman Arkham Asylum had a great "bug" which would gimp Batman if you stole the game:
