Best part is it's goon-written but I can't recall for the life of me who it's by, but it got started in the video game urban legends thread.

Based on that Mario 2 video, I think I'd die of laughter first. I know nothing about purposely glitching games, but the results are so absurd - is this on-purpose glitching a fairly recent thing?

It's by the fantastic Rocketlex. :)

My favorite glitch I unfortunately don't have a video of, but one day after playing Red Dead Redemption for a long, long time, my PS3 started to overheat and things got weird. There were a ton of bugs and glitches all over the place, but the most memorable was when I went to duel that Mexican Army captain in the attack on Escalera. The pre-duel cutscene played out same as always, but once the actual shoot-out started, there were two of me. One standing in the foreground to the left like always, and another behind the captain, also in the "hand hovering over holstered revolver" dueling pose, and the captain was facing him, with his back turned to me! I actually just let him win instead of shooting him in the back because I was curious what would have happened if he shot my clone. Unfortunately that was an end to the fun, because shooting the copy counted as me dying in the duel and reloading my last save.

For actual images instead of just :words:, sometimes in the Sims babies come out...wrong.

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.

People keep saying this is a bug, but I refuse to believe it. It's a feature. Giants are just that strong. :colbert:

Mass Effect 3 had some pretty quality animation:

This reminds me of a weird glitch I got when playing the Ardat-Yakshi monastery level:


(sorry for low quality, I play on Xbox so my only option was taking a camera-phone picture of the screen)

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.

Crossposting from the Imp Zone Fallout 4 thread:

WeaponGradeSadness posted:

I just did a quest that gave me and two bad guys the "essential" status for a staged fight, and then once that was over didn't remove the status, so I can never complete the quest since I have to kill the enemies for the second stage of the quest, but I can also never die and having my health dropped to zero causes the game to freeze for half a second before returning me to full health, no rads. Cool.

I actually kinda like it for now, I'm sure at some point I'll get bored of the complete lack of challenge but for now I'm enjoying my character being an immortal avenging death spirit.

Thats the main reason I buy Bethesda games on PC, a handful of quick console commands and that error would be fixed!

I googled it and apparently the normal console commands to set someone as inessential don't work either lol. Everyone who has it is stuck waiting on a patch.

It's the side-quest called "Confidence Man," keep an eye out.
