Football game that uses the Euphoria engine like GTA4/RDR does. A year and a half before FIFA 12 came out.
If you just want to gently caress around with silly physics in a sports game, download the Backbreaker Vengeance demo on 360/PS3.

I remember a story from an old object-oriented programming book, which I can't find right now. There was a military helicopter simulator that had simulated enemy troops and such, and they were making a version to sell to Australia. So one of the things they decided to add was kangaroos, because a helicopter that spooks a herd of kangaroos can give away its position.

The programmers decided to inherit Kangaroo from Soldier, changing the sprites and increasing their movement speed. When they gave the demo, the programmer flew over a herd of kangaroos, which spooked and hopped behind a hill. As he was talking about how realistic their behavior was, the kangaroos came back out and fired a Stinger missile at the helicopter. Turns out they'd forgotten to remove the weapons from the kangaroos.

Sounds like that could of been the Operation Flashpoint/VBS 1/2 thing.
Dunno though, I have an Australian Military version of VBS and it didn't have kangaroos in it

Putting anyone into a shower in that game killed them.
Sure you could reach out and say sticking an unconscious person in the shower might drown them but if you herd a living person into one it would do the same.
Jeez, and people complain about the water now.

I've never been able to make Skate 3 glitch the gently caress out like that. The most I can get it to do it kill the frame-rate and throw objects everywhere when you stack them on top of each other and climb buildings with objects.

Is it alright to make requests? That Dead Space glitch reminded me of another Dead Space 3 glitch video that I can't find anymore.

I remember this video coming out relatively shortly after the game came out. Basically, while a cutscene was happening enemies were still attacking. Eventually Isaac took enough damage to die and become dismembered, but the cutscene kept playing with him doing scripted things like return fire and toss back a live grenade with a phantom limb, but the moment control came back to the player it went to game over instantly. All the while the player is giving pretty funny commentary. I tried looking, but all the "bug" and "glitch" results are just tutorials for some infinite resource exploit.

I don't get this, what happened between 2008 and 2010 that made her MORE famous for her not to consider staying around? She was already a thing even before 2007. Veronica Mars finished in 07 and that's the biggest thing I remember her in.

It's mostly laziness on the dev's side, the game tells you if you vault cover or land on someone you knock them out.

The same guy also did something similar with NBA 2K14. Its much less glitchy and more the game trying to cope with the worst of the worst, but just as good a read

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.

This one's not technically a glitch, King's Bounty is an RPG where you have to find a sceptre that the king lost at a random location anywhere in the very large game world. This run used luck-manipulation to ensure the sceptre was right next to the start location.

Technically could you just keep restarting the game until that happened, not even manipulating the games 'RNG'?

This is not unlike the rest of the gameplay, which is now just about shooting people in the back until someone shoots you in the back. Head-on fights amount to somebody popping up in front of you for a tenth of a second, then one of you falls over dead. Repeat ad infinitum. They got rid of almost all the environmental destructibility and the large vehicles like tanks, boats, APCs and jets. Overall they just threw away a lot of battlefield's good qualities for nothing.

How is this different from BF 3/4's gunplay apart from you get to turn around and see who shoots you before you die? Or you duke it out face to face for three tenths of a second instead unless you pro-headshot them? Or you start to shoot someone and you get poo poo on by a tank/heli instead? Tell me about BF 3/4's meta gunplay because everyone is saying this but I played Hardline the same way I play 4 and ran good scores still.
Explosives spam in Hotwire does get dull though but PS4 didn't seem to have this :spergin:

-RPG issue the PC had. And they went too far with destruction removal. You should still be able to level houses in that Dustbowl map but since you don't have tanks it just takes longer. And gently caress that radio and water tower, any high-flying sniper perch should be destructible.

I keep hearing traffic in the game is hilariously broken, I thought they just meant constant traffic jams and vehicles not going where they're supposed to. I didn't think it included that.

I'm already trying so hard not to buy that game because I know I'd OCD OD myself on it. Bugs like that just make it harder.

Eehh... the most annoying thing about the traffic is that they line up to turn WAY too early so you have the left lane blocked up for miles, but the center lane that can also be used to turn is empty.

I have a feeling the devs don't have much say in that at least for 'AAA' stuff. Sounds more like a management/suit/publisher choice. It's going to take too long to make sure it runs at a rock-solid 60FPS just make it run at 30FPS or we'll hire someone else that will thing.
Also FPS clearly means Funs Per Second hence why PC players NEED to have it uncapped, to show those console plebs who has more Fun. :smug:

Guy decides to blow up a toxic gas container in a lab, one of the lab techs dies causing his face and tongue textures to continually stretch outwards from his body. According to the guy, it was still there when he loaded up his game the next day. Spoopy!

Why would that glitch even happen?
Dying to gas, as far as I remember, doesn't make NPCs pull any funny special death faces.. well usually at least.

Depends if you want a skating game or a silly dumb physics simulator.
For like, 90% of the time you have to purposely seek out the insane poo poo helixsnake pulls.
A lot is either blatant physics abuse (Sticking it onto the super generous Easy Mode physics and/or Stacking objects on top of each other until they freak out) or purposely loving the game over.

This all sounds very unusual but you have to remember that holy gently caress, BYOND is the worst. It is not actually uncommon for you to just find discarded hud elements that have somehow detached themselves from their host players and gone on adventures. I fondly remember the time we found an orphaned strangle button which made someone pass out every time we poked it.

Back during Donut 2 or Mushroom station, for a while combat was decided by throw-stun chains. Grab someone, throw them into the wall to stun them, wail on them for a bit, and throw them into the wall again until your attacks kept them down.
I managed to grab myself in my hands and I was able to throw myself around.

My favourite SS13 prank was on Donut when I loosened all the windows in the Escape arm. When I died and everyone was escaping, I got the other dead players together and ghost-rotated all the loose windows so they opened to open space. :spooky:
