Title says it all really, what's the most annoying or hilarious glitch you've experienced in a game? It can be anything from your NES carts showing a mess of pixels or glitching through the ground à la Battlefield 3 beta.

Right now, my most annoying is in Guild Wars 2. I'm a Mac user (queue the Mac hate) and sometimes the camera just spazzes out at the slightest mouse movement, making the game nearly unplayable. When it comes to funny ones though, this is still one of my favourites

I got glitched twice really bad, that almost made me stop playing the game.

The Walking Dead- Train car glitch. One of the rarest glitches in the game that forced you to restart the entire train puzzle over again. Really killed my will when I had to talk to everyone else all over again.

Fallout: New Vegas- A game breaking glitch that caused the game to freeze whenever I entered the New Vegas Strip. The fix was quite random and made little sense to me. You had to wear a old cowboy hat whenever you entered the strip. It worked just fine after that.

The Skyrim glitch got some hahas out of me when I first played. Glad they kept it in.

One of the funniest glitches that I came across was from, I think, Killzone on PS2. The leg of one of the guys I had just killed as flickering back and forth as if he were running, which immediately reminded me of the leg twitching scene from 'The Rock'.

Me and my friends found one in dead island, the guy got himself stuck between two rocks, and moved his arms in such a way we were all making train jokes despite not going anywhere. Many lulz were had that day

Most annoying bug I've had so far was while I was playing XCOM:Enemy Unknown. Two of my soldiers are sitting near either side of a corridor, one heavily injured. I put the non-injured one on Overwatch (the other guy couldn't because I had used his moves to dash)

Next turn, a Sectoid comes down the corridor, and I see the message "Cpl. SomethingOrOther takes a reaction shot!" and watch him slooooowwwwllyyyy raise his gun up. While he's doing so the Sectoid then promptly shoots my injured soldier dead, and then (and ONLY then) does the Overwatch shot finally hit and kill said Sectoid.

As for funny bugs? Well (assuming the glitch doesn't have to be something we personally experienced) the funniest one I've seen recently would have to be the results of riding a Horse onto a Dragon in Skyrim:

Can't find a picture but the Fallout 3/NV Bloody mess glitch where you get discombobulated body parts and eyeballs floating is pretty funny too.

So I was playing Colonial Marines and this happened
It's coming out of the walls!!! Haha

Most annoying for me was the bug where all your old savegames disappeared in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. This happened after I suffered from the glitch ingame where your camera freezes when a soldier takes a reaction shot, afterwards I tried to reload an older save but they were all gone, lost over 30 hours of gameplay.

Most hilarious was one in the demo for Jedi Knight 2, after a good round of using cheats to spawn mobs that you normally can't face in the demo and turning the limb mutilation all the while up.

So we started a new game, where Kyle Katarn gets dropped to the demo level smuggled away in a crate, he exits in the cutscene, says "I have a baaddd feeling about this..." only to get his head and limbs promptly cut off by a lightsabre-wielding mob that the game decided to spawn on top of him right at that time, the cutscene bugged out with his head rolling up to the camera. The timing on that was just frekking perfect :p

Dark souls. The 1st NPC near a fire I encounter there's a message "scar" on the ground, asking me to attack "it". Turns out there was some type of shade around and I needed to attack THAT instead of the NPC.

So I attacked the NPC, died and... respawned at the fire with the npc STILL hostile to me.

Since I heard Dark Souls was a really tough game to play, I died like 50 times before figuring out that I shouldn't have attacked him in the first place. I know it was at the very beginning of the game, but still I stopped playing right there (I'll try again sometime later on I guess)


One annoying glitch to keep an NPC hostile at your save point especially when the NPC is very superior to you imo.

I couldn't stop laughing for like 20 mins after I watched that. And coincidentally, I'm actually watching the let's play right now. I'm about 40 episodes in. That playthrough is hillarious!

The New Vegas one is my pick for most annoying - mainly because the way my savegames had worked I lost about 10 hours of gameplay since I didnt save frequently enough. Though it did teach me to have a few rolling saves.

I think the funniest glitch that ever happened to me was in GTA 4 multiplayer, I think it was a free for all death match, and the host had is so everyone had rpg's but for some reason my character wouldn't die, so there I was laughing my ass off at the absurdity of my character flying through the air due to the explosions, but he would always get back up unscathed. I don't know how it happened but it was the single best moment of a glitch that I can recall.

diablo 3 has this annoying bug that prevents you from playing offline.
that one sucks
funniest would probably be something involving new negas and explosions.

I was both annoyed and amused when a giant had sent me +10,000 feet into the air, then causing me to land, also shounen manga-style, with almost no reaction from a group of NPCs that were camping other than a disgruntled "Oh, not another one...". The hilarious part was that I jumped so many points into HP (I was at least level 150) that I still survived. I think I also had some mods that made the falling more realistic, so eventually, my character stopped staying perfectly vertical, and took a sky-diving pose with her hair blowing in the wind. 'Twas epic.

Probably the best experience I've ever had in Skyrim. And the most annoying, because I hadn't saved for quite a long time, and was immediately killed by bandits because of how damaged I was. And I was too busy laughing that I didn't notice.

I had a lot of hillarious glitches when playing New Vegas and Skyrim, the one that stuck with me most was at the very beginning of NV:

That game would freeze up if you looked at it wrong. That game has to be the most annoying glitch wise... or at least it was if you played it within a year or two of launch.

Funniest would have to be the RDR NPCs flying like birds. Well, not exactly like birds, they just flap their arms and float around.

Actually, the PS3 version got worse the more they patched it. The final version with all DLC installed was unplayable. If you went to Freeside, Khan's Encampment, or the Stripe,you would drop to 2 FPS, You had to somehow save then turn your console off and start the game up again.

I don't think that was a glitch. If the host turns friendly fire off when creating the game then you won't be hurt by bullets or explosions. Then the host gives everyone rpgs because its funny to see people go flying and the only way to kill someone is through impact/fall damage. The rpg would send you flying and you'd take damage if you flew high enough and fell.
The Freemode in GTA IV's online eventually got full of games like that and it was really annoying for me. Not sure if the option was available in death match.
