Video gaming's most hilarious bug (search bar approved)

[rated pg]

Quite simply, what is the most hilarious or downright peculiar bug you have ever encountered in any video game?

For me it would be in Star Trek Armada, a little known RTS in space. There were 2 bugs from this game that made me laugh pretty hard (and weep a little bit) so I present the runner up and the winner.

Runner up: There was a powerup ability the Borg could use in the game which scrambled your user interface so all the menus went everywhere for about 30 seconds. I had this used on me just before I went to save the game and thought nothing of it. When I reloaded that save, all my menus and other parts of the UI were crammed into the corner, overlapping each other. I almost couldn't exit the game.

Winner: In the same game, but a different level, I saved during a campaign mission (was Klingon vs. Romulan, controlling Klingons) and quit the game. I load up the mission the next day to continue the game, and find I am in control of...the opposite side. After trying to force the Romulans to lose to continue the story didn't work, and after reloading and then trying to kill the Klingons didn't work, I was forced to restart the mission. Frustrating, but hilarious.

Of course there were many from games not involving Star Trek, usually sandbox games. So what were some of your best ones?

Mine was also from a Star Trek game, Starfleet Command 3. In what was likely the final mission for the Klingon empire, I had destroyed/commandeered all of the enemy's ships, save the final one. I knocked down his shields, took out his weapons, destroyed his engines, and took his health down to nothing... but his ship wouldn't explode. I attempted to hail him, thinking that would trigger something... nothing.

In the end, he turned out unbeatable. RAAAAAAAAGE!

i was playing half life 2 in garys mod, looking back... probably not the best way to play it but fun none the less, anyways... here what happened...

so i started up episode 2, and i'm in the train right... well i go to the end of the train and i see alyx coming round the corner but theres something wrong... its not alyx. the game had accidentally loaded the skin upside down. everything was normal but she was upside down. walking and talking and doing whatever it is that she does there... but upside down. if i had had a screen capture card i would have made a video it was high-larious. oh and she never lets you out of the train anyways so i was stuck in the train.

I must say i do enjoy the seizure's the various Locust's, uh, "endure" for lack to a better term, when shot down next to cover. Its something to do with the fact that they turn to putty once dead, but when at a crease in the floor and wall they make an interesting twitch out for five minutes. Always worth a good grin.

I wonder why finding bugs in games is a job. To test games and see if there is anything wrong with it. But it is funny to find dumb bug in almost every game I play. The job just seems kind of funny to me?

In Saint's Row 2, I shot a police officer, then ran over his body. For no apparent reason (I didn't have cheats on), it launched me into the sky. When I landed, I was clear across the entire city.

Enemies in Fallout 3 flying in the air like super-acrobats upon death.

While playing Oblivion, a minotaur flew up into the air. And never came back down.

Mine is a bug in call of duty world at war (I know there are a lot) It's on the makin map and happened to me in a match and when i went online to see what had happened i found the youtube video of it, You have to see it to believe it. It's like a retarded tidal wave glitch

I'd say the glitch in Fallout 3 that causes some enemies to launch into he sky upon shooting them in the head.

Spoiler: Examples

Note that the last one is a brain bot. Never saw where it's corpse landed, I'm pretty sure that's the highest any corpse in my game has gone.

Spoiler: Also, this glitch isn't really funny, but I just wanted an excuse to post it

I was playing BF: BC on Par for the Course. I had one of the small tanks and was going up against a bigger one. I said fuck it and rushed it while holding down my fire button. As soon as I got to it, my shell forced the enemy tank to jump up a little and land on top of me. The tank forced me under the map and I reappeared a moment later. I saw my character in a sitting position.... riding in an INVISIBLE TANK! The only thing you could see was the main character.

I was driving around in midair and I was STILL able to fire my guns. It reminded of of Crazy Frog.

Fallout 3 and I dare say Oblivion glitches are hilarious.
When you escape the Vault as a baby, too, that's win.

That has to be my most recent favorite, found this in Paradise Falls.
(Does it remind anyone of Splosion Man?)

Not really a glitch but in Call of Duty a Japanese solider jumps out from behind a door and kills your commander and this is part of the story. I played it with my friend and when the man jumped out I stabbed him and he died a good 5 feet from my commander who then fell over saying he was stabbed. I felt like doing an Unskippible thing to the cut scene by just repeatedly telling him that he enemy got no where near him and to grow a pair.

While playing fallout I killed butch when he was ten and his body went all stretchy.
