I get a lot of these in GTA 4... In Halo 3 I also remember the one where if you drive a tank over the energy shields it'll fly thousands of feet in the air

I was running through a Raider outpost in Fallout 3, and as I was coming to a dip in my path, I V.A.T.S.-killed a raider standing across the room from me. I turned around to make sure no one was following, and suddenly I hear something explode behind me. I turned back around, and the raider was in pieces below me.

It turned out he slid into a trip wire which activated a shotgun trap that blew him to bits, but I didn't learn that until after the fact.

I was in a high-speed car chase in GTA IV on one of the interconnecting bridges when suddenly...

Well, it was basically the police car crash scene in Blues Brothers playing out before my eyes. Seeing your car get sandwiched between and then mounted by armored vans is quite surreal.

Also one time I was playing Fallout 3 and a headless Yao Guai corpse fell out of the sky and landed right in front of me. I still have no idea where it came from.

This one time, I put a shoe on top of a barrel in Half Life 2, in the trainstaion. I must have bumped the barrel or something, whatever. The shoe flew off and killed a metrocop.

In Team Fortress 2, I was playing at a friend's house, who has this really twitchy mouse. His left click doesn't actually make a click sound. Imagine a pressure sensitive left click, like a touchpad, and that's basically his mouse. Anyway, I was playing as a sniper, and I accidentally hit the left click button. I killed a cloaked Spy.

Also, this:

In Oblivion, I was just prancing about the countryside filling in the map. I went into a house and the moment I stepped out a freaking unicorn was there, waiting, facing me and ready to attack. My horse was miles away, so I fought him. "Unicorn is unconscious", the game gallantly said to me. I hadn't realized he was a Quest NPC. I take my chances and run away (I was near Chorrol at the time, so I map travelled to Cheydinhal). Would you believe that when I left the town THE FREAKING UNICORN WAS THERE. He attacked me again. Since I couldn't fight him, I ran. I couldn't map travel because I was still under attack, so I had to run. Perhaps I could've cheated, used a mod or something, but the whole situation was so hilarious that I just kept running. The Unicorn of Hell chased me through forests, mountains, hills and swamps. It followed me into an Oblivion gate. I took the Sigil Stone from the Oblivion plane and the Unicorn still hadn't had enough. I eventually went far, FAR into the mountains (the place you have to go to for the Lifting The Vale quest) and when I returned, the Unicorn was thankfully gone. 3 hours spent doing NOTHING except leveling Athletics indirectly, but the best 3 hours of my gaming life.

Me and a friend are playing SR2, and as we are driving, a couple of Saints fire randomly in the air, and a random pedestrian falls from the sky(!).

in Mass Effect, when trying to get Liara-and you get to the surface ruins, and the dropship starts sending in the fuzz, everyone dies but me. the armiture shoots its anti-tank gun left, i move right, it shoots right, i move left, i run and hide behind something thats survived all 10 of my grenades and 5 carnage attacks thinking it cant get me coz anything that has a flashlight for a face and wires coming out of its arse is not smart enough to walk around. and while im sitting there recharging my shields and about to create a distraction, a geth stalker has a MASSSIVE clipping problem when trying to jump onto my impenitruble rock only for us both to be stuck with my only option to stare at synthetic testicles and then randomly everything explodes and i die.




also in halo 3 a drone got bugged so it just started flying in a perfect circle and was doing that for 45min.

Hail to thee, oh Master of Shoes. Mini-me from Austin Powers would be proud.

GTAIV is definitely a centre of "Wait what" moments. You can be doing anything in that game and suddenly something bad will happen you didn't know was coming. The number of times I've bailed out of a flaming, speeding vehicle only to be run over by a car that careens around the corner at exactly the wrong time is just ridiculous. I think it all amounts to the camera being very exclusive about what it shows is going on. However, I have also had amazingly awesome moments as a result, so who can complain.

Anyone who's sent Niko flying into the air for a full minute by ramming into the right thing at the right speed at the right place will know what I mean. It was so awesome to watch, dying didn't even feel inconvenient.

Once I was playing L4D then I turned a corner and saw a hunter running round in circles on the stairs and this was single player.

The game driver. I look in my rear veiw mirror to see a police car flipping through the air, 30 feet from the ground. In games back then, that didn't happen.
