Dynasty Warriors 5. I was zoomed in on Lu Bu with a bow from about several hundred feet away and suddenly, the Lu Bu cutscene played. When it was over, Lu Bu's head was one inch away from my bow.
Another was in Red Faction Guerilla. I was playing on Insane, and I just made it up Mount Vogel. When I saw the Mauraders come, I cheered, knowing that they would save my ass. For some reason, they turned agressive and killed me.

on call of duty: finest hour, I throw a sticky grenade next to one of my British AI allies head. When it exploded, his legs (which were in the ground) and arms went ape shit and he started moving backwards.

on Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, I shot a German soldier and his body stretched out and he warp across the map

in Escape from Butcher Bay, in the second prison, I killed a random guy near a camera and his body screeched onto the camera lens so when the camera started to fire it's gun (in the second part of the game the cameras shoot at you if you commit crimes), the body just started to fly around while the head was still stuck

Oh shit moment:
Playing the original US Monster Hunter on the PS2, I was doing a mission where you mine a large chunk of ore from a volcano region and carry it back to the base camp. You have three chances to do this. There's a giant stone wyvern that patrols the area outside of where you get the ore.

So I'm almost to the zone when the wyvern spots me, charges up his megabeam, and fires. The beam is just scraping my character, but doesn't "hit". I managed to hit the zone to the next area. Again, I cross and I'm just at the zone. This area has boars running around. Just as I'm at the zone, a boar spawns in front of me and charges. I thought it was going to fuck me over, but instead it passed right through me. So two near misses and I managed to make it to base camp.

Oh shit moment #2:
That alley in the DC ruins on Fallout 3. Nukes going off everywhere while I ragdoll in the wind.

The first time when I played Half-Life 1. After the reactor-explodamafying thingy, a Headcrab just jumps at me (I didn't know that there were headcrabs yet) and I get so startled that my body thrusts *back* into the chair, and me and the whole chair fall down on the floor, with the back part/headrest parallel to the ground. I didn't play the game again... for a week that is.

A cool glitch that happened to me in StarCraft was that I put a Firebat in a bunker close to the enemy Sunken (which was still morphing in), and it was firing REALLY fast, yet it wasn't doing any damage/splash to anything in the area. I clicked on everything, and the Zerg structures were only regenerating.

In Mirror's Edge, in that level where you have to climb a construction site and snipe a convoy, I fell and Faith kept doing the falling animation, (legs and arms circling) but she didn't fall. Had to restart the whole level.. D;

A double whammy, in fallout 3 i had a bit of a problem with the experimental MIRV (a mini nuke launcher that fires 8 mini nukes at once). when i fist got the thing i really wanted to test it out so i went to the deathclaw sanctuary, found a death claw and reduce him to a sorry pile of pixels. only his corpse fell through the world. now i have a death claw that occasionally spawns ten feet from me and attacks any think that moves, its invincible and after a few seconds of its terrifying rampage it shoots into space like a rocket man from hell.

if got my own bouncing angel of death stalking me. and it follows me everywhere except in buildings, but if i go out side it comes bounding down from the heavens to assault me once more.

I've lost count of how many times I've fallen into rocks in Oblivion. Funny how you can phase through them when you're falling into them, but they're solid as all hell when you try to jump out. <_< Or when you try to grab something in a room, and the physics suddenly acts on all objects, and you hear the sound of a hundred objects vibrating on tables like crazy. So many glitches...

One other slightly annoying glitch I had was playing Half Life 2: lost coast. Normally the developers cometary is supposed to stop all the enemies from doing anything but somehow it got reversed and I could only play the game while one of the audio comments was playing so every minute or so everything would stop so I would have to start another one.

I had one just a few hours ago. I was playing Rome: Total War (because I'm pretty much out of games until the holiday season) and I was defending one of my cities from barbarians. I had a nice city, with stone walls, and a good, well rounded army that they didn't have a chance getting past. After rearranging my troops to stop them cold at the walls, I start the battle and the enemy troops just start running. At first I thought that they were just withdrawing, because they knew that they had no chance, but I was still suspicious. I double-checked the gates to make sure that a spy hadn't opened them, they were closed. I took another look at the walls on the side that they were heading towards and it turned out that there was a huge, gaping hole on the other side of the city, far away from any of my soldiers. Out of frustration, I quit the battle and reloaded the last auto-save.

Turned out that, if you build new walls over damaged ones, the new walls will have permenant holes that cannot be repaired. I'm gonna have to look to see if the glitch is fixed in a patch and hope that it resolves it.

once fell off the planet itself in "star wars episode 1: racer" I was on tatowine hit a wall and flew into a area made of blackness.

LOL that game was awesome

As for me, in Oblivion I killed some of those hostile campers outside of Skingrad I think, and the most creepy and bizarre glitch occured: Their dead bodies were posed like scarecrows. I slashed them and they collapsed. THis happened twice, I was creeped out. Also in some dungeon I kept fallign through the floor, took me a couple minutes to keep myself from falling and escaped.

FALLOUT 3>>>>>

Let's see... Had the flying Deathclaw glitch when I was firing on one in VATS from a cliff. I've had an oh shit moment where I had a subway robot one-hit bashed-to-pieces by a hidden Deathclaw, but uhhh...none may surpass the glitch of "Hi, I'm suddenly standing right beside you!".

Let me explain that to you. It first happened (TWICE) in the Oasis, getting out from putting Harold to death. There's these two Mirelurk Kings and they can't reach me because I'm overlooking a pond at a cliff sort of area. So hey, I can take potshots right? Well, not exactly. 'Cause you see, suddenly one of 'em was right beside me. It appeared out of the blue, quite physically impossible. And after I killed it in a very shocked and frantic way...it happened again! (A further time it occurred, I was running from a Super Mutant parade and THEIR LEADER suddenly appeared after I was long out of their range and supposedly safe!)

Another one I just remembered...is Dogmeat. Remember how you maybe left Dogmeat at home? Like inside Megaton? And you know how the Enclave attack on the Jefferson Memorial leaves you cut off from the main lab with a buncha' civvies with no choice but to go forward? How the hell did Dogmeat end up RIGHT BESIDE ME when he was nowhere near this mess?!

SIMPSONS: HIT AND RUN!>>>>>

I just wanna mention this since it falls into the coolness factor. I'm the one who actually discovered one of the glitches mentioned on Gamefaqs [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/code/914690.html] about this game. The Easy Smithers Race. Totally exploitable and good for a first level where your cars aren't exactly fabulous.

There was some part in Half Life 2 where you were still running from the CP, but there was a tunnel you had to go through. So you're crawling through it, but then there's a hacker aabout to pop out. I almost shat a brick when that happened.

Holy shit I hate manhacks. Seriously, nothing in a game has ever freaked me out more. Maybe I'm just weird, but those things make me RQ crying.

The one that comes to mind now is the glitch in the Meresti Train Tunnels in Fallout 3 when the baby carriage explodes and then there's just a doll head floating in mid air.
