What is the strangest, most ridiculous, or even most hilarious glitch you've ever experienced in a game? I seem to find a glitch in every game I own in a matter of weeks... That probably says more about me than the developers, though.

Glitches make the world go 'round. :chuckle:

Probably in Twilight Princess doing the spinner glitch is Kakariko village.
I'm afraid you're going to have to elaborate.

I think some of the strangest glitches I've found were in Animal Crossing for GCN... Once, one of the villagers was walking around in the river like it was nothing. Another time, one was standing on a wooden sign. Not to mention the DUMMY item that blows up your game. Bad times.

Catching Missing No. was both completely awesome, and completely stupid. (Level 100 Kanghaskan replaced with a Weedle sprite named 'AB%3?123AWEE3DLE' for the win!)

Oh, and on some browser based game called Sherwood, you can run up Castle Walls in some places.

^^THIS

I enjoyed catching a level 132 Mewtwo which was surprisingly strong, though I was always afraid of ever trading it off due to it not being at a normal level.

I once caught a lvl 250 snorlax while doing the missingno glitch. I used a bunch of rare candies on it, it got past lvl 300 and eventually "grew" to lvl 0.

Probably the Mew glitch in the first gen Pokémon games. Maybe not the most ridiculous glitch, but an awesome one.

OoT glitches are my favorite:

-crouch stab does same damage as previous attack
-if you complete spirit and shadow temples you can skip the first 3
-skipping ganon's trials at the end

there's a lot more but those are the ones that stick out the most

Flame shield up!!!!!!

In all seriousness i think one of the funniest glitches i seen was this one time i was playing Medal of Honor Vanguard. It seems that the ragdolls have a tendancy to go sky high like they catch onto something they will fly into the sky.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

That's the glitch. Everything about that game was incredible, yet insanely glitchy.

BAD: Once, after becoming a werewolf in Solstheim, I traveled back to Gnisis on the homeland and BAM, all of the buildings and people were gone and all that was left were floating doors. This never reverted, so the city was permanently gone.

GOOD: If you "walk off" of the edge of one of the highest tiers on any of the Vivec cantons, you take no fall damage, but if you jump at a low[ish] level, you die.

GOOD: Randomly walking in Solstheim, you may instantaneously warp a good 50 feet up in the air and continue walking slowly downwards until you touchdown on the ground. This was a great glitch for avoiding them **** Spriggans and Rieklings.

BAD: Take a bunch of skooma and moon sugar and try jumping in the East Empire Trading Company headquarters in Ebonheart. Your head will forever be stuck in the ceiling (from excessive drug abuse?).

GOOD: Jump onto a desk, then jump at the ceiling. Your head will clip through and in that split second that your head is no longer in the building, no NPC can notice you as they are programmed to read the face model, so you can technically steal anything below you unnoticed.

I could name tons of more glitches from that game..

oh also

corrupted blood plague ftw

that counts, right?
Sure, why not. And, according to my book, Cliff Racers were glitches themselves, as they were the single worst programmed thing in that game.

Dagoth Ur was an *******. Blight, blight, blight; blah blah blah...

Sometimes when I'd do the MissingNo glitch I'd run into level 120 Golducks. It was odd indeed.

I also liked the chicken glitch in Twilight Princess. It wasn't useful or anything, just amusing.

There is only one spinner glitch, I am pretty sure everyone has seen it.

Sonic Adventure 2 battle was basically a really big glitch. Sometimes starting a random level while pressing buttons results in sonic having 50 foot arms flailing like he's having a seizure.

I think one of the wierdest glitches I've seen lately was the Oblivion glitch, where you talk to a quest NPC and in capital letters, the subtitles say "I AM ERROR I AM ERROR I AM ERROR I AM ERROR"

I tried the Sonic one, but if you press them really fast, and there is some combo, in which gives him huge legs too. I only tried it with Knuckles though.

Let me see...oh I got one.

I was playing my friend on NFL Blitz for the PS2. I was receiving the ball after my friend scored a touchdown and a field goal. Then, the strangest tackle appeared to me. He was looking at the sideline away from me and suddenly, he roll really quick to the right and I trip and fall to the ground. I was partially pissed but laughing my butt of at the same time.

Also, anything in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 is a glitch. I was facing the unoriginal Silver for the first time and he was stupidly killing me with the same move. Now, I understand he can throw me away just to get some space and probably attack again when I'm ready. However, the glitch fur uses his telekinesis twice on me, so I was dead on the second shot before I could even move to get to a single ring.

You've still yet to elaborate, sir.

Once on Super Smash Bros. for 64, CPU Samus fired a fully charged Charge Shot at me, and I shielded it at the last moment. Exactly 3 seconds later, I went flying off of the stage. Delayed knockback... :ohwell: For no apparent reason.

I'd have to say the demo for WWF Smackdown: Just Bring it, where your opponent would just magically appear outside the ring. This was probably the worst glitch that isn't Cliff racers.
Lol.. I don't think those were glitches at all, it's how it was programmed to work, after all it was the demo version so it still had bugs.
