funniest game glitches you ever saw...

No they didn't.

In terms of capability of course they've improved, but I have noticed a negative correlation between phones "progression" and the battery life's ...regression?

The new Samsung Galaxy S2 seems to have the best of the current generation with almost 2 days of moderate usage, whereas my old crappy Samsung J700 can run for about a week and a half.

OT. Pretty sure TF2 had some ridiculous glitches. Some pretty infamous trolling went on where a player could block the shutters preventing the whole team from playing.

I honestly can't think of anything funny though. Which makes me think about how QA has progressed. I remember years ago gamers where concerned about consoles having hard drives and how it would give developers (or publishers) an excuse to rush a release since they could just release a patch after market. something considered inexcusable since they had a stable platform to develop on.

You type in a number and then talk into the thing. Where's the improvement?

Unless you mean all the worthless garbage tackled on, like taking pictures, watching movies, mp3 ringtones, huge colorful displays, connecting to the Internet. But that's not really an improvement, it's just worthless junk to kill battery life.

Funniest glitch I saw recently was in Fallout NV. Was taking on the end boss of the main quest line and he suddenly flew up into the air and never came down, so I just sat back and picked him off with my long range weapons.

Also had that happen to me, except with all enemies randomly when I tried to get Mechwarrior 3 running on my PC a year ago. Game itself would run without crashing, but just the weird AI stuff. Not sure on how to fix that.

Oh and in my recent play through of GTA San Andreas had many cases of the enemy driver I'm after getting knocked off the road by other traffic and their car blowing up causing me to get an insta win on the mission. Though that's more random good luck / bad AI than glitch related.

Back in the day, when I actually played MMO's, I managed to get one of my RL friends to step into a place that I knew to be a "hole" that dropped him underground a ways.

Also seen some funny physics glitches, like when I made Niko Bellic jump on top of that skyscraper that looks like the Goldman Sachs building. I also saw Grunt's physics get locked up, so there was this Krogan just gliding along.

Well, thats definitely one way to look at . I myself don't have a smartphone precisely because of the pants battery life. You can call it useless, but if you're sitting in a boring lecture and everyone has laptops/smartphones/etc and all you have is some shitty Breakout clone, or getting lost in the city, you could call up some gps map directions instead of walking around in massive circles for 2 hours trying to find a place.

Reading Icemans post just reminded me of one, in Fallout:NV. After getting to the hotel, the seedy one I forget what its called, I had to meet a guy in a room. I get there and decide to wait a while since he wasn't there yet. When I woke up some dudes from the clan where standing around to give me a message, they wouldn't leave, so I waited some more, when coming out of that more people showed up to give me a message, it kept going. it got the to point where I'd wake up and there were some 30-40 people trying to give me a message.

That's not a bug but a hack, if I remember correctly.

It's not even a hack (I think). It's a game where you can design your own fighting move, and the guy purposefully designed them under the normal rules this way, I believe. I mean it's obvious from the video it was done by design. I posted it tongue in cheek. That's why I gave a "real" answer after it.

In its defense, you could argue the term "glitch" doesn't just refer to an accidental blip anymore but the style of blip... So it's still a glitchy game even if it's purposefully made that way. Cf. glitch music.

One of my personal favourites was an instance of the good ol' Trespasser rubber arm.

I tried to jump across a gap from a platform to the nearby top of a steep hill. The rest of my body didn't quite make it, but the bottom of the gun I was holding jammed into the flat surface at the top. My body then proceeded to slide down the slope to the bottom, but my hand remained wrapped around the gun at the top. I hit the bottom with my enormous arm stretching all the way up the slope.

While playing Morrowind with the Tribunal add-on, I went to sleep in the first slave cave near the village where you are released. The assassin spawned behind the slave cage. All he could do was say mean things to me. I should have left him in there, but i needed his gear.
