Fallout 3, I just passes two teddy bears tied to a train track with a little picket sign saying "Help Us" and a garden gnome with a camera looking at them. I think there's a few of these Garden Gnome scenes about, but I've yet to disscover t'others.

I had a chuckle at that, but have you seen the lincon portrait in the house in Arlington?

In Morrowind, right near the beginning you see a guy fall out of the sky screaming, all hios stuff gives you a nice bit o' loot...providing you don't use the jumping scrolls.....great way to clear the fog of war....to bad you hit the ground a bit hard...
(sorry about the blandness here it's been a while since i played morrowind he he)

The "hello Dave" intro to one of the bosses in 'Splosion Man. Was hilarious in its randomness, but seriously, WTF?

Well, those porn-magazines in Borderlands were kinda random.

Wait, what? Where? Who? What?
I... I don't feel as though I can contribute to the thread any more.

Amazing game. The corrupt save file (or whatever it was) was the greatest mindfuck in the history of gaming as far as I'm concerned.

Corrupt save files? Enlighten me...

Op, The last levels of MGS2 Was just pure mindfuck. I wore at the brink of shitting my pants at least 6 times.

I was playing Resident Evil 4 and I had to defend a house, but didn't feel like sitting down stairs so i camped the staircase. Well I turned around to pick up some ammo, and i saw a zombie run up the stairs right past me and jump out the second story window.

There's an easter egg in fallout 3 where if you walk into a factory there's a stopped convearbelt with teddy bears on it. One of the teddy bears has its face in the crotch of another bear and that bear has a bottle of whiskey in its hands. Those horny little rascals.

In Far Cry 2 I remember watching one of the guard guys walk over to some rocks and what appeared to be him.. Jerkin' His McGerkin... I'm not sure if I was just seeing it completely wrong, but I shot him anyway and moved on with a very confused look on my face.

How about the guy in FC2 that's stuck underneath a rock with only the top of his skull sticking out of the top. He could still shoot me, even though I couldn't shoot him.

Also: the glitches in Assassin's Creed 1.

That was one of the sanity tricks, the game would fool you into thinking that your save file was corrupted, i.e. that you'd lost it. Then the screen flashes and everything's all right.

All my buttons on Empire: Total War changed to pictures of a kitten once, that was a wtf moment, had no idea what I was clicking

WTF? I've had some of the technology buttons change around and units spawn with double the maximum allowed, but kittens? Have you been pranked by the devs? Heh

One of mine had to be in the old tomb Raider games - excessive cheating caused all the walls to appear plastered in dinosaur wallpaper :S

I'm not sure how familiar you are with the game. In the game you had a "sanity meter". If you didn't perform "finishing moves" on monsters (and you only have a limited time to do so) you lose sanity. The less sane you are the more the game starts to fuck with you.

When you just lose a little sanity, maybe the walls will jiggle or something. Later they'll start to bleed, then maybe limbs and body parts start falling from them. Previously stationary statues and paintings will come alive and watch you. Other paintings will turn into demonic and disturbing versions of them.

Random stuff also happens too. For instance, the game will put a bug on the screen, so it looks like there's an insect on your TV. It will appear to switch off and is just a black screen with "VIDEO" on the top right. And my favorite is that the game just stops, has some official looking screen with a hex dump and says that your save data was corrupted and had to be erased.

You stand there like what?? Then it snaps back to the game and your character freaks out. Some other stuff it does is say you enter a hall, it's full of ammo! You collect it happily, but it turns out your guy just hallucinated and never actually entered the room. Or it tells you that the controller is unplugged, or your character slowly shrinks, or they rip off their head and recite hamlet.

It's an amazing game and like no one played it :(

If you're curious, look at this

the corrupt data is number 9.

A freaky thing that happend was when I played Batman Arham Asylum. They just Phyco Mantis you insanly. I don't want to say what it is because I can't put up spoiler boxes, but it is super crazy.

No offense, but that made no sense, and you make [spoiler*] insert text here [/spoiler*] and just remove the *'s

Also, getting the Firelance in Fallout without knowing what it as at level 5 was pretty WTF?

The first time I saw a big daddy in Bioshock. I was scared out of my mind.

Though, more recently, the first time I saw a Strider in Half-Life.

Out of all the things I've seen, the most random would probably be in Halo 2 on the Zanzibar Map. If you set the date to July 7, 2007, you'll find a sign that has picture of a decapitated dog head that says "Are you Finding Ling Ling's Head?"

Also the Negative Zone in the original Super Mario Bros was a really crazy easter egg back in the day.

The AI in L4D 2.

Several WTF moments.

To name just one, I was going up a ladder, a smoker was above me tugged, but there was a small ledge obstructing the view, that could EASILY be shot through, or just take 5 steps back,I was hanging there until I died, I had full health and it was on Advanced, with just me and the AI.

The fuck is that shit. =[

This. Me and my friend where playing that game trying to beat that last stand part where you're waiting for the boat in the swamp level for like 2 hours. At the end I got downed by the tank (which I killed) and ellis was literally two inches away from me, but he decided it was more important to shoot at common infected than to pick me up, and my friend was on the other side of the fence, so he had to run all the way around and by then it was too late. Plus they never pick up defib units and are extremely picky about which health packs they'll use.

I know exactly what you are saying.

While running through the mall I was grabbed by a smoker and as soon as i was grabbed all the AI players except the infected literally died right in front of me. So I had to wait and die...it sucks

I have a new one for the both of you to marvel at.

I was slammed by a charger, being pounded, nick was RIGHT next to me, like in a metres distance, and was just looking in the oppostie direction, no zombies at all, just admiring the view.

The other team mates were trying to get out of a room with a door.

So I was just going "OH COME ON!" for about 10 seconds, until I died, and then the second I died NICK FINALLY F***ING TURNED AROUND...only to be punched in the face and essentially knocked down.

It's a Charger ffs... *Scowls menecingly*

Thanks for the clarification, and yes, it is a trully WTF? moment. I was like "OH NO I GOT A VIRUS!" or "OH NO I HAVE A GLITCHED GAME!"

My first experience with Fallout 3 had me stumble across some of these escaped slaves pretty quickly. I had a character loosely themed to follow in the footsteps of the Father (doctor/scientist). When they asked me to help them, and disarm their collars, of the options I was given read something like "I'll try," "No way," then then the Skill choice. I went for the skill choice cause I coulda swore it said; "[For Science!]"

Then their heads exploded. O_O

I was over encumbered at the time, and slowly walked away towards Megaton.

I'm gonna have to go with this as well. I was windng down an all-nighter at about 4am when this happened, and my friend and I were genuinely quite scared when he said we'd "been playing a long time. Why don't you turn off the console?"

Those slaves in fall out 3. I did a bloody liberation, then I went to release slaves. Then slaves said "Where my turkeys biscuits?" Or something goofy. I thought "Wait wait wait, there has to be a way to free them, i didn't take out a city full of quest, bation, and stuff to buy for nothing. Well I couldn't find a way to free them (maybe a science level needed?)I was able to free the kid slaves though...

Does anyone know how to free those guys?

Yeah, who could forget the "Masturbating Guards" glitch? (It's on Youtube, pretty hilarious to watch)

One WTF moment for me was in Fallout 3. Apparently there's a trap in a trainyard where if you grab a teddy bear from a super-mutant camp, the game spawns a Super-Mutant Behemoth to fight you. I had no idea this would happen, and the Behemoth was still far away, so it looked a lot smaller from that distance too, I was wrong. Didn't help that it was my first time fighting a Behemoth and I had no idea what to do.

Also, in the first Uncharted, when

In one of the old medal of honor games, when you where infiltrating the nazi 'valhalla' compound or something and the suits of armour started trying to kill me, seriously a WTF moment.

stadard rule of gaming.. anytime you enter a room full of complete suits of armour just standing there as decoration, prepare for them to come alive.

M'aiq the liar.. that weird Khajiit you find running around morrowind and oblivion was a definite eyebrow raising moment for me

Oh I just remember another one. In Super Mario RPG you have to prevent Booster, a strange dwarf man, from marrying Princess Peach. Upon breaking up the wedding, two chefs walk into the room with a giant wedding cake. For some reason I forgot, they attack. During the middle of the fight, the wedding cake comes to life and begins casting magic. You then have a boss fight with a wedding cake.

What the hell were they thinking?

Thingy being a Girl or Boy in Persona 4

I've never played it, but that discussion with another friend made me never want to EVER go near it ever

...Thingy? What? What "Thingy"? I played all of Persona 4 and recall no such "Thingy". I must know the secret of the Thingy! I commandeth thee to reveal the truth of the Thingy thou hast!

OT: When I had reached the final boss in Persona 3, it was 4:00 AM and I was in a dark room by myself. For those that don't know, Persona 3's final boss is Nyx, the manifestation of Death itself who is hyped up as an indestructible horror that will end all life upon its return. Just as Nyx began to appear, my power went out and I was in complete darkness. Mind fuck.

Also, the first time I saw Pyramid Head in Silent Hill 2. I just stopped moving for a moment and thought to myself "Oh shit".

KOTOR 2,

When talking to Atton Rand (in the mining complex at the start of the game), and asking him what he's doing there, he went on a tangent about how he was a last minute addition to the game.
(No idea what I did to trigger it, besides having a large number of previous characters...)

Fallout 3's Rock-it launcher. you get to shoot Teddy Bears!

I always shot Pre-War Money at them.

Weirdest thing I saw that I can currently remember was either a wastelander randomly exploding in fallout 3 (You're supposed to find him dead but he spawned right outside a building as I exited) or the intelligent super mutant that wasn't fawkes. Wtf moment would be the exploding wastelander of course.

I was playing Assassin's Creed 2 yesterday, and every once in a while as you roam the cities you'll come across thieves or highwaymen or something (the game never really explained, but the first one I saw stole 150 florins from me), and you're supposed to chase them down and tackle them (NOT stab them in the face, I learned that after killing at least 4). So after chasing them for a few seconds they start to climb buildings and push people, as they're always scared to death of you (probably because I stabbed 4 of em in the face).
Anyways, as I'm chasing one of these guys across the rooftops of florence, a guard notices us and joins in the chase. As we continue our rooftop pursuit, more guards join. I tackled the dude and took his coins. Now every time you get one of these robbers, the screen looks at him as he begs for forgiveness. As i'm waiting for the guards to come attack me, i'm watching him beg. He's in the middle of "please spare me--" when the guard runs right past me and stabs him in the face. He falls off of the edge of one rooftop, and into a kind of lowered area between 2 raised rooftops. So I decide to watch. The guard who hit him and two others jump down in there and circle him, as 5 or more guards surround the little square depression. They all ignored me, and he ignored them. He tried to climb the sides to escape but they stabbed him and he fell back down. Then the 3 guys in there with him stabbed, beat and kicked him until he died. For about a second afterward, we all just kinda stood there as the guards wiped the blood off thier weapons. Then they noticed me and I ran off.
My little brother was watching, and the two of us were busting up laughing. Apparently, NO ONE is allowed on the rooftops, with petty thieves taking precedence over hardened assassins.
This happens EVERY time the thief runs past a guard. So next time you chase one down, stick around afterward for a great WTF moment
