Video Game Glitches

I played Saints Row the Third. Glitchy game. Then I played it with online co-op.

Playing Skyrim and I walk into this village.  There's a cart full of cabbages, and for some reason this NPC decides to start flying through the air.  It looks like he's standing on a flying carpet and moving at about 10 mph, 15 feet off the ground, but instead of a carpet, he glitched through the cart of cabbages and he's got two or three of them attached to his feet.

Also Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation had an issue like that. 'Cept it was an old woman who clipped through the floor and was never seen again.

Ya' gotta' love it when your horse goes over the side of a small ledge and somehow lands on his feet and keeps going like nothing ever happened in Red Dead Redemption..

It's so buggy, you have to wonder if the thing was even playtested. And if it was, apparently at Rockstar "playtest" means something akin to "circle jerk."

Makes sense....

Here's one for the books.

I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not because of the "Dastardly" achievement on the XBox 360 version, but in Red Dead Redemption, if you kidnap a whore in town and hogtie her and bring her out into the country on horseback, then dump her hogtied body on the railroad tracks to get run over and squished by an oncoming train (the achievement is a measly 5 points, bummer), before the train strikes her prone body your horse will jump on to the tracks and commit Mr. Ed suicide via playing chicken with the train!

I've tried different methods like ditching the horse away from the tracks before I kill my whore, but the horse will even run from afar and kill himself with the train. I've even tried shooting my horse to scare him off (I would have made a great cowboy) but to no avail. I dunno, I'm still stoked that gruesomely killing a prostitute via a speeding locomotive is rewarded by the game. Rockstar are some wonderfully sick individuals!

I liked the glitch you could use in Zelda II, in either a palace or town.  When you were able to get on top of a very high structure and jump so your head was offscreen, you could activate the FAIRY spell in mid-air and press any direction and you'd fall, then reappear in a different type of place.  Not always helpful but definitely interesting.
