Isaw this somewhere else and liked it, but I can't remember where. So don't be mad at me for stealing your idea. I just want to know the weirdest thing that's happened while playing a video game/ I'd tell you mine, but I want origional answers, not from a prompt.

Mine was when I was playing Kirby Krystal Shards on my N64. I was fighting the 6th boss and instead of getting a game over Kirby was still alive and dead. No health but still able to fight. Unfortuneatly Kirby couldn't grab the Mtamato so I had to restart.;.;

There's been a lot of odd things that happened to me in video games. For example, I was playing LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga for the DS, and I would often find objects with messed-up texturing issues. The objects' colors were screwed up.

Weirdest thing for me was when I was playing diamond. I went out the back way of hearthome city, surfed, and when I ran into a pokemon, there was a phyduck and a missingno. and the weirdest part was I was with myra! And I couldn't fly until I teamed up with buck

I think I've read about that happening somewhere before.

Umm, easily the most weirdest thing ever happened to me, I was driving a boat across a lake on Far Cry 2 and this other boat came along and started shooting me. And being lazy like I am I didn't stop driving and shoot back, I just tried to ram them. But when I hit the other boat it jumped over it and glitched me to the top of the game at over the speed of sound probably, if you don't know then Far Cry 2 is known for having the biggest game area ever I think with over 50 square kilometers. So I was flying super fast in a boat along the top of the game and it was lagging badly because it had to load sections when I went over them... anyway I just flew on for a while out of the game so there was nothing below me... it was whiteness for a while... the boat engine was getting annoying by this stage because it was stuck at one tone, the annoying whine of a boat out of water.

On I flew... I seen My Documents pass below me, it was out of sight in a few minutes... by the time I reached My Computer the novelty of flying through infinity in a boat was starting to seem not so fun, and it didn't look like slowing down... I was unsure, but risks are what makes life enjoyable, so I ejected myself from the boat.

The small vessel was gone in an instant, I looked around as I fell but couldn't see it anywhere, I could see the haze of something below me, the ground perhaps, it was coming closer...

closer

Then with a cry like a... uh.. man dying, my man died and it said game over.

Tru Fax.

The weirdest thing that happened to me on a game was that I was brawling offline in SSBB and then I clicked the temple stage and when I was brawling it was practice stage 4 online battles...

I was playing halo, I was doing good as usual, and than my brother sneaks up and picks me up, lifts me three feet of the ground and says. "boo"

Oh dear god that's horrifying!

Who would interrupt a game of Halo?

That's disgusting!

nothing weird ever happens to me

Wait, I remembered a more weird one than what I originally had.

Ok, so a group of kids and I were playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and we were in the adult Spirit Temple. The person playing spotted a growing shadow beneath Link, meaning a Wallmaster was going to appear. He tried moving away, but it was too late. The Wallmaster grabbed him (causing Link to scream), but didn't pick Link up like it should have. Instead, the Wallmaster was just staying in midair, with Link's head grasped in its grotesque fingers (all it is a what appears to be a decaying hand, for those of you who don't know what it is), and the Spirit Temple music kept playing. Not wanting to risk losing our data, everyone watching told the person playing to not mess with the game, and perhaps it would have continued playing normally. It didn't for quite some time, and an eerie silence had filled the room. Eventually someone turned it off, but not until we exchanged a few "That's pretty creepy"s and "When it grabbed Link I got surprised"s.

I'm pretty sure the game had frozen, but since the music kept playing, nobody was quite sure. The fact that Link screamed and then absolutely nothing happened was just outrageously ominous for a game like that. What made it more creepy was the music that kept playing. If I remember correctly, it's a bit creepy itself, but that wasn't the bad part. The bad part was that the music kept playing. When a game freezes, the music either screws up, or just stops. That really contributed to the creepiness.

I was playing Halo 3 and I threw a sticky grenade, I stuck a guy but he didn't blow up. And it just stayed there even after he died. O_O

Woah...Gotta think about this one. I'll be back.

Oh yeah. Not the weirdest thing, but it's pretty weird:

I was playing Sonic Adventure Battle 2 on gamecube, and I was climbing a wall as Rogue. Out of nowhere my screen freezes, and then goes back to the normal screen. But, I don't think I'd consider and blue, yellow, black, and red background normal. And climbing in the same place doesn't really get you anywhere either...

Online Halo matches can involve hackers, right?

Modding?

You can do modding when you play with friends.

XBL bans hackers faster than the game can load, and there's nothing like Homebrew on Xbox, it's uber tight security.

One time in Zatch Bell: Momodo Fury I was fighting that peru guy(the star guy) and When I told Zatch to do the spell Zakerdor...Zatch ran in the pit in the center(you couldn't make contact with you, it was just a graphic coolness look) And Zatch fell in. And he died instantly, but I was still able to cast spells and the star guy's attacks never could reach Zatch. So all I did was yell spells and dodged until he died, but. When it said you won, it says game over and flashes purple and green. The disc wouldn't work for 2 weeks after that.

Once in Kingdom of Hearts(the 1st one), I fought Cerberus. You know how he has those dark pulses come out of the ground wherever you step? Well, I got on top of Cerberus's head and the dark pulses appeared on heads, but they did no damage to me. It eventually killed himself.

Also it happened when I was on the tiger mouth in Agrabah, I got on its head and the main character/heat seeking eye lasers that followed me kept on hitting his own eyes since I was standing on his snout. It also eventually killed itself.

The last two seem to have been programmed into the game, since bosses usually can't attack themselves unless it's been made to do that.
