Over the years I’ve discovered many bugs, Easter eggs, glitches and errors which lazy game developers have either left in their games or my computer/console has farted on to my TV/monitor- here’s my top three most hilarious videogame bugs.
Number Three: GTA Vice City- A floor like Swiss cheese.
My favourite Grand Theft Auto makes an appearance here. Known for its Scarface rip-off story and bright graphics, GTA Vice City eclipsed its predecessor by far and was great fun to play- it was, however, known for its many bugs- including the one which would allow the main character, Tommy Vercetti, to fall through the floor and end up floating in a white-lined void forever. Upon hitting a wall at high speed while riding a motorbike, I went straight through the wall and fell into the void, where I then stayed for an hour…
Number Two: Crysis- The incredible swimming North Koreans.
Crysis is a fantastic game, c0mbining a half-decent story with brilliant gameplay and stellar graphics. The AI, however, is notoriously dumb. Take this situation- Nomad, the player character, is in the sea, having jumped in to escape North Korean troopers on the shoreline. Upon turning on my cloak mode, the North Koreans start running up and down the shoreline yelling ‘”I don’t see him”, before walking very slowly into the waist-deep water and drowning- all eight of them, one after another. Something a bit like like this (about a minute into the video)
Number One: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2- The “Shit” Cannon.

The 'Shit' Cannon
This was the most hilarious of the three comments, as pulling the trigger then holding it down would force the game to repeat “Shoot them! Shoot them!” really quickly, turning that comment into a sound which beared a strong resemblance to the word ’shit’.
Imagine the scene: Stormtroopers coming in every door, Imperial TIE Fighters blazing overhead, I reach into my inventory, drag out a rifle and unleash:
“Shit…..ShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShitShit………ShitShitShitShit……..ShitShitShitShitShitShitShit…ShitShit”
Epic Win.
