20 hours on the Dying Light DEMO...

>_>

I don't know if I mentioned it before, but here's one for Zelda: A Link to the Past GBA.

With the help of a glitch, I was able to swim from the pool NE of Kakariko Village to the cave in the village. The tricky thing (aside from activating the glitch in the first place, though at least it doesn't appear to be frame perfect, unlike the mirror glitch) is that, if you get hit while swimming on land, you are no longer swimming. Also, while swimming, you have no way to attack (though you can at least avoid attacks by diving deep).

Also, in Might and Magic 2, I killed the Cuisinarts without winning any other battles first.

Probably most absurd thing I have done in video games happened long time ago. During my teenage years I have modded a car in one of the first NFS games to look like police version of same vehicle, painted some graffiti to its texture and added head of one of my teachers on it. After modding me and my best friend played the game. It looked like our teacher has stolen police car, vandalized it and was then on the run.

We were very amused then :) Now it seems so childish, but then it was all another story :)

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

I played the game progressively as normal, but then I got to a mission where you were supposed to chase some guy speeding away on a motorbike while you're also on a motorbike, performing breakneck turns and dodging in and out of traffic etc. Driving a car with the keyboard in these games is irritating as you can't help but crash into other cars, people, objects every 10 seconds, but driving on a high speed bike where one bump and you go flying off it is next to impossible.

As such, I kept failing this mission and trying it again, and again, and again. I hate it when games put impossible or extremely difficult unrealistic tasks/missions/challenges into the gameplay and force you to do what the developers decided you will do with no other option. When that happens in a game I may get frustrated and/or bored of it and either ditch the game, or do something else instead.

For Vice City what I ended up doing was stopping playing the game because it wasn't fun anymore trying to do this stupid motorbike chase over and over again, so instead I stole huge vehicles like the Greyhound bus, then drove around the city looking for ramps or anything that looked like a ramp, and did non-stop jumps over the ramps with the bus which looked hilarious. My buddy and I had more fun doing that kind of stupid shit in Vice City than actually playing the game the way you're supposed to.

I never played the game again after that, except to jump Greyhound busses and cause general destruction for no particular reason. I love the GTA game franchise, but certain missions and elements in the gameplay TOTALLY SUCK, especially if you can't bypass them or take an alternative route or course of action. I wish they were not only more open and let you choose what to do, but when on missions I wish they'd make them more realistic and let you decide how to accomplish a given task rather than being on an obstacle course bullshit with a timer running out, and cars magically appearing out of nowhere to get in your way endlessly. It sucks because the game goes from being this amazing game for hours on end then has some retarded impossible mission that totally destroys the enjoyment of the game, almost like Quick Timer Events.

That's because it wasn't "him". It's not a specific NPC placed there in a wounded state only to be saved by the player, you stumbled upon a different generic NPC. It's a fairly common spot to encounter injured stalkers since it's both a small stalker camp and there's tons of mutants in its direct vicinity.

I set fire to someone and then pissed on them to put them out and when someone passing by saw it they started vomiting so I cut their head off causing vomit to start shooting out of their neck.

Wait....

Wait Wait Wait I'm sorry.

That wasn't in a video game. I actually did that.

Final Fantasy 5:

In the fight with Azulmagia, I once drained the boss of all its MP, then used Self-Destruct. Afterwords, the boss kept trying to use Self-Destruct on me, but failed due to lack of MP.

Also, I managed to find a way to multi-target Holy without the game crashing, though the method isn't exactly practical.

Furthermore, I discovered that, if you try to cast Phoenix, but don't have enough MP, the "Not enough MP" (or whatever) message comes up, but a fairy still comes down and revives the target with full HP and MP.

Final Fantasy 3 (Famicom):

In the fight with the Cloud of Darkness that you are supposed to lose, I cast Shell a couple times on my white magic user. This made the boss's attacks do only one damage, when I had thousands of HP. Unfortunately, the boss is invincible, and you have to lose to continue. (I believe I used Toad or Mini on the character to negate defense.)

Etrian Odyssey:

I beat the main game without a Medic.

Sadly I don't remember the crazy things I've done over the years. Most experiences were fun at the time but since I play solo, there was nobody to share them with.

I found two screens I took of funny moments from games:

Fate: "I'm famous! I'm....wait, what?"
Mount&Blade: Yeah, I'll take those."

Did you find the hidden fan message in NOTRs swamp? Did you find the car?

In thief 1,2 I throw all the bodies in fire places...

I did it after getting it so I didin't have any problem like that.

Have you tried lying them on a table and blackjack-ing their butt constantly? Until they no longer moan or sigh?

I tried to get a few of my girl friends to play video games with me. That was pretty absurd.

I found Mankrik's wife...

You've never been to an academics house have you?

I got books like the Americans got guns.

I have mountains of books, just the thought that anyone would put anything on top of them, whether in game or IRL makes me cringe. ;)
