The lights are on
Sometimes they're entertaining, and sometimes they make you want to throw your controller across the room in frustration, but any way you look at it, glitches are an ever-present part of the gaming experience. Despite thousands of hours of play testing and millions of lines of code, almost no game is safe from the occasional technological breakdown. We combed the web to find video evidence of the most egregious and laughable errors. Here are the most notable gameplay glitches of 2012.

If only super kicking a maid was real, and if anyone made a goal like in the beginning of the GotY (glitch of the year) video, i'd give them a five dollar bill
Best post ever!
Sad, I havent heard of any of these glitches. /:
In Borderlands 2 right before I got to Sanctuary, I accidentally drove off the map to the right, but instead of dying, I landed on the edge of the cliff lower down. I was stuck, so I pushed against the rocks a little and got underneath the map. It was pretty awesome. I died after walking around for about 2 seconds though.
LOL all awesome, great article/collection of youtube links
Haha, nice.
The Dishonored glitch has us cracking up at work.
FIFA's collision engine looks terrible.
lol at glitches! XD
My favorites would have to be FC3 or Dishonored
I remember trying to crate in Max Payne 3, man was it fun to jump around in slow motion.
Fifa 13 had some good moments. Once a striker of mine received a minor injury and fell on top of the goalie, and he laid on top of the goalie for quite some time. Needless to say, it's easier to score on an open net.
