Not far from the California Drive-in near Primm is a small little cave where a dead NCR trooper lies, guarded by a couple of coyote's.

I usually snag his armor to sell it or make use of the gun depending on what he drops with. Just like any other time, I down the coyote's and swagger up to his corpse when out of no where I hear the longest "UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!" I look up and an NCR trooper is falling from the sky, clips through the mountain and lands right next to his dead comrade. Never happened again in all my other playthroughs.

But hey, two service rifles! Whee!

Finding Deputy Beagle taking a leisurely swim through the ceiling of the Vikki and Vance was pretty unexpected too.

I met old lady Gibson in the air. I got close, she dropped down, and asked me if I wanted to buy anything

Last night I rpped c4 onto all the white glove members, stood back and watched the show. Then I hear the all too familiar "thumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthumpthump" of a body stuck in one of the scenery meshes. I look all over for the source, as sometimes all it takes to stop the annoying sound is to loot the corpse. I can't find it. I know I'm right near it because it's so loud. I look up at the very high ceiling in the banquet hall and there she is: two feet spasming out of the ceiling. TCL to float up and loot, problem solved.

-Gunny out.

Bodies getting rubber-band-ed on the level geometry is always fun. I had a Centaur somehow get stretched across 50 feet or so at the NCR/CF.

Some feral ghouls were attacking me when I decided to run like a little girl to the nearest shack. Then I walked into the shack and I was like ''Oh, this is a nice shack.'' I started looting some stuff and just walking around a little when some ghoul suddenly appeared out of no where and attacked me. I was like ''Pffft, one ghoul! That's what I call target practise!'' I took out my holorifle and shot him from point blank distance. Then I remember ''Oh, yeah, I have that meltdown perk'' and I exploded and laughed my ass off.

I haven't progressed level wise that much, so I don't know what meltdown does

Bloody mess is a pretty cool perk! Especially when you watch it in cinematic angles with slo-mo!!!

My favourite is when I enter VATS and target and enemy who is 5 feet away with my Magnum. I target like 6 headshots, yet when I give the command to fire, my player just stands there getting mauled until I die...best time ever! Especially if my last save point was 30 minutes back :cryvaultboy:

I approach Searchlight then fast travel to Novac. From out of nowhere this Sergeant (I think) comes up to me and says "Turn back radiation zone blah blah". Then he turns around and starts walking back towards Searchlight. He chased me through the desert to say that. Now that's devotion.

Haha, these are funny!!! Thanks for posting, didn't think anyone would want to post anything. Another WTF moment I just experienced is that I died 5 times from the same cazador a week ago, and I just today realized when you rip off their wings it makes life much easier. Gotta try that soon.

@mad cat what the hell is that? It's either a ton of random mutated bugs (shudder) (your probably dead in 2 seconds if those were cazadors) or was it a glitched up deformed tree?

The first one is grass that somehow is forming on land that isn't rendering.

The second one is a pathfinding fail.

Both pics have reaction of the breaking of suspension of disbelief by Annie and any companions.

When I saw a NCR soldier literally drop down out of the sky to assume a 'random wandering npc' position at the 188 Trading post. I caught it on video too, but he was so far away that it's hard to really see him. He's just a large dark blur falling from the top of the screen.

* The VATS bug in Dead Money was hilarious, my character entered VATS but didn't shoot the Ghost, the ghost proceeded to hit me once, then stared at me and just as VATS was about to end(after 15 seconds) it hit me again, felt like it gave me a [censored]-slap. :P

* Massive Legion assault on Forlorn Hope, when I entered there I was like "What the hell just happened? It's lagging like crazy and recruit legionnaires are running all over the place!! xD"

* Massive NCR assault on Nelson, they rolled down the hill, around 30 of them, me, I got me my holorifle+++ and Meltdown, hilarity ensured as I shot one and they all flew into the sky, after a couple of seconds a bunch of ashpiles started raining down. :P

I met Loyal outside the entrance to Black rock cave near Black Mountain and again inside Bootjack cavern at the Iriteba Peaks whilst doing the "Bleed Me Dry" quest, he ran off and disappeared.
