I really like hearing about funny bugs in games. (I'm looking at you, Bethesda.)

Okay, so I was in a high-speed car chase in L.A. Noire, and if you haven't played it, I'll explain a little something. You're working for the police dept., so you're chasing down a criminal, and your partner can shoot out their tires if you align yourself correctly. In one of these, this weird glitch happened where the criminal's car hit a truck and flipped upside-down, and my partner, Rusty, was still yelling at me "get right behind them so I can shoot out their back tires!" And I lost it. So their car was crashed. Not moving anymore. The chase should have stopped, but I guess my man really wanted to shoot out some tires and feel like he was being useful… Luckily I didn't have to restart. I just had to move at the right angle behind this stopped car and let him burst the tire so I could get out and make an arrest.

Playing Spyro Year Of the Dragon for PSX but it’s on the PS3:
Me: I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH! is stuck in the second world because I suck and enters favorite level I’M GOING SKATEBOARDING MOTHER TRUCKERS!
Spyro: glitches through ground and dies, repeatedly dies, gets a game over
Me: welp. forgot to save before so it sends Spyro back to the beginning of the game with all of the progress deleted. what NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

For some reason, the Nintendo Switch suffers through infrequent crashes that close the game (it does it more with Indie games, I've noticed), and so I could press the "Start Battle" button in Hyrule Warriors and it would close out immediately. Fortunately, those crashes have happened three times at most, and the game autosaves very frequently.

Hm… I recommend trying to update your switch, or the game, it might just be a bug in the game, my uncle has that game and has the same issue, but only in Hyrule Warriors, he fixed it with an update, and now it’s fine.

Huh… mine used to crash a lot with most of my games (L.A. Noire, Skyrim, sometimes Stardew Valley). Now it doesn't so much. I wonder if it was because of updates.

Usually Nintendo is that one company to try their very best to improve their consoles so people will actually buy them, it’s selling so well because it doesn’t have the over heating crash crazy issues that the PS4(and pro) has, or the laggy frame rate dipping crashing problems that the Xbox one has. I mean, they are one of those company’s that listen to fans, but not all the time… they might be strict, but they put lots of effort into their consoles and games, look at the SNES classic for example, a collection of SNES beloved games, it’s stylised, has many games that people actually want and love. They have many options to fit experiences, a great soundtrack in the selection screen, as long as changeable options for gameplay. Now compare it to the PSX classic, a stupid piece of cardboard that I never want. Sure, it has some good games like Final Fantasy IIV, but that’s all it has going for it really… it doesn’t have the two mascots who REALLY boosted Sony’s console reputation, aka Crash and Spyro, none of those games are their, not the first ones (by the way both Spyro and Crash are one of the best selling series’ on the console, look it up if you don’t believe me.), not the sequels, or the best ones, the third game in the trilogy. How can you make a classic edition to something and not have one of the main mascots, it’s like Nintendo releasing a console and not making any type of Legend of Zelda game, Mario game, Kirby game, or for handhelds, Pokèmon. I know that they got the remastered treatment, but who cares! You can’t just ignore a great selling series! Not to mention the console itself is horrible. Regions cannot be changed so you can’t play the much faster PAL version, then you can’t change any settings, the number of save slots that the console has is 1, while the SNES classic has 3. Now I realized I just geeked my mouth off oof.
