What is the funniest/wierdest lag that has ever accured to you?
Mine is from back when we were playing Fifa 2000 and I had Zinedine Zidane on my team. He was famous enough that the commentator would occasionally say "ZIDANE" when he got the ball. Now the lag occured just when the commentator said ZIDANE, but due to the lag, it came out as:
"ZIDANE-DAN-DAN-DAN-DAN-DAN!" It was truly hilarious
I don't really know if this is what I am supposed to be posting, oh well then here goes; Once in Morrowind my head got stuck in a lantern in Vivec and I couldn't get it out, it looked really wierd seeing the inside of a lantern with a head in it
Ok, I have played numerous MMOs over the year but one of the absolute funniest thing I think I've seen in any lag situation was in Final Fantasy XI. There was a period of time, levels 35-50, that if you died and were raised you may be stuck with no animation to your arms.
It was so hilarious to watch people run around with their arms at their side, almost as if they were paralysed from the waist up. I dont think I have a screenshot any longer but if I do I'll post it.

C: "Have you seen The Preacher?"
R: "I have seen a sandworm."
C: "What about that sandworm?"
R: "It give us the air we breathe."
C: "Then why do we destroy its land?"
R: "Because Shai-Hulud [sandworm deified] orders it."

I have no idea what the game was called, it was sort of a WW1 shooter but strange, it lagged like crazy. Strangest lag was driving around in a tank on top of a cliff with no one in view then suddenly being parked on top of a zepplin that was flying around. Weird

I think that may well be it, did it have gyrocopters and motorbikes with side cars and biplanes?

In Daikatana are a few. A shark would start following me and get locked in some tight spot and keep biting the stone/ground/ceiling. Also, some of the monsters, while caged or inactive would keep running toward each other, because the AI was just really bad, and the sidekicks you had (wich were supposed to follow you and help you, not kill you as they did) would keep stuck in walls, or sometimes keep repeating the same shout over and over...
When I played quake 3 for the first time my video card was out of date, so I had several problems, wich included only heads/weapons running around with no body! or body without head... twas strange, more annoying than fun.
A lot of those things are just problems with the game, isn't lag when the game slows down, or the internet connection slows up a multiplayer connection?
I've played Halo 2 on Xbox Live at a friends house after a night of drinking before and gotten some horrible lag with the connection. I'm fine playing with my friends, but they play daily and I play like once a month so I'm not all that good to play online against people. Well, we were killing everyone on the other team and suddenly everyone on our team started lagging with the connects. The two other players from somewhere else as well. They just bailed on my friend and I and we continued crushing everyone shooting blindly since there was close to a 5 second delay with the connection. The other team was horribly pissed they got beat with 2-1 odds in their favor with my team lagging that bad. It was great.
Diablo 2 was a problem for me in my old appartment. The place was a college off-campus dorm and split a cable connection for each building of 8 appartments. Well, sometimes you'd have a great connection when everyone was asleep, and sometimes you'd end up with something worse than dial-up which was horrible for playing online. That same friend of mine was playing and in the 1.10 patch ladder games they had those world event Uber-Diablo's spawn randomly. He ended up doing a great job with attacking him and surviving when everyone else was dying and then the lag kicked in just before he got killed and watched as someone else strutted over and took the loot. His character sort of just took steps and stared into space with the lag screwing with everything. My buddy got more frustrated than I'd ever seen him with a game.
