Happy be-lated Birthday, Ross! My submission falls under, "I'm breaking the game and scaring the devs". The game is, Marvel Heroes 2015, an MMORPG based on the Marvel comics. The "breaking" happens within the zone called, SHIELD solo-sim. You just fight wave after wave, gaining gear, unlocking achievements, and proving you're a badass. However, it's programed to randomly insert sims you can't win. Basically, teaching the player you can't always win and dishing out a harsh sense of reality. Built similar to the fabled sim in Star Trek, like Kirk, you need to "think around" the program. Knowing your abilities/powers, or through sheer dumb luck, you can push through the impossible sims and win. No big deal, right? Now, keeping pushing through and winning and watch the game lose its mind! Mobs start to freeze so they're easier to kill, chests release fountains of gear, the dialogue appears scrambled, etc. I was able to push the sim until the game crashed! Supposedly, the devs know about this but nothing has been done. I doubt that they do, or this would have been patched out long ago. For now, I'm happily collecting the best gear in the game until it crashes ;D

Thunderscape, was one of the last games from SSI. Released in 1995, Thunderscape was supposed to be the PC adaptation of the "pencil & paper" RPG by the same name. However, the developers were overcome by the complexity of this task and axed 80% of the content shortly before launch. Leading to one hell of a crapfest. To name a few : 1. Buggy saved games which killed your party when you loaded them. 2. A black screen where the sky should be. 3. Quests which lacked the steps to complete them. That aside. It was one of many PC games I enjoyed playing. 1. Options that allowed you to customize your fights. 2. A soundtrack that not only provided ambiance, but would change due to an upcoming occurrence. 3. Obtainable characters you felt sympathetic towards. You felt their desperation for redemption, avenging their now dead city, or just their single-minded thought to push back the endless tide of Nocturnals. The source I'm submitting is the FB page of the actual creators of the soundtrack, Dial 911 Productions. They are original, and sound exactly as they do in the game. There are other soundtracks from various SSI titles, etc. My favorite track is, Thunderscape OST Combat 6. So throw up the windows, and crank the volume as high as it goes! It's time to piss off the neighbours, ladies and gentlemen! https://www.facebook.com/dial911productions/app/2405167945/
