Hearin' all these tales of wierdness and what-the-fuckery's jogged a little favorite of mine from a ways back, from Elona:
I was doing seriously awesome - had a blessed machine gun with glass bullets, doing stupid damage (like 10d3 + 6d2 with a +25 to hit), and was lucky enough to have that mysterious douche in the first town die (the one with no name). So there I was, with my 2d18 sword, my +20 armor, and my machine gun, chewing up everything in the puppy dungeon like there's no tomorrow. Suddenly, I make a learning check and realize the sword I'm carrying is Ragnarok, and the words "Let's RAGNAROK!" show up on the screen, followed by every available square being filled with angry dragons.
What the fuck, game. What the fuck.
Although Elona in general is one gigantic left field in itself inbetween the orphen/monster crossbreeding and the suicide-bombing Hard Gays and the epic weapons made out of meat. Good times.
Did someone mention Indigo Prophecy yet? The LP thread convinced me to buy it and I just finished it. I'm not sure I've ever been this confused by a game before.
Seriously. Internet memes take physical form and fight a war against ancient Mayan priests? And the sides are named after colors? And on top of all that you turn into Neo halfway through the game? O_o
Im gonna post some of my faves later, but before I forget.
Seaman. Is. Awesome.
I beat it once, and actually re-purchased it (still had the mic, the disc cracked) a couple months ago to try and get my roomate to play. He quit after a bit (after playing EndWar you realize how far voice recognition has come), but I think I may boot it up again tonight and start over.
I loved saying "sony" to it. I also loved it's daily advice. I wonder if anything is programmed in to make reference to how long it's been since release.
Oh - and end...(game?) spoilers.
When he grows into a frogman at the end, he gives you a big speech about being awesome, and then the back of the tank drops out and it's a jungle, and he can walk around in it. Its got some depth so you can see him off in the distance sometimes when you turn it on. The best part though? Since there's no more glass to tap on to get his attention, the triggers on the controller are bongo drums, and you drum and he comes hopping up. Drum enough and he'll dance!
The best part of the game by far though is Lenoard Nemoy. Even though he's Spock and all, everytime I see or hear him I always think "Welcome to the laboratory of Dr. Jean Paul Gasse..."

It really is a testament to the game that the entire thing is pretty much out of the ball park in terms of how left-field it is, and yet despite the constant wackiness it still manages to surprise you every single time a new boss is introduced.
Here you are playing this game with cutesy characters and bright colors, and then you go up against this.
Yeah, Zero is the most bizarre Kirby villain. Here's a good example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYVlu7Lxs34 Skip to like 4 minutes in. And turn off the annotations.

It was unexpectedly awesome.
I wasn't surprised by the casino though.

The Miror B fight in Pokemon Colosseum (man I loved that game).
"Ok, I am currently fighting a guy with a giant, multi-coloured afro who uses dancing mexican ducks, all to a salsa beat. What."
And Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga has crazy moments before my copy went 'Fuck it, rocks fall, everyone dies' and the game wiped my save file. The last boss I fought was a barrel of cola that became sentient and had a sword and shield. Insane.

I find it kind of interesting how all three games I've fought/seen him in (Dream Land 2, Kirby 64 and now Dream Land 3) the gameplay is similiar every time in that it forgoes the usual style of gameplay for a more shoot-em-up style. Even with Zero or whatever his name is (I thought it was something else?) fighting different each time Kirby still fights the same. That is, you have to fly around in the air and shoot at him while avoiding his attacks.

That's because all Kirby games are exactly the same thing.
And I'm pretty sure that he's called Zero. In 64 he has the wings and is called 0².

Have you never played Kirby Superstar? One of the games in it contains a real shoot-em-up.

Oh, when you get jumped coming out of the underdark in BG2.
I remember this only because my game decided to bug the fuck out spectacularly and permanently make me hostile to every body and if I left the area they followed me.
And my save just before leaving the underdark didn't help, they stayed permanently hostile.
So I got jumped and then a game breaking b ug. My previous archive was way back just before going into the underdark.
I was pissed.

I'm shocked....shocked...that this thread went 6 pages without mentioning the ending of Chrono Trigger
or should I say endings
Especially the one where everyone is a reptile person
None of those really surprised me, though. I'm usually pretty good at predicting twists and such.
However, the revelation about the Precursors near the end of Jak 3 caught me completely. Probably because it completely flew in the face of everything they'd set up in the first two games.
I remember talking all colors of shit to some Dremora Lord in a bar in Morrowind, trying to provike an attack so that I could retaliate and steal the armor from his body. He was a polite, soft-spoken guy who seemed impervious to insult, quietly dismissing my cuts at him, until... out of nowhere and with no perceptible transition he said, "after I murder you, I am going to rape your corpse. But don't worry, I'll be gentle".
I imagine someone at Bethesda was pretty confident that no play-tester/screener would drill down that deeply. 0_0
I - I don't ever recall seeing this. Was this in a mod, or - what bar? I need to go experience this.
Okay, I played Morrowind for a month straight immediately after its release in 2002, and I haven’t touched it since. As such I played the original game, as released, and, to the best of my knowledge, un-patched. Certainly unmodded. That was more than seven years ago, and the only detail from that surprising encounter that I can truly swear by is the dialogue. Honestly, I don’t even remember if a Dremora Lord is really what you call those types of guys -- it’s just the first thing that came to mind. He had two dainty little horns on his forehead; I seem to remember him being clad in black and red. As I recall, in the building where I found him, after walking down one flight of stairs I saw him leaning against a wall to my right. The room was populated with several other lively NPCs, but he struck me as someone worth talking to.

The ending of the original Halo on Legendary is worth mentioning.
No one mentioned the most fucked up game of them all? True Crime: Streets of L.A?
Everything starts off normal, you're in LA, doing cop things busting perps. Then, three hours later you're fighting half-nekkid ninja ladies, an old chinese bearded man and a couple dragons. I don't think I slept that night. I returned the game the next day.
Hey, it's a game about running and parkour and finding the best routes to the finish line and evading the bad guys! Awesome!
Then at some point the game magically transforms into a third-rate FPS where huge mobs of armed soldiers are fully equipped to kick your weaponless ass. That really turned me off to finishing the game.

Slide kick their balls man, best weapon in the game.
Test of Faith may have been a pun on her name but it was definitely a test of fucking patience.

you predicted everyone were reptile people?
SPOILERS, dude. SPOILERS.
Spoilers for a game that is older than Miley Cyrus?
Well, they remade it for the DS less than a year ago, and I still haven't played it. My roommate played it for the first time when it came out for the DS.
That's not really that big of a spoiler, honestly. The alternate endings are only accessible after you've beaten the game once through normally, and they're kind of jokes anyway.

I went through the entire game on my first play through without firing a gun... that is, until the computer server room where I spazzed out trying to take out the machine gunner right after disarming another guy. Accidentally pulled the trigger to kick before I pressed Y to drop the gun and hit him with two bullets. :x
System Shock 2. Finally, uh, meeting Polito. I hadn't played the first one, either - I had no idea what the fuck was going on.
Middle of a sunny day, other people in the room, lights on, and STILL chilled me to the core. I caught myself physically backing away from the computer, arms up in a defensive stance.

And then there's Uncle Leo (Hello!) in Shivering Isles. Elves are fucking wierd in the Elder Scrolls.

Up until that point, you find yourself running across the top of a helicopter.
