I was thinking about this the other day when I remembered how in Condemned: Criminal Origins I somehow got to the final boss with a weapon, died and it got stuck in the floor. This also prevented me from being able to pick up any weapons so what do I do? Rather than restart (since it auto saved right after the glitch, and I had no intention to try and go back through the last level; no going back) I decide to do the only reasonable thing and kick the boss to death. Over the course of numerous trial and error runs I finally succeeded in kicking his ass (quite literally).

I'm sure there are tons of them out there but what glitches have you all overcome and actually completed a game while dealing with them rather than either finding a way to go around them or just giving up entirely?
