I didn't even know you could do that and I've had this game for years.

Fallout 3,reverse pickpocketing a 'nade or mine into a humanoid's pocket=instagib.
Wish I knew that a year ago when I tried to Deathclaw Gauntlet kill a Feral Reaver (the ungodly strong ones that can 5-hit you...In T51-B mint condition)

I literally smacked my face with my hand for not knowing that. >_>
What the hell pokemon!!! That makes no sense!
It's not all rock/paper/scissors ;D

I suppose it would make sense for something like Earthquake to damage rock.

REALLY! I've played pokemon all my life and I didn't know that... wow.

OT: You can press LB on Elder Scrolls Oblivion to lift objects and move them around, played the game for about 3 years before finding that one out.

Yeah, the situation doesn't really come up very often, so I was unaware.

I played through almost half of Final Fantasy 3 (DS), and had to restart the game like 4 times, before I figured out how to save. It also took until my second play-through to figure out how to use magical effects on items.

I found out I had Space Jump.

Cookie for the reference.

OT: I think I was once instructed on how to change gears in a racing game, after a few days. It was so embarrasing.
You have Space Jump you idiot. Use Space jump...
Morgan got quite mad about that.

O.T. Took me a while to work out how to use a lot of the special attacks in Double Dragon 5 on the SNES.

I was stuck on a CoDMod2 singleplayer scene for weeks and weeks because I hadn't realised you could change weapon in single player. Srsly =/

After about 40 hours of Fallout 3 playtime, a friend told me to turn on my light. My response was "what light?"
Scavving in the dark is tricky.

Also, didn't know about the cows - I have to try that.

I don't sound very good at Fallout 3, do I?
This only opposite. Only I was the friend. My friend owned Fallout for about 2 years now and I decided to play it at his house. I walked into a really dark room and turned my light on and he was "how the hell did you do that?" I replied "Hold down B" and told him I discovered it on accident trying to put my gun away as I have never read FO3's manual. He was mad for about 2 hours because he beat the game without a flashlight and was a feature he hated about the game.

I can't think of any off hand but I know I have a few. A friend of mine just experiments with weird crap in games and he has pointed out some stuff to me over the years in games I had been playing for a long time.

Also, the pip-boy light thing was told to me by a loading screen literally after my third playthrough. Before then, I just thought the game developers just didn't want us to go into the darker areas so I completely avoided them :3

[HEADING=2]In Zelda ocarina of time, doing the Royal Family Song next to a cow will make it give you healthy milk!, but you need an empty bottle [/HEADING]

Fucking serious!

You only just figured that out? You can milk cows by playing Epona's song too.

I only noticed that recently too! To think, I used to get so annoyed at having to constantly tap X to drink. But then, as I was in Vault 87, I thought to myself; "hmm, you know what they should let you do in New Vegas? They should let you hold down the drink the button to continuosly drink... Actually... *gobsmacked*

In Dark Cloud which I played and just finished recently for the millionth time (it's just one of those games I can play over and over and never get bored with it, I <3 it.) Through my whole playthrough of it this time, I used what is called "The Broken Dagger Glitch" which I have never heard of till just a few days ago when I started playing again. What to do to do the actual glitch:

Go through Dran's Cave till you get old Gaffer and his buggy, the shop NPC, then the other person required to put up his shop sign, if you don't have this required person, Gaffer will put up the sign and hurt himself, making the glitch impossible. If you do it right here's step one. You have to equip your first weapon for Toan, the obvious default Dagger, then exit and go into gaffer's shop, go to the bottom of your attributes list, the materials for upgrading weapons. Go to the ice attribute in gaffer's shop then press the right button on the d-pad and the x button at the same time, or one right after the other very fast. If you do it right you'll get a broken dagger for free with no description. Exit the shop and repeat from step one as much as you want, the daggers will max out all of your weapons stats, it's like gameshark, without the codes. Of course, this is quite unstable, but I only had my game freeze once, it's just fine.

This friggin surprised me the first time I heard of it, my thoughts were, "who the hell figured this out?! How would you find out about this method if it wasn't an accident?" But, boy was I happy to hear about it, now I can cheat and have even more fun without a gameshark. Just to tell you all I have beaten this game multiple times completely legit, let me have fun breaking my game in peace!

Thats the one, I knew I had it wrong.

Just about everyone I know that played the game didn't know that, also the song you make up for the Scarecrow near the water temple becomes the ending credits song!

YAY, Zelda is truly a magical experience.

In FFXII my brother never bothered to assign Espers to anyone and always wondered why his guys had such low MP.

In Super Metroid, discovering the Grappling Hook trick to Draygon.

My best friend was a little shocked to learn you could get Shadow to join up with your group the first time you visited Zozo in FFVI so long as you only take three or fewer members with you. Give him 3k gold for dog food and he joins up in Kohlingen.
