What is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know

[Cu-Neo]

The tittle says everything. Here mine.

In The elder scrolls 4 oblivion if you give a piece of bread to Salmo the baker
(this guy)

he goes to the inn and crashes the game because I think he wasn't programmed to have bread in his inventory because he is a baker

 

[DunkeyKong]

Well that was interesting, that just makes it more important to know
Mine is from Super Mario Bros games, you won't get bigger with mushrooms after you already took it (except mega one)

Really cool fact! Speaking of the mario sprite. I always found funny that in the Sharp X1 port of Mario 1 the game freezes a lot triying to load the animation when mario gets bigger ?

Good question.

^ above is a boss item you get in momodora reverie under the moonlight.
What are boss items? They’re OP items you get if you beat a boss no damage. They’re basically your reward for mastering or perfecting the game. I get them on each playthrough. They’re fun to mess with. This one essentially completely breaks the game. Just rains stuff on enemies. There’s no item with quite the same scale so it’s unique and can really mess your brain once you get it cuz nothing is like it.

Now momodora is a game where every pixel counts, every centimeter matters, no space is wasted and everything is carefully thought out.
howver if you use the item in this one extremely specify area, like no other room in the entire game (and believe me, I tried)

It crashes the game.
I thought that was hilarious.

I still need to play those games. I have them on steam but I only have played a little of 3. But now because of this fact I want to play them more ?

You can shoot through walls in Mega Man & Bass if the wall is thin enough.

It's a useless knowledge because there's only one place in the entire game where you can pull it off.

That hidden "mechanic" found in one only place it's like when in X5 they give you the Black armor and the ultimate armor but in the last level and you can only use it there unless you use the cheats. Altough Bass could have defeated Mega Man a long time ago if he could do that everywere ?

There is a Diablo 2 easter egg in the original Final Fantasy 7
in the final dungeon you get an item called a Save Crystal that you can only use once anywhere in the caves to create a save point and save the game.
If you do it in the right area your location will display as "Secret Cow Level" a reference to Diablo 2

May as well share another one I like.
Black armor zero is meant as zero’s answer for X constantly getting his own armor.
The armor debuted in X4, via a complicated cheat code.
The armor does make zero stronger. Especially in X5.
In x4 though? It’s just a color change.
Amazing armor.

thats incredible.

BTW, to my knowledge I'm the first person to discover that.

Forget the freeze lol, that thing is on fire trying to run Super Mario Bros

To think that probably in an alternative universe we got this instead of the black armor

It's supposed to show some conection not revealed at that time between zero and Dr Wahwee

One last useless fact on my part. In that Sharp X1 mario 1 port that is on fire, in some blocks you can find the Sunsoft mascot that Bee you always see on their logo. It's a useless fact because it does nothing when you touch it

A company logo mascot appearing in a game? Why, that’s just like my favorite obscure game, Sega Fighters Megamix! Where if you play for 84 hours, you unlock the Palm Tree in the Sega AM2 logo.

It's a Diablo 1 reference. The rumours on how to access the Secret Cow Level were pretty wild - anything from clicking the cows in Tristram a specific number of times, messing with Adria's cauldron, glitching through a town portal to using Map of the Stars (a scrapped item and remnant of a time Blizzard thought putting a time limit on beating Diablo was a good idea, it's only obtainable if you hack it into the game via a character editor). Blizzard themselves referenced the rumours in Starcraft before deciding to run with it making the level real in Diablo 2. Diablo 2 came out in 2000 so it would've been impossible for FF7 to reference it.

My slightly off-topic addition to the thread (NSFW): N-word owns two porn movies starring Ron Jeremy. They're called Super Hornio Brothers 1 & 2.

I guess that in the movie you mentioned. The protagonist has his last name the same as his name just like the main inspiration "Mario Mario and Luigi Mario" ?

You can power up forever in Threads Of Fate (as long as you have the cash). There's no level cap.

I would kill for a release of that game. At least one can play it on the vita that's why it's a great console.

On the Service Name and Transport Protocol Port Number Registry, port 666 is reserved for Doom.

In shining force 1, in the first town if you wait until an NPC walks between the guards who block you from leaving when you get close, you can leave town without recruiting the initial party members and start playing solo. Wow!!
