"Save often, you never know when you might walk into a Dragon's nest." - Paraphrased from Dragon Age. The hint was quite useful seeing as I was in the Dalish Ruins and about to walk into the ... wait for it ... Dragon's Nest!!!

From Battlefield 2142...

''No matter what other players tell you, Alt+F4 will not unlock all the weapons for you.''
What does Alt+F4 do?

Anyways, there was one from Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts that said
"Uncle Walrus says: notes on the loading menu are often quite useful. Except for this one. Sorry about that."
Alt+F4 is close the application or window that you are using. Open notepad and press Alt+F4 and it will close.

OT - I quite liked the Forza 3 loading screen facts. Not the tips so much, but the facts like only 7 out of 50 cars finished 24 hours in Le Mans in 1967 (I think) were genuinely quite interesting.

Of course the Wii has its own range of loading screen advice. The best one is 'Why not take a break?'... Um... ok?
Haha. Me: "Wait, you don't want me playing these games?" Game: "Don't look at me, I'm not ready yet, come back later."
I actually do see useful ones occasionally. Borderlands told me that acid weapons are very effective against armoured weapons like skags. Now I just have to find a good acid weapon... They're extremely difficult to find.

A little off topic, but I seem to recall a game in the PS1 era (not necessarily for that system) wherein you could play PONG during the loading screen.
For the life of me can't remember what game it was, anyone know?

OT: All the stupid Ultimate Alliance "tips" used to bother me. "Press X to attack". No shit.

Most Helpful:
Fallout 3, no question. Holding Tab turns on the Pip-Boy light, which is a godsend considering how dark that game sometimes is. Holstering your weapon makes you run faster. However I don't think it says that unequipping heavy apparel makes you run faster as well.

Funniest:
Vampire Rain.

borderlands: "hiding under cover for a while will restore your shield and health." Hmmm, does this work in reality?

You were killed by an exploding car. Cars on fire are likely to explode.

'Save often.

Because this game crashes a lot

The plains of Oblivion are a dangerous place.'
You could not have hit the mark any more spot-on! You have no idea how much time I wasted regrinding skill points because the game crashed on me.

Back when Halo 3 was barely released and I went on Live, the tips you can read before a match starts said that firing a charged Plasma Pistol shot at a vehicle will produce a surprise.

So I tried it out with a friend on a custom game, and holy shit I was surprised.
Yeah, Oblivion was my first Bethesda game... I learned the hard way to save every few minutes.

This also lead me to discover I could exploit the random loot system and get the sigil stones I wanted.
