Where's your favorite place to read game instruction manuals

[jlarlee]

When I first get a game I only look at the manual to learn the controls. But I take great joy in reading the instruction manual on the can when I get a chance

[mousin]

when im taking a dump. honestly !! =D so if you ever buy a game from me complete.. watch out !! jk. =]

[Mospeada_21]

oh dude, i'm destroying all my used games as we speak.....

[Pylis]

I read them while taking a dump too! I was hoping to be the one who could post something disturbing and/or edgy, but you guys beat me to it. Damn.

[snotnose_colossal]

'll bet 99% of people read them in the shitter or on the way home from the store

[zionoverfire]

People actually read those things? I just boot up the game and learn on the fly, its a lot more fun and less reading that way.

[punqsux]

wow.....i may never touch another pre owned manual ever....

[DigitalSpace]

Sometimes I'll read one on the bus on my way home from wherever I got the game. Other than that, I don't really read the instruction manuals unless I need to look up something.

[BlueWingX]

If I'm in a lull between books, I'll sometimes take a stack of them to read before I go to bed. Oddly, that seems weirder than people reading them on the can...

[Zmonkay]

hey man, the shitter's the only time I get a chance to get some good reading in

[maxflight]

I try to never touch the manual because I prefer having games in the exact same condition that it came in.

while pooping

[Santurio]

I read them with the midget who lives under my house in the tunnels he's made under all my neighbors houses!!!

[Grave_Addiction]

Count me in as a manual shit reader too.

This reminds me of another similar topic that I think was posted on GameFAQs. It had a classic reply:

"I read them whilst taking my poo."

[The Gifuto]

I usually only glance at them after I've played the game awhile. No shitter reading for the manuals, that would cut into my time for the morning sports section.

taking a dump

[Backlash]

In the libary (aka the bathroom).

I like to read the manuals after I've played the game a little while. You often learn some trick or control that you didn't know you could do just from playing the game.

[sying]

When im getting pwned by the game becuse i didn't read the directions.

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

never read the manuals.......

[Rig]

I usually don't read them. I don't want to bend/tear any of the pages.

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

rig who is that in your sig?zelda?

[madmage]

Since I go to UW-Madison, it is almost impossible to have a car unless you live off campus or want to pay $150 a month to park, so I have to take the bus to the mall or get a ride from one of my friends that has a car. So I usually read them on the bus ride home since it's a 45 minute ride.

[AlbinoNinja]

shitter, when im watching tv, or on the ride home from the place where i got the game (although for the record thats more to whet my appetite than learn about the game)

i cant believe you guys are saying you dont read the manual. What if there's something totally awesome you can do in the game, but u never learn cuz u dont read the manual?

[sblymnlcrymnl]

never read the manuals.......

Me neither, unless I just can't figure out what the controls are.

Example, I was just playing Twin Snakes today, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to switch to first person. Turns out I had just forgotten that the gamecube has a Z button, only thing I hadn't tried.

Turns out I had just forgotten that the gamecube has a Z button, only thing I hadn't tried.I didn't play that game very much since I didn't have the manual to look up the controls and learn about the story. I just traded it back in for the same price that I bought it for at another store. :)

Tonight, I brought 7 manuals to read while I was in the car on the way to some place. I wanted to learn more about the games, so I brought them along. The games were Fable, ESPN 2K5 NFL and NHL, Riddick, Ninja Gaiden, Guilty Gear X2, and Burnout 3 for anyone who wanted to know.

The crapper is the only way to go. Gotta read something to pass the time. :D
