Because of this I'm of the idea that manuals should be like two pages long and describe only the bare bone essentials.
Ha, yes. I never look at manuals ever. The only times I have were when I was, say, riding home in a car and couldn't play it yet. I looked at the back of the package and in the manual, fueling myself for the game. Good memories, yes.
Metroid Prime: picked it up on the way to Thanksgiving last year, a yearly trip to Florida. I fawned over it for probably an hour, wanting to play it so badly. Got there eventually, and I beat most of the game that week (on an actually bright television, my one back at home is really dark. Thank goodness I've got a new one at college for Echoes), though I still had plenty of time to read, hang out with my family, do beach stuff, etc. Awesome week. Incredible.
Come to think of it, that was probably two years ago. I got the game shortly after release. My Nintendo timeline is really screwed up compared to the timeline of the rest of my life
