Serious answers, please. Really. Do you RTFM? Or is it a waste of paper on humanity?

More often than not, I do. Partially because I want to discover all the functionality of whatever it is that I've received, and partially because the manual is a great place to discover the common errors that get made in trying to use something.

For games, always. Same goes for hardware. Software, I don't so much read "the manual" as "the help files". Then again, most of my software didn't come with a manual.

All the time. Even for Graillick's DS that he bought last week and left here in Texas. I like reading manuals, I dont know why. In 11th grade english, my teacher suggested that I persue technical writing and be one of the guys that write those manuals. I've seriously considered it from time to time and If I go to college I think Itll be for technical writing.

I do, but usually only if I run into a snag. And if the manual doesnt answer my question I turn to the internet.

"Manual"... what is this "Manual" you speak of?

No seriously though, it depends on the product.

I'm always down with it, just in case there would be pretty pictures inside Nuts

I hate b&w stuff, but when I'm stuck with a chibi-bible, I still end up going through all of it before messing around with whatever I got... just in case I find pretty pictures ;p

If it requires assembly: Yes.
