I'll be sitting in irc keeping an eye on you eejits....
Truth be told ideally I'd have the thing downloaded in under 6 hours in which time I'd have read the manual and been spammed by my clanmates coming back into irc telling me how great NS is untill I feel the urge to destroy every single one of them...ahem...then i'll prolly play through the tut map and jump into an online server with as many EC peoples as I can find...
Wow I had no idea so many people would actually read the manual before playing a game they've been following for months! Well at least there'll be a lot of you so you can explain stuff to me when I jump straight into a game without reading a word.
No I wont read it during the download (I hate braggers too, but it should only take 5 minutes or less to d/l). Also, no I wont read it during install (No good reason here... I just wont.).
I will read it eventually, after I play it for about an hour straight. Or if I'm stuck at school, in between classes, AND not at the bar, then maybe I'll check out the manual in the computer lab.
