Heh, yeah, again, that would be me. I have no wireless Internet access. At my apartment at school, though, my Wii is only a few feet from the computer, so it's pretty easy to get there. The communal PS2 is a bit farther away, though. And at my parents' house, the computer is on the opposite side of the house. I also have the SF64 guide. It does give a lot of details on characters and plot that weren't in the game.

Oh, and I just thought of another purpose they served. Especially when I was younger, say in middle school or high school, I'd usually take a game guide with me to pass the time when the class got boring, or we had some free time. Since they are walkthroughs, it is something like reliving the game in narrative form, especially in games that are more story-based, again, like RPGs. I remember I used to take my Super Mario RPG strategy guide with me everywhere when I was in 5th grade. I even took it to water parks for some inane reason. I'm amazed it hasn't disintegrated.
