How much info about a game do you gather before you jump in and play it? I've noticed there are varying degrees of preparedness. I like to try and read the entire manual before playing the game, but sometimes I'll jump in if the manual gets boring. I can never remember everything that is in the manual in the first place, so there is a limit to the benefits. Also, training missions these days do a lot of the manual's job for it, but they don't usually contain all of the info the manual does. Some people prefer to skip this part of the game, but I don't. What about you?
