Canadian gamers, what do you do with your extra manual?

It's mostly Capcom that does this but some games have a french instruction manual shrink rapped to case. my question is what do you use the extra manual for? i currently use them as drink coasters but i'm interested in other possible uses.

For a while I kept them in a pile on the end of a shelf on my desk. Once I had about 15 amassed, I sent them to my friend in Quebec and he proceeded to put them directly in the trash.

Throw it out. Don't need any of that French crap in my house.

I usually put them in the case if they fit or I throw them out.

Throw them out.

Burn them in the fire to sustain me through these icy northern nights.

...wait, what the fuck, I'm not Canadian?

Anyway, as I'm American I generally get instructions in at least English and Spanish. In things other than video games, you might get a full instruction book in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Mandarin, Afrikaans, and any other number of languages. It gets quite insane sometimes.

just leave them in the box or stash them in a drawer somewhere around here....

If it fits inside the case, I put it there (it also makes it heavier, I kinda like that). Otherwise I just throw it away.

But I think nowadays, there's only one manual with english/french/spanish all-in-one. Most manuals are so thin now anyway.

Edit: I'm French Canadian by the way, just for information. I keep the english manuals.

ok so most people throw them out. as for putting them in the case most of the time they just don't fit which is partly why i think it's just shrink rapped to the case. the thought just struck me; what if they were used to make say... diorama's? time to break out the scissors, glue sticks and sparkles.

Chuck it in the chucking bin.

@Strife777: yeah most of the time it's a all in one job but i noticed capcom likes to make 2, i mean right beside me i have SSF4, Dead Rising 2, Dark Void, DMC4 and SSF4 3d. the french one is usually the one on the outside of the case which is why it gets tossed aside, but honestly the only time i take the manual out these days is to get the day one DLC codes on the card behind it.

I just have a fucking stack somewhere in my room. It's totally crazy.

It seems to be all packaged games. I just throw that shit out. Just because I took french immersion and can speak the language really well doesn't mean I WANT TO.

Put them next to my game cases.

Je mange ça.

Bury them between the couch cushions

Get mildly inconvenienced and annoyed, then chuck that frog shit.

Is that what failure tastes like?

The cool part about the French manual is that it's usually way bigger, because it's made to fit on the outside of the case instead of being tucked into the inside. So you get this French manual that's usually like 25% bigger.

I secretly believe that the french manual is rare and if I keep it with the game I will be able to sell it for extra money fifty years down the road.  :D

i'm not candian but i didn't know they came with two.

one manual that i got it had like 3 different languages in it. i don't remember what game it was but it was thinker than others.

I whip them as ammunition at roommates or cats. Then they go in the garbage. What a dumb law and a waste of resources.

It used to infuriate me to no end when the french manual was shrink wrapped around the shrink wrapped package for the game I had just bought. THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED! But ya, totes throw them out.

Toss the french crap.

Use them to roll some dope fatties! AOOOOOOO!

I throw it in the trash *shrugs*

Throw them out.

I do that as well. I used to import games from Canada .... I assume they went broke as the site disappeared ....... and the y came a lot with an extra manual, I assume to omply with Canadian law. I enjoyed trying to translate them - French is an awesome language.

Keep them in the case usually
