How do you get help with video games?

[CM30]

Out of all the ways online and in the real world you can help with video games you're stuck on, which do you rely?

If I have a strategy guide for the game in question I'll use that, since it's quicker and easier than finding help online. However, I don't go out and buy strategy guides...ever. Rather, people gift them to me. When I'm stuck and without a guide, I type in the name of the game followed by FAQ. Takes me to GameFAQs every time, and I've yet to be disappointed by answers there.

I watch Youtube walkthroughs since it's easier for me to see what to do than to read it.

I stop playing and try it again another time. Somethimes even years later. No joke.

I use YouTube guides to help me since I may not understand how to do something in the game.

youtube or written guides. social networks i dont use, and are unreliable, forums take forever to get a reply on.

• If I was seriously stuck I'd read on it. I don't rely on Youtube because most of the time people are talking in the videos.

I consult a video game Frequently Asked Question (FAQ? That makes NO sense! Why do they even call them that?) walkthrough.

I pretty much search on Google and hope I get results. I like text walkthroughs better, but I'll settle on video walkthroughs when the text isn't specific enough.
