I only use walkthroughs when I'm stuck in a level for 3 hours searching for way to get pass it. I also use walkthroughs when I'm playing a RPG for all the items and equipments list.

Really depends on what type of game, and how stuck I get. Sometimes in certain RPG's I tend to find a walkthrough, use it to get past that hard spot I get stuck at, then put it away and keep going on my own. Sometimes I must admit though, I enjoy knowing where everything is and continue to use the walkthrough for the rest of the game.

I rarely stuck in any games and just use walkthrough when there are Braille (Pokemon R/S/E).I also use walkthrough when I want to know more information about point, how many things on a place, etcI use cheat on every game I played, after feeling bore to level up pokemon

First, I usually try to solve my problem on my own. If it doesen't work, I try to find a useable walkthrough. If I can't, I uses cheats :).But if cheats don't work, I don't play with that game for a long time. After that, somehow I can find the door.

I'll use a walkthrough if I am really stuck, but I try to stay away from them as much as possible, I like to complete a game on my own before goig to a walkthrough.

I allow myself a certain amount of time to try to figure it out for myself. Then, when I feel my ADD kicking in, I make that God forsaken walk down the stairs to the computer room and look up an online walkthrough.
