The IKEA Walkthru

Excerpt: "Here you will find the shelves containing your DBE components. In this mini-puzzle, you must fit all of your merchandise onto the cart so nothing falls off as you proceed to CHECKOUT. It's like Tetris, minus the catchy Russian music and the fun. DON'T SPEND MORE THAN THREE OR FOUR HOURS WORKING ON THIS!"

Finally! A FAQ for shopping.

"IKEA is a fully immersive, 3D environmental adventure that allows you to role-play the character of someone who gives a shit about home furnishings."

Finally! Shopping in a language I can understand!

Fascinating, to see the language of the walkthrough used as a form of satire. It points to the potential for voice in walkthroughs, foreshadowed by the likes of the Evil Summoner FAQ, linked from here.

They needed a special section about the complications involved in controlling your other playable companions (aka the 7 year old boy you are babysitting who is the only possible character who hates IKEA more than you).

"As you enter the SHOWROOM, perform a rolling dodge to the left."

This should just be common sense by now, people. I can't tell you how many times that maneuver has saved my life.
