I think the Q&As should all be locked.
Honestly, they're harmless and just let us have a little fun. They don't harm anyone, nor are they offensive. So no, I disagree.
I think asakawa is right. It makes us look like a cliche. If anyone has questions for me, there is my email. If a mod reads this, please lock my Q&A thread. I will no longer be responding to the questions in it.

I'm not completely opposed to them I just disagreed that they ought to be promoted or compiled in a staff-approved/made sticky.
I think that when you are involved in threads every day with people then you do get curious about them and their life but such questions don't fit into most other threads (maybe the RB but posts/questions can get lost quickly here and there's no guarantee that it would be seen). I see there are positives to their existence and as long as they're friendly I wouldn't want to shut down that kind of interaction. I just don't think it's something that needs wider recognition, that's all.

Again, that's the junk mail inbox.

LOL! Just got my first Kenyan Heiress email!
I got one a while back, adapted to latinos of course, it was a member of the Royal Family of Spain wanting to get some asylum on venezuela "to escape the pressures of royal life"
pfffttttttt BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Sure, I can believe someone would actually wanna stop living in a f*bleep*king palace and live in the dirt over here. Yep, TOTALLY not a scam.
And then I got one that was just mean =( a scammer email offering a chance to get me and my family out of the country, and get legal residency and job in the US, if I made a discreet contribution to X bank account. It was of course a scam, but man, its mean to play with people's dreams like that. For a split second I actually thought it was real......... before my neurons said "hey
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT PAL
!"

So I bought Deus Ex today (8 bucks on Steam sale. If you don't mind being a half a year behind gaming is cheap as hell). I'm being all infiltrate-y, quiet take-downs, yada yada. Then I find some sneaky air vent and think 'ohhh this must be the pro way through.' I take it, get trapped by a lot of patrols I can't slip through, and end up fighting in the middle of the room full of guys. Whereas if I'd initiated a fight where I came in, I'd A) Be immune to being flanked and B) Be able to take one down and headshot another before they knew what was happening.
I haven't decided if it's supposed to be an infiltration game because, while the element of surprise is
hugely
important, avoiding fights outright seems at best pointless and at worst dangerous.

avoiding fights IS counterproductive Its best to take them down quietly one by one without them noticing you there.
and yes, the obvious path isn't always the best path.
As for if you want to play it as an action game, get a revolver, install the explosive rounds mod, slap as many damage+clip+upgrade mods to that revolver as you can, and you can give stealth the middle finger. That thing will pack such a punch that other than bosses you can pretty much 1shot anything.
For bosses and mechs just install the typhoon upgrade and voila, they can't kill you either.
I've completed the game, both as an infiltrator (taking enemies down either with trank rounds, or with non-lethal takedowns) and as a front-line trooper (always behind cover, only lean out to shoot 1 round of the revolver and BAM 1shot)
its not smart to use any other weapon other than the modded revolver for straight-up action, because even the assault rifle requires you to pump rounds on the enemy for several seconds, and even on the easiest difficulty your character is made of wet paper.
Deus Ex is a really challening game. But if you can get all the hacking upgrades you can even out the odds by putting turrets and mechs on your side.
heh, you should see what it was like to play the original Deus Ex on Realistic Difficulty back in the days.......

Because it's much cooler to get attention if no one else is getting it.
Snap.
Also, my friend is reading bedtime stories for me.
And by bedtime stories, I mean LoL fan-fiction..
