Sniper rifles are for short range gunfights when you select the wrong weapon.

Meh. I play games for the story and the visuals, and to me at least, excessive challenge in a video game prevents me from enjoying it. I can't enjoy the wonderful story if I can't get past that one boss, now, can I?
Video games are entertainment. You shouldn't need to become "the pro" at them to enjoy them or beat them. The hallmark of a good game is that anyone can pick it up and be good at it within 5 minutes of playing.
So we need to play games that are little more than interactive movies instead of actual games.

My lesson: If you reload after every kill, the enemy is right around the corner waiting to kill you. If you don't reload after every kill, you run out of ammo at the most inopportune times.

1. Go to FLGS on a 40K game night.
2. Announce to no one in particular "I have over 10,000 points of Space Marines".
3. Sit back and watch as some 30-ish Neckbeard who still lives with his parents not only disputes your claim, but goes on to describe his 30,000 points of Blood Angels and how he has been playing since Rogue Trader days... And yet you will have never seen him either play 40K or that army.
4. From here, you have several options. Continue the conversation, or just end it. Either way, I guarantee you will waste 1+ hour of your life talking to this guy. Have fun!

Episodic gaming does not mean frequent releases. In fact it means you will never ever get the next episode. It's a cliff hanger where you actually fall off.

Poor SiN  It is completely in accordance with the laws of physics for a person to start doing cartwheels upon death. Bodies will rarely explode into chunks when hit with a grenade or similar explosive device.

Knives also increase your running speed. This is a fact scientifically proven by the researchers at Valve.

Also throwing knives are much more deadly than bullets. One will be enough. Plus they kill immediately, silently and no matter where they hit.

If you throw a throwing knife at a wall, it will not loose any momentum, and may actually speed up. It will then ricochet one or two times before it either hits someone (blade first), or lands blade-down in the floor.

Throwing knives is easy, especially if you are intending to kill; hitting with the point is virtually guaranteed and it WILL stick to the hilt.

Cheating for random people for their own menial wishes, including screwing others over, is apparently very good.
Killing random people, spawning giant immortal hydras and magicking random organs out of thin air is fine. Totally.
