No, I don't even have Show PvP Effects turned on in the Details (in the Management/Respec screen). The only buff listed in the Details in-game is resistance to all damage on self. Were it properly displayed, then, it should have two buffs listed - one specifically for smashing and one for lethal.

Alas, that will teach me to trust the Details.

I'd say it beats the hell out of the horrible 90s X-Men and Spider-man intros.

I love the theme song myself. Reminds me a bit of Masterplan. And the show has been pretty good so far despite mediocre art with an often terrible sense of perspective.

And even if it does, that's the way it was always going to have happened anyway so it really didn't.

Indeed. On my digital guide it appeared to be 10-15 minutes over the hour slot. I didn't pay attention to the exact time, however.

This statement is always true. Any time you have a Hickman, it's the wrong one; best to avoid having one altogether.

Anyone with half a brain knows that "different" and "better" aren't the same thing, and anyone who's literate can see which of the two I was making a point about.

Limitless Radial Freem.

I picked him up back when AVs would per force show up in certain missions regardless of whether you were solo or not. He was suggested as the magic bullet to allow me to defeat Silver Mantis, as I recall, and he did not prove so useful. I kept him on that character from that point up to level 50 and got rid of him after finding no situation where he was particularly useful, and certainly no situations where his usefulness outweighed his appearance.

That was some time ago. Indeed, all this talk about him fighting after you die is a bit bewildering to me as my experience with pets is that they fall down/unsummon when you get defeated.

Could be expecting to be soloing x8 CoT missions and inevitably coming up against spawns entirely composed of those dagnabbed ghosts of theirs.

Or doing what I was doing the other day for the heck of it: running around PI fighting +7/+8 Bosses. Unfortunately, I'm not set up with super-accuracy, so despite having Rage active I had to set up a steady IV drip of Yellow Insps in order to slowly whittle away their HPs.

I heard they're releasing a High Def 8 Track version. It's going to be really trippy when it fades out in the middle in 3D.

Always better for you, perhaps. If a movie or book is truly good, in my experience the whole will hold up just as well if you learn about bits of it piecemeal or not. If that were untrue, then re-watching/reading a book/movie later would always be an unpleasant experience given that you'd already experienced the whole of it. Then again, maybe that's true for you: maybe you have to have shiny new surprise at all times to find enjoyment in something; for my part, it's rare that I'm surprised by character/plot payouts anyway.

Like a good taco, it doesn't matter that I'm well acquainted with the individual ingredients and flavours, I enjoy the process of chewing and tasting. A good story is happily digested in the same way.

I'll just let you argue with yourself for a moment, shall I?

Yes, it can conceivably work both ways. Hence my reply that you quoted which was itself in response to a statement very similar to your own. Congratulations on completing a circle which had already been completed.

The way you're wanting it kept is the game changer, I just want the difficulty brought back down to the status quo.
