Not sure how many of you read the front page, but I haven't been writing any news these days, even though I don't generally get holidays off anyway. That's because Anime Expo is happening right now in the heart of Los Angeles, and a couple of us have been sent deep inside to check shit out.

It's tiring, but we'll be reporting our coverage as a wrap-up article when the expo ends. So keep an eye out for that one, whether on our Twitter (@neoseeker), front page updates, or my blog.

Also, Activision sent another game to review, and you can guess which based on my blog title. Let's be honest, that game isn't exactly a major blockbuster hit, as far as the video game industry is concerned. So I'm probably gonna put it on the back burner until the expo stuff has passed.

I really liked the second movie though. So much robot action! Sean was super cool and found me a place online where I can re-watch all the episodes from the old cartoon! Did anyone else cry when Optimus died in the original animated movie? I did, like a little girl. Wait, I was a little girl back then.

Sephiroth's voice actor, Morikawa, told me that my Chinese name is pronounced "Unke" in Japanese. Nice to know.

Right, so that Anime Expo stuff isn't up yet, and I'm thinking of putting up the panel talk I've got anyway. Otherwise, I'm waiting for Vegi's contributions.

Note there is another review up. It's from Activision again -- Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. It's not exactly a winner, I'll tell you that much, but if you're interested in checking out the review for kicks, leaving some feedback, whatever, here it is: Neoseeker reviews Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I still need to bug H and crew about some ideas I had, even though there's a good chance they won't go through. I know Jamie already proposed some of them, but eh, I really haven't a clue, being in another country and all. Sometimes, I wish I did work in the office. Neoseeker needs to open a Los Angeles branch! Now accepting donations.

In other news, I won this GameStop / Activision sweepstakes that I don't remember entering. I do recall it was something Vegi encouraged me to participate in, so there's that. Either way, me and nine other winners will be going to Comic-Con and put up in a swanky hotel for a few days. We won't get to stay the entire duration, but it should still be quite an experience!

Oh, and holy Hell, Mass Effect 2! Actually, it's all old news to me, since I did get to attend E3 this year and check out BioWare's closed demos. But still! THAAAAANE!!! I want him in my Shepard's pants-bodysuit-armor-thing.


Video took just under 50 minutes to upload, thank you very much. But THAAAANE!! Man, screw exclusive vids and the sites that pay for them. Yeah, you heard me. A lot of these vids are timed exclusives, like video games, and then get an official release later. At that point, any media outlet can access and post the video.

Looking for something to play? I'm spending time with Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires.
