Mass Effect 3 Teaser

Being the Mass Effect fan that I am, I thought I might share the teaser released for the final installment of the trilogy:





This trailer was shown along with the teasers for Mortal Kombat, Uncharted 3, Batman: Arkham City, Oblivion: Skyrim and other various goodies and previews at the Spike Video Game Awards.

It looks like 2011 was going to be a great year for video games.

All the best,

Every Anime Opening Ever

Melvin has once again sent me an awesome video he found here.
The following video is a collection of anime openings showcasing the repeated use of the same imagery.





Watching this video really does make one realize how many anime openings use the same images. It's quite hilarious actually. It's also fun so see how many anime openings you can identify through the short opening clips. Have fun.

All the best,

Jess

University of Toronto Anime and Manga Association

Since some people showed an interest in knowing more about university manga clubs, I thought I'd give you guys the link to the U of T club I am a member of: UTAMA.

This club is a great place to meet people and make friends. I've met some of my best friends through this club. They have monthly meetings, and a variety of group outings and events throughout the year. The forums are also a great place to interact. Even if you don't plan on going to U of T, I'd check out/join the forums if you want a good place to interact with fans and discuss a variety of topics (there's more then just manga and anime out there too).

All the best,

Jess
