Issue #4 has arrived! Thank you to staff for for making this issue great. And, thank you to our readers for you continued interest in Exposed.

There's also reviews of the anime Zombie Loan, the manga Vampire Knight, the Futurama Movie, the new AMD Quad Processor, the FLCL Soundtrack, and the music of the Recieving end of Sirens. Cuddles has a special guest to help dish out the advice. Last but not least, the Sasuke Fanclub is highlighted, and our Special Guest, Duke Tungston, investigates some wild rumors^^.

Sweet Issue

I think the interviews were really good

Hats off the Fresh1, your interviews were fun to read

I have to say that the newsletter does really do a lot. From getting to know more about the members here, annoucements to keep you updated, and recommendatons from other fans of anime and manga, you guys really cover all the bases.

I loved the San Goku interview

[fieldy3000]

The interviews & Cuddles' corner were entertaining/informative as usual. sorry that i didn't get involved in this one. so far I still haven't gotten a response but atleast Avas interview got more exposure.
Really good review for Benders big score too. maybe have a mini review of older movies at the bottom of the page once in a while?
the top 10 game thing is a good idea but I think that having 2 or 3 NM gamers reveal their top 5 for each gaming system would have been abit better and not as cluttered.
maybe review Gears of War (for the PC)/Unreal tournament 3/the work of that game studio so far for the next news letter?

I have to ask, what the hell happened in the graphics/layout department? the last issue was great, this one got distorted as hell. again, resizing the SOTW entries is a no no, makes them loose quality and then Avas piece is a freaking blur...
the manga page backgrounds are either too busy or way too distorted due to poor resizing again. I suggest using high quality scans of the covers instead of internal pages that include text due to the fact that the covers generally tend to have better composition/centerpieces and are usually not as busy looking.
I said it before, just send it over to me with the wanted size and I'll resize it and optimize the weight of the picture so it's not too heavy.

all in all though it was a good read.

It's much better than the last issue(#3).
Well done, keep doing hard and good as well.

My firend laughing at me because my nickname mentioned twice. Don't know why but I hope he'll stop.

Anyway, I hope next issue will be impressive like this one.

@Game Review: As you may have noticed, both the Game and Tech Reviews were dropped from the Newsletter after some internal issues and the first staff culling(the guy doing them got culled) at the start of the NL. We are now in the process of deciding whether these pieces will be introduced back into the newsletter permanently so you may or may not see a game review next issue. Although if it's a review on Gears of War or UT3 I would gladly do it if I get my 512 Mb GeForce 8800GT today since I will be playing both of them....no sleep!!!

We hear your plight on the graphics. It doesn't go unnoticed. 4th is a busy, working man with a wife and graphic issues are still being ironed out while he is marshalling the forces. Bear with us just a little longer as we work something out(hopefully before next issue).

some errors in the world jumble take 2 for example non uchiha sharingan user its obviously kakashi - but the letters akhasi - missing a k - not looked through ti all yet so might be mroe mistakes

[Martzu]

As usual, interviews were awesome, Avalantis, 4th and San Goku. I have been fan of Avalantis works way before I joined NM. So nice to read it ^^ Reviews were good to read too. How members celebrate holidays was also really interesting. We have members all over the world so it was really nice to see how ppl celebrate it. And extra bonus for mentioning picture sources, it gives credits of the pics where they belong.

And ask Cuddles was a blast, as usual <3

Could not agree more.
Every issue I jump straight to the interviews and this month was the best yet !
Hats off to Fresh1 and this months three guinea pigs for that


Word Jumble probs:
Q2, the extra K.
Q10, Isnt it Ryuken who is the director?
Q12 and 13 switch
Q16, Ishida is the top of the class.

Minor problems didnt distract from a really enjoyable read, roll on next issue.

[Fresh1]

[Sexy Latina]

Thanks!! Been waitin for it!!!!

Great issue 4th! Never disappointed!

[Sasuke's Legacy]

I have to say, Cuddles Corner was funny as hell to me.

4thseal interview ftw, and Martzu being the member of the month is epic. Congratz to her on that... But very interesting. I have no knowledge of anything GFX-wise, but the interview was pretty kickass and sotw's are funky.

I loved the format, an over all improvement in many aspects. The pictures were great, and the occasional information and visual appeal just gave it a very professional feeling. But just in general, I think the interviews are the most exciting part of the newsletter.

Wonderful job.
