Just a couple of the AC-related stuff I've worked on at the office. Due to some copyright limitations, I can't copy-paste the articles here, so I'll just link 'em:
This one's a top ten list of my fave mecha.

This one's a review I did for the game's demo for the Xbox 360 - took me 2 hours to write, so I was sort of rushing.

I'd appreciate it if you guys pretend not to know my nationality - our site's got apretty big US fanbase, and if they ever found out we're pinoy, it could get complicated for out office.
Cheers!

Man, bias on a person's nationality sucks. But I feel ya. Good job Antonio. It seems out of place on where you posted it though, so I'm moving it to gaming. Lol.

What?
We have fans?
Rex for the win!
Why was the basic grunt Zaku the first-placer? Char's souped-up custom Zaku would've been better.
Oh well, at least its still a Zaku. Yeah!
Great articles BTW dude.
They placed the generic cannon fodder there because even if the anime had super-strong mechs, they can still manage on getting the job done.
Why do I sense discrimination here? Just because we're living in a third world country that lacks technology doesn't mean we should be underestimated.

A bit of a clarification on that -
I meant the Zaku family as a whole - be it the standard greens that Gene and Denim piloted (and died in), to the infamous Red Comet custom. I'm a bit of a Matsunaga fan myself - the title "White Wolf" has a catchy ring to it.
kehei 0 is a pushover. the pee-gun doesn't do enough damage to be intimidating and the cannon is way innacurate.
that should have been Driscoll's Raven. it didn't have the flashiest of equipment for a boss unit, but it has one thing that sets it apart from every boss unit throughout the series:
it's battle computer consists of a microchip that was derived from Karen's brain and Driscoll had the audacity to use it against Roid.
plus,
towards the end, a wounded driscoll had to hook himself up with his machine.
