Contents - EX 3.7

EX staffers give the gift that keeps on giving... ideas! From anime to manga to anything else, we bring you our recommendations (actually, what we want for ourselves) for gift ideas for your friends, family, loved ones or even for yourself. Happy holidays, from the staff of EX!

The usual round of questions and comments.

With winter break, Scott takes a moment to catch up on all the email that's been stuffed in his box for the past three weeks. Did you know that Mount Orizaba is 5,602.6 meters high?

Although he's left RIAP, Chad Kime is still with us here at EX and begins his new column this month. Call him the Grinch, if you will, as he sounds the death dirge for laserdiscs in Requiem for the Laserdisc.
