Why not a Granado Espada one?
Everyone on the Internet has done a version of this video for their favorite show! And all they needed was some applicable fan art!
Why can't we have Grace Bernelli and Andre Janzur doing this dance?
[Or a female elementalist and a male wizard? Or Claude Baudez and Grandice? Or Jack, Diego, AND Angie? Or Feng Ling? ... This list could go on and on.]
...Before anyone challenges me: ask Fiksdotter, or Artaxerxes. They've seen me actually PERFORM the Caramelldansen.

Still dreaming!

I really need to push the Carracci team; I hope I can make Vet soon.

[PICSPAM] Dinner with Hrin ^^
Some of us were lucky to have gotten together with sGE RCM Hrin last night for dinner and ice cr- excuse me, gelato - in Makati. Here are the proofs that we met with her last night!
This was, of course, the second time I had dinner with her ^^
This time, we were at Cafe Bola, again in Greenbelt 3. I guess we keep picking locations near that because we thought it was near to where she was having her meetings?

While waiting for dinner, Darrick Reclusion and Artaxerxes amused Hrin and our end of the table by attempting to slit each other's throats.
[Darrick later said he'd try Photoshopping in the Granado Espada UI and skill names!]

Artaxerxes, me, and Hrin.

Front row from left to right: Artaxerxes, Hrin, pCM Veya, and Fiksdotter. Back row from left to right: Darrick, me, and Nate Reclusion.

Darrick and I face off!
After dinner and cones of gelato for dessert, it was time for pictures with Hrin. So here goes!

Hrin and me.

Hrin and Fiksdotter.

Hrin and Stiles.

Hrin and Darrick.

Nate and Hrin.

Artaxerxes and Hrin.
We wished Hrin the time to go shopping before leaving on Thursday morning, and she quipped that she had been singing the Not Another Love Story: Ze Muzical! song Where are All the Shopping Malls!
We had a lot of fun talking although, of course, the night was too short to tell her everything we wanted to say.
Till next visit~!

After Dom1nation II: swag and links ^^
I always wind up carrying stuff home from cons, and that's why I always carry a big backpack to events like those. Big floppy empty backpack in the morning, big HEAVY FULL backpack on the way home.
When I emptied my backpack after Dom1nation II, this is what fell out:

My very own, SEALED Granado Espada Limited Edition Signature Box [G-Points and Emilia the Sage intact]. This one is 9361 of 9999. Thanks to Ms. Sheila of IP e-Games, and to the Dominguez PR peeps ^^

My blog anniversary present from Hrin! It's one of the limited edition 2008 Granado Espada diaries, straight from South Korea ^^ Read more about it here.

I'd been looking for this jacket for literally a year and was more than happy to plunk down my hard-earned money to buy this pretty Granado Espada jacket for myself ^^ It looks quite nice on me.
I am also given to understand that the Granado Espada PH Community Heroes should be receiving permanent costumes as their in-game prizes for their heroism. I wonder how many each of us are entitled to, and how long before they're loaded into our accounts?
[I'm not even sure if the prizes and tokens from the Tribute to the Ladies have been distributed already!]

[Picspam] Post-Dom1nation II, recap and review, part 2: FFA Winners, GE PH Community Heroes, and end
I was going to do just a post-event picspam as I did with the post-GE PH Tribute to the Ladies entry, but I thought you might like a little more commentary with the 100-plus pics I took of the event.
Again, I'll be posting the pics at a slightly smaller size so as not to kill your browsers too much. Please click on the photos to go to the Photobucket archive, where you can view all of them.

Previous entry: Post-Dom1nation II, recap and review, part 1: Cosplay and Factions
After the faction honors, it was time to give due recognition to the Granado Espada PH Community Heroes.
First came the individual honors for the winners of the first Fantazzztic Film Awards:

Artaxerxes.

Behringer.

deEspania.

Familier.

Fetuccini.

Fiksdotter.

iCez.

Kincaid.

Mena.

Mortreux.

NineMoons.

Reclusion.

Sigrid.

Weisswritter.
And then the Philippine sweep of the first FFA was made clear, as the three PH teams that made the finals were given their prizes!

Veterans, Perdonato: Mortreux, Weisswritter, and Fetuccini.

Experts, Le Blanc (White): Fiksdotter, iCez, and Reclusion.

Grand Masters, Not Another Love Story: Ze Muzical!: Behringer, NineMoons, and Reclusion.
Next to be honored were the PH heroes of the GE Forums:

AUGLab, Community Crew. [IGN: Castiglione]

BlackSheep, Community Crew. [IGN: RavenBlitz]
The Colony Wars reporters were honored as well:

NineMoons, for Cervantes.

Reclusion, for Carracci.
And the GE PH bloggers with outstanding contributions to the community, not to mention all of whom were blogspotted:

Fiksdotter.

Mena.

NineMoons.

Reclusion.

Welling.
Not in photos: Craeon, Deniva.
It was just too bad that the fan artists were not present at the venue!
And I hope that Blacksword and Arcleaumont receive recognition for their fan work too! [They were the PH community members most recently honored on the main site: Blacksword for his Player's Guide to Conventions and Events, and Arcleaumont for his War of the Factions 2 poster.]
***
While the awards were going on, several activities were taking place around the GE booth and elsewhere: the Battle of the Champions 2v2 Face-Off, won by the Visayas team; the New Settlers' Battle, the War of the Factions 5v5 PvP, and the live Adelina's Booty Search.
Unfortunately, the New World Trivia Quiz did not push through, for reasons yet unknown.
RCM Hrin and pCM Veya announced that Version 2.6 of sGE, as previously hinted at in one of Hrin's earlier blog entries, would be released on 12 June! That patch will have MAJOR consequences for Colony Wars, and introduce at least 3 new RNPCs - support/bard Vicente Rio, crossbow-user Calyce, and taekwondo martial artist Bai Hu.
In the background, bands such as Imago, Rivermaya, and Sugarfree played their hearts out for the audience. The event hosts were DJs Tado and Ramon Bautista of Magic 89.9, and Nancy Castiglione.
***
After Dom1nation II, the bloggers, several faction leaders and companions, and other players went to dinner with pCM Veya, Ivee Feria, RCM Hrin, and the guests from IAHGames. Someone ordered a dish of balut and invited the guests to try it out ^^
***
I'll be writing an article on Dom1nation II and Granado Espada for a future issue of the print edition of Game! magazine, so I hope you pick that one up too!
