Granado Girl: The Futel Family in Granado Espada SEA

Dzien dobry from Poland! Raven here, typing, as always. Mom's busy cleaning our room here in Poland since we live alone now . Anyways, I type because I am so happy to share to you guys the newest addition to our family. But before that, a little story first. Mommy Tin was trying to download the GE Patch for the past week before Thursday in the hostel ~ but to no avail . Yes, we had a 1mbps connection, according to Speedtest.net, but somehow it's still slow. Probably the firewall is blocking the downloads. Both the automatic patch and the manual patch and the full client - nie ma. We don't have it. We cannot download it. So yeah, we were frustrated. Big time. Anywho, a friend offered to download it for us. Woot. But Mom took her hard drive in the office and tried to patch through the laptop there - and it worked. Who knows? Haha. So then we tried to log in and it works! Yay! Zapraszamy, GE version 2.9! :D So, so there. Then last night, mom's friend came and gave her hi...

Hey hey! Dzien dobry~ as what the Polish people say :) I think I need to write something as I haven't blogged anything yet here in my GE blog since I stepped in Poland. The temperature was a great drop from the usual 20++ in the Philippines to a shocking 8 degrees celsius in Poland. You could just imagine my happiness when I stepped down the plane wearing wedge sandals and my coat + jacket ~ with my breath smoking. You do know what I mean. Anyways, I am 2 hours away from Warsaw. Currently living in the 4th floor of Academicka 5, Radom, Poland. (read it as akademitska) hahahaha. OH well. I must say I have really good AIESEC friends and also non-AIESEC friends :D Yup. Living independently and working as an English teacher :P I am 2 weeks in Poland as I write this now~ I wish time would fly really fast. We are making the time fly so fast :) +++ Oh here's a GE related story. I met so many great people in GE. New friends have found places in my life and will never be erased anymor...

Raven here~ wee. Mom was so pissed off this day >. Yesiree, we've been blogspotted! xD W e would like to express our deepest gratitude to IAH and the staff of Granado Espada~ wee. Thanks so much! You make us bloggers love the game even more~ This is a nice farewell gift for us~ since we will be off to Poland by next week. Wee :) Don't worry - you'll still see us online in Vivaldi :) See the blogspotted thingy announcement here. And discuss it here xD Love lots, Raven

Wee~ one of our loading screens got featured, but we didn't win any prizes. Oh well. At least one of our hard works were featured~ weehee~ And it'll be a bigger challenge to make better loading screens next time, right? :D Read the winners and see the winning loading screens here! :D +++ On the other hand, despite our tired minds and bodies during the Colony Wars the other day, we finally got one colony. Which was supposed to be three actually. HAHAH. Oh well. We, the Futels of Vivaldi, are happy that we got one colony :D Behold the Ferruccio Junction~ colony of the Aggressor™ So what if there were 4 to 5 factions against us? :P At last! CWs in Vivaldi are NO LONGER boring :D weeeeheeee~ Keep up the good work, guys! And please please please cool your heads. HERE are some tips for you guys: LISTEN TO YOUR SUPERIORS. LISTEN TO YOUR SQUAD LEADERS. KEEP THE FACTION CHAT CLEAN. DO NOT MAKE UNNECESSARY MOVES. IF THE PLANS BACKFIRE, DO NOT BREAK DOWN AND START CURSING EVERYONE! MAKE ...

August 25, 2008 Despite the stupid weather and the dark skies when I woke up, I still went to Manila to meet up with my other gamer friends ~ my first EB outside my faction . Though I was with Pieter AKA PietMeister and we're both from Aggressor™, I still can't get the thought out of my head that I might be OP. LOL. So yeah~ Piet and I went to SM Megamall to meet up with Kira [IGN withheld due to Repub/Royalists issues HAHA]. Anywho, we waited for Pyxiss and Roque [Aya and Leo, though Leo only plays Pyxiss now] , and stormseek and stormseeks [Bryan and Ria] and then headed off to Greenwoods were we saw hotoshi and Stallios ~ woot. Republicans and one Royalist. HAHAHA. ^^v We were with the Baron faction and the Rebels~ and of course, Aggressors :P What we did? A day full of Nintendo Wii-ing playing tennis, RockBand, Guitar Hero and boxing. WTF. Now I want a Wii :O waaaaaaah. So sorry about me ranting~ i just want a wii + an LCD projector now. WTF. Pictures? LOL. I believe Aya a...

Here's a set of new Loading Screens that we've done~ Wee! Enjoy :P {so sorry, mom got lazy in putting captions to others...lol :P her copywriting skills were sleeping that time when she edited...LOL} Which weapon would you want to use?? :P Buffs Galore! Dun you just love Rio's buff? Err, what's with the caption, mom? Haha. Issue:O LOL If you wear this pistol with a rapier, people will ask where you got that e92 main gauche. hahahahaha :P

Mom was in the mood for some Photoshopping :D So we made an entry to Diego's Art Nouveau! :) Read the mechanics here . See the entries here . And discuss it here . Of course, we wouldn't pass the chance to post it here in our blog, would we? :P Thanks for the wonderful screenshots and editing, Mommy Tin :P ~ you're the best! Our entries are shrinked to 800 x 500 so it won't lag your internet connection that much ~ but the originals are still here, 1280 x 800 :) Enjoy ;) Matthieu my brother musky, Seanne my brother elem, and me ~ the femme fighter in Idge's hat and my Daemon Sword :O One of my favorite screenshots. Why? Because I got blue rings! :P Haha, an accidental screenshot during CW. Yeah, go team! :) I got Bai Hu in our family! Wahahaha! See how I kicked Takahashi in his face :P Ack, this was for the photostory. But it's still nice, right? And another one using our faction's pics! So that's it for now! LOL. Mom's kinda tired editing and we'...

Mommy being one of the girls in the faction [and sometimes even being the FL] makes her prone to a lot of teasing and name-callings in Vivaldi. Especially when she haven't shown herself in the faction in real life :P But then everything changed when she first showed herself in the GE Event in Trinoma :O LOL, I'll do some Q&A between me and Mom :D The Aggressors in Trinoma: Friendships both in-game and in real life. Raven: Yo mom! What made you show yourself to ur factionmates in TriNoMa? Tin/Futel: Pft. It was actually all planned that I'd be meeting up with Paw (the one in the picture beside me) and then I'd be dropping off to see these guys but pakkin' ADMINISTRATOR [see picture] teased me the night before and said that I was the same as ARBAB (who's GAY) so then i got so pissed and I swore I'd show myself to them :O Raven: Haha. Yeah you were so mad that night, they were all telling ADMIN to stop. So how'd it go? Tin: Well I was in TriNoMa early, ...

Thanks to the Girl Gamer's Blog Challenge by CM Veya, we won free 20 Adelina's Booty Searches again :) Wee~ Thanks for the challenges and events! Keep on doing such to make gamers such as us more excited and more active :D +++ On a side note, Raven and Catherine are now EXPERTS. Woo~ So proud of my babies :D And Matthieu my muskee is 9% away from being Expert~ woottt~ Vicente is Vet now, as well :) Grace, Andre & Emilia are all level 8x Irawan, Viki and Christine the wiz is level 100 Woot~ :D See you all in-game :)

July 21, 2008 Around 1AM.. Krz here. I let off my babies rest for a while~ they're probably tired grinding. As you guys all know, we are members of the Aggressor Faction in Vivaldi...and I know I'm not the only rose among the thorns but I was the first to bond with them. They all became my brothers. Lol. So this morning, my Faction Leader & good friend, Daemonic, asked me something..which led to one thing to another. And guess what happened after the conversation. Pft. Behold Matthieu my Musky in Outrage and Raven my Fighter with Blue rings... Whadahell. OK, so being an FL for a day (or rather, 18 hours as I type this) had made me think of somethings that should be thought of. It is a big responsibility. Though I know my little brother Daemonic will still be FL in mind, body and soul, it is our family's name which is at stake and linked with our faction now. People literally stop in Auch to see, who is that with blue rings...PMing me what happened to Dae or sth like tha...

It's a rainy day and Mom was getting bored and so were we. You'd probably be wondering who the new NPC is outside Bahia - the Royal Rumble Manager. Well yep, i t's a new game in Bahia which is like Royal Rumble in WWE . LOL. Rules are simple enough - you defend yourself. Woot! It opens at 12pm, 4pm, 8pm and 12am for 20minutes. Come to channel 1 and bring 150,000Vis with you if you wanna join :D Sure is fun for those PK-lovers in Vivaldi! LOL. So if you LOVE to PK in IOF, GO HERE INSTEAD.. SO at 4pm earlier this afternoon, she brought Cath, Matthieu and Me in Bahia Island channel 1. We spoke to the Guard (who looks like Cortazar, LOL) OK, so were were required to pay 150,000 Vis. Pft. There you go. LOL. Anywho, at 4pm, we saw another family inside. Killed his scout. Poof. Gone. Then he killed us three. Oh well~ turns out to be kaiserblitz :P you're imba, dude. HAHA. He said sorry anywho. So, that's fine. Anywho. Mom decided to try again this 12am. Guess what? We wer...

Krz here. LOL. CM Veya's Challenge here made me think of a story that is seemingly taken from my own life. Don't ask who Andre is and don't ask who the guy is. But the makeover part? LOL. Well, I got thinner, got contact lenses and got longer hair. While he, on the other hand, went from a rather chubby childhood to a fabulous gentleman who can really wear nice corporate clothes and can flash a killer smile with his dimples. Are they my GE babies' daddy? Hmm. Yes ^^v right Awie? Anywho, I asked Matthieu and Raven to do the poses for me. Editing, of course, is done by yours truly. Enjoy this simple photo story :) I do hope that when you see this, a song plays entitled One Love, my own version of Acel Bisa's song from the OST of Spring Waltz :) Set in the serene bridge in Rio Albi, a simple story of friendship that led to love happens~

July 3, 2008 As mom downloaded the whole 200++mb patch and encountered a lot of installation and patching issues upon the coming of Requiem v2.6, we were agitated :D Haha. See: The game doesn't patch in Mom's laptop but it patches in her brother's PC BUT she can get in v 2.4 and play and there are new things all over. But the version still says 2.6 Oh well. Next day, she used her brother's PC to finish patching, copied in her external HD and voila! Hello Granado Espada v2.6 :) As Darkness Falls, True Heroes Emerge. What a tagline. Anywho, here's the poster taken from the official GE website :) Sorry if it's cut and cut. Seems like IAH cut it in parts and blogger can't connect it without spaces in between. Anyways, here are some thingies that we noticed inside the game. FONTS are changed. Yep. It looks like this font but it's smaller but it definitely has serifs like these. But the smileys which gamers do such as >_ . NEGATIVE barracks bug. Some peopl...
