Yugioh YCS Providence Rhode Island 2012 V-logs Malindachan 2012-10-24 | Made a spontaneous trip out to Rhode Island to meet some of our favorite Voice Actors from the English YGO cast. Slifertheskydragon flew from California to Chicago area, and then we drove 17+ hours to the event. We couldn't stay for the whole weekend, but even if we did I don't think we would have had time to enter the main tournament (we mostly wanted to go to the panel, do side events, and meet the VAs). I usually don't find a whole lot of enjoyment at huge competitions because the YGO TCG community can be pretty brutal (cuz Card Games are serious business). I enjoy playing the game, but I prefer to play with a more casual crowd that enjoys the shows and characters like I do. YCS events can be pretty fun though, since there are other things going on outside the main tournament.Decided to go ahead and make my new Yami wig sooner than I originally planned. Got tons of good feedback, which was pretty awesome. :3I'll be wearing Yami again soon for Youmacon and Anime USA. Stop by the Arda-wigs booth in the dealer's room and say hi!Much thanks to everybody that helped make this weekend worth the trip!
Yugioh Voice Actor Panel - YGO YCS in Rhode Island (October 20, 2012) Malindachan 2012-10-23 | Drove all the way from Chicago to Rhode Island to meet these guys!

YGO Deck Profile - Trolling Tag Team special Malindachan 2012-08-21 | We found that third Threatening Roar BTW. It fell on the floor at some point. Whoops? XDThis isn't really a problem at our local tournaments, but if there is one thing I don't like much about the YGO TCG, it's the negativity and immaturity of some of the really competitive players. I run into these types ALL THE TIME when I go to larger scale tournaments, and it's even worse from the perspective of a female player. I have a huge passion for the anime and manga, so I have the most fun when I can dress up as my favorite characters and run decks themed around them. I focus on themes that use cards the characters have in the Anime/Manga, but I like to add other things in that make them more playable at the local tournaments I go to. It's hard to get far competitively because usually they're not top tier or anything, but the greatest prize I could ever want is seeing other players have fun because they're dueling against a character from the show, or dueling against a deck that they might not see very often. There are a lot of cocky players at the bigger tournaments though, that will bash on you for not running the best cards, take advantage of less experienced players, or pick on female duelists for not being pretty enough (or feel it's necessary to compare all the girls that were there, make suggestive or sexist comments, etc). Not saying that every competitive player is like this, but it's a lot more prominent in this hobby than it used to be. So recently, I've wanted to make a "trolling" deck that was just full of stalls and negating/bouncing cards that would frustrate the meaner duelists I run into. Tag team rules state that as long as one teammate has a monster, that monster must be attacked/destroyed first before either side of the team can be attacked directly. So that was the perfect excuse for me to make the deck, since that would mean it would be almost impossible for our opponents to deal battle damage. Kyle was originally going to run a Final Countdown deck for his side, but we couldn't find any copies ANYWHERE, or they were out of our budget online. Burn decks paired with stall decks are really effective as well.I'll post the deck list here whenever I have the time to type it out (unless one of you guys are bored and would like to type it for me... :D )I make my own cosplays and style my own wigs. I also styled my husband's Jack wig and made his Team Satisfaction/Enforcers vest.Wanna see more of my costume work?

YGO Sneak Peek - Return of the Duelist Malindachan 2012-08-18 | I was originally going to wear Kaito, but I didn't want to wake up early to do all his makeup. I felt Carly would be appropriate because it's comfy and she's a reporter :D (it was a new scoop!)There were 2 other sneak peeks going on at the same time within an hour's drive from us, so the turnout wasn't as big as usual (counting the judge, there were about 7 of us). Still pretty fun though; I got most of the Madolche cards I wanted, as well as a Miracle Contact. :3 In the draft duel I managed to get the xyz monster out too, which was pretty awesome XD. Also, Kyle and I each went home with an Excalibur play-mat.Also, I totally didn't realize Miracle Contact is pretty pricy right now XD (though, I usually don't take those prices too seriously until after the official release date). It feels kinda surreal to see E-heroes and Neo-spacians getting popular again. E-heroes have been my favorite deck since I got back into the game 4 years ago :3I make my own cosplays and style my own wigs.

YGO Deck Profile - Malindachans Judai/Jaden/Elemental Hero deck Malindachan 2012-08-14 | Bubble Beat is cool and all...but I just have a preference for something a bit more traditional. XDOverall it runs pretty good; I get a lot of good feedback on it from the guys at locals. Got some tweeking to do, but I'm waiting for the September ban list before worrying much about it.Today is the last day to bid on my Johan and Yami Yugi wigs!

Fanime 2012 Yugioh cosplay skit - Its Your Move Malindachan 2012-05-31 | MP3 download http://www.sendspace.com/file/tq8rttThis song is written by the Bonds of Friendship cast for fellow YGO fans. Not for commercial use.To be clear since a lot of people keep asking - The reason Yami isn't voiced by LK is because Kyle had already recorded his part before we got a response from Martin when we asked if he'd like to help. Since we didn't have a whole lot of time to get the audio together, we didn't even know if LK or Shady would have enough time to record, so we were trying to do as much as we could on our own. Also, even though Martin has done song parodies in the past, he has made comments before about not being very confident with his singing, so we didn't want to ask too much of him. We are grateful enough that he was willing to do Yugi for us since we had a hard time finding a voice for him.Ko put together a video with the lyrics here http://youtu.be/tHguJzxlxTIOur goal for this skit was to create something fun that reaches out to all parts of the YGO fandom. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did performing it.Won Best Comedic Skit at Fanime 2012Lyrics by Ko, Slifertheskydragon, Malindachan, & KairuVocals by EX-shadow (Yami, Yusei, Yuma), LittleKuriboh (Yugi), & Shadyvox (Judai/Jaden)Audio Mixing by ShadyVoxChoreography in the skit by Ko, AmericanHybrid, Kairu, Aoitsukihime, & MalindachanCosplay Cast:Ko (Yuugi) http://ko-chan.deviantart.comRosenitemare (Yami) http://rosenitemare.deviantart.comAoitsukihime (Judai) http://aoitsukihime.deviantart.comMalinda-chan (Yusei) http://malindachan.deviantart.comSlifertheskydragon (Yuma) http://slifertheskydragon.deviantart.comStage Ninjas: Ex-Shadow, Adam, Kairu, & Sakura MikageThere were a few different video recordings of our skit, but I couldn't pick a fav so I spliced some of them together.

Kyle and Malindas Disney Honeymoon Adventure - part 1 of 2 Malindachan 2011-12-05 | Edit: There will be a part 2 eventually! Right now we're focusing on getting some new cosplays done for this year's conventions, and I haven't had much time for video editing. I think most of what's left is parade videos and pieces of shows we saw, and then my video camera ran out of room. XD But yeah, I'll get that up eventually.Sorry we haven't been very active on Youtube lately. I was busy with college graduation, a few conventions, and my wedding :3Yes, Ex-Shadow and I got married on October 29, 2011. See my Deviantart for a few photos with some info about it all!.We went to Disney World for our honeymoon and got to attend the "Mickey's not-so-scary halloween party" the day after Halloween. Kyle and I wore our Terra and Aqua wigs from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep for the occasion (we wanted to bring the whole outfits, but we figured we didn't want to mess them up from walking around in the park all day, plus it was too cold for Aqua XD).About halfway during the vacation I ran out of room on my video camera (and we didn't bring a computer to dump the files on) so we didn't get any videos from our second day at the magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, but we at least got lots of pictures to remember everything by :3We loved the parades and shows for all the characters you don't normally see around the park, which is why we got lots of footage for those XD
Animefest - Malindachans Wig Construction panel (part 4 of 4) Malindachan 2011-12-05 | From Animefest 2011 in Dallas, TX.I censored my email so I wouldn't get spam; I much prefer people contact me with cosplay questions through Deviantart notes anyway.I was pretty nervous lol; this is the first panel I've hosted all by myself. There were a lot of ideas and things I wish I could have thrown in but wasn't thinking about them at the time.A dear friend of mine was going to do some panels at the con, and I volunteered to co-host his wig panel with him (it's for more advanced wig techniques, but we wanted to cover a lot of basic stuff too since the only other wig panel of the weekend was on the last day of the con). An emergency arose and he was unable to attend the convention, but I chose to keep the wig panel going even though I wasn't as experienced in certain areas of wig construction as he is. I think I did pretty well under the circumstances, and I feel the attendees got a lot out of it; some actually came up with more questions after the panel was over and wanted to see some of the wigs up close, but that wasn't filmed.Sorry if anything is hard to hear or see; I would have brought visuals or something if I had known I was going to be by myself, though I don't think the room had a projector anyway XDMuch thankies to my friends that came for moral support and to help record this; It really meant a lot.The wig websites I make references to are Amphigory, Cosworx, and Arda-wigs (those are the places where I shop the most). There are also some other good places like Epic Cosplay, Cosplayfu, & ebay. Party City wigs are NOT recommended.Something I'd also like to point out that I forgot to: A lot of Arda's wigs are actually heat resistant, but several of their wig styles are still spikey-style friendly (like I said say a couple times in these videos, the wigs with the frizzed roots are easier for spiking compared to the super silky wigs that have skin caps or no frizzed roots at all).Also, in the second half of the panel I talk about wig painting for Death the Kid wigs. Acrylics should work fine. I just don't recommend spray paint or something that could crack or react badly with the plastic wig fibers.Another wonderful armature possibility that I totally forgot to mention that is ridiculously useful; upholstery foam! It's lightweight, and you can build all sorts of shapes that you can cover with hair. The possibilities for armatures is almost endless; it really just depends on what you're doing and what's practical.

Kyle and I wore our Terra and Aqua wigs from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep for the occasion (we wanted to bring the whole outfits, but we figured we didn't want to mess them up from walking around in the park all day, plus it was too cold for Aqua XD).So when we got to meet Flynn and Rapunzel, we thought it'd be fun if the guys could attempt the Smoulder for the V-logs. Hope you enjoy XDD (I sure thought Kyle's was hilarious)There's a lot more where this came from, so stay tuned!-Malinda

Animefest 2010 V-logs: Part3/3 Malindachan 2010-10-09 | Sorry it's been taking me so long to get these videos uploaded. The semester's been really hectic, and windows movie maker won't even let me import videos without freezing on me. I finally got a new editing software that runs wonderfully, but I haven't figured out how to add stuff like subtitles or text frames yet.Animefest was so much fun this year. What made it even more special for us is that we got to hang out lots with our Texas cosplay friends. Definitely one of the best conventions we've been to.

The last clip is from the skit our friends did, but I had to cut it in order to get all the V-logs from this con into three parts (it was originally two parts, but for some reason the first part got cut down to 10 minutes when I uploaded it even though the new Youtube cap for time is supposed to be 15 minutes)The rest of the skit will be in the third part.

Anime Iowa 2010 V-logs Malindachan 2010-10-09 | Sorry it's been taking me so long to get these videos uploaded. The semester's been really hectic, and windows movie maker won't even let me import videos without freezing on me. I finally got a new editing software that runs wonderfully, but I haven't figured out how to add stuff like subtitles or text frames yet.Didn't get a whole lot of footage at Iowa because we had a lot of conflict going on in our minds over someone we thought was our friend. I personally felt used because he was leeching on us for attention, and he's done other things that I have found unforgivable. Besides the drama, Anime Iowa was lots of fun. I hope I'm able to go back next year, but it depends on what's going on in my life at the time (I'll be graduating college in the Spring).Much love to all the wonderful ladies we stayed with! Also much love to our YGO buddies for being there for us and creating fun when things got hectic.
Gale-kon 2010: Whos line is it Anime? Malindachan 2010-07-01 | WHCG productions were the contestants of a game of "Who's line is it Anime?" at Gale-kon 2010.

Was a lot of fun, and we hope we can make it again for next year :3

Naka-kon 2010 V-logs (part 2) Malindachan 2010-04-04 | Here are my V-logs from Naka-kon 2010 (Kansas City, MO) Naka was really great this year. I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get as much hang-out time with some of our friends due to the masquerade taking up so much of our time Saturday, but we still had lots of fun. There are still a few blips here and there, but Naka-kon is overall one of the best organized small/medium-sized conventions I've attended so far. I'm definitely going to try attending again for a third year. For more V-logs of our adventures check out Sorceresscassandra's Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SorceressKassandra

Ikkicon 2010 V-logs (part 2 of 2) Malindachan 2010-04-03 | The inside joke of the weekend was "PACKAGE FROM EBAY" XD Here are some v-logs Sorceresscassandra and I took back at Ikkicon 2010 (January 1-3 in Austin, TX) Sorry some of the clips are a bit glitchy...I think something weird happened when I was converting the videos off my camera. It was loads of fun because we got to hang out with lots of our con buddies, but the convention itself was pretty unorganized. I don't think we'll be returning in the future mainly because of the roads being bad at that time of year, and the drive was ridiculously long. My car got totaled on the way to the convention because it slid on black ice and went off road, under a barbed wire fence, and into a ditch. We are very fortunate to have survived.

First one is Deviated-Septum's recording, and I've overlayed it with the skit's audio file so it's easier to hear.Second recording is on Sorceresscassandra's video camera. Stage lighting was really high, so it's a bit harder to see. I've left the audio as it is though so you can hear the live performace :3 Special thanks to kmrsworld734 for being there for us :3Cosplayers (in order of appearance)Malindachan as CarlyWyatt as JadenNakahito67 as DivineAnna as Dark Magician GirlRichard as The Bucket NinjaSorceresscassandra as Aki(I need the names for our Nevan and Yoko.
