Our live countdown!:

http://www.livecount...n.aspx?id=23045



                                                                     UPDATE 9:
It's been like ... a week! Since the last "update". 
Moving on, here's our latest in stunning high definition.
Well, high webcam definition. Basically I go on about my DA2 costume *just so we're all clear, it will not be "pro" at all. I have little skill in the costume department*. Then Matt strolls in. Good enough for me!
We hope to continue bearding, and please:
How do we get Matt fired so we can do so?
I saw do as the Mage Hawke. Fire. Fwoom.
Bwahaha!:devil:



                                                                         UPDATE #8:
So, a while ago I said Matt and I would try and make a beard song.
Well, we kinda failed. The musical talent is lacking *well, Matt does play guitar and bass ... but never mind that*

I did finish writing the Beard Song; thing is, it's not very original.
The idea was to take the 30 Seconds to Mars trailer for DA:O and redo it ourselves, making it a DA2 trailer. That meant taking the song "This Is War" and changing it to something Beard related ...
It was a good idea, then we realized neither of us can sing nor record even if we wanted to.

But, if you are curious, here it is. "This is War" turned into "We Will Beard"
*Try singing along to this is war with these lyrics. It's ... interesting*
**Lyrics were never corrected/edited**
***I'll stop making excuses as to why this is so silly now***

A shout out to the people,
our brothers, our sisters.
We will beard.
To the rogue class, the mages, the warriors, the players.
We will beard.

1.
It was a moment of boredom that turned to a bet,
A moment of weakness, the challenge not met,
The moment to beard, the moment to beard,
To beard, to beard, to beard

2.
To the eighth, to the month,
We will beard, just for fun*
To the begin-ning of March,
We will grow and grow
So come beard with us!

To the eighth, to the month,

A tribute to the writers, The Kirby, The Gaider,
We will beard.
Oh, to the Dalish, the apostate,the Cousland, the Aueducan,
We will beard.

I do believe in this plight,
Put your razors down tonight.
The day is here, the beard is grown,
If you've bearded too, you're not alone.

You're not alone *repeat x3, 1. sung in background*
The Beard is grown.

2.
3.

So come beard with us!
Come beard with us!
The beard is grown!
The beard is grown!
Come beard with us!


*I never liked that part*

Ahem, now, if you thought that was bad, you should have heard the rap I made one day ... ugh.
Now I'm going to flee before I embarrass myself further.



                                                                             UPDATE #7.5:
Matt hasn't gone this long without shaving before. I wonder if he's getting uncomfortable ... huu ha ha:devil:

Looks like we're getting somewhere! 



***

Or at least ... I have a hat.

Actually, the design was completely unintentional, and a mistake. Apparently when you buy paint that says "looks like real blood!", it also comes out like real blood :pinched:
So, never mind Blood Dragons, we roll with Beard Dragons ;)

Now stop staring at my room, you creeps!

Beard on, friends!

**So I tried on the hat ...**

Okay, so the hat doesn't fit very well (excuse the gecko, Bebe, she's been staring at me for an hour now...)


And then she attacked the hat. So ... ya...

Image IPB

Apparently I've got a little dragon and didn't even know it:wub: 
I'm thinking of sending the hat to all you Bearders out there. You get the hat, take a pic with it, then send it off to the next person ... 

It's a thought, anyway. (It would make the final montage that much better ;) )





                                                                              UPDATE #6.5:

Beard Montage!!!

Thanks to everyone for sticking with us! Hope to see more beards in these coming months!


If this doesn't convince you that we are mentally ill, I don't know what will.
It started out with Matt running around the back yard. Then he found a knife. Then it escalated. *Like it always does :crying:*
DA classes

*again, poor video quality, I have to film everything with my webcam ...*
Whatever class you choose, be kind, add a beard. *Maybe the fire spells would have worked ...*

Dwarves can't shoot fire. That's why we wont use them :devil: 
*Beware when older brothers appear. 'Tis a dangerous encounter indeed!*

You know what to do ;)
Beard on!

P.S. My hound is sooo much better than a mabari.


                                                                     UPDATE #5:
The Chant of Beard:

Blessed are they who stand before
the shaven and cleansed and do not falter.
Blessed are the Bearders, Champions of the bristles.

-Beardedictions 4:10

At Hawke’s word, the face
Grew black with hair.
At Our Sister's, ten thousand curses
Passed her lips,
A great turth rose over Lothering, gladly proclaiming:
Those who have been bearding are the Saviour.
-Hawke-Beard 10:1


 Beards exist to grow on man, and never to be plucked from him. 
Warm and cozy are they
Who have taken the time
And grown the Champion-Maker.
They shall be named Beard Brother, chosen ones.
They shall find great appeasement here
And beyond.
-Truth 1:2

If anyone wants to add more, go for it ;) It can be done, and better, haha!
**We're working on a song, it's not really going anywhere though ...**

                                                                         UPDATE #4.5:
He decided to show up.
Sept. 1/10
Image IPB
It's hard to see, but he's basically got the Alistair 5 o'clock shadow goatee thing going on ... Yup.

Welp, here it is! The PSA *Public Service Announcement*. I must say ... having a beard ... it's really fun. 
Sorry gals, Matt's not here, so you don't get to see him shirtless again.

Be warned, there is some gore. I went all out for this one. 

Enjoy! 
Bearding PSA

**again, the video quality isn't the greatest. The parts with me are quiet, others not so much. And the lag is terrible D: **
***Updates 3-4 were cut for space. Too crowded is not pleasant***

                                                                                 UPDATE #2:
We have a blog! beardingforda2.blogspot.com
A huge thank you to Aeowyn, our Ambassador of Bearding for creating and updating said blog! And make sure pass on your thanks as well!


                                                                                     UPDATE #1:
So, Matt has tiny stubbles going on around his chin, but nothing to post a pic/video about.

We actually counted the days, and it turns out we actually have 6 MONTHS and 11 DAYS *give or take* to complete this! Less time guys!
ALSO!!!
We've decided to make this a contest - there WILL be a trophy! *We just have to buy/make one ...* So on March 8th, submit your pictures to me *or an e-mail I give out closer to that time* and Matt (my bother) and I will pick the winners ;). We'll give trophies to the best Real and Fake beard *just so anyone can do it ;) *

The prize was going to be Nutella, but I don't think I can FedEx food ...

I also want to take the time to thank everyone for supporting the thread and beards themselves! It makes me proud to see us all working towards an epic goal!

                                                           A Little About Us, and Why The Beard:
My name is Caitlin Lane. Like Lois Lane, but more epic because I'm real. My brother is Matt Lane, and he really doesn't wear shirts often.  He's also crazy and scares me on a regular basis, but hey, that's actually rather normal in this world, no?
Anyway, I decided to do this for three reasons: 1) to show appreciation to these Bioware games in an epic way. 
2) To make Matt uncomfortable *he's not allowed to shave, that's gonna get itchy, and I shall llaugh!* 
3) Beards are epic. They need love.
                                                                                

                                                                             Honourable Mentions:
Calla S made an awesome Signature. We thank you, and award you +1000 approval :) Image IPB
                    Image IPB
HighlanderBeserkr is now an official Viking of this thread. Your beard is godly.
filaminstrel modified Calla's banner into our glorious header! Thank you!
Aeowyn is our Ambassador of Bearding. Made us a blog. Check the updates ;)
JMKnave totally made Hamlet that much better. Read his "To beard, or not to beard" on page 18/19.
mllrthyme wrote a beardly fanfic, "For the Love of Beard". Find it on page 28!

WELCOME: In preparation for Dragon Age 2, I challenged my brother to grow a beard as magnificent as Hawke's. He has 6 months to complete this challenge. Can he do it?

The Plan:
To go from a pitiful, Alistair 5 o'clock shadow, goatee "thing", to a full out magnificent and champion-like Hawke beard.
Image IPB

So Far:
August. 25/10

There's basically nothing to brag about. *Sorry for poor picture quality*

Every week or so, we will update the Beard's growth, unless there is no change.

Can he survive the challenge of not shaving until Dragon Age 2 is released? We shall see!

And to he also made a video: 
*video quality is poor, so turn up your speakers*


My brother's username on this site is Vexxtal. He should be popping in to update if I fail to. 



Let the bearding begin!


Join us! Grow a beard for Dragon Age 2!

Get a variety of fake beards, each slightly larger and awesomer than the last.

...I am so tempted to do that now.

I've already begun. Watch out, guys. My facial hair growing skills are pretty ace.


Quite possibly, this is the single best post of the entire day.
