So I thought I'd post these. They're nothing to do with the game, but figured you guys would like them anyway, something to chew on while we wait for the next phase of the game:
And then there's this picture, just cos I like seeing Liz and Red together:
Forgive my ignorance but I don't know what or who is a psychometrist...
I'm kinda guessing Abe, but my knowledge of the Hellboy mythos only extends as far as the movies (I've been a Marvel whore for the larger part of my life, recently started branching out to Vertigo) - so I've no idea who Abe 'is'.
Psychometry is being able to touch something and then know about it with psychic powers. In the comics, he isn't psychic, just a fish man. His original name was Langdon Everett Caul. He was an American sailor (a very rich one) who had buddies over in England. All of this was early in the US's history but I never checked to see if he was before or after the [American] revolutionary war. He had a wife, too. Anyway, he was in this group of pseudo-scientists, and they called themselves the Oannes club. They madea submarine at some point and Caul found this jewel-egg thing under water (what it is isn't ver actually explained) and when he shows his buddies he goes unconscious and his buddies put him in a tank and leave him there. After he went missing, his wife killed herself. He found out about this just recently in the comics. Turns out his buddies were mad scientists living on an island. He blew it up.
And as for Johann (I don't know if they'll change this for the movie) was a psychic medium in Germany. When he was outside of his body, his body got destroyed. He held his ectoplasm together until he could make it to the BPRD and they made a suit for him.
This blog will be keeping track of the marketing and the viral game for Hellboy 2, so check back often for updates - and in case you miss something, there's an archive of previous posts at the bottom of this column.
(Any pictures you see here can be saved to your desktop, and opening them from there will give you access to much bigger versions.)
An abomination hath been done, The wheels of motion turned and spun, A quarter moon past, Time runneth fast, Our countdown already begun.
Limerick 2:
Rise up prepare to act, The future is bleak in fact, Unite as one, Oh earthly son, Protect the ancient pact
Limerick 3:
From light they often make stone, Time for us all to atone, Years of abuse, From persons obtuse, One nine of a month yet unknown.
Limerick 4:
A very dark day in our prime, Our planet is covered in grime, Pray hear our concern, All ye to learn, Five plus one less than a dime.
Limerick 5:
Four out of twelve leads the way, Twenty less one points the day, Of primary concern, For thou to learn, Fine creatures are dismay.
Limerick 6 (sent via email to HETFET members):
Dare to "find the clues", Unfold the path you choose, Thinking minds, Combining Rhymes, Hetfet brings this news.
Limerick 7 (sent via email to HETFET members, lowercase is deliberate):
cats are also called these, a fancier term if you please, follow your mind, all work in kind, and find it with relative ease.
Limerick 8 (sent to superherohype.com):
THE SECRET DEVICE before you now a mystery no doubt, Flashing lights and spinning rings, what is it all about? Adventure down this path you've found, Searching for clues, For every time you crack the lock, Rewards are there for you. This journey gives you more than fun, The clever folk will find, For some who reach the very end, A might gift in kind. A journey beyond cyberspace, The lucky II will see, Much more than they imagine, Bull and demon destiny. Support the fey who need your help, To keep the peace intact, Beware of those not of their word, Protect the ancient pact.

As long as we're waiting, how about some speculation? :)
I always wondered why, if he's a psychometrist, he couldn't look at his own past and realize who he really was.
Then again I think that would just depress him.

A little enlightenment maybe...?

Whoah - that's pretty heavy...
