So, our compatriots across the Pong Pond at Capcom UK sponsored a Fortean expedition to the (I would suppose) murky rainforests of Guyana in search of giant anacondas and the mysterious didi, which supposedly “rip the tongues from living cattle.” Although it seems like it would be difficult for me to type anything more rad than that onto our corporate blog today, this expedition was sponsored in the name of marketing Monster Hunter in Europe. I will wait a moment while your mind boggles. G’head, collect yourself.

Now that I have dropped this mindbomb on you, head over to the official Center for Fortean Zoology’s Guyana Expedition 2007 blog to track the team’s progress in search of critters not normally seen outside the pages of the Monster Manual. Like, now. For the love of everything cool, add the subscription feed to your reader while you’re at it. So far, no sign of tongue-chomping forest apes, J-Lo crushing reptiles, lost tribes of Bigfeets or Cthulu, but who knows what the future may hold. Well, Cthulu knows what the future holds, but then again, he’s a telepathic sticky green spawn of the stars with an awful squid-head with writhing feelers who brings the End of All Things. So, there’s that.

For the benefit of our American readers, “the Pond” is that large body of water east of New York, aka “the Atlantic,” while Guyana is a country in South America, located south of America, and is not, as it might sound, an ingredient in Red Bull.
