Bioshock 2 Special Edition Black Light Propaganda Posters

[DasHinchen]

Btw the second poster shows Sinclair, not Fontaine. :3

[DasHinchen]

how did you find this out?! :D

[MrXboXiT]

where did you buy your frames?

[DasHinchen]

this is soooo epic My head exploded. So did my anus.

[thegaymaker]

Holy crud! I have the posters but no idea it had black light stuff! Woo!

[ordinarycuber]

what size frame is that.??

[2012glitches]

i had this edtion for ages and discoverd this by accident nice vid

[abcdef1237089]

2 things: 1, think that the poster is of Sinclair, Ryan, and Tenenbaum. I hope that I spelled that right. And 2, is it me, or does Sinclair remind anyone of Peter Sarsgard? Wait...is it Peter? Correct me if I'm wrong cause I'm commentinf with my iPod and I can't look half of these things up. Anyway, cool video, bro.

Woah, I've owned the Collectors edition for a very long time and only now I stumble across this video and find this out, thanks for uploading this, and to think I own a black light as well!

[RadovanEdmond]

what haved u use to see those messages ?

[jarrettcoggin]

@RadovanEdmond You can use any type of Blacklight from what I understand. I picked up the blacklight I used at Home Depot. I also believe that Spencer's would have them as well.

[guitara7x6661]

whoa, ive had this collectors edition since release, and I always thought those posters were pointless. Never knew this, thats actually pretty sick.

Also the beach events that happens on different beaches around the United States, did anyone think to take Black Lights to those?? I would advise you search "Bioshock 2 Beach Event Vancouver " if you were not aware of the events of August 8th 2009.

[jarrettcoggin]

@D3at4not3 I just searched that and watched a video. I'm now curious if they used similar paper in the construction of those. The paper looked a little too dull to have multiple layers or multiple prints like these had, but it could be entirely possible. I have to admit that the bottles of wine and what not was really cool to see.

[D3at4not3]

Acctually if I am correct the second poster has: Augustus Sinclair, Andrew Ryan, and Grace. (This alines correctly with the 3 people Lamb talks about directly in the game)

[jarrettcoggin]

@D3at4not3 It seems like that would be a good guess. I'll have to play through this to double check.

[HeartDropLoire]

The woman in the poster is not Grace. While it is unclear who she is, her concept is in the art book under citizens of Rapture. She is no one in particular. However, in the book, you will find her hair blonde instead. She is wearing red if you'd like to thumb through to find her. Also, it cannot be Grace as Grace is African American and has a significantly different look to her concept. That being said, because her hair has been altered, I would imagine she represents Tenebaum in this case.

[HeartDropLoire]

On that note, the other figures are Ryan and Sinclair

[starboomer11]

@D3at4not3 That does make sense. Augustus Sinclair, being the one that runs a big time business which is involved in numerous working fields, particularly plasmids. Andrew Ryan, being the creator and "ruler" of the city. Grace, who is the governer of Pauper's Drop. And finally Sofia Lamb (who is clearly missing from the poster.), who is Rapture's top psychiatrist. It makes perfect sense, because they all are the higher-ups in Rapture. One thing I am skeptical of though is that Grace is white.

@jiolandshark I thought so myself as well. Thanks for watching!

[churrobilly]

hey i framed mine too!

[jarrettcoggin]

@churrobilly I think they look so cool. I framed the Vinyl as well, but I haven't hung it yet. Thanks for the comment!

[firetruckracer]

where did you get frames?

[jarrettcoggin]

I got the frames at Michael's for about $15 for two frames. They are 11" x 14".

[firetruckracer]

dude i want to get them framed! thats bad ass

[jarrettcoggin]

@firetruckracer Totally agree that it's bad ass! thanks for the comments!

[megan4550]

i have the posters its so cool i got a black light from a c.s.i investigating kit lol

[jarrettcoggin]

that's awesome lol. I like to hear that there are quite a few people that have the Special Edition.

[BigBoss0715]

I had to buy a blacklight for some work in my Art A-levels, so I tried it out on my posters. Kudos to 2K; it's an astounding idea.

On my copy of the second poster though, the hand print and text are missing. =/

[jarrettcoggin]

That sucks :(. The poster's are still cool nonetheless. Hopefully that blacklight is a little more powerful than mine so the UV writing shows up better.

[BigBoss0715]

It's only a small 4W 135mm one. But it's still quite powerful. I tried it out again earlier - for some reason the hand print and "Where is Lamb?" appear to be above the circle. >.>

[jarrettcoggin]

Hmm, odd. Take a pic. I'd like to see it.

[LUCKYxLUCHIANI]

I would try this on my posters if I had a blacklight D: But good stuff man, my friend told me they had hidden messages on them if you used a blacklight, and you showed me they did haha.
