Subject: Is there a hint in bungie webcam 1?

Look at the cd/dvd on Bungie webcam 1 (top left). There looks to be some writing on that disc that is not English. In my opinion,it looks as if it might possibly be Japanese. Does anyone else think that it's japanese and do you think that Bungie is hinting that something might happen at TGS?

also, it might not be english but it is not japanese either. how do I know? japanese don't use LATIN ALPHABET like we do.

it's not japanese, not arabic, not slavic (russian/easter europe).

On my screen those letters look more like katana than our alphabet.

YES, they do! It's called romaji. The earliest Japanese romanization system was based on the orthography of Portuguese. It was developed around 1548 by a Japanese Catholic named Yajiro. Jesuit presses used the system in a series of printed Catholic books so that missionaries could preach and teach their converts without learning to read Japanese characters.

but japaneses don't use romaji. everything is written with kanjis (their glyphs) or english in japan, so CDs or DVDs or whatever would have japanese kanjis on them, not romaji :p

That is not entirely true, there are many instances where romaji is used in Japan. Romanization is also the most common way to input Japanese into word processors and computers.

I'd be more concerned with the pic on the bottom right with the grunt from that video that some kid made as a project in school. It could be hinting the amazingness of the graphics engine :b
