Anyone else ever notice the letters in the portal before?

The easiest ones to see are the R and C/G in the top left. And theres a Q that's pretty easy to see too.

Hey, that's cool. I've never noticed it before. If you have an lcd display and you look at the screen from an angle they show up really well. I edited your image to make em stand out

Hmm. I don't seem to have letters on my portal though

Wow that's amazing. Any ideas as to why Peter did that? I'd think it's a watermark but usually watermarks aren't just a random jumble of letters.


Oh! try taking a snapshot of things besides the portal and doing the same thing to them!

Strange. Maybe it's only on a1r 20-slalom or something... Maybe that's the background and I'm an idiot.

I don't see it either on my game. Does your screenshot program have a watermark capability or did you actually see it on the screen? I'm just eliminating the possibility it's a watermark from the screenshot or other picture/photo program you used to copy and paste.

It's also possible that it's a background from an old upload.

Guys I'm fairly sure that in one of the backgrounds theres one where its just letters; I think all your seeing is the letters through the portal.

Lol I deleted my backgrounds. I've deleted all the original levels too :/ I kinda want to see how much better I've gotten.

Damn. I guess it's just a lot easier to see them in portal.

It is background from popular level set (you can get it at http://www.armadillorun.com), "Alphabet".

I would have thought that, but the level I saw it on wasn't in the alphabet level set. It was in A1r.
