Details that people might forget, don't notice or just don't know about Life is Strange

Post any details that people might not discover or even see on first playthroughs of Life is Strange.
For example: If you don't look at any of the missing persons posters for Rachel Amber once you go outside the school Max will automatically pick up one of them from the ground and look at it.
(Not sure if I should put this here as there is a Life is Strange thread, but it's more for story elements than it is for the smaller details).

Max's last name is Caulfield which is referencing Holden's last name from the book Catcher in the Rye. (There is a poster in her dorm that references the book to.)
Chloes licence plate looks like it says twin peaks but some of the letters are covered in mud
Warren has a crush on Max.
When you go with Chloe to the lighthouse, behind the tiny building there's some strange glyphs.
Max even gives a weird comment about them.
Now that I think of it those are ancient greek symbols, at least some are, maybe someone that likes cracking codes could decipher the message? I might have a go but I dont know ancient greek and im not even that good at maths so I dont know the names of most of those symbols
People didn't notice that? Lol
I decided to state something obvious. :P
This is interesting:

Like literally tree of those are Greek symbols. I doubt its meant to reference Greek.
The three greek symbols are Omega, Delta and Pi, which doesn't mean anything or spell out anything.
There is a meme on the back of the rearview mirror in Chloe's pickup.
Im not claiming to be an expert but im sure its a crackable code. I think it has some meaning I worked out the codes in murdered soul suspect, it was a complete waste of time though, it just seems to deliberate to not have a meaning, maybe later there will be a key fragment
Im just saying it's 100% not ancient greek, I did my degree in it :P
Chloe's front license plate on her shitty truck is TWN PKS. A reference to Twin Peaks, a popular crime drama t.v. show that had a very strange cast of characters kinda relating to the people in this game.
No offense, but why is there a topic like this here, on the Telltale website? They don't have a community section on the website for this game?
They don't have a forum on DONTNOD's official site and I can't find an "official" forum for Life is Strange so I thought this would be the next best place. It's also a lot easier for me to track information as well, so that's a bonus.
EDIT: Before Square Enix put out an official forum.
He didn't claim it was greek. He said some of the symbols were greek, and you agreed with him. The only claim he made was that it was an actual code for something, so your post was irrelevant.
Oh okay.
The glyph/symbols are a reference to a book one of DONTNOD Ent.’s founders, Alain Damasio, wrote (La Horde du Contrevent/The Horde of the Counterwind).
I've never heard of the book before, but the title of the book seems to be a dead give away.
I already said that. I guess it was pretty unmissable
A odd sounding book! I dont know if there is a english version but if there is im sure it would lose its poetry in translation
Well there is a forum on Steam, but, of course, thats not really an official one, although its a good place to discuss the game.
True, but I don't think Steam's forum layout works very well for this kind of thread.
Yep
He said 'I don't know Ancient Greek', implying that knowledge of the language would help in translating the glyphs. I was stating that it won't.
It implies that he didn't know greek, he also said "im not even that good at maths so I dont know the names of most of those symbols" but that doesn't mean he thinks the code is mathematic oriented either. All he said is that he thinks it's a crackable code.
No, it states he doesn't know greek. The implication is that knowing greek would be useful, otherwise he would not have stated it thus.
That is what it states, incorrect word choice. That is not the implication though, the best implication for your side is that he implies the code is partly greek (seeing as he points out mathematical symbols only substantiates this), still making your post irrelevant.
Literally none of your comment shows the concept that him implying he needs understanding of greek to be useful false.
If he didn't think knowing greek would be useful in understanding the code then his comment literally serves no function and wouldn't be present. I was sayig that knowing Greek wouldn't help remotely.
I didnt think it was written in greek I thought it was a code. I thought maybe the few characters that were in greek could be easier to translate to a letter for example alpha=a codes like this usually have a couple of symbols that are easier to decipher than others making cracking them fun and possible for normal people. Okay?

Why are you consistently so rude? Have I killed a member of your family or something?
Again, it hasn't been answered. Literally no knowledge of greek is required at all. It has greek elements in that it has three meaningless disordered greek letters, but no knowledge of Greek would help with it still.
Until you have cracked this perhaps crackable code you can't say that, as Squishy Cthulhu pointed out.
But again, better luck next time.
I most definitely can say that the answer will have absolutely nothing to do with Greek accidence.
Again, why are you being so rude?
You can say it, but that doesn't make it true, or even meaningful. You can't possibly confirm or deny a parameter of a puzzle (Greek being a part of the code in this instance) without A. Having the answer B. Having a way to attempt to find the answer, or C. Even having the fucking knowlede base for cofiguring a plausible (all plausible) way(s) to solve the puzzle in the first place. And despite whatever degree you have in the linguistics field you can't change that. Until you can confirm what the puzzle is, or confirm that the puzzle does not exist, you cannot confirm greek lettering has nothing to do with the puzzle. End of conversation.
Last time: Your post was irrelevant. Better luck next time.
Considering we actually know what the code is from, yes I can.
Last time: Why are you being needlessly rude towards me? Have you had a bad experience with Greek? Did Euripides poison your water? Did Homer piss in your garden?
How does knowing where the code is from help you confirm or deny anything? By "from" are you referring to a game, a small town in a game, a french gaming company?
I don't feel strongly one way or another about Greek.
Then why the rudeness?
By 'from' I'm referring to the book the code is lifted from, as stated below. It's an easter egg.
So then that's still irrelevant. Are you going to sit here and try gasping for air through a shrinking straw? I know that the Hindenburg came from Germany, but that doesn't speak in the slightest as to why it went up in flames. Likewise knowing that the symbols came from a previous story doesn't speak about the parameters set for the possible code.
No, as in, the code was created for that story. The same glyphs. It's not to do with Ancient Greek. It's a fact.
The fact that is was made in/for something else is inconsequential.
Not when the code has already been explained and we know it not to come from Ancient Greek.
