   @aeva I remember playing the original Call of Duty and coming across "grafiti" in the form of Arabic script on a wall. It took me forever to figure that the word was just "Infinity Ward" spelt using Arabic characters.

     graffiti in video games almost always completely lacks the panache of real world graffiti, but if I were a graffiti artist I'd be tempted to copy some of the really baffling tags from games sometimes for irony. like hell yeah let's just write the word "crime" on the side of a real building in extremely clear bubble text lol
