Secret Message/clue in New portal trailer?

[Euhan01]

For those that don't now theres a new portal trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGPIQ72-2Vg&feature=feedu

Pause the video at 32 seconds in (might take a couple of attempts.) Theres a wierd man, and some numbers on the screen.

Easter egg? Clue? Insert speculation below.

We'll just go ahead and assume he's the Minister of Hype.

The face is what I'm assuming they're refering to with the line "what idiot picked y..." Can't make out the last word, but I think its you.

 

[Dorian]

Spoiler: Here is what he's talking about

As for what it means.
Not. A. Clue.

 

[Rarhnor]

Maybe it's the idiot, who came up with all those silly sentry names

 

[Caligulust]

Probably part of the ARG. Assuming it's anything.

Put the tin foil hats back on, then back over to the ARg wiki.

 

[Urgh76]

Don't think it means anything, HOWEVER, when the turrets are firing at the P-body and Atlas, if you look above the turrets, there's an egg about a new door mechanism

 

[PatheticBarrel]

Thats a mathematical formula...

Spoiler: Here is what he's talking about

Blank+Alpha*16
"blank"*13

The numbers may need to be put in the first blank...

It's definitely a message.

Nice catch, musta watched this four times and didn't notice anything. I can't wait to see how this developes.

The "..." could be referring to the protagonist (I forget her name), as she doesn't speak.

Which would be fine if only it were released on the first.

It's chell.

Try reading the comments of the video, many people post their ideas of it.

One theory, by some dude who ran it through some decoder:

"Here's Da Beens, Dougtato: You found many.Find the rest.MiKaXsUsUs FTW"

No clue, not that curious.

 

[standokan]

It isn't an eater egg, just a bunch of symbols and numbers trown together to look sciency.

Thanks. I could not get the thing to pause at the right spot. Knowing Valve, it has to relate to something, but same as you. No idea.
