What is the origin of "Frictional Games"?
So I was trying to come up with a name for my "indie dev" name and began to wonder...

How did Frictional Games come up with their name? Is there a meaning behind it? Is it a secret?

Any ideas?

Quote: Frictional is just that it sort of sounds like Fictional and is related to physics.

Taken from their reddit post (which is really fun to read through).

I loved reading about that, and yes... I did check. I don't think I saw any (I'm not sure if I should feel relieved or disappointed that they didn't put them in, because it would have been hilarious).

Urgh, they browse reddit?

Would be nice if they came over to 4chan-/v/ sometime, we like them alot over there, and we're tired of seeing our mentally retarded spawn having all the indie devs over for talk.
