What is the origin of "Frictional Games"?

[Statyk]

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?

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).

Haha, awesome =] I could definitely see why. Also pleasant reading about if the pigs should have anuses or not. lol The sucky part?

I'm going to check subconsciously next time I see one >>

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.
