Rejected Titles for FEAR 2
Remember the name search for the FEAR sequel? Well, the contest is now over, but the hilarity doesn’t end there. Monolith sent over some rejected titles to IGN, resulting in an extremely hilarious article, if you have the time to read through it. Here’s a teensy-weensy bit:
Much like William Shakespeare, many of our fans felt that the English language as we know it was not adequate enough to convey their ideas – so they decided to make up new, better words, to fully express their thoughts. Devon C. of Illinois explains that although his new word “Parthxenophobia” is long, “it rolls off the tongue very nicely and it sounds cool as hell.” Devon “Wordsmith” C. clarifies that “it’s not a word you might find in the English dictionary because it’s a combination of two words: Parthenophobia being the fear of little girls/virgins, and as everyone knows Xenophobia being the fear of strangers or foreigners. I can assure you, you won’t find a better name out there!” Merriam-Webster is going to be busy updating their dictionaries with all of the awesome new words created for this contest.
The winner is yet to be named.
