Here’s part of a press release describing Square Enix’s proposed take over bid for Tecmo. As news goes this is about as interesting as, well as the last thing Gordon Brown said – and we all remember what that was.
What is interesting is what the new name of the company will be. Oh, sure it’s easy to say Square Enix Tecmo, doofus. But, come on we’ve had the fairly imaginative Squeenix bandied about it before, so what’s a good and funny new name assuming Tecmo is taken over?
Answers in the comments below, and if nofi’s got anything good lying around TSA Towers there will be a prize for the best name – although you’ll have to be UK-based to receive that.
Go on then, get to it.
