Indie devs incorporate 'Edge' into titles to lure out Tim Langdell
Indie developers are having a little fun at the expense of trademark troll Tim Langdell. As TouchArcade reports, several devs have created mock games to get under the skin of the abusive IP bugaboo, who pops up like a rabid prairie dog when a company uses the word "edge" in a video game. In response to Langdell's attack on Killer Edge Racing, several indie devs have jokingly renamed their games. Fez is now Fedge and Critter Crunch has vomited out Critter Credge.
In their posts on the name changes, the developers use the word "edge" as many times as is edgeingly possible to edge in there with edginess. Inspired by Langdell, we are currently discussing with our attorneys if we can trademark the words "war," "warfare," ... oh wait, "Mario," yes! That's where the infringement bucks really are.

At the risk of sounding very corny:
That's pretty edgy.

Someone needs to take it a step further, create a game whose main character has a name like Langdell Pennysworth... and title the game Langdell's Edge.

How to tell when a site is complete illegitimate? It's advertised as being "100% legit"

I think the only question this raises is exactly how far Tim Langdell has wEDGEd his head up his own ass. I've got a feeling you're going to need climbing gear to go and find it.
