In the small and not terribly relevant world of videogame journalists and PR professionals, it’s no secret that I’ve fancied Tiffany Spencer for well over a decade. Her irresistible charm, overwhelming intellect, sparkly eyes, and alluring smile — any sane straight man would be attracted to her! At GDC 2012, we talked about getting married in that celebrity couple way, so that we could raise both of our profiles. If Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian can do it, why can’t we?!?
The problem is choosing a celebrity-couple name. X-Play Blair Herter and Jessica Chobot are affectionately known as Blobot. That’s pretty tough to beat. Tiffany likes Tifadilla, but our dear friend Perrin Kaplan suggested Padcer. Which celebrity-couple name do you think is best? Kindly vote in today’s all-important poll and explain your answer in the comments section (please)!
Update 15-March 2021: The poll is now closed. The previous winner has been discarded in favor of a most excellent suggestion from bsukenyan that was seconded nine years later by Chris Donahue — Spendilla! So in an alternate universe where Tiffany Spencer is crazy enough to marry a schlub like me, Spendilla’s love would shine brighter than any star.
How about Raycer or Tiffmond?
I think "Raycer" is pretty cool.
By the way, I don't think that you should be comparing yourselves to Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries. That would be like comparing yourself with a pile of dirt. The only difference is that actual dirt has more of a personality… like the type found on a baseball diamond. Now that's some fancy dirt!

Raycer is completely cool! Also, I wish I could rebound like Humphries.
Yeah, I vote for neither and am a fan of Raycer.
I voted for Padcer, but I like Raycer better, so that gets my vote!
Rape a fany
Raycer sounds cool. Better then what I thought of.
One of my friends suggested Spencilla. That sounds cool too!
I was just about to suggest Spendilla!!
What about Spilla?
Padcer doesn't appeal to me at all. The gamer in me voted for Tifadilla because it incorporates an FF character name. Raycer IS cool, but I dont' like the fact that it's only two syllables. Two syllables just doesn't seem right, it needs to have more. Whatever name you choose, I wish you the best in the impending nuptials.
I just learned something- my entire life I've thought that word was spelled 'nuptuals', and pronounced 'nup-shoe-uls'. I was wrong. Good day then!
Heh. You and me both.
