not as impressive as the story floating around the interwebs yesterday about the guy who hacked bewjeweled to say will you marry me with a doamond ring animation that triggered when his now fiancee got to a certain score. Popcap games are flying them to seatle and giving every guest a copy of the game as a wedding favour.

I don't care

I just want them to bring out smash bros on the wii in the uk, we've been waiting too bloody long.

Seems like a good way to ensure your future wife is geeky enough. Make sure that you put the message somewhere in the game that is hard to miss, but deep enough in to the game.

The only problem for me would be getting my Wife off sims long enough (and the fact that we are married)...

I did propose on a tropical island...

...under a volcanic waterfool. More fool me. If only I'd had a Wii (admittedly, it hadn't been invented at that point - N64 then), I could have saved myself a few bob.

Good luck to him (and her) though. I hope that they get that life upgrade they've always wanted.

Right...

So what they're not reporting is that the real thing he did for their engagement was to get it into the gaming press.

Texas Hold 'Em

The only way this would work for me would be if I planted a "will you marry me" prompt inside the Texas Hold 'Em game on my other half's DS.

I guess she'd then have to think hard whether to raise or fold...hopefully she'd let me Poker.
