I read today that a “hacker” spent a month re-programing his wife’s favorite video game so that when she hit a certain score, a message would pop up asking her to marry him. 

A couple of points on this….

The Geek in me says “wow, that is pretty cool.” 

The bigger Geek in me says “holy shit, his wife plays enough video games to think this is romantic and even said yes when she saw it, thus thinking it was a romantic gesture…..awesome.”

My wife doesn’t play video games much….unless you count Guitar Hero (which is cool enough for me).  However, even if I somehow got her to play a game long enough to achieve some sort of high score that would have un-locked a secret “will you marry me” message, she would have kicked me in the balls and told me to come up with something more creative…

On a side note, the manufacturer of the game (Bejeweled) said they are going to give a game away to everybody at the wedding as a party favor.  I thought that was a nice touch.
