Using a Video Game to Propose

I have heard of the craziest thing to propose to a girl but hacking a video game to do it is really something that will stand out in my book. Popping the question using a video game is simply brilliant and if I were in the girl’s shoes, flattery is an understatement.

There are a lot of people out there who want to make that special moment significant. Some choose expensive restaurants, a baseball game intermission and others even use decorative food to say the right words. And now we have hackers coming with a new innovative way to propose marriage. What will people think of next!

For computer programmer Bernie Peng, it obviously seemed like the perfect idea. He spent a month reprogramming his girlfriend Tammy Liu’s favorite video game, gem-matching hit Bejeweled, so that it would display the all-important message when she reached a certain score.

As Peng told Newark’s Star-Ledger: “I thought it was pretty cool, in a nerdy way.”
