Marriage proposals via video games aren'texactlynew, but they're still clever -- and usually cute. Last Thursday, Brad Smith proposed to his girlfriend of five years using a hacked version of Super Mario World, placing coins in world 1-1 to spell out, "Will you marry me?" Cute, right? But we have to question Brad's filming of the occasion, because, if we didn't know better, we'd think the couple was being watched by a serial killer hiding behind their couch. You can see what we mean after the break.
Seriously -- tell us that, when the camera pulls back to catch Brad on his knee, ring in hand, you don't want to yell out, "Look out! There's someone else in the room!" Or maybe it's just the close proximity to Halloween that's got us all on edge. Still ... Brad, if you're reading this, please drop us a line to let us know you're alright?
5 years seems like a reasonable time to wait for marriage. A relationship needs to be put through its paces and a test of time before making that kind of commitment. Too many people like to dive into it and then run away from it once the going gets tough.
Of course, I'm the silly fellow who still looks at marriage as a true commitment that should last one's lifetime with few exceptions...
massmass I would propose to you right now! however you're not a women and it would defeat the purpose of the point I'm trying to make here, and that point is i respect what you just said and agree completely!
Depending on when they got together, 5 years isn't that bad of a time to wait. I was with a girl for 3 years while in college, and we both knew that getting engaged while we were both in school wasn't a good idea. That and she broke up with me.
But yeah, I was expecting more excitement, maybe they decided to film it after it actually happened, so the reaction wasnt as candid.
I'm real happy for you Super Mario World, and imma let you finish, but Chrono Trigger had one of the best hacked rom proposals of all time! OF ALL TIME!
True to that. I wish my wife would like playing videogames. I still have hopes people. We just bought our son a Wii for his birthday and while I pitch for the idea, I had a secret motive to use the wii to finally win her over the videogames. Been trying for 10 years without luck so far...
"Hey guys I'm going to propose to my girlfriend in a dark basement and have a video game ask the question, I'm the best boyfriend ever she'll have to say yes." is what he was thinking which is just disturbing.
I love video games but it's not my life as is for this guy. I can even imagine their honeymoon on PlayStation Home dry humping one another. It's one thing to be creative but this is just plain stupid.
