Such a lucky woman! and apparently Claptrap is a little lonely...

That was Simply Brilliant. Class A act from claptrap right there. Gearbox knows how to hook up their fans when it counts.

Soon enough, proposing through a game will beomce cliche

Maybe I'm saddened that my super hero status means, I can never get married as I have a sworn duty to swiftly satisfy women in need.

I don't think you understand what it means to statisfy a woman.

Wow, that's fantastic! It's one thing for a guy to do it himself, but for Gearbox to actually back him up and do him a huge favour like this is just amazing.

It was also funny as hell.

This was really nice to see... a week ago... on kotaku. I don't mind joystiq referencing the story, but a week is sloppy, c'mon joystiq, i use to use you for all my latest gaming news.

@Tezz - I've got some news for you concerning a pair of new Playstation tablet devices. More on this in a week.

@TheDarkWayne - Someone sent me a URL shortened version that went there once, just days after their redesign, when I wasn't yet aware of the horror.

It was like the Porygon episode of Pokemon playing on an Imax screen in front of me, while LSD laced spoonfuls of marmite were being jammed down my throat.

I only made it out alive because at the last moment, some kind bastard shouted "go to .ca, it's not shit up yet" from on high. My mind was melted a bit by the inane articles on pointless bullshit, but I came out otherwise intact.

A week ago?
The youtube video of his proposal was uploaded on the 24th (its the 26th here) and the claptrap video was uploaded on the 23rd.

I know some things go by fast (and I'd know), but 3 days does not consitute a week!

If anyone doesn't catch it, the first thing he says,

"Wants to take things with his girlfriend to the next level"

"What? Like an-"

It's kind of hard to hear what he said.

@yingerman Oddly, the actual proposal was sort of a letdown after the awesome Claptrap vid.

Now Gearbox needs to do this again once Duke Nukem Forever comes out. That'd be even more epic.

Pretty sure there's no girl on earth so desperate that she'd accept a proposal with that theme.

I've wanted to play this game for a while now, just never got around to picking it up. But if this is what Gearbox will do for their fans, I think I'll go ahead and buy it later today. Simply awesome Gearbox!
