Romantic Geek Proposes Via Homebrew DS Game

by Terrence O'Brien, posted Mar 7th 2008 at 6:06PM

We have a new winner for geekiest marriage proposal ever. Proposing in 'Second Life' and 'World of Warcraft' is so 2007. Now you uber dorks will have to top Bernie, a Xanga user who wrote a version of 'Bejeweled' from scratch for his girlfriend's Nintendo DS.

When his girlfriend, Tammy, reached a certain score, the screen cleared and ring made out of the game's namesake jewels lowered on to the screen. Of course, waiting near by with a ring, was Bernie.

Congratulations to you both on the engagement! And Bernie, you're an unbelievable dork. And we love you for that.

I like it! Dorky, but romantic. That obviously took him some time to put that together. Good for him. And her.

I think it is great!! He obviously knew which game she liked to play and paid enough attention to her to know what she likes. What an effort she'll never forget
