Seems we're both met with the same stalemate.But hey, if a linux developer can get laid after picking up another copy of the matrix then I suppose anything is possible. ;)

It makes me happy that PopCap didn't freak out over someone editing the game, they actually rewarded them. That's fantastic.

He should have just got the Astraware Bejeweled which has a Valentine's version with stuff like this built in...<a class="user" href="http://www.astraware.com/company/press/index.php?item=42">http://www.astraware.com/company/press/index.php?i ...</a>"For a limited period from 7th February to 6th March, Bejeweled Valentine's Day Edition will be available for download from the Astraware website. This special edition of Bejeweled features all the gem-swapping fun of the original version, but with some loved-up extra features. The game board is enhanced with sparkly red heart-shaped jewels and the game includes a 'Valentines' Special' option to help shy romantics get the message across to their Bejeweled-addicted sweetheart. The 'Valentines' Special' has two preset questions, or the user can create a personal message in their own unique way."

Lucky for the publishers they didn't say anything, otherwise there would have been media outrage (Creative anyone)?

Too funny. Just proves that nerdy hackerz can woo the ladies too. ;D

Very good idea, woulda been better if she clicked no, it uninstalls the game and locks her out.

I say don't get married unless you're 100% positive she's the right one for you!
