- fhernand, on 04/16/2008, -5/+296he got the easy one, I would have to hack a frigging shopping mall
- bossm4n, on 04/16/2008, -3/+243Good thing her favorite game wasn't Crysis.
- Pixelante, on 04/16/2008, -6/+209Lucky for him that the software house producing the game (and their publishers) took it the right way. Under the DMCA they could have prosecuted him, have him arrested and his properties seized, condemned him and all of his descendants up to the 7th generation to debt slavery and ultimately executed him by waterboarding with nitric acid.
- tototest19, on 04/16/2008, -9/+198Source code or fake...
- 7stitches, on 04/16/2008, -1/+123good idea, now all i need is a girlfriend
- ChOas, on 04/16/2008, -0/+106He didn't reprogram it, he wrote it himself, for the DS.
Link to the story on his own blog: http://www.xanga.com/p3ng/635897016/a-nerdy-propos ... - mal1964, on 04/16/2008, -8/+105After they get married he wont be able to play video games.
- Stavrosian, on 04/16/2008, -2/+77And that's merely the foreplay.
- chandan333, on 04/16/2008, -1/+68There is no Picture. I can't see any.
- kotrin, on 04/16/2008, -1/+68i believe in you
- alukima, on 04/16/2008, -5/+63I hope she knows how lucky she is. I hope someone reprograms COD4 to ask me to marry them one day.
- badenglishihave, on 04/16/2008, -4/+60male guy;
female girl;
bool isEngaged = guy.propose(girl); // will return false if guy.isJerk = true or girl.hasDoubtsAboutOurRelationship = true
if(isEngaged){
female child1 = guy + girl; // baby making session number one
while(girl.pregnant || guy.financiallyUnstable){}
male child2 = guy + girl; // baby making session number two
guy.bankAccount.withdrawDollars(10000000); // subtract $10,000,000 from cumulative life savings to support family
girl.weightLbs += 50;
for(;;){} // live out life forever in one monotonous cycle
}

guy.liveHappilyEverAfter();
} - sherbertbones, on 04/16/2008, -1/+54Just push a cow in front of her with "Marry Me" strapped on it
- Professr, on 04/16/2008, -0/+45Perhaps it only asks her if she *doesn't* spend more than a certain amount, eh?
- wilf_brim, on 04/16/2008, -0/+36This was a hack on the DS. Moves up about 3 places in the "nerd cred" scale. Very impressive.
- amoirae, on 04/16/2008, -4/+40What game will the divorce decree be in? Chuzzle?
- MrFurious2k, on 04/16/2008, -1/+36I recommend proposing at the Red Lobster while someone's children are screaming nearby. That's the way I did it and dammit, it should be good enough for everyone.
- agimat, on 04/16/2008, -1/+35Maybe thats why they're flying him to Seattle.
/It's a trap! - bonjourmr, on 04/25/2008, -11/+45I bet they chat all the time on yahoo messenger.
- ilves7, on 04/16/2008, -0/+33When she buys a certain amount of crap ($ wise) the credit card machine asks her?
- maisteri, on 04/16/2008, -4/+35but only in the free USA
- KaneElson, on 04/16/2008, -0/+30It would be a lot easier to create a custom map for a fps than to reprogram bejewled, just because they are designed for that.
- Klarth, on 04/16/2008, -0/+29jesus christ that was ***** terrible
- umerok, on 04/16/2008, -0/+29I wouldn't want to propose on medium settings :(
- KaneElson, on 04/16/2008, -1/+27Prop up the question? Is it un-even?
I have only heard of 'Pop the question' - daithiocoinnigh, on 04/16/2008, -0/+25then she is not worth marriage, its a geek filter
- objectcode, on 04/16/2008, -1/+24i can only imagine some geek started reprogramming cod4 after reading this comment
- baylat, on 04/16/2008, -2/+25Or else he would have to reprogram it so that sharks would fly and form the word "Will you marry me?" Then eat her.
- Myztry, on 04/16/2008, -8/+29"and PopCap, the Seattle company that makes 'Bejeweled,'"
PopCap is just a marketing/distribution company. Bejeweled was marketed by Reflexive way before it went to PopCap.
I know it's picking straws. But out there somewhere are the creators loosing kudos to a marketing company. And that's not right... - Sillywombat, on 04/16/2008, -1/+21Dugg for geeky love.
- spaceddaisy, on 04/16/2008, -0/+20Some of us do ;)
- Dragular, on 04/16/2008, -1/+20"Thank you, Nerdling! But your Fiancee is in Another Chapel!"
- inactive, on 04/16/2008, -1/+20Where is the profit? He isn't selling her dude, he's marrying her.
- Zihuatanejo, on 04/16/2008, -0/+19In return, she has to come down the aisle to the Mario theme.
- quisph, on 04/16/2008, -0/+17I liked the response from PopCap Games. I never would have thought of using them to PopQuestion.
- zombies187, on 04/16/2008, -0/+16Getting drunken anal for hacking flash would make a good story too. Getting a marriage proposal for your drunken anal skills , however, is full of win.
- dood, on 04/16/2008, -1/+17Only if the couple agrees to license their reproductive material under the GPL.
- majortom1981, on 04/16/2008, -0/+16Yea like ChOas said he made a homebrew version for DS and used that to propose. So it was actually more involved then what the digg description states
- funkyjunk3, on 04/16/2008, -0/+15http://www.craigslist.org/ > personals > women seeking men
- Rowan187, on 04/16/2008, -5/+18Well there's something you don't digg everyday...
- Thoku, on 04/16/2008, -2/+15GPL wedding... I'm sure Stallman would perform the ceremony.
- subliminalurge, on 04/16/2008, -0/+13No. Don't.
- kgleeson, on 04/16/2008, -1/+13PopCap are the original creators of Bejeweled
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bejewled - x0epyon0x, on 04/16/2008, -18/+30Why has a picture of an Audi R8 been submitted with this story?
- PueSi, on 04/16/2008, -8/+19I demand being buried further.
- moush, on 04/16/2008, -1/+12Wow, you're a horrible husband, 20 bucks says she's going to have an affair instead of going to her parents.
- nodeuces, on 04/16/2008, -4/+15No truth to the rumor it said "Me Love you long time"
- ep53, on 04/16/2008, -2/+13Before i clicked to read it, something deep down in my heart told me he was going to be Asian....
- thedudeknows, on 04/16/2008, -2/+12Lucky she didn't quit playing the game before she reached the intended score and removed it form her HDD. Also you gotta give the guy credit it took him a month.
- YamiJim, on 04/16/2008, -5/+15This guy just ripped off the guy who did this with tetris for the game boy, Re programing a PCB now THATS true love, hacking flash is more for drunken anal, then for love and marriage.
