Man proposes in video game

April 16, 2008

Computer programmer, Bernie Peng just did a very romantic idea - propose to his girlfriend, Tammy Liu via her favorite computer game Bejeweled. He hacked and reprogrammed the hit gem-matching game so that it would display the all-important message when she reached a certain score.

Did she agree? Fortunately for Peng, she did, and the pair plan a September wedding. Popcap, the company responsible for Bejeweled (and consequently untold hours of lost productivity in offices around the world) is flying the couple out for a Seattle honeymoon, and supplying copies of Bejeweled to hand out as wedding favors. A word of advice to any guests, though: don't sit next to two other people wearing the same color, or all three of you will vanish.
