Man proposes on girl?s videogame
Hiding a ring in a bouquet just wasn?t enough when a computer programmer decided to pop the question. Bernie Peng reprogrammed Tammy Li?s favourite video game, Bejeweled, in such a way that a ring and a marriage proposal would show up on the screen when she reached a certain score.
Li did reach the needed score ? and said yes. The word of the romantic feat last December has filtered out worldwide after Peng, a financial software programmer, posted details on his blog. The reprogramming was a tricky task and took him a month. ?I thought it was pretty cool, in a nerdy way,? Peng told. The couple plan to marry over Labour Day weekend, and PopCap, the Seattle company that makes Bejeweled, will fly the couple to Seattle as part of their honeymoon. ?Most video game companies would frown on people manipulating their games,? said Garth Chouteau, a spokesman for the Seattle company. ?But it won him a woman. As a bunch of geeks we have to say?, Bernie, hats off to you. The company is also supplying copies of Bejeweled to hand out as favours to the wedding guests?
