This guy found a unique way to propose to his girlfriend, he hacked Bejeweled so a ring and a marriage proposal would show up on the screen when she reached a certain score. PopCap Games, the company that makes Bejeweled, filed charges against the man and had him arrested. Just kidding. This was PopCap’s response:

"Most video game companies would frown on people manipulating their games," said Garth Chouteau, a spokesman for PopCap. "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 favors to the wedding guests.

Thanks to Chris Price for the link.
 
that made me LOL !!! :D
too close to call!! the jail is not romantic place :eek:
 
"PopCap Games, the company that makes Bejeweled, filed charges against the man and had him arrested."

LOL that was funny.
 
I was ready to be pissed, but saw the joke, then was pissed again. ;) So the WoW modder gets sued, but this guy doesn't? What other bits of code has he been changing they don't know about? :D
 
I laughed, then cried, then....laughed again. It was a taster's choice moment.

Good Find.
 
No edit button. grr

I guess PopCap figured he will get enough punishment, they decided not to sue? Half his assets and a lifetime of Hell should be enough... ;)
 
Yeah, they're going to wait for them to combine their net worth, thus making the payout larger.

PROFIT!!! :D
 
This has to be the best marriage proposal method I have ever read about. Props to the guy for his ingenuity.
 
Be hilarious if they freaked the guy out a little. Have him arrested with a SWAT team and manhandled to the police station where he's mercilessly processed and yelled at, and then finding PopCap employees and police officers waiting in his jail cell with his fiance with cakes and everything yelling SURPRISE!

then of course release him after the party's over lol
 
It just didn't feel right without some copyright woven in now did it? :D

You wouldn't try to find time in a month to plan out a better preposal than just handing somebody a ring one night during a commerical while watching American Idol?

He was being orginal.

mahahaha, that's fricking genius

Really original way to propose, aaaannnddd, makes sure your future wife is good at games.

He'd have never proposed if she never reached a decent score :D
 
The backround music in bejeweled is copyrighted by the RIAA :O

Love that game at work lol
 
I proposed to my wife while I was taking a dump! No BS! I came home from the store with mad runs one day. I had bought the ring and I hid it in a pair of pink fuzzy slippers. Well I had to go real bad. So I took the whole bag to the restroom with me so she wouldn't snoop about. Next thing you know she was hovering over me wondering what I got at the store. I tried my best to get her to leave but you know women. So I just said fuck it, and gave her the bag. She said. "WTF am I gonna do with a pair of fuzzy slippers?" I said. "Try them on! We were married 1 year later on the 4th of July. Talk about bathroom humor. Can't ask for a more perfect women. She totally ruined my plan. I think women can smell diamonds..Even through POO!!!:D Seriously! I'm not kidding.:(
