The world of hardcore gaming can be lonely. With all those hours glued to a couch fragging people online or running around on raids, it can be difficult to get out there and meet new people. Some gamers have turned to online dating sites to find their other half but there seems to be a new trend in the world of gaming. With the constant social interactions that multiplayer games offer, bonds have started to form and sometimes this can lead to players becoming more than teammates.

On November 3, 2007, an Xbox Live user with the gamertag “Moviesign” used Halo 3’s multiplayer mode in a most unusual way. He wasn’t cheating in any way, but he used the to propose to his girlfriend of over two years, “furtive penguin.”

According to the story, “Moviesign” invited his girlfriend to a multiplayer game that was supposed to be just a two-on-two match using a level created with The Forge. They started out and “Moviesign” asked “furtive penguin” to follow him to a place where he had hidden an energy sword. When they got there they found not only one but multiple energy swords, but along with those there were other weapons (both human and Covenant) carefully arranged on the floor in a pattern that formed the words “MARRY ME?” The answer was yes and they posted an image capturing the moment.

I’m sure Bungie didn’t see that one coming but I guess we will be seeing different and innovative uses for this system more frequently. Congrats to both of them and hats off to “Moviesign” for the most creative use of The Forge yet.
