Question: What's better than playing co-op games with your boyfriend or girlfriend?
Answer: Playing co-op games with your husband or wife!
Embedding your proposal in a violent shooter game seems to be a surefire way to get your favorite co-op companion to say, "yes"... It makes sense: what could be more romantic than your initials scrawled in a heart on a safe room wall in Left 4 Dead? Extra points if you place it next to "All infected must die!"
All sarcasm aside, we're happy for any couple that can make it through Dead Air on Advanced, must less A Lifetime Of Marriage on Expert. This article at Hawty McBloggy will make you smile as you read how AJ Smoothplayer modified Left 4 Dead PC and popped the question on his blog. Of course, she said, "yes". In fact, she said, "YES! - on 1/17 OMG I <3 YOU".
Now that our co-op couple has decided to tie the knot, we have to wonder how they're planning the wedding... Can you order flowers on Live Marketplace? Is Rob Zombie available for the reception?

The talented and tasteful guys at Ctrl+Alt+Del worked up this beauty to show their love for our 2008 Co-Op Game of the Year...

Friggin' awesome.
And finally: Stephen Totilo from the MTV Multiplayer blog attended the first-ever wedding officiated by...Master Chief.
The bride entered to the “Halo 3″ menu music. The backdrop of the ceremony was a basic recreation of the “Halo” map Ivory Tower. The groom had his “Halo” emblem on his tie; hers was on her dress sleeves. Their wedding favors were made to look like plasma grenades. And instead of being pronounced “man and wife,” Desirai and John were declared “teammates for life.”
Calling themselves "A Match Made in Halo", John and Desirai were given Recon armor by Bungie as a wedding gift, as well as a box full of Halo swag from Microsoft.
Although they are not the couple from the famed Forge proposal, I think they took the cake...the Master Chief helmet cake, that is...

Not the actual wedding cake.
Here you thought that gaming was just for nerds. Absolutely not! Gaming is also for nerds' wives.
Finally if you are looking to find that someone special, perhaps you could use the recently launched Game-4-a-date service. What is it? It's like eHarmony for gamers.
See you online!

Just wait till people start gary modding them.
OH SNAP! lol you guys are brutal.
Bah, I wouldn't have said it if I didn't think he had a good sense of humor.
You never know he could be one of those guys who goes postal, just be warned his attacks usually come from the North.
All kidding aside JG is a blast to play with on gears 2.
"read how AJ Smoothplayer modified Left 4 Dead PC"
He didn't. He took screenshots of the 360 version of the game, posted them on his blog with comments and then just photoshopped the last one to add the message. She said yes in the blog comments, not in game.
Still great stuff, just clearing up the story details.
The blog post doesn't actually say whether he created in an-game spray, or Photoshopped it. I looked at the hi-res image, and it looks like he made a spray and took a screenshot -- the image even still has the "auto-name".
I miss my 360....
...cause then I would grief the heck out of you two!!

Props to anyone who can get their significant other to play coop with them, don't ask me why but for some reason l4d made my wife a coop enthusiast.
Stories like this almost make me wish she was into games before I met her... but then I wouldn't get the wonderful meals and stuff she likes to prepare cus she would be hoggin the controller and I would be stuck heating up chef boyardee and making grilled cheese sammichs.
