As male gamers, we don't exactly have a sterling record with the ladies. Between Counter-Strike tournaments and message board feuds, we rarely have time to perfect our social skills. But that doesn't mean we should give up on women entirely! Instead of showing our muscles and popping our collars, we should apply our geeky know-how to charm the women we love — a mentality that this YouTube user employed to great effect.
Known only as "TheRealPfhreak," this gamer digitally recreated Mount Baker, the site of his first date with his girlfriend, inside the world of Chrono Trigger. Toward the end of his user-created segment, his likeness appears in-game and proposes marriage.
When she stumbled through the game for the first time, she encountered a masked knight who retells an eerily familiar story — the tale of their relationship. While déjà vu didn't strike her immediately, hearing the lyrics to her favorite song in a 15-year-old game shocked her. At the end of the masked figure's tale, her name appears on screen accompanied by the phrase "Will you marry me?" Fortunately for this excessively nerdy fellow, his girlfriend said, "Yes!"
You can view in-game footage of the user-created level here — although the proposal doesn't occur until approximately six minutes in. If there are any exceptions to the laws which prevent hacking and modding, this should be one of them!
