by Vinnk - 05.25.07

Forgive me, this has nothing to do with video games, but I still wanted to share it all with you. Last night I asked my girlfriend of two and a half years to become my wife. To accept that while I may be a huge geek and a video game addict, I will also love her for the rest of my life. She said, “yes” and made me the happiest man in the world. There is still along road ahead and many challenges to face. But now I have my “Player 2” so I know I’ll be ok.

Dude, all the best but I thought you already were the happiest man back when you got your power glove…
Vrikis - 05.25.07 1:55 pm
That is great! I wish you both the best in the future.

YAY!!!!!!
electro^plankton - 05.25.07 2:12 pm
I see on the picture that you popped the question by writting it on a plate. I’ve never seen that before.
Evan W - 05.25.07 2:18 pm
HOLY… Vinnk proposed!
Awesome, Vinnk. Just awesome. Congrats.
Volt - 05.25.07 2:24 pm
Congrats. Also, I would like to say that I have never seen the “flying shoe video,” funny stuff.
Enoch - 05.25.07 2:27 pm
Now you’ve got a Power Glove AND a fiance? LUCKY.
Seriously though, congratulations!
Lemond - 05.25.07 2:32 pm
Wow, that’s amazing!
Congratulations.
Now I just need to find a girlfriend…
Sideath - 05.25.07 2:36 pm
Congrats Vynnk
BTW “now I have my “Player 2”” is an amazing way for a gamer to put it.

“the oh-my-god-i-was-playing-pokemon-just-a-couple-of-years-ago-a nd-now-i-am-a-grown-up-getting-married club”
What the hell? I’ve been married over 5 years now, and I’ve got nearly 60 hours logged into Pokemon Diamond. Best of both worlds.
Congrats on your engagement. Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things you will ever endure. Remember, it is you and your wife’s wedding, NOT YOUR/HER MOTHER’S!!! Stay sane!!!
rdaneel72 - 05.25.07 2:57 pm
That is the best way to propose right there, man. I hope you two live a happy life together. I, on the other hand, have two more years of high school and then college before I will even consider getting married. Best of luck!
Crimson Warrior - 05.25.07 2:58 pm
Congrats man !!! welcome to the club
MacraMan - 05.25.07 2:59 pm
Awesome, Vinnk! Many good wishes friend, you guys are great together
Arcanis - 05.25.07 3:02 pm
Congratulations!
That “now I have my player 2″ comment was unnecessarily nerdy, though. in fact, never say that again. ever.
gojiguy - 05.25.07 3:08 pm
Wow, when did she meet Bono?
Blee Blee Bloo Bloo - 05.25.07 3:11 pm

Dean - 05.25.07 3:34 pm
CONGLATURATIONS!
Make sure you give us some pics from the wedding. If there is a mario cake you get 10000 points!
Neeks - 05.25.07 3:36 pm
Congragulations, Vinnk! As a man married 11 years this weekend, I can tell you that it’s worth all the hard work, committment and struggle you may encounter, because you have your “Player 2″ to share the joys, reward and fulfillment with as well!
There is also hope, by the way, for even the most staunch anti-gaming wife; mine has begun to come around since the advent of the DS and Wii… (nice gaming tie-in, huh?)
batmyke - 05.25.07 3:41 pm

chocolateFRESH - 05.25.07 3:41 pm

Well done sir.
Your proposal must have been ’super effective’
I shall be joining you sometime in the near future when I find the right ring and the right time to pop the question.
彼女は日本人です
Which is my first and probably last bit of japanese I ever write on this site
As you can tell I am rusty to say the least.
I was trying to say my girl is japanese so I am in roughly the same boat as you
Congrats again man… all the best for the future.
Johnny WashNGo - 05.25.07 6:38 pm
Hopefully the government paperwork won’t make you sad and stretch out the wait. The bureaucracy made me sad. Best of luck to you on the next level.
Patater - 05.25.07 6:38 pm

Shiro786 - 05.25.07 8:14 pm
I guess that means that you’ve been nice to her everyday, giving her flowers and food she likes, regularly checked her diary for hearts, upgraded your house and then finally you used the blue feather on her? Right? Or maybe that was Harvest Moon…
paq - 05.25.07 8:15 pm

synaesthesia - 05.25.07 9:42 pm
Good for you and her.
It only gets better from here on out, and I speak from experience on that.
Just remember one very important thing, you have now entered into a contract which requires you to lose any argument with her and praise her daily.
The pay-off is worth it though.
Kenofthedead - 05.25.07 9:57 pm
What if Player 2 dies and takes half your lives? Will you still marry her?
Neeks - 05.25.07 10:02 pm

Congratulations! I’ve been married for 8 years and it’s very enjoyable playing the game of life with someone. Small bit of advice. Find out early what makes her feel loved: spending time with her, small gifts, kind words, doing things for her, plenty of hugs and you’ll live happily ever after

Phantom_C - 05.27.07 9:46 am
Having a Power Glove and a wife? I always thought those were mutually exclusive, but I guess I’ve been proven wrong.
Anyway congratulations Vinnk. Hope you two have a great future together.

Congratulations! I think I can somehow imagine how you are feeling…or maybe not.
I hope one day I do that same thing with my girlfriend!
It’s nice to know a little bit about your lives, even though what calls us here is just videogames (as well as other [nerdy] pastimes).

Jools - 05.28.07 9:53 am
pretty much everything has been said already, but congratulations man. she’s a looker like everyone said! i though the “player 2″ line was cute, cheesy cute, but everything ends up that way when your talking about getting married. im sure we could all come up with a million gamer related jokes off of it. i thought of a couple
*Player 1 casts “Mojo” spell*
*Player 2 spawns new rebels*
*Player 1 has changed to “Diaper Master” class*
*Player 1 comes to realize that Player 2 is the true Player 1*
*Player 1 gains +20 to Fat*
*Player 1 discovers old Power Glove in Dusty Box*
*Player 1 cannot wear Power Glove as a “Heavy Type” character*
*Player 1 is afflicted with “Midlife Crisis” status effect*
*Player 1 coin bag takes half damage from Porsche moster*
just a few i though of. haha. would be funny to see what others came up with.
