For a while it seemed like it would never happen for you. There were men in your life, sure — there was always somebody. But did you ever connect in a significant way with any of them? Did you ever really feel that special something, that something that up until now you only had to believe existed, lacking both proof and reason? You would be lying if you said there weren’t times in your life when you resigned to the feeling that, yes, maybe this is all that “love” is. Having someone you looked forward to putting on your headset and talking to throughout the night, but not quite in the way all those old songs on the radio made it seem like you would. That was your lot in life and you were ok with it, sure. But there was something inside of you that still believed in something more. Something that prodded you to keep looking. Something that told you — begged you — not to settle. And then you found him. Your “him.” The role he’ll be playing in all of your stories until you grow old, you hoped. It almost felt like you were living someone else’s life. Was this really happening to you? You?
And then he proposed to you while you were playing World of Warcraft and you said yes and then continued to play World of Warcraft.
(Thanks for the tip, Werttrew.)

“First you stole my cloudsong, then you stole my heart.”
No joke, my former roommate made a full-on parody song set to that Len song called “Steal My Cloudsong.” It wasn’t bad!
And then Leeroy Jenkins had to ruin it
this game looks boring.
Kelly I know you are new, but let’s not bury the lede: “Guy who plays World of Warcraft has a Girlfriend.”
You know when colleges put minority students on their brochures so they’ll appear diverse? Let’s just say this guy is on all the WOW brochures
“Guy who plays World of Warcraft works up nerve to talk to a girl”
everyone weakly saying “yaaay” afterwards was super depressing.
As awful as that all is, the genuine crying and excitement of the girl was still pretty touching.
Errrrrrggggghhh. That is dumb!
Unless they were in the same house but just in different rooms, that was dumb.
Actually even if they were sitting next to each other in a room with two computers, I still hate this.
“Hey, uh, would you like to, y’know, if you felt like it, would you like to roam around as an engaged couple? By that I mean, uh, how about you uh, maybe marry me? What do you think about that? Huh?”
GROSS.
“What’s that? You broke up right there. What do I what? ‘Fire spell’? Is that what you said?”
Level 67 UGH-ability.
Why do you think he had all those people there? For support? They were backup if she said no.
WOW!
Everyone knows that you’re supposed to propose to your girlfriend in a butcher shop. Because the sausage is suggestive, you see.
Jocks propose at sports arenas, nerds propose on the internet, and idiots propose in mall food courts. Same old song.
What if someone proposed at a nature center park? Asking for a friend.
Hippies
Where do hipsters propose, some place so obscure they don’t even know about?
Hipsters don’t propose marriage, because there’s no way to play it off as ironic.
hipsters just serve divorce papers dated three years in the future. that or a bank for for a joint account.
what if its central park? it proposing in a park in the city a double negative or like…i dunno dividing by zero?
If Roger and Zapp only knew.
I, for one, cannot WAIT for the youtube comments on this.
She’s crying a little too hard…..er, no, come to think of it, it’s maybe just the right amount of crying.
I wander if they logged into Second Life for the engagement sex.
I bet Subway caters the wedding.
He probably proposed today because he just heard about Oprah’s new show!
Yuk it up, but it’s only a matter of time before one vgum monster says to another, “I want to upvote you for the rest of my life.”
I have a friend whose girlfriend got him into WOW. This will probably happen to them, except somehow less awkwardly because they are both pretty put together people (ie- socially competent).
“I don’t have a ring just yet. The Frost Wyvern in Ice Mountain Cave has a 23% probability of dropping one when defeated but my Ice affinity is low and it keeps killing me.”
I bet he did it on WOW for more confidence. This is a level 42 mage with the talisman of Alantrisia proposing to you baby!
Can we talk about how it is just a shitty proposal regardless of where it happened?
Also, there’s three people who play WoW in the library every single day, and two of them, I don’t know if they are brother and sister, who also do meth together, or if they are a couple that look at ton alike because they’ve been sharing their meth for years; either way it’s wicked depressing.
“If you wanna marry me that would be awesome.”
Dude, you aren’t up sizing you fries here.
*deletes proposal comment to RaRa*
People who lead vibrant internet-based social lives are funny losers! LOL.
so to tell a story that probably will be downvoted due to being true/depressing about internet marriages and mmo’s. my friends parents were really into ultima online in the early nineties, to the point where it was causing marital stress. mind you his father was an alcoholic with ptst and his mom was mostly absentee. so after buying a second computer things evened out for a while till they started playing everquest in the late 90′s. his mom meets a guy who lives in canada, is only about 3 years older than we were and starts taking extended trips to visit “extended family” up there. long story short she gets a divorce and moves to canada to be with her video game romance leaving the kids with the abusive and rapidly downward spiraling father.
im sure this isnt the case here but yeah, thats what this reminded me of. enjoy your weekend!
My dad met his third wife playing Yahoo cribbage in the late 90s. I found out about the affair when I was 13 and accidentally saw her write “gg hun” on one of their games. Note to dads: Don’t leave your internet affairs logged in when the kids are in the house!
Another nail in the coffin of human interaction.
I was slacking in my Videogumming this week so I’m just go through all the posts I missed. At the same time I decided to give Thurston Moore’s new album a spin. Long story short, playing the video with the song “Beenediction” makes it very touching and happy.
