This
story
has been around for a while but it’s just hitting mainstream
news now. Bernie Peng, a financial software programmer,
altered a homebrew version of Bejeweled for DS to clear the
screen and drop a ring down when his girlfriend reached a
certain score. Lucky for Bernie she said yes, and it was
heard by nerds everywhere, including Bejeweled maker PopCap,
who is flying them to Seattle as part of their honeymoon.
The company is also supplying copies of Bejeweled as gifts
to wedding guests.Bernie and
his girlfriend have recreated the moment in a series of
photos on his
blog.
Definitely a geeky thing to do, so
I applaud Bernie, but a quick search of Geek.com would have
saved him some trouble since Astraware created a special
edition of Bejeweled last year for just such an occasion
