8 Weirdly Romantic Proposals in Unromantic Games

[@MrPrussianjester]

First clip = Player 1:Will you marry me? Player 2: Not with that framerate.

[@luigiymario2xd]

I think it was just because he was capturing the gameplay with something like fraps instead of a proper capture card xD

[@premiumheadpats4150]

I guess everyone noticed that.

[@braylenjohnny1974]

You all prolly dont give a damn but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

"Robots are physically incapable of having STDs" Just the best line ever

[@jamesanthony8438]

Sadly, it's not true. STDs are viruses. Robots can catch viruses just like any other computer. Claptrap LIED!!!

Fisto never cheated on me.

[@PogoPinguin1988]

"Possible side effects of the testing include: [...] crippling emotional trauma and death." GLaDOS going full romance mode there

Don't get me wrong, these proposals were sweet AF but god, that Dying Light footage...

[@Banquet42]

My friend proposed (not to me) during a game of scrabble. He put down the tiles spelling MarryMe' at the start of the game (Used all his letter so gets double, double word score) she complained that it was two words, not one until eventually the penny dropped.

[@Banquet42]

@YamiAtemYugi They're still Married so it worked out well :)

[@respectableaf9061]

When I first met my significant other it was at uni and we both bonded over our love for videogames and horror. So the first game we played together was Silent Hill 2. A few years later he took me to a park, up on a "silent hill", played the soundtrack to the game and presented a ring. We had a videogame themed wedding.

[@Feasco]

Respectable AF That's sweet Hope you have a better life together than James and Mary did

[@respectableaf9061]

Thanks, I know right, so far so good.

[@inevitabletraitor]

I proposed to my wife by hiding a note and ring inside the board game "Forbidden Island," which is the same game we were playing the night we met.

[@Patrick-Phelan]

This is adorable, but so risky. "Do you want to play Forbidden Island?" "Not with Forbidden Desert out! I really think it's the same, but better - why go back?"

[@ashtherion]

"Challenge accepted!" And we never saw Andy again. Or at least, not for another 79 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes. Enjoy your trip, Andy!

[@wizzem7890]

I hate that book so much.

[@p0tat024]

What book?

[@Ceece20]

Dark Souls is a romance dating sim. Only the monsters are the ones choosing the conversation tree and killing you is just the way they choose to not romance you.

[@augmentedlinguist4674]

dogsrulenw08 Well that's one way to interpret it lol

[@dichu1826]

To be fair, you're a rotting zombie half the time, and will probably someday lose your mind and try to kill them, so it's understandable that they wouldn't want a relationship with you.

[@grooorglaserdeth8823]

So what exactly are you doing then for the majority of the game? Killing innocent monsters. They were just trying to say hello and you get all "OMG A GIANT MONSTER, BETTER KILL IT". They don't turn you down, they act in self-defence.

[@ThatMarco]

*makes sense*

[@thebiglich]

Its about time someone made a ds dating sim

[@salenstormwing]

Jane would describe marriage as a zombie apocalypse... Is anyone surprised? Honestly?

[@ChocolatierRob]

Well maybe you can't get STDs from robots but looking at Claptrap I'm pretty sure you could still get tetanus.

[@grooorglaserdeth8823]

Oh goddammit :(

In Warframe, a couple got married in game with their whole clan present AND members from Digital Extremes themselves, with the community manager playing as the Lotus! Arguably one of the greatest moments in the Games history.

[@McDDcM]

I proposed to my partner using a Paddington picture book. It would have been the best weekend of my life except the weekend before I had a comment read out by both Oxbox and Oxtra. No one tell her that though.

[@thewerewolff7248]

Adam McDDcM wow

[@firedrake110]

One time I had a comment read by Philly D, back when his show used to have comments discussed at the end. It's a pretty cool feeling, I can see why a double dose would be the best week ever

[@affordablehousing9116]

Partners come and go Ox is 4EVER!

[@coreyh3170]

I read your replies hoping she was there telling you it's off. No luck. 😕

[@Rodrigo-ei4ht]

I am still waiting for that magical day when Oxbox or Oxtra read my comments. And you got both! Some guys have all the luck. Err yes I hope your marriage is going along well

[@InternetTrafficCop]

"revenge of the fifth" is completely brilliant

[@Stephen-Fox]

The fact the guy who modified Donkey Kong to have playable Pauline for his daughter (A story a knew about) had previously tried to propose to his girlfriend via the official GBC port of Klax (A story I didn't) is an added bit of detail that enhances both stories to me.

[@zacharyrodriguez4348]

Klax was my first plazzler

[@encycl07pedia-]

The DK mod is just reskinning two characters. It's not very impressive when you actually think about it.

[@MissingmyBabbu]

Not in a technical sense, sure- I imagine I could manage it with some tinkering about if I really tried. But the reasoning is really sweet to me.

I was the best man at a wedding and I told Klei about their love of don’t starve and Chester... they not only made a personal poster for them but have them two plush cheaters, two hats, and sooooo many lovely Chester gifts congratulating the happy couple! Klei is amazing!!!!

[@terracannon876]

My favorite was a story about a modded Pokemon that held a marriage proposal. I wish I remembered more about it, but I remember being really touched.

[@VonBlade]

Clamp, Soak, Pound, Withdraw?

[@terracannon876]

Haha, is that achievable without mods?? Maybe Cloyster... But no, it was a mod that remapped the flowers on the ground to ask the question.

Man, I wonder what other emotions we missed with Jane's sarcastic defense mode. She probably experiences emotions every other episode.

[@dawndoe11]

How about games where it feels like a romance was forced into it at the last second?

[@Paldasan]

ReadingatDawn I want more realistic romance 'options', like where they run away and hide if I ever mention anything more than a casual friendship.

[@FirstLast-cg2nk]

Here's an idea for the next video: *Times The Boss Was Having Way More Fun Than You Were.* Top of the list? Dung Defender from Hollow Knight.

[@FlyingElbowKick]

These are fantastic. Too bad my proposal wouldn't count; I sent her on a quest from a priestess to retrieve a relic of Mara (Elder Scrolls, of course. The relic, of course, was the ring). But the quest was done in real life, not in-game. My friend was the final boss. Every proposal should have a boss battle, right?

[@xredliine7661]

What about Destiny? 2 developers got engaged through it after one had a letter planted in their partners Postmaster. They even got an in game ring artifact too!

[@theredheadwiththread1275]

My husband and I don't have much time for gaming these days (he works 40+ hours a week and we have a toddler) but we used to play a few games together regularly, one of them being Day Z. We were playing with three friends: two of whom we know IRL and the third was someone who had recently started playing with us. The new guy suggested that my husband marry me because I was as into gaming as him and not half bad at it, either. My husband turned his character to face mine then had him sit down (you can't kneel except when being tied up, if I remember correctly) and asked me to marry him, dropping a can of peaches at my character's feet. I said yes as I picked up the peaches while our friends had their characters clap and give the thumbs up. Now I kinda wish we had recorded it because it was cute.

[@alexrivas1993]

congratulations 😄👍

Jane's sarcasm defense mode is the most adorable thing I've yet to see. I'll have to activate my "Binge Scotch Drinking" mode; my OWN emotional suppression mechanism.

[@NinjaPickle]

One of my brother's friends proposed to his girlfriend with an app game he made. It was a platformer and it was filled with little in-jokes from their relationship. He asked us to test it and see if it works, and it was pretty cute

[@HarryBillyBobGeorge]

Megg in Halo. What's more romantic than making your significant other jump on oil drums, not get shot while unarmed on the highest difficulty, kill your commanding officer, and then try to murder a bunch of marines to no avail, for a chance to walk down a hallway and stare at a bloody heart on the ceiling? Truly the stuff of fairy tales.

[@ralphbutcher7294]

It’s good to know I’m not the only one using that sarcastic defence mechanism

I thought they were going to show clips of video game characters proposing to someone in video games. This was far more interesting! You never disappoint.

I'm quite surprised to not see the Pixel Proposal on this list. Essentially, a guy and his buddies program a side scrolling platformer with the sole purpose of asking his girlfriend to marry him. It's lovely. Protip: There's a highlight video on KZbin with the Lana Del Rey song "Video Games" as the background music. Watch that one.

[@xTangledUpInBluex]

Oooooh -- I thought this was a video about weird IN-UNIVERSE proposals in unromantic games! Real-life ones are even better. :D A couple of these I'd heard of before -- the Klax and Portal 2 ones sound familiar -- but the others are pleasant surprises. I am continually impressed by how some people will propose :)

[@medicyukisuna]

I'm surprised you didn't include Warframe - the developers hosted an official wedding live, complete with the voice actor for the main hub character (essentially, the game's narrator) attending and welcoming the two lovebirds. It's really hard to find footage of it these days but there is a recording of the livestream somewhere here on KZbin. The developers of the team also did the legal arrangements outside the game, so the in-game marriage was fully official both in the virtual world and the real world.
