Xbox Living

Ok, here’s one for the books. A Halo 3 player has now popped the big question to his girlfriend in an Xbox Live match. The aspiring groom, whose Gamertag is “Moviesign”, invited his girlfriend, Gamertag “furtive penguin” to a Slayer match he’d made using a map he’d customized using the game’s Forge studio. In there, he led her to an area where he’d spelled out “Marry Me?” in weapons.

furtive penguin accepted the proposal, and the two are now engaged to be wed. They haven’t set a date for the wedding — “We’re waiting to see what the release date is for the next Halo game. We don’t want any conflicts.”

This kind of thing happens in MMO games like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy XI all the time — I indeed know of some couples who play these games together quite often, and some who have had in-game weddings in FFXI. But in a shooter? This is something new.
