Man Hacked Video Game to Propose to his Girl
Man Hacked Video Game to Propose to his Girl is a post from Chris PirilloPhill and his then-fiancee Anna were avid video game players back in 2008. Phil had bought a ring and talked to Anna’s dad to receive his blessing because he wanted nothing more than to make Anna his wife. The problem, though, was that Phil was stumped as to how to propose. He was having trouble coming up with something unique and special. That’s when he decided to hack her favorite game Chrono Trigger.His plan was to modify it with a few of their memories (stargazing, dancing, even her favorite song lyrics from the Princess Bride) and finish the whole thing with his proposal. “Overall, it was a resounding success. She had no idea that this wasn’t part of the original. She asked, “Hey, are those the Princess Bride lyrics? Do the Japanese really love that movie?” to which I responded, “Yeah! That’s probably it! Either that or a bored translator slipping in an easter egg.”When the proposal appeared on the screen, Anna looked over to Phil in confusion. When she saw him there on bended knee with the ring held out, the word “yes” flew from her lips. Immediately after that, she said “You are such a nerd…and I love it!”Well done, young grasshopper. How much cooler can you get?
