An English gamer is getting married after he proposed to his inamorata during an iOS game of 1000 Heroz.
Peter (aka mace999) had previously played the game with his girlfriend after meeting her in Thailand and contacted the developer, Red Lynx, to see if they were willing to play Cupid.
They were indeed willing, the proposal was inserted into the game and the charming Ying accepted. The deeply romantic mace999 described it as follows.
“I fell down a hole first run, and she kept hitting restart trying to get a perfect run, I was getting frustated because I wanted to see the end of the race so I finally said ‘just finish the race’. Finally she did and saw the banner”, he said.
This may or may not be the digital equivalent of getting down on my knee, but it won’t be the first time an English gamer goes to Thailand and comes back with a wife, as well we know, mace999.
