    worst reaction EVER.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    The proposal was nice. Going back to the game after it, when they should've been ****ing was... nerdy.

    You never know, it might lead to a whole new world of roleplaying in the bedroom for them!

    Meh, looks like he was just trying to get the same fame as the Bejeweled guy, why else would he video it in secret and stick it on youtube?

    "OMG LOOK LOOK AT ME LOOK LOOK ARE YOU LOOKING LOOK LOOK!"

    Either propose or don't, no need to make a production out of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    As the video started I did wonder if he left it running for when they inevitably screwed right there and then but no.... they went back to playing the game.

    Sheesh. :rolleyes:

    he got nothin on this guy.. spelling out a few words in a game or filming for 9 months!


    I have know my fiancée Tracey Wade for over 14 years and wanted to propose to her in a very unique way. Tracey thought we were just going to the movies on a Sunday afternoon. Little did she know, I had rented the entire theater and filled it with 160 of our friends and family. I made it seem as though we were showing up a little late to the movie and went in to the theater after the lights had gone down and the movie trailers were already playing. This was done to keep her from recognizing anyone in the theater. What I had done was make an entire movie trailer that had actors portraying both Tracey and I at different times in our lives, both present day and in the future. After a few trailers played including one for Lord of the Rings the one I had made started. Tracey thought it was just another trailer for a movie soon to be released. Tracey was just perplexed as to how many different things had similarities to our relationship, she kept nudging me throughout the trailer. Tracey had no idea this was a marriage proposal until the last three seconds of the trailer. Nine months earlier in September of 2006 I started by hiring a professional production team, securing two and a half million dollars worth of film equipment (THANK YOU PANAVISION), and writing a script that would show what would go through someone's mind (Tracey's) if they were about to die. It is said "moments before you die your life flashes right before your eyes". JUST A NOTE: Ever since Tracey was a young girl, she has had a reoccurring dream that she was going to die in a plane crash. Actors were cast to portray both Tracey and I at different times in our lives (twenty years in the future as well as present day). The explanations of the flashbacks are as follows: HORSE JUMPING - Tracey has been an avid equestrian her entire life, both competing and teaching professionally. The location that we filmed, was the exact location Tracey won in, back in 2006. DODGER STADIUM - Tracey and I have season tickets to the Dodgers. We both grew up in L.A. and are big baseball fans. SKYDIVING - On Tracey's fathers 70th birthday we both went skydiving for the first time. The plane in the trailer is the same plane we jumped out of in real life. The actress portraying Tracey even wore the same jumpsuit. KITE FLYING - This was filmed in the exact location Tracey and I have flown a kite before. FISHING - When Tracey and I fell in love; we were down in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. One of our greatest memories in Mexico was chartering a boat and going marlin fishing. In the movie trailer both actors were wearing the exact same clothes, both Tracey and I were wearing when we went fishing. As a side note this scene was actually shot on location down in Cabo San Lucas. RUNNING ON THE BEACH - Tracey and I had one of our best days ever on this exact beach near San Diego. SAILING - I own a sailboat. Both Tracey and I love sailing. The exterior shot was not my boat, but the closes up shots were actually filmed on my sailboat. AIRIAL SHOT OF BEACH AND HOTEL - This was the actual place we stayed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. It is our very favorite place. Tracey always thought I might one day ask her to marry her there. PROPOSAL LOCATION - Same hotel as mentioned above. This one area at the hotel was our very favorite spot. SHE SAID YES!!

    don't actually like it but i have to respect how rich he is..

    You'd sort of wonder if the man did it so he could just put it on youtube :)

    Why would I waste all my time having sex when I could be playing Super Mario World?

    Get your priorities straight man.

    That is true. Should've gone with Sonic.

    I had to watch it twice because the first time I was transfixed by their awesome dog.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    She didn't seem that happy at all and went back playing after? strange but i thought it was a cute way to propose :o and it depends on the people obviously.

    Great f cuking game. Walked the Dog everyday for about 6 months and bought the SNES which came bundled Super Mario World.
    Certainly amoung the best money I ever spent.

    It take great skill to get *96 in that game.

    These games completing a game involves watching endless cinematics and making it 5 minutes between save points.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,110 Mod ✭✭✭✭Tar.Aldarion


    lovely stuff. :)


    dog was the best bit indeed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,811 ✭✭✭Gone Drinking


    I was hoping she'd just take all the coins without noticing what was written, and go on playing the game.. and the dog to start humping her leg.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I'm just waiting on the video reply when she goes into one of those pipes and falls a long distance and Mario passes:

    "I

    W
    A
    N
    T

    A

    D
    I
    V
    O
    R
    C
    E
    "

    She's obviously a newb, didn't even get all the gold coins!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    She didn't look particularly bothered by the proposal, forgot about the ring and playing on afterwards?


    Women.... No ****ing thanks.

    I cant believe she calmly say back down and continued playing the game. He was left standing there like a pleb goin "eerrr...hello..ring in a box here" :o Cool dog though.

    This made me feel a bit sick!!! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    What if she didn't want to play the game? Or had he edited all the games, books, cd's and dvd's to cover his bases?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,883 ✭✭✭wudangclan


    it's only blokes,i think,who thanked the original post.
    i would have thought that sort of thing would make the wimmens go all gooey.
