However, for computer programmer Bernie Peng, it obviously seemed like the perfect idea.
He spent a month reprogramming his girlfriend Tammy Liu's favorite video game,
gem-matching hit Bejeweled, so that it would display the all-important message when she
reached a certain score. As Peng told Newark's Star-Ledger: "I thought it was pretty cool, in a
nerdy way."
Did she agree? Fortunately for Peng, she did, and the pair plan a September wedding.
Popcap, the company responsible for Bejeweled (and consequently untold hours of lost
productivity in offices around the world) is flying the couple out for a Seattle honeymoon, and
supplying copies of Bejeweled to hand out as wedding favors. A word of advice to any guests,
though: don't sit next to two other people wearing the same color, or all three of you will
vanish.
You can try the game for yourself right here -- but don't count on it hiding any marriage
proposals.

You're probably accustomed to seeing big-screen proposals
at ball games, in crowded restaurants, and scrawled across
the sky by aircraft. But popping the question by hiding a
message in your intended's favorite computer game is rather
more unusual.

As if maybe you are not tired of GTA4 content updates, how about some of what you wont see
in some releases of the game.
From Kotaku.com:
"In regards to what Rockstar have removed for the Australian release, as far as we're aware
there was only one sexually violent cut-scene which Rockstar felt would cause the game to be
Refused Classification. Unfortunately we're not able to go into specifics until after the game
has been released but I can tell you that the scene involves a weapon being inserted into an
enemies private area during a mission where Niko is taking revenge after one of his close
friends was forced into sexual intercourse during his stay in prison."
This is some rumored info that Rockstar has currently defined as 'untrue', but we at Busy
Gamer found it amusing at the least. If your going to remove something, may it be things
stuck in orifices that don't really belong there. /snicker
