A US man has been credited with the ultimate nerd wedding proposal after hacking into his girlfriend’s favourite video game.
Bernie Peng, 26, of New Jersey, reprogrammed Bejewele, so a ring and a proposal popped up when Tammy Li, 27, reached a certain score. Peng, who works as a programmer of financial software, said e spent about a month reprogramming the game. “I thought it was pretty cool, in a nerdy way,” he said. He presented the game to a surprised Li, who played until she hit the score that triggered a digital pink sapphire ring to drop down with Peng’s proposal.
“He set a pretty low score,” said Li, who is now sporting an identical pink sapphire engagement ring :).
