You know, for all the stories about gamers ignoring their significant others for their consoles and keyboards, there are some great examples of gamer geeks going above and beyond to profess their love for one another. Need a little inspiration or digital courage this Valentine’s Day? Check out some of the best video game related proposals below.

5. Comic Con Halo Proposal (Above): When you and your lady are in the habit of reenacting scenes from popular Halo machinima Red vs. Blue, having an audience at Comic Con is no big deal. Besides, you’ve got helmets on, right?

But what happens when our partner goes off script and decides to make things a little more… personal?

4. Super Mario Proposal: There’s something to be said for knowing what the love of your life really enjoys. Super Mario Brothers, for example. This guy really nails it.

You always want to make sure you work out the logistics though… I mean, what would’ve happened if he hadn’t caught the ring? What if it turned out there was a fire flower in there?

3. Chrono Trigger Custom Hack: As you may or may not know, Chrono Trigger is pretty much the best game ever. How can you make it better? Hacking in a marriage proposal, obviously.

The couple’s story is interwoven into a brand new storyline in the game centered around a mountain that represents something special to the pair. The custom quest culminates at the top of the mountain with something very special for the intrepid adventurer.

2. Portal 2 Custom Level: Nothing says love like the cold, disinterested voice of a robot that has been trying to kill you for the last few hours. Fortunately, this story has a happier ending.

With the help of a serious level builder and the actual voice of GLaDOS, one enterprising test subject professed his love in the best way he knew how: puzzles, veiled insults, and an all-important companion cube.

1. Borderlands Claptrap Video Proposal: Ah, Claptrap. Long-suffering friend, helpful guide, and hopeless romantic. I mean, who wouldn’t swoon at the prospect of doing it skaggy style with a pint sized foul mouthed toaster?

He even has the decency to hold up a “say no!” sign when the time comes to actually pop the question. Fortunately, with the whole team at Gearbox behind him there was no way this treasure hunter was going home without the prize.
