WARNING: ROMANCE WITHIN

As many of you apparently now know, I went and got myself engaged. Jeff and Paul – a pair of romantic softies – snuck a congratulatory easter egg into the end of the latest Beta update podcast (all the way at the end, AFTER the copyright notice). So a big thanks to them and thanks for the emails and PMs, folks.

For those interested, here’s how it happened:

I was heading over to Dublin to visit our friends at GOA and it seemed like a perfect opportunity to trick my Irish lass into tagging along so I could propose on her ancestral home turf. Once the business was wrapped up, we had a day or so of free time to see the sights and experience Ireland. On our last day there we took a trip out into the country to visit Glendalough. After braving the increasingly-harsh weather, we made our way out to one of the nearby lakes that lay between green fields full of grazing lambs and an ancient ruined monastery. And that’s where I proposed. As Jeff and Paul mentioned already, she said yes.

And there was much rejoicing.

Anywho, I suppose I should introduce you to my good lady now.

Aubrey, meet the Internet.

Internet, meet Aubrey:




She’s concentrated awesome and I can’t wait to be married. Love ya, baby!We now return you to WAR-related shenanigans

    Once again man, congratulations. I wish you two the best. No more late nights playing MMOs, unless of course you can get her to play as well.

    Also hope she can keep you out of trouble. 😛

    In the second picture, where Aubrey has her hand running threw her hair, is that a picture of the rock you proposed with on her finger?
