A Geekologie Reader, who will remain anonymous but who I will now refer to as Jilted Jedi because I’ve always wanted to pretend I was Dear Abby, had his entire Star Wars toy collection haphazardly dumped in the alley behind his house by his ex-wife, who may or may yes be a evil Sith lord. Which — let me see that lightsaber . Haha, red — I KNEW IT! There were about 10 black trash bags with carded figures stuffed into them 400-500 of them! Good thing the weather was cooperative and I was quick enough on the scene to detour the smokers in the alley. Can you believe the nerve?! Those toys should’ve only been handled by a mover specializing in the relocation of collectibles . Instead they got the trashbag treatment. Ex-wives: they hated your collection long before the divorce. Hit the jump for one more shot of the carnage.

Because themed engagement photos are all the rage these days (you crazy kids!), Geekologie Reader Sean K. and his bride-to-be decided to spice up their photoshoot in the park with a ninja attack . Aaaaaaaand these are those pictures. Because if there’s one thing that brings a couple closer, it’s killing a complete stranger together. Trust me (one time a date and I accidentally ran over a bum and she wanted to drive straight to Vegas to tie the knot). Hit the jump for several more of the battle, but be sure to check out the link to the photographer’s Flickr for the entire set (which may or may yes include a vagrant checking the dead ninja’s pockets for cash!).

Martial Arts Marriage: Ninja Attack Engagement Photos

A Zelda-loving couple recently got engaged after brobro hacked an emulated version of The Legend of Zelda to display a “will you marry me?” screen upon entering the cave at the beginning to collect your wooden sword. *sobbing uncontrollably* Always an usher, never even a groomsman. We had been playing the original Legend of Zelda on an emulator the previous weekend. (My fiance owns the original NES cartridge too, but the emulator makes hacking easier.) A few nights before, he and his roommate finished it, so he asked if I wanted to do the second quest. I said sure, so he turned on the computer and I started playing. When I entered the cave with the old man, (who normally says “It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!”) who gives you a sword, it instead said what you see in the picture above. I looked over at my fiance; he was kneeling and holding a heart container made out of Legos. The ring was inside. Obviously I said yes! Edit: Many of you have asked if we are planning on doing a Zelda wedding. I think that’s a bit too nerdy for us… AHAHHAHAHAHA @ “I think that’s a bit too nerdy for us”. You already had a Zelda themed wedding proposal. If you think for one second dude isn’t gonna try cutting the cake with a Master Sword replica you’ve got another thing coming. Probably fairy-in-a-bottle wedding table decorations. F***, that’s actually a good idea! Hit the jump for a shot of the LEGO heart container ring “box”.

In the much anticipated Elder Scrolls: Skyrim players will not only be able to marry between races, but the same sex as well. Finally. *eying Mass Effect 2* GARRUS AND I COULD’VE HAD SOMETHING. Bethesda’s Pete Hines has confirmed that gay marriage is possible in Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. The news comes, like all news these days, from a tweet. In response to a twitterer’s question which suggested Bethesda was being “hush hush” about gay marriage, Hines posted: “Not hush hush, just not making a huge deal out of it. You can marry anyone.” Obviously, I will have a harem of lizard-people and hopefully a dragon. Also, since it’s Friday and we’re being honest, yes, I did “test” Fisto the sex robot in Fallout: New Vegas , but ONLY to make sure he wouldn’t tear somebody’s wiener off and fail the mission for me. *poker face* Did anybody buy that? “I wouldn’t believe it for free.” Okay I got curious. Skyrim To Allow Gay Marriage [g4tv] Thanks to eric and Janre, neither one of which married a cousin.

Note: Entire worthwhile series after the jump. You know what they say: a couple that slays together, stays together. No? Nobody says that? Well I just did . “You also just said you’d kill everyone in the room for a Butterfinger Blizzard.” I know, and I meant it . Shit, I’d take out half of you for a creamsicle. This is a series of photos of California couple Ben and Juliana fighting off a zombie during their engagement picnic. It…is very romantic. Nothing draws a couple closer than killing something together. Don’t believe me? I’ll ask my roommate’s girlfriend. Well? “I wouldn’t know.” Soooooooooo — you weren’t around for that whole hooker thing? *sits back and waits for break up so Derek and I can be best bros again* Hit the jump for the entire attack from start to finish.

When it comes to proposing marriage to that special someone , I can think of at least ten better ways to do it than Facebook status update . At least eight of which involve wearing a clown mask and jumping out of a linen closet. Still, with society living more and more of their lives online, I can’t say I’m surprised. But I can say I’m disappointed. WoW raid proposal or GTFO! Facebook Marriage Proposal [buzzfeed] and Geekologie’s Facebook Fanpage Thanks to Caroline, who wants to be proposed to the old fashioned way: through a marriage arranged by her parents. Wait, what?!?!

So Romantic: Facebook Marriage Proposal

Want a wedding band created using the same ‘mokume gane’ technique as authentic samurai swords ? You’re in luck! But also out of luck because you’re getting married . There’s only one way out of this: I’m gonna have to cut your ring finger off. Ready? HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-YA! *you bleeding* Perfect, looks like I got it right above the knuckle. Now let’s do the left hand. Mokume gane is…a metal working technique developed in Japan approximately three to four hundred years ago, in which two or more layers of metal are permanently joined together in alternating layers to form a stack (or billet). In the traditional Japanese technique the bond was achieved by diffusion welding of the layers in a charcoal forge. On this laminated billet patterns of the different colored alloys were created by a combination of cutting, twisting, and forging of the laminate in ways to expose the various layers. The patterned billet was then formed into finished work by applying standard forging and fabrication techniques. No word on price, but you know what they say, “If you have to ask, you’re obviously poor and security’s watching on CCTV to make sure you don’t steal anything.” Quick, pocket some throwing stars and run! James Binnion Metal Works Product Site via I’d Like My Ring Samurai Style [gizmodo] Thanks to Jake, who agrees the ring is definitely less mighty than the sword (the One Ring excluded of course).

Microsoft Game Studios Software Development Engineer Ray Arifianto’s soon-to-be wife had this custom USB wedding band made for him. Why? Because flash memory is the language of looooove. Psyche, it’s actually COBOL C++. The gold ring isn’t actually a functional USB drive, but its design is reminiscent of one.
