Jan 28 2009 Exclusive Follow Up: A Match Made In Halo
Remember Desirai Labrada and John Henry, the couple that met playing Halo and planned on getting married this month in a Halo-themed wedding at Otronicon? Well they did it folks, the couple is how happily married and PEW PEWing away to their hearts content together.
The ceremony started just after 1 p.m. in the Science Center's theater. Onstage, a screenshot from Ivory Tower, one of the wedding couple's favorite "Halo" levels, was projected, and a string quartet played songs from the game's soundtrack. Atop an incline of stadium seating, Master Chief began his walk down to the stage followed by John and his groomsmen, their ties marked with the winged-sword emblem of John's "Halo" character. Bridesmaids -- including a matron of honor who just months before had confessed that she didn't know who Master Chief was -- proceeded to their positions. And then, instead of "Here Comes the Bride," Desirai entered to the dramatic score of the "Halo" menu music.
Awesome. Congratulations Desirai and John, Geekologie wishes you the best and many kills to come. Also, I've been inspired to have my own video-game themed wedding the next time I get married. Zelda all the way, baby. Isn't that right honey? Honey? Goddammit.
Hit the jump for a couple more pictures, a video, and some exclusive insight into the awesomeness provided by my bridesmaid tipster, evilcharismatic.

Jan 25 2009 Vroom Vroom For Six, Please: A Racecar Limo
This street-legal racecar limo is actually available for hire and can allegedly reach up to 300MPH. Of course your sissy of a driver will probably never top 65MPH, but that's because this whole idea is stupid. Unless you get a couple highspeed track runs before going to you to the dance, in which case, maybe. All I'm saying is if I had gone to prom in that mother, I most certainly would have gotten to touch a boob. And by touch a boob I obviously mean cop a feel. I'm thinking the old "sudden braking" reach across.

Jan 23 2008 Wii Mii Chocolates In Time For Valentine's
Wii Mii Chocolates are, get this -- little Wii Mii shaped chocolates! You get the option of milk, dark, or white chocolate, and can choose any combination of the three, along with the preferred sexes of the two figures. They run $15 and come in a little Wii shaped box. Perfect for that Wii loving lover of yours for Valentine's day. I actually thought about ordering some, but I've decided on going a different route. Instead of buying chocolates I'm going to write a heartfelt poem for my girlfriend on Valentine's. The following is my rough draft.
My girlfriend,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I couldn't come up with anything, so I guess I don't.
I've been sleeping with your best friend anyways.
I guess this is my way of saying "we're over."
Happy Valentine's.I hope you cry a lot,
The Geekologie Writer
Pretty romantic, I know.
Chocolate Mii for you and Wii [popgadget]
