One year I demanded flowers for Valentine’s Day before realising I don’t like flowers. Another year I demanded a card before deciding it was too mushy and stupid. Clearly I am not cut out for Valentine’s Day. But if you are, then these gaming-themed cards might work a treat in helping you woo the geeky male/female/genderless person of your dreams.

Effluvium Boy
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:46 PMYou demand things for Valentines Day?
Yeesh… Talk about high maintenance…
Tracey Lien
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:49 PMHigh maintenance sure is a thing that I am! This year I have demanded that I receive nothing.

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:52 PMAnd if they dare get you something, ooooh they will get such a slap!
Robert (B-ob)
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:15 PMAnd then it’ll be all “Well, you got ME something for Valentine’s day too”

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:15 PMThey better not be nice! OR ELSE.
Braaains
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:14 PMYou’re as bad as my wife. Whenever birthday/xmas/anniversary/valentine’s day etc roll around and the topic comes up, she always insists on the old “don’t get me anything” line.
So far I have not yet been stupid enough to actually fall for that, though.
Dionysus
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:16 PMAnyone one with a mrs would know when you are told “don’t get me anything” she really means “I don’t want to seem needy so I will tell you not to get me anything but if you stupid enough to listen to that then I doubt we will see next valentines”
Spoonie
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:28 PMI disagree, I did this exact thing. My girlfriend at the time said I don’t want anything for val’s day, it’s so commercialised blah blah blah, so I got her nothing. She chucked a wobbly and I told her to pull her head in. I had a picnic and everything planned, but I don’t want to spend the day with a spoiled princess…in saying that, I prefer to be single. The grass isn’t always greener, the only probably is getting the good stuff without the arduous task of dating. :P
Spoonie
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:29 PMprobably = Problem

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:20 PMEveryone knows that’s a trap. No girl asks for nothing with the intention of getting nothing ;)
Braaains
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:37 PMIf she gets nothing, then you can be damn sure that YOU”LL be getting nothing, too. For a long, long time afterwards ;P
Baron
Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 9:54 AMDamn I must be lucky then, I don’t have to buy her a thing and receive no guilt trip for doing so. Maybe she just loves my mad skills! Haha gotta find the right one and if you have to compromise the things you enjoy doing its not worth it
Tracey Lien
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:40 PMThere isn’t really any physical object I want that I haven’t already gone out and bought for myself, I don’t wear jewellery (I’ve even stopped wearing a watch!) and I don’t like clutter. I once asked a boyfriend if he could just buy me a whole bunch of plain notepads that I could use to take journalism notes and he did not get me that. I am a practical lady!
That Teemo
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 4:43 PMYeah my lady is a bit like that, says she wants nothing and generally means it. But if I don’t get her something she looks sad.
So Last time she asked for nothing, I got her coupons that she can cash in to get me to do stuff I normally don’t like, or go do things, or even not play games a day/evening.
Went over better than any of the jewelry I bought her.
Jiff
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 8:31 PMI’m exactly the same – makes it difficult for anyone to buy for me :)
Chuloopa
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:50 PMi’d love to give any one of these to bee just to have her say “what.. the…f…. i don’t get it?”
At least it will be amusing to me!
Chuloopa
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:53 PMcome to think of it.. she played limbo with me, so this article has now given me the brilliant idea to do a Limbo themed valentines for her :D
Corey
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:53 PMI actually give my girlfriend practical things on Valentine’s Day.
Like iTouches and Kindles.
Yes, more expensive but I find it is more worthwhile than the usual rubbish that constitutes flowers, cards and chocolate.
(PS – My girlfriend is allergic to jewellery!!! :) )
Corey
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 2:54 PMI always tell her I love her because I have a legitimate reason to not buy her any of that shiny crap…

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:12 PMBETTER IDEA!!!
1. Take picture of wang
2. Photoshop wang into zelda picture
3. Use photoshop to alter text. “It’s dangerious to go alone, take this. Take all of it”
4. ?????
5. ROMANCE PROFIT!

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:30 PMI see someone went to the Kanye West school of romantic gifts.

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:38 PMThat’s nothing.
I know someone who went to the R Kelly school of romance.
El Kapitan
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:48 PMChris Brown school of romance, REPRESEEEEENNNTTTT

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:20 PMI actually have someone to spend my valentine’s day with, but she’s not quite the gamer I am and probably won’t appreciate these on the same level I would.
El Kapitan
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 3:49 PMThen your name here clearly needs some revision….

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 5:04 PMIf you were a real egotist you could send one of these to yourself…

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 4:24 PMI was going to tell my missus not to get me anything… but then she mentioned something about a certain new Sony handheld… so I shut my mouth. I shall accept my punishment and suffer many sleepless nights and blistered thumbs.
oh woe is me…. ¶:Þ
By the way im also entitled to a game of my choice… Any recommendations, cause ill be quite honest theres not much in the current library that catches my eye. except maybe uncharted 3, or rayman origins or wipeout… any recommendations?

Post Modern Warfare
Monday, January 30, 2012 at 6:34 PMThere are a lot of lonely people on the part of the Internet where people talk about games. It makes me want to go out and get all of you valentines, because I am super caffinated and I need a task to do.
This reminds me of that one picture of a bro that gave his girl a Pokemon Blue cart and the party was nicknamed
WILL
YOU
MARRY
ME
PLEASE
And all the Pokes were lvl100. Usually all the grinding I do in relationships is a little different IF YOU CATCH ME.

Monday, January 30, 2012 at 7:16 PMHow about a Kotaku AU Secret Valentines type deal? (IE like Secret Santa)

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 10:59 PMI think I’ll steal the Pokemon idea…. Thanks!
