Valentine’s Day Gifts For Your Sweetheart

Kotaku AU

The last time I posted links to Valentine’s Day cards a few readers cried lonely tears. Well, let me say right now that Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples. For example, this Valentine’s Day I’m going to feed my dog a whole bunch of cookies and we’re going to frolic in the grass together. I will probably make my puppy a card, too. So here are some gift ideas for your significant other (or the adorable canine of your heart).

Kotaku AU

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.

They’ll be celebrating the new feature on February 14 by attempting to establish the World Record for most in-game marriages in a 24-hour period. Where’s that Divorce Paper vendor again?

Bioware Dev Proposes With Minecraft For Valentine’s Day

Kotaku AU

The power of love is a curious thing, makes one man weep, makes another man sing. But love sometimes compels a man to build an enormous proposal shrine in Minecraft, and have his wife play through it. Makes the big chocolate Zelda heart I bought at the last minute look crap! Thanks for nothing Bioware dev!

Kotaku AU

Happy Valentine’s Day folks – I’m off home to get the crap kicked out of me for forgetting to buy a present. Valve, however, have remembered us all, releasing this delightful video.
