Love In The Time Of ‘Halo’

Is Halo's Master Chief the new cyber-armored Cupid? Apparently. People have been using the Interwebs to meet people to rub genitals against for many years. Usually this involves sending each other messages on a dating site, going on a date, followed the next day with a trip to the drugstore for pubic lice shampoo. The couple in the video below met playing Halo online. I guess he charmed her with the way he blew her to pieces with a plasma grenade. The two talked over XBOX, Facebook, and Skype and decided to get married. Then they met in real life. No armor piercing bullets needed.

It made me think about how much easier the male nerds of today have it when it comes to meeting girls. Usually, nerds mate with other nerds, (unless you are rich or very lucky). It was a lot harder when I was young. Where could you meet a female nerd back then that didn't look like Danny DeVito? That was the dilemma. Back when I was a teenager the Internet was just coming into the mainstream and comic book conventions weren't the multimillion dollar extravaganzas of today. More than likely it was an old hippie that smelled like BO and bong water selling old Conan the Barbarian comics out of an empty milk crate. My mom used to say, "You're never going to meet a girl sitting around playing video games in your underwear!" You were wrong, Mom. Now go get me a Pop Tart and some Sunny D.
