Valentines for the Problem Gamer in your life

Gotta love the internet. In days of old, we had to buy valentines for thirty of our closest classmates, and in those days, a gamer’s choice was pretty much… Mario. Thinking about it now, kids giving kids sweets and cards is not really even a practice that should be condoned on a “romantic holiday”.

But if the teachers of today still make their classes do it, one can at least print off geeky, game-themed valentines from the internet for a fraction of the cost! Some are even child-friendly. Take a gander at the fine offerings on the Capcom Unity blog, including Mega Man, Phoenix Wright, and Super Street Fighter IV-inspired love notes.

The author and artist of VGCats also produced some of my favourite valentines on the internet in years past. I’d say Link  and Phoenix are safe for children under 14.

Purely ingenious. :D

    Once, I gave this very quick and simple card to a girl I was with. She really liked it, and told me the message was romantic. Do you know its real origin?

    A few days later, I turned on my PSone and showed her the kick ass intro (from were I ripped off the message), she didn’t like that :(

      It seems like it came from FFVIII, or another of Square’s many PS1 RPGs. That’s just my best guess at the moment.
      It’s too bad she didn’t like seeing the game it came from, but it was kind of to be expected. :P Live and learn, right?
