This story has been around for a while but it’s just hitting mainstream news now. Bernie Peng, a financial software programmer, altered a homebrew version of Bejeweled for DS to clear the screen and drop a ring down when his girlfriend reached a certain score. Lucky for Bernie she said yes, and it was heard by nerds everywhere, including Bejeweled maker PopCap, who is flying them to Seattle as part of their honeymoon. The company is also supplying copies of Bejeweled as gifts to wedding guests.

Bernie and his girlfriend have recreated the moment in a series of photos on his blog.

Definitely a geeky thing to do, so I applaud Bernie, but a quick search of Geek.com would have saved him some trouble since Astraware created a special edition of Bejeweled last year for just such an occasion.

That’s pretty funny: we just published about Sony’s 0.3mm thick display and here they show a 0.2mm thick one. It has a lower resolution (320×220), but this is quite a lot thinner than the current LCD equivalent. Do I smell uber-thin gadgets? Yes! (This is just a prototype and it will not be used in mass production in the short-term)

I used to have a friend who refused to listen to my rationale about why something like a PSP or Nintendo DS Lite was more cost-effective (not to mention better looking and more versatile) than her basket of those dedicated handheld games she’d get from supermarkets and drug stores.

Unable to break through her steel wall of stubbornness, I eventually gave in and started buying her games to add to her collection. When I gave her some “big screen” version of Tetris a few years ago, she nearly keeled over from excitement. Never mind that the graphics looked like something from the original Game Boy (aka “the spinach-green era”); she couldn’t get over how “big” the screen was.

We ended up having a falling out a few years later (unrelated to gaming) that we’ve yet to get over, but I’m still thinking about sending her this new Tetris Gold Game ($35) because of its 2.5-inch color screen. It would floor her.

Tetris on a color screen. Imagine that!
