    Before WoW I played Ultima Online, and the co-GMs of my UO guild were a couple that had only met online. About 6 months after I started playing, they had an in-game marriage, and then about 6 months later both moved to Las Vegas to buy a house together (I think they’d met in person once by this point). Under a year later, they were married in real life too. Last I heard, they were still together.

    If you’re out there Ramirez and Azizza, I hope you’re still happy.

    Post-internet life is a weird place.

        I see your contextless non-sequitur CoD:MW2 campaign reference in a reply-to-a-reply 15 comments down on this thread. I like to think we all have a tiny Keith David sitting on our shoulder, yelling at us to live our dreams.

          I feel so seen!

          If I made a few people get minor PTSD from that level and hear his voice in their head for a moment, I’m happy.
