Remember when you had to pay for the number of text messages that you were allowed to send and receive each month? It seemed pretty absurd at the time, especially when you consider just how little data is actually transmitted for each message. But the price wasn’t there to offset the cost of transmitting each text message. Instead it was … Continue reading

Ever since Mario Maker arrived, Nintendo fans have been making all kinds of cool Mario levels. Most of them are just crazy levels that are super hard to complete. The most challenging and nail biting level of them all? The marriage proposal level.

Check out this video from Geekologie reader Shane, who proposes to his girlfriend Pam with a special Mario Maker level he built.

It starts out normally enough, but as she gets to the end of the level, the bricks and blocks spell out “Pam Will You Marry Me?” Now that’s how a geek proposes. Pam gets pretty excited and emotional and of course she says “yes.” So as it turns out, his princess was not in another castle.

Congratulations to the happy couple. That is putting Mario Maker to good use. If you want to marry a woman named Pam, the level code is 7A61-0000-0245-8DE8.

Back in the good old days of vanilla World of Warcraft, gold wasn’t as easy to come by as it is today. With the release of every expansion, things just seem to keep going up in prices. Nowadays it is relatively easy to earn several thousand gold just by running instances, dailies, and completing regular quests.

That being said with all that inflation in the game going on now, there are probably players who have stashed several hundred thousand, if not millions worth of gold away, and in the upcoming Legion expansion, Blizzard will reward players with a lot of gold by giving them a way to spend it all.

For starters there will be a new gold cap set at 10,000,000. There will also be the introduction of a new NPC called the Mad Merchant. Right now he appears to be selling only four items. The first is the Bloodfang Cocoon which is a new spider mount that will cost a whopping 2,000,000 gold. Then there is the Prismatic Bauble priced at 250,000 gold that leaves behind a trail of rainbows whenever the player moves.

This effect lasts 20 seconds and has a cooldown of 20 minutes. Then we also have the Madman’s Luggage which costs 500,000 gold and is basically a 34 slot bag. Last but not least there is the Celestial Calf, a new battle pet that will cost 1,000,000 gold. Obviously a lot of these items will be out of reach for the majority of players, but if you do have more gold than you know what to do with, this could be one way to spend it.
