Kevin Rose, felled boy king of the internet Founder of Digg, started an r/IAmA thread on Reddit this evening, announcing—conceivably—that he will answer (some of) all the questions hurled his way by the internets. But, uh, it’s been 4 hours, now, and still diddly squat. More »
Back in the day, all a guy (or girl) had to do was buy a ring and get down on one knee to propose to the love of their loves. Things have gotten more complicated these days, and proposals are no exception. But more than that, they’re also getting even more creative. So how do proposals work for two massive gamers?
