I am in SERIOUS trouble here with my girlfriend. So I have been working at Game Stop for the last six months to try to save up money to get my girlfriend a really nice present for our anniversary/Valentine's Day. I was making a good chunk - about 150 a week - nice for part time.
Anyways I started spending that money on frivilous crap - thinking 'it's ok if I save a bit here and a bit there I can get enough'. Turns out I spent almost all of it... I only have a bit left - I spent about 2000 of my savings on PC upgrades, WoW Subscription fees, Burning Crusade, XBOX 360 and HALO games, and a lot of Papa John's pizza.
So my problem? It is Valentine's Day and I have no gift for her! I'm freaking out. I wanted to get her a trip to California for the summer... but thats not going to happen. She doesn't know that is what I was going to get her - but I told her it's going to be a HUGE surprise and that I think she would really like it. You can see how I am screwed.
So I need you to hear out my idea and see if it is good - and if you think a girl would like it.
Basically what I am going to do is making a MUD game in which she is the 'princess' and I am the hero who is sent to save her. Rather then equipping me with staves and enchanted items like in WoW or Guild Wars or something I am going to be equipped with 'trinkets of truth.' Basically these trinkets of truth are going to store up all my 'love energies' and can be dispelled to fight monsters, open locked doors, etc. You can fill them up by killing demons and beasts - and you will get higher level ones the more you fight - because you are proving your love. The final challenge will be to battle an evil monster who wants to steal her from me - but my love will (if she plays it good enough) triumph.
I am thinking this is a really good idea because girls like things like love and romantic heroes and stuff. Do you think this is a good idea? I really really do... but I wanted others input. She doesn't play games but I'm thinking that a MUD is a perfect start for a non-gamer.
So my plan is to make a romantic evening tomorrow and put my laptop with the MUD game on in a box wrapped up. I will have some sparkling apple cider (because I dont want her to get drunk while playing my game - it's hard to read MUDS trashed!) and some pizza I can make or something.
What do you think? I think this kicks ass! I have they basic game already designed from a past MUD D&D game I was doing - I just have to fill in the text.. gonna be a long night.
Thanks for your advice!
