A Man in Miami
Schizophrenics have more social skills than me.
I'm all about offbeat games, wikipedia, nerdy girls, beer, red wine, and Kurosawa movies.
Someone called me a weeaboo the other day. I looked it up on Urban Dictionary and realized that I can't make an argument that I am not. Dale North suggested "otaku" is a better classification for those of us that aren't pretending we're Japanese.

The dude was just trying to have lunch with his girlfriend, and some asshole red demon comes and steals her. Arthur marches to Hell and back - quite literally - to save her. Feel the love.
So much so that I wouldn't be surprised if Jonathan Blow had read it himself.
As for other games, there have been romances, of course, but I don't think it has been really well explored as a theme, no.
My first video game obsession was console RPGs. After a couple years, I started noticing more and more relationship elements showing up in stories. My turning point as a fan was playing Thousand Arms and Harvest Moon PS1. Now I'm buying games and visual novels which are not-yet-translated, but according to TLWiki here -- http://www.tsukuru.info/tlwiki/index.php?title=Category:Off-site_Ongoing_Visual_Novel_Projects -- might get fan translated.
