In the video above, you’ll observe one of the more epic maneuvers ever conducted in a videogame. A gamer by the handle of Jed05 has used the nifty LittleBigPlanet level creator to avoid that whole “on your knee presenting a ring” thing. As you can see, he decided to pop the big question through cuter, non-invasive means.

If you’re wondering about motivation, Jed05 is willing to supply. Slashgamer picked up this nice explanation:

I’ve been wanting to do something creative to ask her to marry me, and what a better way then LittleBigPlanet! I know the last part of the level may not be that exciting, but I have a fiancée now!”

At least she replied in the affirmative. Even if she didn’t, LBP allows users to generate all sorts of facial expressions with Sackboy. Jed could have expressed his deep sorrow by mashing up Sackboy’s face.

To be honest, I'm jealous of Jed05's nerdom. I shall top him right now by proposing to my girlfriend of 2 years via a videogame blog post. It might be our anniversary or something, so perhaps she'll be more inclined to reply yes. Anyway -- will you marry me, Estee?

[UPDATE: Apparently we've been together longer than two years (four five years) and according to her, "I should know our anniversary." Also, I was joking.]
