XBox Plays Matchmaker
By Donald Kaufman Love tees off playing Links 2004 I've never found love playing on Xbox Live; the last time I thought I found Ms. Right online, it turned out to be an eleven-year old Bangladeshi boy. Imagine my dismay. Claire Wilcox and Shane Nelson, on the other hand, had cupid's arrow traveling through their Xboxes and now are engaged to be married. Here's how they met playing Links 2004, from The Sun:It was an open contest — meaning anyone in the world could join in. Claire said: “Shane asked to play. He was quiet to start with until I remember saying to one of my friends, ‘I just want somebody to romance me’. “Shane cut in with his deep Southern drawl, and he said, ‘Down girl. Where do you live?’” Now they're talking every day, and have even used their headsets to hear each other sleep. It's the kind of thing that's marvelous to the people in love, and a tad nauseating to those single folks out there.
