Man hacks Chrono Trigger to propose to girlfriend

Guys using videogames to propose to their girlfriends is nothing new but this story officially raises the bar for nerdy romantics everywhere. 1UP is reporting that a man on YouTube, who goes by the username “TheRealPfhreak,” recently decided to use the Square-Enix classic Chrono Trigger as the vehicle for his marriage proposal.
