Jilted Gamer Sells the Ring and Buys Halo Armor Instead

[ThunderCavalier]

Nice to see people are dealing with their grief properly.

Wear that armor proudly!

 

[Strazdas]

what strikes me odd is why buy white gold for a ring? you are essentially paying for gold that looks like silver. i understand that in manufacturing it is valued, but as an accessory?

Also, as a gamer he should have known women are trouble.

now all he needs is to find some great gal wearing similar armor at a convention

"I'd wanted the suit for so long, and after such epic heartbreak, receiving each piece of armor - arriving in seven shipments, over the course of eight months - became an unintentionally cathartic process," he said. "As the shoulders, forearms, chest-piece, and helmet arrived slowly, one section at a time... well, with each part I got a small piece of myself back."

But clearly he's still missing his forearms.

I would have bought a really awesome sword personally, a proper tempered and edged one. But, the basic idea is the same. Sorry to hear what happened to him, but that's a pretty sweet way to get over it!

Yeah, but that'd have a different ring (pun unintended) to it, wouldn't it? "guy gets dumped. Acquires weapon."

That said, I'm a fan of warfare collections myself.

 

[The Funslinger]

Meh... We do not know the full story. He can just as well be the bastard in this scenario. Still... That is one good looking suit.

He should get a personal Barney Stinson and whenever it is time to suit up... That is what he should be wearing.

I think we could all use a little more Barney Stinson in our lives.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Hmmm... I think a lot of people are unfairly judging that woman. None of us know enough to make a fair judgement.

Still, awesome. I'm not a Halo fan, but awesome. If I ever have a diamond ring lying around I might have to get a suit of armour from some sci-fi franchise. We can have laser battles. It would be awesome.

Excellent outcome to an awful situation. This happened to a friend of mine a while back; he wound up selling the ring, and buying a sweet mountain bike instead. Now, he's happy, and has a sweet bike!

 

[SnakeoilSage]

Because when you want to tell her "you broke my heart and I never want to have anything to do with women again..."

 

[A Raging Emo]

A REAL Halo fan would have known rings only cause trouble.

(Probably ninja'd, but...)

You win this round!

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Can his next fiance dress up as The Arbiter?

No, she can dress as Cortana...

But still, this story is awesome.

 

[Radelaide]

So, the nerd in me is all "Aw, I'm jelly. I want badass armour."

But the girl-in-love in me is all "Wow, that would have been an AMAZING ring."

 

[Radelaide]

But then it all went wrong. She met someone else. She fell in love.

Translation: She was filthy piece of trash, and he's better off without her.

OT: That's a fairly....unique way of dealing with the situation. Well, as long as he's happy. Let's just hope he finds someone else soon enough.

And a man has never *ever* done that to a woman before. Man, fuck women.

/sarcasm.
