You know, leave it to my favorite female videogame blogger, Hawty McBloggy, to whip up these hysterical Halo inspired Valentines. I’m looking forward to eventually playing a game with her on Xbox Live. We’re friends on there and all, but I’ve yet to play against her, mostly out of fear and respect.
The Valentines feature some classic gamer pick-up lines that are guaranteed to either “get you some virtual action or… get you slapped.” And with lines like “I was following the indicator of where to score and it brought me straight to you” we can see why.
For just $5, you’ll get six mini Valentines, made out of card-stock and held together with a nice ribbon. Read up some of the sentiments on the Valentines after the jump.

I’m like a plasma grenade. Let me get on you and you are guaranteed to explode.

Epic pickup lines, very nice. Reminds me of the Left4Dead Xmas cards. Halmark needs to get with the gamer program.
