Social Gaming

Match.com has Nothing on Mafia Wars

Recent stats show that 17 percent of people meet their spouse online, so I suppose it isn't totally shocking these two connected on Zynga's popular social game Mafia Wars. Who needs to spout about your favorite movie or long walks on the beach? Let's get to the real story - how are you going to help me build my mafia, otherwise you're no good for me."We would deal with our war issues and then find excuses to talk up a storm about other things...We were like two teenagers in love," said hubby John.

Good for them. Anytime people are devoting hours to an interest and have something in common, love could spark. Just goes to prove that some of these gaming communities go beyond the game and have the potential to build real relationships...providing they remain faithful allies, of course.
