There are a lot of couples in video games, but is there romance? Mario and Peach,
Luigi and Daisy, Link and Zelda, The Brooding Loner and the Star-crossed Japanese
Flower Girl Who Loves Him, and -- of course -- Samus and the baby Metroid. Do any
of these games do romance well, or is it just assumed? And how far is too far with
player-to-NPC romance?

Sean and Vinnk wonder if video games can truly ever be your Valentine as they discuss
these problems, the likelihood of your characters ever finding true digital love,
and the potentially unfortunate state of Princess Zelda's armpit hair.

Read our show notes for a more complete list of romantic couples, and links to the KEEP PLAYING: Romance series for
