Cheap Date: Play Games at Your Place

Little known fact: though most girls may not actively be playing Left 4 Dead and Halo, they do enjoy retro games. C’mon, who can really say no to hunting some ducks and jumping on mushrooms?
Video games at your place are a perfect way to break the ice. Just get Mega Man or Mario Kart 64 going on your Nintendo Wii’s Virtual Console and make sure you connect the original controllers–for authenticity, of course–to your Wii via this adapter:
The Komodo Wii Adapter lets you use your N64, SNES, and Nintendo controllers (even the cheap third-party stuff). It’s $20 and will be out in mid-June.
If you still have your original Nintendo systems from way back when then more power to ya.
True Story: My friends Mike and Ally played Nintendo on their first date and have been dating for almost three years now. I need to get me a Nintendo. . .

For the record, I happen to own (and play) both Left 4 Dead and Halo! Though I’m currently working on the new Oblivion… truly, the depths of nerdiness.
