Xbox live parents have baby girl
A couple who met online and found cyber-love recently had a baby girl back in the 4-D world. Baby Victoria Marie Figueroa was born to online gaming enthusiasts Mike and Stacy after they met while essentially shooting at each other while playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Lockdown.
The two, who started out as opponents but soon became teammates, decided to take a chance on fate and meet up in the real world. Scarier than Xbox, let me tell you. Stacy was from Georgia and Mike was from the Bronx...and the rest is history.
Victoria was born September 27, 2007, which also happens to be my husband's birthday. She is technically not the first baby attributed to a romance kindled online in the gaming world. A couple who met playing another Tom Clancy game, Ghost Recon, brought Noah James Osmer Pitts into the world in January, 2005.

There are many more I'm sure. I've played online games with husband and kids for years. I've personally known several relationships that started during a game. It's like finding your spouse at a basketball game. You're both doing something you enjoy, and there is time for conversation and the discovery of other things you have in common.
Many online games also have very active communities on message boards outside of the game. It's a great way to find out a great deal about a person before you actually meet them in person. It's very difficult to hide your true personality for days/weeks/months.
