man marries virtual video game character



this past sunday a most unusual wedding took place between a japanese video game player and his virtual
girlfriend. the man, going by his game name sal9000 married the character nene anegasaki, from the
nintendo ds video game love plus. the wedding featured many of the elements of a typical wedding
including an mc and an audience as well as a few unusual things such as a speech by another virtual
character. the events were streamed live online using the popular video site nico nico douga. the love plus
game allows players to go on virtual dates with the digital characters in the game, fostering a relationship
with them, just like in real life.

William Gibson wasn't so far off after all with his Idoru.

Makes perfect sense to me. Doing something that means almost nothing with something that IS almost nothing. Like religion and wizards in movies, marriage has finally found it's home within the realm of the ridiculous. I gotta find me a wife1.0 that sparkles like Nene.

Conversation has to get dry at some point. So does nintendo get half the guys assets when they divorce? And where does the ring go?

This is really an insane idea! Actually, I've been also attached on my BloodElf on WoW and been grinding wow gold almost everyday just to see her. But, it never came to my mind on marrying her like that guy.

Ahuevo potras, por tu nombre sé que eres mexicano. tú sabes que estamos peor. ¿y qué?

because of you nickname, Ahuevo potras, i guess that you are mexican. me too. let me tell you (and you know it) we are SICKER. and it's 0k.
BTW, carl, you're almost there.
and if it makes him happy(sal9000), and it programs her happy... WTF?
@bird: lol
