Man marries a videogame

by Ben Silverman

Buzz up! November 23 3:24 P.M.
I now pronounce you husband and what?!
In another sign that the world is about to collapse, multiple blogs are reporting that a fan of the Nintendo DS dating sim Love Plus (you know, the really creepy one) liked his virtual lady so much that he decided to marry her. For real.
Apparently, a Japanese gamer known as 'Sal9000' was officially wed to Nene Anegasaki, one of the game's three virtual girlfriends, in what must have been the weirdest ceremony in the history of ceremonies. We can only assume that Ms. Pac-Man was the maid of honor.
While the two aren't planning a honeymoon -- after all, one of them is a VIDEO GAME -- they did hold a small 'reception' in Japan for friends, family and the media, indicating that this is most likely little more than the looniest video game publicity stunt we've seen in some time. Check out this video recap by Boing Boing, complete with footage of the happy, er, couple:


I just hope they signed a pre-nup...

I wonder what they're doing for their wedding night.....

 

[Drakon]

Voiding her warranty, I'd imagine.

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

What the f---?

 

[DarkReflections]

Is the guy that lonely?

 

[Deaths Head II]

This is going to be the wave of the future. I can feel it.
​

 

[DarkReflections]

Im gonna hate the future then.

 

[Manic]

That's it. I'm done here.

*packs bags and abandons the human race*

 

[BillyZaned]

So... TheImmortal! or ETM as you were once known.... looks like you have a chance of getting married....

 

[Wylie Times]

For some reason the fact that it's a DS game makes it much funnier.

 

[Casius--J]

A little mix of gamer and surrogates happening here.

Oh dear

 

[CConn]

I swear, you drop a couple atomic bombs on a country, and everyone goes screwy.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Well it could of been worse, he could've married one of those dogs from that virtual pet game.

 

[ChickenScratch]

I wonder how the wedding night went?

 

[The Battousai]

I wonder if this is considered "re-defining marriage"

 

[Ghostvirus]

He could of at least chosen someone with better pixelation.

 

[SuperFerret]

I swear, you drop a couple atomic bombs on a country, and everyone goes screwy.

Seriously.

 

[Sebastos]

 

[terry78]

Yeah, at least hook up with a ho that's got some shading and particle effects.

 

[katie_girl09]

Digital lovers are the way of the future! No whining and STDs!

 

[Paradoxium]

WTF is wrong with some of the guys in Japan. First those creepy long pillows with with half naked anime girls on them and now this.

 

[enterthemadness]

So... TheImmortal! or ETM as you were once known.... looks like you have a chance of getting married....

I don't wanna get married. married life means no sex. I can be single for that. and if I get married, I can't have my own football team of kids from many different women of different races J/K! I want so many kids I can field a entire NFL team AND UFL team .

As for this guy and topic at hand...damn.

 

[DarkReflections]

Digital lovers are the way of the future! No whining and STDs!

You shouldnt get ahead of yourself. If Blade Runner, I Robot, and 2001 has taught us anything its not to trust any computers or just anything that has any circuits in it whats so ever.

 

[Sloth7d]

This is the same country that used to have vending machines with used panties in them. Nothing surprises me anymore.
I also heard about a guy protesting in Japan because they wouldn't allow him to marry a manga character. At least now he knows where to move.

Awww these crazy east asians

 

[Heretic]

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THAT IS INSULTING TO THE SACRED PACT OF MARRIAGE.

Regardless of the country, it is GOD that seals a marriage bond. By allowing a man to marry a video game character you are merely blurring the lines of morality. Soon there will be petitions from pedophiles wanting to marry Paperboy, Kid Icarus or that little punk from A Boy And His Blob.

Because any change in the norm of marriage will lead to legalizing pedophilia...according to Conservative blogs anyway.
