MAN LEGALLY MARRIES HIS GIRLFRIEND TRAPPED INSIDE HIS GAME BOY


From GamerCave
Interesting fact about Guam: You can apparently bring your virtual girlfriend there to get married. Smitten with the fair anime maiden Nene Anegasaki in Love Plus, a man reportedly took his Nintendo DS to a Guam church, where he and the very two-dimensional character were wedded in arguably unholy matrimony. The report originates from Gizmodo.jp, which received a letter to the editor explaining the situation. The man intends to celebrate the marriage in Japan, and has invited the media to look in on the ceremony at 12:00 p.m. (Local time? It’s not clear) on Sunday.
Love Plus is a Nintendo DS game that has players court three virtual women. In the first half of the game, players juggle relationships with all three, but the second half becomes open-ended, letting the player develop a relationship with the character through communication and interaction. There are over 5,000 scripts in the game, 150 CG events and 20,000 voices. Love Plus uses the Nintendo DS’s real-time clock, so events in the game depend on when you’re playing. What I’m not sure about is whether Nene knows that she’s married now. That could be a disaster. Oh, and if you think this is a one-off thing, consider that over 3,000 people have signed a petitionseeking the right to marry 2D characters. Will Guam become the 2D avatar marriage capital of the world?

I don't care who you are.. that honey moon is going to suck. And what if you meet a, uh you know real woman ? Are you really going to turn her down to be faithful tour virtual wife, that may or may not know she's married to you?...... FAIL.

BTW.. The Wedding is in two days. The man has invited media to attend and I promise to cover it if I can...something about these screams publicity stunt but it's still legal, there's something wrong with that.
