The gamer fell in love with the virtual woman named Nene Anegasaki while playing Love Plus, a dating simulation game.



The aim of Love Plus is to court and build a relationship with one of three cartoon-style women, but virtual romance was not enough for this particular player, identified only by his username Sal9000.



Last weekend he became the first person to officially pledge his love to a video game character in a ceremony at a technology festival in Tokyo.
The couple's special day was witnessed by dozens of computer game fans and overseen by a real-life priest, although he stressed that the "wedding" was not official or legally binding.



However, some reports on computer game websites state that Sal9000 had earlier married his digital bride at a chapel on the Pacific Ocean holiday island of Guam, where wedding laws are less strict.



Japanese computer gamers are known for taking an obsessive approach to their hobby, and Love Plus is the latest game to develop a cult following.
Players are expected to spend hours with their virtual crushes – buying them flowers, taking them for dates and making future plans. The girls alter their behaviour and personality in reaction to how they are treated.

oh wait.. I thought I was married to her.... that cheating character!!! :cry: :evil

Man I remember reading this story a while back, and it's the epitomizes the pathetic turn that some people take in the world. I was a bit curious though, what happens if he can't play the game for some reason? Like if the power has been out for 3 days or something. Does he just not talk to his "wife"?

Really sad story here if you ask me, but to each his own, right?

LMAO!! "does he not talk to his wife" I guess he gets the day off :p

I find if someone said X chic in X anime is hawt.. that's alright and for me a normal thing.

But someone saying I wanna marry or have married X chic from X anime... that's kinda creepy... He needs to find someone who cosplays as a anime character LOL!

I don't know if this man needs to find ANYONE. If you are marrying a video game character, then you must have unspeakable standards that no one in this world can meet. In all honesty, perhaps marrying a game character was the best thing for him. This way he can get exactly what he wants without harming anyone else!

LOL ya that is true... but I wouldn't wanna be the work friend, who goes over to this guys house.

Can you imagine a stranger friend going over to his place and sneaking out for his life LOL.

For some reason that post reminded me of the term "stranger danger" harry. Way to go.

But yes i couldn't imagine being the friend who gets invited over for dinner. "This is my wife!" followed my several hours of awkward conversing with an electronic device. Then everyone at the office finds out that you are married to a game and gives you crap for it. I wonder if this guy will end up going postal one day? Might be interesting to keep tabs on him.

just out of curiosity, wouldn't it be easier for guys to deal with a video game wife than an actual wife i.e: a real person? :p
