We here at Game Informer spend a copious amount of time playing video games. We dedicate hours of our work days to playing games only to go home, kick up our feet, and play more. To my knowledge, however, no one on staff has shown such dedication as to pop the question to an in-game character, unlike a recently married Japanese gamer.The proud groom, who refers to himself as SAL 9000, has been joined in holy matrimony to Nene Anegasaki, the lucky lady from DS dating sim LovePlus. The ceremony took place at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, which is odd because that sounds like a place where smart people would go. There was even an actual, flesh and blood priest to legitimize the whole thing.SAL 9000 explains how he and his wives’ relationship was formed:“OK, this is pretty embarrassing. The DS has a mic and a touchscreen, so... one time, she asked me to say "I love you" a hundred times into the mic. I was on the airplane when she asked me that, so I was like, no way. There was also this part where you have to hold her hand on the touchscreen. If you touch her hand with the stylus, you get to hold her hand. And then there's the part where you have to kiss her.”Embarassing? Nah… Aren’t we all practically married to video games? This guy is just making an honest cartridge out of his game. We don’t condone pre-marital mic-blowing.
WTF. That is freaky
thats wild!!!!!
Tim, did you ever work for the Onion?
what if he dropped his DS?
So Tim, how soon until you propose to Sonic? Do you think he'll have you?
It's stories like this that make me concerned for the future of our society...
uh ok...
I fear for this man's life.
are you kidding me?
how is he gonna... you know... do it? what a loser
Lol......well in this crazy planet we call "Earth" should we be surprised? I'm sure not and I find it odd but amusing nonetheless.
Saw this on Kotaku yesterday, I laughed for a little bit, but it's true, video games are like a second girlfriends....keyword being LIKE. I love video games don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't go so far as to marry a set of pixels or polygons.
umm... look into his face he looks unhappy
When he cheats (which he will), he will get away with it!
this is... sad
That's creepy on about nine different level's.
