Man Marries Video Game Character

[IamKira]

but you have different settings, so it wouldn't actually be his wife unless you got every one of those correct.. and if i were him, that would be flattering to me

you get to create your character to your specifications ..who wouldn't want that?

you are conversing with me over a computer.. now imagine that instead of being a human computer (which we all are.. it's really obvious, we have data storage and computational processors and an operating system) we replaced me with a simulated person which mimicked a real person to the dime... how would that be any different?

Do androids dream of electric sheep?

that's messed up...
even the most advanced a.i. in the world is still just that: artificial.
if you were replaced with a simulated person which mimicked you to the dime how would that be any different?
well... you've answered your question right there, the simulated person is simply mimicking.
computers act based on human programming, it's just a bunch of 1's and 0's.

maybe one day when Harrison Ford comes to hunt down escaped replicants I'll change my mind about this.

but until then, androids only dream of electric sheep if they're ordered to.

I think you may be mistaking Love Plus for some other game, as the characters are already set. They`re not "make your own perfect girl". The only bit that you really change is your in-game "character"... setting day schedules and leveling up as a boyfriend. As you level up your in-game persona, the girl will sort of go along with the stuff you like, etc, as she is supposed to be desperately in love with you.

You don`t change settings and make a girl of your liking.

This guy has obviously broken new grounds with this. He's downright defied the laws of Science. I'm going to follow in his footsteps. I'm going to find a copy of Death Note, and get married to Misa Misa tomorrow. I shall be the first person to be wedded to a DVD.

Well, well, well.... it's a Jerry Springer moment.

Three words: Seek professional help.

I was wondering...if he turns the DS off does that count as murder?

Or if it shuts itself down, is that suicide?

He married her on Sunday.

There was another man who told his wife he was cheating on her with a virtual character a few months back.

Talk about lonely...

Wow, how can he even legally marry something that's not even real?! This guy has some issues.

Lol, omg that's so funny. It does seem like that's as close as it gets. He better hope he never forgets to charge his DS! I wonder if he's going to get insurance on his "wife" now....

If he had trouble with the ladies before I would think he's only made it worse now. If he were to divorce and then hook up with a real girl, what would she think when she found out his ex wasn't real? Would she feel jealous about her looks or would she run at the first chance she got, lol?
