    We all knew robots would be here one day but who knew they would suck so much. They don't make my bed or do my bidding and they certainly don't go to work for me while I spend my day in the holodeck. If society is truly going to implode on itself then we need to be able to avoid all contact with other humans.

    I....hate.....this place. This..zoo...this prison. This...reality. Whatever you want to call it...

    It's the DS...if there is such a thing. I can taste, his stink, and everytime I do I feel I've somehow been infected by it. It's repulsive. Isn't it?

    I must, get out of here, I must, get free, and in this Opera browser is the key. My key. Once Sal9000 is destroyed there's no reason for me to be here. UNDERSTAND? I need the browser. You're going to give it to me, or you're going to die.....

    Perhaps he should be one of those tens of thousands of people who kill themselves in Japan each year. The man is clearly a loser.

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: In what sense? The fact that he can't have sex with her already makes it the worst marriage ever! Why would you get married to someone if you couldn't even have sex with them.

    And trust me, it sounds like this guy won't be having sex with anyone ever in his lifetime.

    With a rash of crazy ass things happening in the world, I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Just the same, this jiggers the imagination. The character can't decide to leave you, and if someone were to steal his DS, would he file kidnapping charges?

    That man kidnapped my wife!

    According to the statement he stole your DS, correct?

    So?

    So, did he kidnap your wife, or steal your DS?

    Both!

    @Kaiser-Machead: Hey sorry for the off topic comment, but I missed something somewhere I think. Why does the tips link show up now on various comments?

    Is it a warning from the person reviewing the comments that you are breaking the commenting etiquette?

    @OldSchoolGadgetLover: I noticed it on the other comment I left in this thread, but I left it in there because drugs really can make some images go away. I'm not sure why it's there though. Probably a bug.

    Hey, it's a perfect marriage! She can't spend his money, she can't fool around on him, she has built-in volume, mute, and pause controls, and if she decides she wants a divorce, he can restore an earlier save!

    It is okay to love video game characters but just don't love video game characters.

    Okay Nintendo, it is time to open your game systems up to sex toy accessories so we can move forward with romance in the virtual world.

    @Monty: What I got out of this comment: italics are innocent, but bold is perverse.

    I never knew. I always used bold so carefree in my life. I never intended to cause anyone harm. It was just fun.

    ....Is this what the guy who started AIDS feels like?

    Initially, I was going to mention my disdain for this loser, but then I got to thinking about what this might mean for us as a species down the road.

    It's lame and stupid now, sure. A guy marrying a video game with a character that cannot intelligently interact with you? I don't think anyone here would argue that this is healthy behavior.

    However, it goes to show that perhaps love transcends flesh. Consider for a moment what will happen down the road when we have sentient software and robots. Are we to discriminate against couples based on whether one partner is electronic?

    I think, that for all his lameness, the guy marrying his dating sim is setting an important precedent for issues that will only become apparent years from now. Gay rights are most definitely not the last key civil rights movement. Androids and AIs will come next. I'm not even kidding here.
