This is absolutely beautiful. I am very touched by watching this because I was in love with a video game character back in the day, and I became an internet celebrity because of it (Google JoshCube.) I enjoyed every moment. I wrote letters to her, made a song about her, built a website that took me 2 years to finish, and told everyone about it. Sure, people laughed, and people thought I was nuts. I think I probably just wanted someone like her. I don't know.......love is crazy......

I think this character did not want to marry him, I feel sorry for this guy ...

We don't have AIs yet. AIs learn and adapt. At max we achieved is making very, very complex programming.

Weird Yes

Creepy Yes

But at least the guy is Happy

Ho told CNN that He knows is just a game, but he has a strong feelings towards the Nene Anegasaki so he married her. There is people worse than him they say and there is.

In my opinion having a strong addiction to pornography is way worse than marrying a game (Not it).

This guy married a A.I Do you have a GF?

[Manuelle10]

The definition of forever alone.
