A Mario Brothers video game is projected onto a large screen on stage, as the Los Angeles Philharmonic plays for the premiere of the debut performance of Video Games Live at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

"I now pronounce you husband and what?!

In another sign that the world is about to collapse, multiple blogs are reporting that a fan of the Nintendo DS dating sim Love Plus (you know, the really creepy one) liked his virtual lady so much that he decided to marry her. For real.

Apparently, a Japanese gamer known as 'Sal9000' was officially wed to Nene Anegasaki, one of the game's three virtual girlfriends, in what must have been the weirdest ceremony in the history of ceremonies. We can only assume that Ms. Pac-Man was the maid of honor."

Which naturally leads me to ask: "If you could marry a video game character or any other fictional character, who would you choose?"
