J's Chimes: Truly Devoted

By Djenar Siti

Yesterday was the birthday of a fictional character named Nene Anegasaki from the popular love-dating simulation game titled Love Plus. As to such, many of her devotees celebrated her birthday with real cakes and presents around their Nintendo DS... If you haven't already know what Love Plus is, click here to find out more. Else all I could ever say was that, this game has gotten someone to marry the game's fictional character, causes many divorces in Japan, has people hook on 24 hours interacting with the characters just like Tamagouchi (A pet raising toy popular in the past). However the case, this game is a double edge sword that can help or harm people. I actually wanted to try this game but it seems like it really doesn't work on the old model of my DS... Oh well, time to move on to the next in-thing now...
