Kokoro Scan: Finally, a Game That Will Cause Actual Real Life Violence

This new Japanese game, Kokoro Scan, has the player say several words into the Nintendo DS's microphone, then selects the one that most closely matches your "true feelings." According to a YouTube commentor—I know, but this one seems like he knows what's up!—the woman in this video says the following:

密会 mikkai: secret meeting
浮気 uwaki: cheating
同棲 dousei: living together
結婚 kekkon: marriage
離婚 rikon: divorce

Of course, Kokoro Scan picks "cheating." I sure hope this game comes out in the U.S.! So I can never buy it! Update: Not that I have anything to hide!

Is this the same great Joel Johnson, the same guy from Gizmodo who wrote his infamous 'I'll-never-write-about-gadgets-again' manifesto about his disillusionment with the IT industry? You're now writing for Boing Boing? Good decision then, since you won't need to sell out here..
