Game Players And Their Avatars

New York Times Magazine has a slideshow of game players and their avatars (couldn't get the permalink-via-rss working, so you only have a few days to click through).

The players range from the heartbreaking (the seriously handicapped kid who even has a robotic avatar) to the banal (avatars who look like their creators). World of WarCraft doesn't get a lot of screen time; City of Heroes and Second Life dominate.
