This slideshow from the NY Times website is very interesting.... real people photographed against their alter-ego's from their various MMORPG games... By interesting, I mean how the avatar reflects or accentuates the real person. Note the disabled boy is a robot... that was the most striking to me...

If you look closer, you will notice he is not a "boy", he is our age...
Ooh, so he is...
Which makes it all the more interesting he took a mechanical construct...
I thought he would be more prone to having an avatar that could fly like a bird... that would be the more "traditional Freudian" thing wouldnt it
(/me points to the distinct lack of a psychology degree on my wall)
I bet his name is "TIMMMMMMMMMMMMY"
