Cool slideshow of people and their online game avatars. Here's the link:

It's weird with some of them, I'm not sure if they made their avatar similar to themselves, or they became their avatar. Interesting.

One poster accused me of being a snotty, frizzy-haired bitch like my avatar. I thought it was pretty funny.

No chance.

I do like his hat though, I'd definitely wear that. The bling is pretty cool too.

He is (was). I'm just using his picture in an avatar. I took this picture of the pope outside the hagwon he worked at in Daejeon early last year. I haven't seen him for a while though, the last I heard of him he was being deported by immigration for preaching at the local GS25 church thereby breaching the specifications of his E2 visa. I think he was using a fake degree as well.

For some strange reason people seem to think I am Naughty Nigel. Now if I was a dodgy porn star living the dream in SE Asia, what would I be doing posting on here?

You mean that's not you in the avatar? I'm strangely disappointed
