Behind Every Great Character...

Some of you may have already seen this, but I felt it was cool enough for a front page post. The BBC is hosting a photo project by photographer Robbie Cooper, featuring screenshots of characters from online games next to pictures of the gamers who play those characters. Cooper's subjects span a range of demographics and occupations. Each set of photographs is accompanied by a description of the gamers and their motivations for playing games and for choosing their particular character.

"Bae plays a man because she thinks that male avatars have more charisma, she wants to 'project strength', and all the 'masters' in the game have male avatars. She says if she had to play the game alone she wouldn't bother."
It's an interesting piece. Just, uh, watch out for #3. Don't say I didn't warn you.
