Gamer Avatars

In gaming everyone has an alter ego and this ego is called an avatar.  It is a person that is you and not you at the same time. This person is the gamer version of yourself.  Everyone that is playing the game with you or against you only knows you as this person.  I think that avatars are interesting because of the freedom it gives the gamer.  It makes it so that you can be a completely different person to a different kind of people.  Whatever persona you want you can have.  Plus for however long you play you can escape from reality.  So I really think that having avatars in games is a great thing for a lot of people.  I have multiple avatars myself in the xbox realm on FIFA soccer and Madden football. I always have fun being my avatar and plan to keep on gaming forever.
