Most of those pictures, although there is not very many, actually resemble the true identity of that person.

Cool slideshow. The handicapped guy's pic really hits it home how important the internet and online gaming has become. BTW, my avatar is from a drawing I made about 6 years ago. See any resemblance to the real me?
