"Do You Look Like the Average PC Gamer?"

Found this cool article on Gizmodo depicting the average PC gamer

 

Do you look like this?

If you're a white male aged over 35 with slightly feminine features, maybe you do!

The composite picture above was put together by UK-based Runescape developers Jagex. At a recent event for fans of the game, it surveyed 1,000 players about their personal lives, and took 500 photos to create the eventual image above. So, Ok, really it's the average face of a RuneScape-playing PC gamer (though you'll be hard pressed to find a PC gamer that hasn't at least tried RuneScape!), but the survey did also turn out some interesting, perhaps surprising, statistics.
Most interesting of all is the finding that 18 per cent of the game's players are female, and that 34 per cent are aged over 35 years old -- shaking up the presumed norms that girls don't play videogames, and that gaming is the reserve of teenagers.

 

So, it isn't QUITE the average PC gamer, but more so the average Runescape player.

An average RS player would be much older.

They said that 34% are over age 35

Combining all those faces like that ended up giving him really smooth skin, mainly because everything's blurred. A lot of skin tone, wrinkles, and ear shape get lost.

That said, I'm pretty sure that's my nose...

Missing a well groomed moustache, glasses and hair. Oh, and the sexiness, completely missed that.
