What does the word avatar mean?

[sonofhal]

From Wiki

[edit] Origin
The "avatar" derives from the Sanskrit word Avatāra, meaning "incarnation" and usually implying a deliberate descent into mortal realms for special purposes. The term is used primarily in Hindu texts. For example, Krishna is the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Vishnu the Preserver, whom many Hindus worship as God. The Dasavatara are ten particular "great" incarnations of Vishnu.


[edit] Computer games
As used for a computer representation of a user, the term dates at least as far back as 1985, when it was used as the name for the player character in the Ultima series of computer games. The Ultima games started out in 1981, but it was in Ultima IV (1985), that the term "avatar" was introduced. To become the "avatar" was the goal of Ultima IV. The later games assumed that you were the avatar and "avatar" was the player's visual on-screen in-game persona. The on-screen representation could be customized in appearance. Later, the term "avatar" was used by the designers of the role-playing game Shadowrun (1989), as well as in the online role-playing game Habitat (1987).

Wow, that is a very deep meaning, all of Naom Chomsky's linguistics students at M.I.T. must be happy.

I like this thread, it turned into a geeky video game thread. I rarely play video games, but somme gamer girls are cute in a Ghost World sort of way.

[tessalasset]

Jeff why is this thread going to be deleted? It should be saved for posterity.

[vinylmartyr]

Because Dani deleted the one in the Lineup forum.

[kroqken]

I think this thread has its charm to it.

[mountmccabe]

This is the earliest thread still in existence. I was intrigued by realizing that the Upcoming Shows one was #13. Apparently numbers 1 and 2 are lost to the mists of time. Or hidden threads in the secret forum.

[suprefan]

Only the friend that is psychic can tell us where the hidden threads are.

[Cpt. Funkaho]

bump.

Pay attention, young ones... this is from history.

[captncrzy]

I think I kept posting on the old board until they officially shut it down. Oh, the fun times I missed.

[tessalasset]

bump for posterity <3
