Flamboyant male user of online computer games, who is often more concerned that his avatar looks
attractive than it’s effectiveness
in the game setting.
Considered by many to be simply a geek, the more astute online gamers also sometimes realise he’s a battyboy.
Can often be found in PlanetSide, WoW or WC3.
Favours elements of games that are impressive or show flair. A wannabe powergamer purely because he gets bored so quickly. Infamous for creating dozens of characters in an MMORPG rather than actually playing one to completion.

green hair looks as good as the purple... hmmm... think I’ll start over.”
