The "Hardcore Gamer's IQ Test" Will Make You Feel Wussy

[HentMas]

HOLY!!!

i just realized i know more than halve of these guys, and the other halve i have seen them but dont remember the names...

DAMN YOU LIFE WASTED ON VIDEOGAMES!!!!


as for the questions... no idea, havent really given a thought, i just opened the pic and looked at it from top to bottom...

 

[Susan Arendt]

Wow. I'm not sure if I should be proud or disturbed by how many of them I know.

 

[saejox]

i spotted 3 unreleased games. Beyond Good&Evil 2, Full Throttle 2, Alpha Protocol.

also i feel kind nerdy, i know all these characters.

 

[Aurora219]

Same here. I can recognise most of them. Until I look closer and realise I didn't even SEE half of them. Then it goes down to a small number and I start trying to blink again.

 

[Dublin Solo]

And "holy shit" is actually in the tag words!

 

[AboveUp]

This is the kind of thing I'd want to print as a poster so I can cross out the bits I know and write down everything on a piece of paper.

Sure I could put it in MS Paint or Photoshop or GIMP or whatever, but that wouldn't feel right.

I couldn't find any other place in this post to put the obligatory "40000 hours in MS Paint" jokes.

I'm getting more than I thought I would, I'm going to see if I can't figure them all out though.

 

[cmstewart87]

I am too lazy to do more than just scan it quick to see what I can identify. I found 7 of the bobble heads though. I'll be damned if I could tell you which bobble head is which as it is usually just a tiny part of it seen >.<

Console mascots is a tricky one as after Sonic and Mario are their really many official console mascots and how do they qualify?

I'll have a go though.

Mario (obv)
Sonic (obv)
Kameo (360 launch title and closest to a traditional mascot at the time)
Sackboy (Arguably promoted as a PS3 mascot)
Master Chief (Accidental XBox mascot)
Crash Bandicoot (Is a sony mascot)
Pitfall Harry (Atari 2600 mascot? I give up.)

I don't see Segata Sanshiro or Zool. Maybe Alex Kidd is in there somewhere.

 

[The Infinite]

I could get about 3/4 of the characters, some are rather generic looking so I couldn't figure out exactly what they were from, and others I just hadn't got a clue. Haven't tried the other challenges yet though.. But one thing I got from this is: LucasArts could you pleaaase make a Full Throttle 2. Get Double Fine to help you if you want. Ahh how I love that game.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I feel like a dork for recognizing the vast majority of characters there. I got a good laugh out of the inclusion of the Bad Dudes.

 

[Premonition]

IQ rating of those that do this seriously: 10

IQ rating of those that do this for shits and giggles: 195

 

[Bagaloo]

It's not actually as hard as it seems, seeing as a fair portion of them seem to be very recent characters.

It would just be intensely time consuming to figure out.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Mad props for including Spelunky guy.

 

[Fox242]

I got some of it, but I won't get all of it. I'm glad that I at least tried and that I managed to find quite a bit more than I expected.

 

[Tharwen]

I don't want to click the link! I don't want to!

Oh shit... I clicked it...

Well, see you guys in a week.

 

[Demigod At Play]

So I found that I could name about 75% of the large characters, and maybe.... 25% of the small ones. Also, in my first look I found zero bobbleheads.

 

[Dottie]

naming them isn't the hard part it's the rest though I am a little ashamed that I can name the vast majority of the characters there.

 

[Gimelbub]

I got a quarter of them... maybe. I was surprised to see White Glint, though. On that topic, Armored Core: for Answer is represented by an enemy character and White Glint is dead.
