What kind of gamer are you...TAKE THE QUIZ!!
What kind of gamer are you? With all the stereotypes about ADV gamers, don't you really want to know what lies in the center of your gaming soul? Well why not have someone else tell you! PC Gamer is going to tell you, so step up and bring your brain...
EDIT: Thanks to RPS for the knowledge Take the quiz! http://survey.ihobo.com/BrainHex/ I ended up wholly unsurprised at my results Your BrainHex Class is Conqueror. Your BrainHex Class Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Conqueror-Mastermind. You like defeating impossibly difficult foes, struggling until you eventually achieve victory, and beating other players as well as solving puzzles and devising strategies. Each BrainHex Class also has an Exception, which describes what you dislike about playing games. Your Exceptions are: » No Mercy: You rarely if ever care about hurting other players' feelings - mercy is for the weak! Learn more about your classes and exceptions at BrainHex.com. Your scores for each of the classes in this test were as follows: Conqueror: 19 Mastermind: 16 Seeker: 15 Survivor: 10 Achiever: 8 Daredevil: 7 Socialiser: 0 Now keep in mind I took this quiz a a single gamer. Who doesn't like some Guitar Hero or Rockband with some non-gamers now and again? You go in thinking you have the advantage as a gamer, and still get your ass handed to you... |

Your BrainHex Class is Mastermind.
Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Mastermind- Seeker. You like solving puzzles and devising strategies as well as finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things. Each BrainHex Class also has an Exception, which describes what you dislike about playing games. Your Exceptions are: » No Fear: You do not enjoy feeling afraid, preferring to feel safe or in control. Your scores for each of the classes in this test were as follows: Mastermind: 18 Seeker: 18 Socialiser: 11 Conqueror: 11 Achiever: 10 Daredevil: 4 Survivor: -3 So basically a tie between seeker and mastermind... If I had to choose, I'd probably say seeker, though I haven't actually read its description yet. At first I thought the fear thing was a bit over-exaggerated, but then again it might be true. I do like the occasional close-call-situation (like, being low on ammo against a large number of foes or something ), but then I've never enjoyed any kind of entertainment meant to literally frighten. I guess I'm looking for... Well, entertainment. Last edited by UPtimist; 10-03-2009 at 07:19 AM. |

Well for someone who usually prefers playing by myself I've just had a great time working on the "getting out of the room game" with misslilo and others.
Maybe I should re-do the test after this new experience.

Well, they got the main part right, at least...
-- Your BrainHex Class is Seeker. Your BrainHex Class Your BrainHex Sub-Class is Seeker-Mastermind. You like finding strange and wonderful things or finding familiar things as well as solving puzzles and devising strategies. Each BrainHex Class also has an Exception, which describes what you dislike about playing games. Your Exceptions are: » No Mercy: You rarely if ever care about hurting other players' feelings - mercy is for the weak! Your scores for each of the classes in this test were as follows: Seeker: 20 Mastermind: 16 Achiever: 12 Daredevil: 9 Survivor: 4 Conqueror: 2 Socialiser: -1 -- So the main part seems bang on the money (and unsurprisingly similar to various others AG members' results), but the exception part is so far off the mark - the exact opposite of reality. I generally marked down any multiplayer/social aspects of gaming in the questions, and this has been interpreted as me having "no mercy for the weak" and a disregard for others' feelings. Which is curious to the point of amusing, because what I dislike most about multi-player games (on the rare occasions I play them) is that I don't want to be repeatedly in situations where others' feelings are hurt, so I avoid this by not playing these games. I'm the guy who surreptitiously slows down when playing Mario Kart DS, or ditches certain pickups without using them, if I see my opponent getting too far behind. Or I fake messing up a button combo in Virtua Fighter to lose a few points, so that I've got to battle my way back from behind. (And don't care if I lose, if it all goes wrong.) So... generally interesting, but there seems to be a definite flaw in the methodology somewhere along the line. |

We're all a bunch of anti-social Mastermind Seekers! I think I'm closest to you though Trep, only a couple of points difference here and there Very interesting and quite tough to answer if you like a mix of things.
It's interesting that most of the commenters under the Survivor section are disagreeing with the "Favourite games of Survivors surveyed so far include Bioshock, Grand Theft Auto, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill." Like me, they all preferred games such as Thief, Stalker, Call of Cthulu, Eternal Darkness rather than some of the 'heavy handed' examples above. Maybe only a certain type of Survivor that plays Thief, Stalker et al comments on Brainhex while the others are busy just filling the form out and leaving! Quote:

Seeing as how almost everyone has had a low to negative survival score I think I'm gonna stick with you during the next zombie outbreak.
