The 2001 GSAT (gamespot aptitude test) is a lot of fun. There are a lot of industry writers here; let's see who can rack up the best score!

I got 1313. At least I beat wumpus. ;)

I think it's culturally biased.

Tim? 1313? You are either one hell of a lucky guesser, or you did some serious concurrent "research" while taking that exam. A couple years ago, you only played flight sims!
(not a chance in hell am I going to post my score)

That sounds like a very convenient number! Just browsing the hall of fame there aren't any scores within one point of each other, and the scores all tend to follow certain numeric patterns.. and 1313 is not one of them. :P
I'm not *REALLY* arguing over scores, I swear. I just don't like made up numbers being posted. ;)
Man, I can't even imagine the people who got scores higher than mine. I'll be the first to admit that I'm completely obsessed with gaming. Anything beyond that is.. scary.

1387. What, am I really that scary? ;)
No cheating, although I had to guess on pretty much all of the sports and racing game questions.

Good guessing, Alan. I refuse to discuss my scores. I absolutely suck. It's official. Apparently, I focus way too much on the games I like, and don't see much else...
Don't ask for numbers, gentelemen, because you won't get them.

No, really wumpus. You've got a stain on your shirt. As we used to say in the fouth grade: Ha, Ha, ha. Made you look!

Having lived in the Grand Ole South for this long, Gordon is much too polite and gentlemenly to accuse me of something as vulgar as cheating.

And you wondered why I wanted to sit right next to you during the exam!
By Dave Long on Monday, February 26, 2001 - 11:19 pm:
I'd been meaning to do this and finally got the time. 1287 for me. That isn't too bad considering all the Diablo II stuff on there. I guess I'm the only person on the planet that hasn't played that game.

The questions about new games messed up my scores.
I read a lot more about games than I actually play
them. I like reading a lot about irrelevant crap =)
I got 837, which I believe is a lot less than I
got the last time they had one.

No Ivy League game school for you with that kind of score!

I'm so ashamed =(
I blame Blizzard! And television.. television is
always to blame.
