A quiz I made way back in 2012 challenging people to identify 12 angry bald video game characters who have been separated from their bodies. It only gets harder with every passing year.

I only played like two of the games represented here and I can only distinguish one of those characters: #3 is Alec Mason from Red Faction Guerilla actually
The hilarious part of this is that I didn't even recognize him from my absolute favorite entry in the franchise, lol. Somehow I managed to completely forget how different his facial model was for that one title, despite the fact I'm even a big fan of the voice actor whose appearance 47 is based on.😄
I immediately identified Cole MacGrath from Infamous. Then identified 3 others I'm pretty sure are also Cole MacGrath. So I think that's a failing mark for me
I got, 1 - Nathan Hale from Resistance, 3 - Mason from Red Faction, 5 - Cole McGrath from InFamous and 7 I think Is Shepard from Mass Effect? - I recognise 9 and 12 but still can't work out who they are, the rest of them, fuck knows.
Remembering that brief glorious moment when Sony tried to position Cole McGrath, the most beige character in an era of ugly art design, as some kind of platform mascot.
I hate that I specifically recognize that that Starkiller model is his Soulcalibur IV face. I may not know all my bald white men, but I know THAT bald white man.
Fairly sure 7 is commander Shepard and 12's general angle makes me think of the guy from The Force Unleashed when he appeared as a guest character in some Soul Calibur.
Also one of these must be Nico Bellic but fuck if I know which.
No. 5 is Wayne Rooney from FIFA. Nico from GTAIV is one of them, but I have no idea which one. Guessing Default Shepherd is there, but I don't know which one as I only played as One True Female Shepherd to escape the boring angry bald men that were the style of the time.
