[QUIZ]"},"content":{"rendered":"

Whether you play Candy Crush Saga<\/em> or Dark Souls 2<\/em>, you are a gamer.<\/p>\n

But did you know there are many different types of gamer?<\/p>\n

Take our ultra-accurate and scientifically-sound (according to the bloke who stands outside our offices in a big white coat) quiz to find out which type you are!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question 1: It\u2019s the 90th minute in a FIFA Ultimate Team<\/em> Seasons match, and you only need a draw to win the title. It\u2019s 2-2…but then your opponent scores a cheap winner. What do you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A) Scream expletives at the top of your lungs, throw your controller against the wall and rip your copy of FIFA<\/em> from the disc drive and smash it. Then send a message to your conqueror calling him something unrepeatable.<\/p>\n

B) Take a deep breath and remind yourself that it\u2019s only a game and there are more important things to worry about. Hey, you\u2019ll enjoy trying again!<\/p>\n

C) Trick question: you\u2019d never catch me playing FIFA<\/em> because EA are the worst gaming company ever.<\/p>\n

D) What is an Ultimate Team Seasons match?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A) Call of Duty: Ghosts<\/em>, or whatever the latest one is. There\u2019ll be internet on the island, right?<\/p>\n

B) Minecraft<\/em>. Then I can build my own world and not get angry at the massive injustice against me.<\/p>\n

C) Trick question: there\u2019ll be no power on the island, so I couldn\u2019t play a game. Alright, Diablo III<\/em>, if you insist.<\/p>\n

D) Candy Crush Saga<\/em>, please! I\u2019ll finally have time to beat my old high score!<\/p>\n

Your result:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mostly A\u2019s:<\/strong> congratulations, you are a standard gamer. You like playing Call of Duty<\/em>, FIFA<\/em> and other blockbuster titles. You might occasionally dabble in lesser-known games, but you don\u2019t have that much time. You enjoy the competitive element of gaming most, which means you might get very, very angry.<\/p>\n

Mostly B\u2019s:<\/strong> you\u2019re a seasoned gamer. You play a diverse range of games and see gaming as a hobby. Unlike the less-dedicated bog standard gamer, you maintain a sense of zen-like calm after years of being cheated and beaten by games and play purely for enjoyment.<\/p>\n

Mostly C\u2019s:<\/strong> you are a hardcore gamer. You take gaming very seriously, and count it as your number 1 passion in life. You\u2019re difficult to please, but you know more about gaming than anyone you know…and you could probably beat them all at any game too.<\/p>\n

Mostly D\u2019s:<\/strong> you\u2019re a casual gamer. The chances are you used to play The Sims<\/em>, and mainly play mobile games like Candy Crush<\/em> and Angry Bird<\/em>s. Even though you\u2019re referred to as casual, you probably rack up more hours on app games than any of other gamers.<\/p>\n

Let us know how you did on Facebook<\/a>, Twitter<\/a> or in the comments below!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that you can sell your games with musicMagpie<\/a> \u201d\u201c we\u2019ll give you a great price and you can put the cash you make towards the latest releases!<\/p>\n
