Check out this link: (
http://kotaku.com/5491909/kneel-before-the-hardcore-gamers-iq-test)
Its to a page on Kotaku with a big pic containing loooooads of game characters. I was shocked at how many I recognise and how many I can name and from what games (I can tell which is Altair and which is the new guy from AC2!). It made me feel like perhaps gaming is a bit too big a part of my life, especially as I can name/recognise loads of characters from games I haven't played! At least if I'd really put the time in!
Anyways, I thought it might be a fun thing to link too but massive lists of who you can name would probably be dull, which is why I haven't done it.

IQ != knowledge

That's it. There's a woman standing to Batman's right on the last row that looks incredibly familiar, but I just can't place her. It's driving me crazy. Anyone know?

Jesus Christ. Row 6 has the 3D Dot Heroes protagonist and just a little away are what look like the ships from Star Control 2 just above Spelunky's Indie dude. This thing is platform and release-date agnostic.
I can spot a fair few more, but I'm too lazy to make a neatly organised list.

Garrett is left out but Thief is represented by one of the enemies.
And I didn't know how to do that dethtoll.

It's in the link you provided- Kotaku links to the appropriate deviantArt page.

That picture is just way too full of characters to be any fun.
