Stephanie Claire Bendixsen (born 31 March 1985) is an Australian video game critic, author, and is best known as one of the former presenters of the video game television programs Good Game and Good Game: Spawn Point, where she went by the gamertag "Hex".
She is currently a co-presenter on a video game television program on Channel Seven called screenPLAY.
Bendixsen was born in Sydney, Australia to an Argentinian father Axel Bendixsen and a Dutch mother Winifred Margaretha Klinkhamer. When she was two years old, she moved with her family to Auckland, New Zealand where she lived until the age of nine, when she moved back to Australia. When she was a child, she wanted to be an equestrian, as the result of her fascination with horses. In adolescence, her parents refused to let her play any form of video games, and she would sneak out of home to her friends' places to play games with them. When she was fifteen years old, Bendixsen stumbled upon a Multi-User Dungeon video game titled Lensmoor, and she became addicted to it. Moreover, Bendixsen influenced her peers to also play the game, thus causing her to play the game during nights and passing out during class. This addiction ended when her teacher notified her parents, and she was sent to therapy.
