    Failed to guess False King, Maneater and octopus guard from Demon's Souls. I thought he was getting close to Maneater when he was asking about green skin, wings and a tail.

    That's funny, because it nailed King Allant for me in 20. And I suspect it had me figured out earlier.

    You're not one of those people who made it expect "No" as the answer to "Does this character own a castle", are you? :)



    Speaking of people giving wrong answers, apparently the people who use Akinator disagree with me on whether or not Lily from Black Swan is bad.
    I answered Probably Not and it was expecting Probably

    I was doing the surfer bro turtle Crush from Finding Nemo. The 20th question guess guessed his son, which I was like "Well, maybe that's close enough" but I continued answering questions. The 30th question guess was the crab from The Little Mermaid, and I was pretty psyched because I thought I had thrown it off my trail.

    It got it on the 40th question guess, though.

    I beat it with Sid from Skins (UK). It did guess Tony from the same show, so it got close.

    He utterly failed to guess Grubby from Teddy Ruxpin (YES!). He even got confused and asked a couple of "how many legs" questions more than once.

    Does he always quit for good after 50 guesses, or did he just get tired?

    EDIT: And it took him 40 guesses to get Lavos.

    The best thing is to pick some obscure person from history that you just happen to be distantly related to.

    It completely derails any chance of him guessing right.

    I'm sure I could beat it with something pretty obscure but i'm really impressed that it got

    Richard III
    George Lass (Dead Like Me)
    L (Death Note) so quickly

    George Lass was the closest to throwing it off, but once I got, does your character have a pet, then does your character have a sister, it knew.

    It got Anomander Rake from the Malazan Book of the Fallen. I suspect the last three questions were toying with me, within pretty much six questions. Is in in a book (yes) is he in LOTR (no) is he a bad guy (no) does he have white hair (I think the computer had guessed who it was by now) Is he dark-skinned (yes) is he the son of a god (yes)
    didnt think he would get it

    It's not bad if you're doing stuff from video games/comics/other geeky stuff. It got Fone Bone right off. It had trouble with most real people I tried out. It also got Don Quixote, but couldn't get Rocinante, which bugs me for some reason.

    No one has ever heard of Manic so it was fool proof!

    Stupid genie, Daleks aren't robots. And why the heck do you think Cyrus from Chrono Trigger is a sailor or pirate?

    It seemingly had no clue who the Ouendan group was by question 30, then question 31 is "Is your character from a rhythm-based game?", question 32 is "Is your character always dressed in black?", and it didn't even bother asking any more questions.

    I got Neko Case, but it seemed on the cusp of going for Jenny Lewis.

    However, it expected me to say no when asked if she had a high vocal range. wtf?

    I'm not sure which I like more, finding the fringe characters/people it has trouble with or watching it home in so creepily fast on popular characters.

    It guessing stuff like 'your pet guinea pig' is also cool, though.

    From my earlier attempts:

    Agro in 20
    It didn't get Avion (Colossus #5), but it at least guessed Colossus after 20. (I clicked Too General)

    I haven't messed with this in over a year, but last time I did it got Bartimaeus, who is a snarky demon without a true physical form. I had to answer nearly every question with a negative or "I don't know", and he still got it.
