This thing is pretty good.

I started with easier things like "King Arthur" and such and went to Anime-characters later
He guessed everyone right

Saber/Archer/Rin/Sakura
then Fred from the Flintstones and so on...
and he even found out my World of Warcraft character + other game-characters I could think of.. even pedobear

try your luck ^^
It's really amusing.

[Xelbair]

It failed me - I was thinking of Reinmar von Bielau from one of Sapkowski's work(Narrenturm, God's warriors?(no idea for English title), Lux Perpetua books). it said to me "your rpg character".

[Buffalobiian]

HOLY SHIT! He guessed Index?!?!?!

His questions weren't even hitting that close, but he got it......pretty cool.

[Kraco]

Damn. This thing surely knows what it's talking about! It got Väinämöinen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4in%C3%A4m%C3%B6inen) correctly. Though it had already been asked 287 times... I guess quite a few Finns have visited the place before.

[Buffalobiian]

He didn't get Dhianeira from Heroic Age though :o

His first guesses were pretty close though....some blond from Legend of Galactic Heroes, followed by Releena Peacecraft (Gundam Wing).

I might have confused him since I didn't consider psychic powers = magical powers.

[Nadouku]

Should this be merged with the Internet thread or left alone?

I inputted some anime characters to test it and it got almost all of the Bleach characters correct, except for Zaraki Kenpachi... for some reason.

[Augury]

This is pretty fun. I like how his expression changes as he is closing in on the answer. Sometimes he asks a question that is dead-on (like "Is your character from the Warcraft series" or "does your character have orange hair") that makes me laugh.

Did you guys check out the Top Characters played list?

[TheBladeChild]

wow holy crap hes like 6/7 from me, i was guessing random people too.

[XanBcoo]

Wow, I'm very impressed. He guessed correctly for me with Winston Churchill, Jennifer Aniston, Naruto, and then Keith Moon, using under 15 questions.

It then took him 20 questions to guess John Paul Jones (bassist for Zepp) and then Victor Wooten.

I really really want to stump him but I'm afraid it will ruin the magic :(. It's hard to think of something that's not too obscure so that it no longer becomes fun.

Edit: hahahaha, I was thinking of Steve Blum (the anime voice actor) and he gave me the Shamwow guy. Best surprise ever.

[animus]

It guessed Brandon Heat surprisingly.

[Ryllharu]

I beat him with Ivy Tamwood from the Rachel Morgan series written by Kim Harrison. It was on the right track, it guessed Anita Blake.

[XanBcoo]

I just now stumped him with my favorite author, Tim O'Brien. He thought it was Salinger. Then I felt bad and thought of Reggie Fils-Aime. Took him 20 questions, but he got it.

I didn't know Reggie was Haitian.

[Buffalobiian]

Guess he didn't know Australian politics too well neither. My character was our Former Treasurer Peter Costello. He got as far as our Former Prime Minister John Howard. Good enough I guess.

Poor guy looked like he had hypertension :o

[animus]

Failed to get Michael Strahan former NY Giant.

And surprisingly, he got Tir McDohl from Suikoden and Fei Fong Wong from Xenogears, Horned Reaper from Dungeon Keeper, Jesus. And most surprisingly he got Hosaka from Minami-ke.

It didn't get Flik, from Suikoden.It didn't get Jarexx from Redmoon (A really obscure and not very known Korean MMO).

[masamuneehs]

GOT:

Guts (Berserk), Heero Yuy (Gundam Wing), Ginko (Mushishi), Casshern (Casshern SINS), Splinter, Mister Clean, Fyodor Doestoevsky, Reinhard Lohengram (LOGH), Hideki Matsui, a few others... (the girl I secretly love)

Missed:
Yang Wenli (my giant robo rider answer was probably bad though), Vicious (Cowboy Bebop), Loran Cehack (Turn A Gundam). one other I forgot.

This is ridiuclously good fun. Kudos to whoever managed to make this thing.

[Psyke]

It got Ultraman and Kamen Rider correct from me. Awesome. I even tried Shinnosuke and Nobita.... and he got it!

[Marik]

Heh, this is pretty fun. I tried to get him to guess Kurt Warner, but he thought of Brett Favre instead. Warner's name was second on the list, so he was pretty close.

[Board of Command]

OMG WTF??

It guessed Kusanagi Motoko (the Major) right!

It even got Lunamaria Hawke. However, I tried again for Meyrin and that failed. It answered with Lunamaria again.

[Assertn]

My first one was Vash the Stampede. He guessed wrong. He was asking some questions that seemed like it would be obvious, though...

Ahaha...another one I was thinking of a friend of mine, and he asks the question "Is this character a friend of yours?" then followed by "does this character use a sentient weapon?"

sentient weapon??

[Board of Command]

sentient weapon??

Yeah. My friend from high school doesn't use a sentient weapon.

I tried Ai and it didn't get it.

[Buffalobiian]

I tried Ai and it didn't get it.

The first time it got it within 20 questions. This second time took a bit longer, asking things about R&B and stuff....but it still got it by the 40th question. Apparently it's been only asked 200 something times, so it's not that common. Still, it's built up quite the question database already:
