It failed the first time on harry potter! I mean really how can u mess that up?!? But I kept on going and eventually got it.

 

[shadow741]

The Comic Book Guy. Not even this thing knows his name. xD

You LIE! It said his name is Jeff Albertson, AKA The Comic Book Guy.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

My God... it got Moira Brown.

And Artyum from Metro 2033.

And Pyramid Head.

This site is amazing!

 

[Chogg Van Helsing]

Settra the Imperishable from warhammer and also Be'lakor from warhammer XDXD lol

 

[Adamc-mh]

[warrcry13]

OMG it Ragnar Blackmane from the Space Wolves omnibus that is awesome.

 

[VulakAerr]

Got Lea Salonga, Broadway actress. And many other weirdness.

Andy Zaltzman, British comic.

 

[Captain Booyah]

I tried Nikola Tesla and Sir Dan Fortesque; got them both right. It kinda didn't guess Mr. Collins from Pride and Prejudice (came up with Mycroft Holmes, the Rochester dude from Jane Eyre, and Lord Henry Wotton), but he popped up on a list at the end, so... *shrugs*

It didn't get Judge the dog from My Sister's Keeper, though! *sniggers, feeling clever*

 

[RobJameson]

Well if you try really vague characters like graves from operation arrowhead it fails because noones typed it in yet.

Also it sometimes fails because people give it incorrect answers, it also didn't manage to get Galileo Galilei which made me chuckle.

 

[miscelaneous]

Damn, got it after the second barage of questions, Jim Morrison.

 

[vanalla]

The most obscure person i could think of; Micheal Swaim from Cracked.com. guessed him right after 3 tries.
mind=blown.

 

[Unesh52]

I'm astounded. Not so much by the site, that's basically just a souped up database with an automatic query system, but just by the fact that there are over 30 pages of people being amazed by this.

 

[indiana_104]

Doug from ghost world stumped it.

You got the 1000th post, man!
AWESOME!

OT: It got Edison Trent AND Junko Zane from Freelancer on the first guess.
There's no debating it now.
It IS Skynet.

 

[Doc Funky]

Ho shit...it got Sho 'Nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, in only like 8-10 questions.

This is officially the best thing ever.

EDIT:
And, perhaps unsurprisingly, it guessed itself in about 8 questions. Nice.

 

[ClaptonKnophlerHendrix]

I tried John Petrucci, it guessed Kirk Hammett.
