ok...this just trips me out..

[Jack Macaque]

Haha I remember this thing from years ago, it guessed everything but OJ Simpson I believe, not sure anymore.

I was amazed when it guessed Goku, that was enough to convince me.

But...how does this thing work?

A big ol database i'd imagine. With good cross-referencing and questions it's exactly how the human mind would do it. You cut down on the other possibilities.

I suppose that makes sense, it's like that board game Guess Who

 

[McNinja]

It guessed Squall Lionheart, but not Tidus.

 

[esperandote]

Ah I hadn't play this in a while

It guessed Yanni on its first try and Björk in its second try (Answerd Enya the first time)

 

[Veldel]

Ha I beat it


Its pretty good but beatable

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

Sigh... Akinator, my old friend...

It's been too long...

 

[PaintDrinker]

For me its gotten:

Caboose
Ford Prefect
Arthur Dent
Mr. House (FNV)
Tobuscus
Seananners
Yahtzee
Nick (l4d)
Steve (minecraft)
Notch
Marvin the depressed robot (cant remember his proper name )
Sunny Smiles (FNV)
Caesar (FNV)

It's gooood.

 

[ApeShapeDeity]

Major Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell) - Nailed it

King Monkey (Chinese mythology) - Nailed it.

Muttley (evil side-kick, from Catch That Bird) - Nailed it

Dexter the monkey ( A Night at the Museum) - Nailed it

Ron Jeremy (porn) - Nailed it


I'm suitably impressed!

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

How this topic keep coming back?

Oh right.

 

[demoman_chaos]

He got Bruce Lee
I thought James Hetfield, he guessed "James Woods (Family Guy)" Close in name, but not in anything else.

I figured out how it works though. It has a database of well known people and attaches them to certain answers. Like for Bruce Lee, he is marked as a dead martial arts expert. It searches through the database and eliminates certain people depending on your answers. It won't say Chuck Norris if you say yes to the "are they a singer" option, for example. If it gets something wrong, it asks who you were thinking of and modifies its tags accordingly.

 

[Delock]

It guessed Monday! Black Monday Blues! This thing is amazing!

 

[Nopodop]

It guessed caboose... And it didn't ask if it hated babies.
It guessed Victor (New Vegas), Viktor Reznov (Black Ops), the creeper (Minecraft), Altiar (AS 1), Leonardo (Although not from AS 2 or 3).
I stumped it on Mazoga the Ork from Oblivion though.

 

[Ih8pkmn]

Let's try Okami Amateratsu.

Damn. ok, too easy.

Let's try Issun.

Crap.

Uh... It knows Jade From beyond good and evil, Zamorak from Runescape, and Migi from the Parasyte Manga. Damn.

Ok, Let's try the masters from Echo Bazaar.

HA! It guessed Lord English (whoever the hell that is).

 

[Nanissimov]

Holy crap, i did benny from fallout New vegas, it totally guessed!

 

[Gasaraki]

It got Jack White, Dante (from DMC), Ragna (from Blazblue), Akira Takizawa (from Eden of the East), Soul (from Soul Eater) and a bunch more.
It's like the gates of pop culture knowledge hell have been opened

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

It got adam jones, shit these things are creepy

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

I always stump it with bass players from obscure death metal bands

 

[Mariner]

By playing with it, you are making it stronger

 

[LandoCristo]

Aha! I fooled it with Boss (Delta 38) from SW: Republic Commando. First it guessed Stormtrooper, then Kyle Katarn (?) then finally got it.

 

[SangRahl]

hahaha i defeated it, i was thinking of emily browning and it missed 3 times!

however at the end when i asked me to select who i was thinking of it ihad her name

This happened to me, too.

I stumped it with Emile Antoon Khadaji from Steve Perry's Matador Series... and when I was prompted to add my answer to the list, I was shown "Emile Khadaji (Matador Series)" as a similar name.

Next 3 rounds (Harry Dresden, Richard Marcinko, HAL 9000) were all guessed at the end of the first round.
