Title: Something fun to check out

I found this today. You think of a character and the genie will guess who you are thinking of.

It really isn't adventure game related, but I thought of many actors and answering questions, the genie got about 95 percent right. 

It even got Patrick Swayze too.

Just something for fun.

Yes, I've played with this before. It really is rather great.

WOW

Spoiler
I was thinking of Adam Savage of Mythbusters, and the damn genie got it. Without asking many questions.

Hilarious. It worked the first time, for Shrek, but then the second time round, I was thinking of Princess Diana, and it came up with someone called "Lolo Ferrari". And judging from the picture, I probably don't want to google image her :D.

Wow, cool. He guessed everything from Virgil to Ron Stoppable. Great program!

I tried Maya Angelou and it didn't guess it. Didn't set a lot of guidelines for choosing characters, though.

QuoteI was thinking of Princess Diana, and it came up with someone called "Lolo Ferrari".
It was a porn actress, quite famous for having the biggest breasts in the world. The confusion is quite funny.

It knows Barbapapa, I'm happy.

This is pretty cool.

I started off with an easy one - thinking of Link, and it took a lot of questions to figure it out and I thought "Well, this ain't so cool".

Then I tried The Nameless One, and it got it remarkably quickly. Same for Morte. I thought it'd be hard to figure out where they fit in, because they're both 'bad' characters even though they're portrayed for the most part as the 'good guys', and the genie seems to ask if they're goodies or baddies, but Akinator came through :P

Edit: I tried Paul Denton and it came up with JC Denton, which is pretty close, as well. Still, glad I managed to trick him  ;D

It got Zoe Castillo from Dreamfall from rather general questions.  I'm impressed!

Mental, it got Nathan Drake after 17 questions. A PS3 exclusive character who has starred in 2 games and has one of the most generic images and job title.

Oh, it got professor layton too!

Also has some trouble with Arthur Dent, although it's in the list.

Well, he didn't get Glottis. Makes you wonder what more important activity he could have been engaged in in 1997 than playing Grim Fandango.

He even got Phil Mitchell!!!
Haha, and pretty quickly aswell...!!!

[edit]

Thanks for reminding me of that. Someone posted that link in my uni-forum a year ago or something but I've totally forgotten about it.

Sometimes it's rather obvious but sometimes it's rather astounding how he guesses right with only a few hints.

Great post Domino! :D

He got Alucard from Hellsing in only 12 questions! Okami Amaterasu from Okami also took 12 questions!
Really cool.
