I am trying the baby for "dinosaurs" the tv show. he just can not get it. or maybe i do something wrong.

"I think of
Nothing"

lol.

edit: second try and now he got it.
 
Was able to stump it on Bernard Brodie. It's weird how it struggles after it guesses wrong; it seems to re-ask questions. I guess it wants to eliminate the possibility you misclicked. It also jumps in random directions; had it ask me after a series of questions about writing if he transitioned from gay to straight porn. Interesting app though, fun to try to think of obscure people to stump it with.

Damn, he's good.
 
I was thinking of Owen Chase - the person Chris Hemsworth plays in the upcoming movie In the Heart of the Sea. He was a whaling captain, and a survivor of the Essex disaster in 1819-1820.

At one point the Genie asked me if he's associated with a bird.I thought wow - no, a whale but you're getting warmer...

It guessed Mark Twain. Stumped it.

EDIT: Then I thought of Slayer's lead singer and bassist Tom Araya.

And hell's bells..

Wow, Michael Swaim from Cracked is in this thing

Trying for Kyle Bosman, so far he's guessed Drew Scanlon and Brad Shoemaker. Close, I guess? Right business, wrong site

edit: just guessed Matthew Rorie. GET OFF GIANT BOMB
 
It couldn't guess the Lab Assistants from the original Crash Bandicoot games in over seventy tries, yet it guessed my penis in seven tries. This guy has weird priorities.
 
It also got Lane Myer from Better Off Dead.

Took it one wrong answer but after that it got it in 5 questions.

Wonder what sort of database it runs off? If someone is updating it, thats a shitload of entries! It must rely on something else.

If it gives up, it lets you enter your person

Kyle Bosman is now in the system ;)
 
I picked Tyler Durden and it didn't get it. Asked me questions that were all around the mark (I.e. ones that would eliminate Meat Loaf and Edward Norton), but the closest it got was Angel Face on its second guess, all the other guesses I'd never even heard of.
 
Didn't get: Dogsbody from Space Vets

Did get: Rally Vincent from Gunsmith Cats, Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo, Penfold from Dangermouse, Commander Shadowsun/Caiaphas Cain/Ghazkull Thraka from the 40K universe...

It's an impressive database.
 
Motherfucker got Sagi from BKO and Dart from LoD. Props. Wasn't correct when I was thinking of Alison Brie though or Brie Larson but they were both among the list of possibles afterwards. Probably because I f'd up a bunch of answers incorrectly.
 
Wow, I stumped it through 3 rounds of questions. I was going for Mugger from Nig-Heist (a parody band that had some ties to Black Flag (not racist, I promise)) Never actually stumped it through all 3 rounds before. Nifty.
 
Holy shit, it knew Twist from Spaced. I thought that was pretty obscure. Although it says 212 people already used that character so I guess not as obscure as I thought.

Edit: 835 people picked "The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future". Still stumped it though.
 
He got the Swamp Thing right, although two answers were not what he expected, for instance, the ST has gone to space, but akinator wanted me to say he hasn't.

Got:

Jake Chambers (The Dark Tower)

Katsuki Shima (Clannad)

Phi (Virtue's Last Reward)

Black Hanekawa (Bakemonogatari)

Neferpitou (Hunter x Hunter)

Chiaki Mamiya (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time)
This was the only one that surprised me.

Didn't get:

Noriko Takaya (Gunbuster)

Amane Suzuha (Steins;Gate)

The database seems to have certainly improved. I remember it being wrong more often than not when it first came out.

that's strange since i just tried him and he got it in like six questions. he would seem like an easy one.
