I. BEAT. AKINATOR!

DYRE · 2011-06-22 15:01:58

Yeah, I don't know a single thing about the game other than that it's about touching middle schoolers who might be witches. Which, you know, is pretty much all I need to know about a game to decide whether I'd want to play it or not.

Also it apparently had a sequel.

In any case, I'll probably not be able to play any of them any time soon since my computer sucks (so I can't really emulate it) and importing video games is really expensive (so I definitely won't buy it).

nohaynicklibre · 2011-06-22 18:37:38

So I'm thinking about Homestar Runner

He asked me if my character was a human being and if it wears shoes

YOU HAD TO ASK THAT, DIDN'T YOU

Nyktos · 2011-06-22 19:04:04

Garet's sister Kay from Golden Sun wasn't in the database. Been a while since I've gotten one of those.

Edit: Also stumped it with Varg from Codex Alera.

Edit 2: Riku of Two Reflections was also not in the database, but to be fair the product he is from came out less than a week ago.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-22 19:11:24

Does Homestar Runner the character count as a human?

Does he have hands?

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-22 19:11:51

One annoying thing about Akinator: It does not aim for probably/partially or no/not really or "it varies" answers.

Nyktos · 2011-06-22 19:15:08

Man, Akinator's good. I did Riku again (to try and add a picture) and it actually got him. Took forty questions, but still, getting it right the second time a character's ever been done. I'm impressed.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-22 19:19:06

Pick one of these:
* famous
* obscure

All Nines · 2011-06-22 20:13:35

^ I picked a not-very-paid-attention-to character (Samuel Peabody from The Dresden Files), and he wasn't even in the database. That's the first time I've had that happen.

Vivi · 2011-06-22 20:16:46

He got Laurie from That 70's Show, but I beat him with Dawn's Mom from Pokemon.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-22 20:20:15

C'mon, people. Pick one: famous, or obscure.

Nyktos · 2011-06-22 20:27:59

Famous

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-22 20:31:21

Okay, an obscure character in a famous series.

Pick a series:
* Metroid
* Evangelion
* Eureka Seven
* Castlevania

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-06-22 20:39:01

That penguin thing from Eva. Or Kraid from Super Metroid.

DYRE · 2011-06-22 20:40:05

How is Kraid obscure at all?

inkblot · 2011-06-22 20:42:48

It beat me with the Facebook "Like" button, but I beat it with its own speech bubble.

It's fun trying to see which person/character Akinator gets the fastest. Or make an obvious character, having Akinator guess it, and continuing anyways as if you're still thinking of the character.

For instance, Lady Gaga - Ke$ha - Cascada - Miley Cyrus.

Gordon Freeman - Barney Calhoun - Shrek (!?) - John Freeman.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-22 20:53:32

Kraid is large and fat and obnoxious.

Penpen is also rather famous.

But I'll try both.

Question #9: Is your character a bird? [yes]
Question #19: Does your character have a sharp nose? [does a beak count as one? I don't know]
20 questions: Pen Pen (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Target: Kraid
Question #8: Is your character a member of the current government? [LOL I DUNNO]
Question #16: Is your character linked with Nintendo? [yes]
Question #17: Is your character abnormally large? [probably/partially; I don't know what's normal for his species]
Question #18: Does your character die extremely frequently? [probably not, I don't think twice counts]
Question #19: Does your character appear in the Zelda series? [no]
Question #20: Does your character appear in the Mario series? [no]
20 questions: Mother Brain (Metroid series)

Wow, I expected Kraid.

Question #22: Is your character a dungeon boss? [yes, I guess]
Question #23: Does your character appear in the Final Fantasy series? [no]
Question #24: Does your character appear in the Mega Man series? [no]
Question #26: Does your character practise kung fu? [ROFLHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA--no]
Question #28: Does your character speak? [he cries out in anger, agony, or who knows what. I'm going to go with no.]

30 questions: Waterwraith (Pikmin 2)

...what

Question #34: Is your character green? [yes...finally?]

40 questions: Kraid (Metroid)

FINALLY.

Vivi · 2011-06-22 20:55:44

I'm trying to see which Pokemon can beat it.

inkblot · 2011-06-22 20:58:38

^ I got to 25 with Castform, 30 with Tangela, 20 with Quilfish,

Vivi · 2011-06-22 21:00:37

It got Xatu in 12.

DYRE · 2011-06-22 21:04:56

For obscure characters from not-obscure series, I beat it with The Mirror from Cardcaptor Sakura, which was not yet in the database. Though, other Clow Cards were.

inkblot · 2011-06-22 21:05:27

^^ Remoraid and Mantine made it to 40.

Try using water pokemon (they're so over-represented that a few are bound to slip through the cracks) or Expies.

Nyktos · 2011-06-22 21:06:49

Got Lapras in 20.

glennmagusharvey · 2011-06-22 21:07:33

Target: Aoba Tsuzaki (Jinki and Jinki: Extend)

Question #17: Does your character play Protoss? [wut. no.]
20 questions: Mai Waifu

Okay, who put that there.

30 questions: Misaki Kureha (Divergence Eve)

...no.

40 questions: Mana Tatsumiya (Negima)

Well, it seems that Jinki is too damn obscure for even Akinator to know.

Akinator, meet Aoba Tsuzaki.
