akinator.com Seriously.....my friends and I have probably tried to beat it 200 times. It can't be beat. We've done reality TV people, people in movies that hardly ever show, people in independent films, it always gets it. *Seriously, this is actually me typing, its not spam. Just SERIOUSLY try to beat, this ***** freaking me out at 1 in the morning.

I beat it on the second try with Al Swearengen from Deadwood. It was close, though. Gave me Walter White from Breaking Bad.

After three more follow-up questions, it finally guessed correctly.

Beat it on my fourth try, with historian Tony Judt. Went to 40 questions and then gave up.

I think that it's supposed to be a fictional or real character though....

Tony Judt is a real person. I also beat it with Mario Rubinacci.

If we have to stick to fictional characters, I will keep trying, but I am pretty sure it can be real people.

Missed Matt from The Accidental Time Machine.

It guessed most ASOIAF characters.

EV NOVA characters won too

Juice gave him trouble but worked on his second guess. I also won with some obscure olympic athletes

It doesn't do so well with Golden Age science fiction either. Had to introduce it to some Robert Heinlein characters.

I gotta say though, it guessed some pretty obscure characters.

The thing got Captain Oveur from Airplane! in like 15 guesses and Egg Chen from Big Trouble in Little China in about the same number.

Was thinking of Robb Starrk (from A Song of Fire and Ice) and it guessed Jon Snow. Close but no cigar!

Also it did not get Richard Smalley.
