Internet reads your mind

[Dasquian Belargic]

Basically, it's a site which - through a series of questions - claims to read your mind and know who you are thinking about. It's kind of obsessed with thinking British people are in Harry Potter. Still, it's amusing how it can deduce who you're thinking of basic on relatively few questions.

It managed to guess:
Darth Vader
Orlando Bloom
Kate Beckinsale
Jack the Ripper (last two questions were, 'Is your character bad?' 'Is your character French?' :lol logical progression...)
Edward Scissorhands (How? HOW?! seriously the questions didn't lead to this answer at all..)
Henry the VIII (Does your character speak Portugese? Are they invincible? Are they a religious figure? Are they considered evil?)

But it could not guess:
Guy Pearce
Mia Kirshner

[Karl Valten]

It got Popeye..........O_O

[Peter McCoy]

It got Manuel Calavera!

And Andrew Ryan (Bioshock), Shodan from System Shock, and Hellboy.

But it didn't get Paul O'Grady.

[Kale]

Reminds me a lot of the online 20 Questions game.

Except it didn't work for me; apparently there are too many people playing. I'll try it again later.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

It got Joe Montana :)

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Five swings, five misses.

A friend of mine (who's NOT my dream girl, even if I want to date her), Greg Gutfeld, Marty Turco, Claire Forlani. Michael Madsen

[Selinica Miriya]

It got Hannibal Lecter. O_o

He didn't get Vlad the Impaler... but he came close. He gave me Dracula.

He didn't get Offred from The Handmaid's Tale ... but he did give me his mom.:lol

And he totally got Corran Horn <3

[Captain Untouchable]

"Is your character the son of God?"

That's awefully specific. It got Jesus, and Elizabeth Weir from stargate, but it didn't know Gary Sinese or Gus Grissom. :(

Edit:

What the... how did it get Gillian Anderson? It didn't even ask relevant questions... >_<

[Kale]

Did not get Cluny the Scourge.
Did not get Reepicheep.
Did not get Willie Parker.
Got Troy Polamalu.
Eventually got Mike Tomlin.
Got Rose Tyler from Doctor Who.
Got a Dalek.

[Mandy with an I]

It got the Devil, but some of the questions made no sense.

E: It got Spider-man, but it asked if the character was related to spider-man comics/story. o_O

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Missed Mats Sundin and Samuel Adams (the politician), although it was closed on the latter (guessed Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton).

Edit- got Winston Churchill.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Hey Taylor, asking about people YOU know but who no one else does doesn't count. ;)

[Aurelias Kazaar]

It said 'My Dream Girl' that counts :p

Edit- Got Odin. Wow I'm impressed on that one.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Holy crap it guessed the lead singing of Rammstein.

[Dasquian Belargic]

It got Oliver Cromwell in 19 questions... 19 incredibly vague questions, about whether or not he had a beard, was Polish or a citizen of North America.

So I thought I'd try and go a little more vague: Hunter S Thompson. It got him in 20 questions.

Not vague enough, huh? How about... Haruki Murakami. Got him in 20, after somehow asking if he was Japanese on question 5, then muddling about with 'Is he a religious figure?' 'Is he American?' in the later questions.

Alright, real people are too easy. Let's go for someone fictional... Tyler Durden. (Question 13: Is your character a member of a club?) Got him in 19.

Still too easy apparently... try and guess Illidan Stormrage, you smug genie bastard. (Question 9: Is your character from the Warcraft series?) Got in 18 daaaaamnit.

Ok, Rex XIII from Final Fantasy VII. (Question 20: Is your character from the Final Fantasy series?) Uggggh got it in 20. Screw this genie.

[Crusader]

wow he got Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg (tried to assassinate Hitler) right.
Oh and he got Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars right.

[Neutron]

Too many people are playing I guess.

Yeah now its not working for me - his word bubble is empty. :(

Oh and he got Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars right.

It doesn't always ask the same series of questions, in the same order, so I guess there could be times when it gets a certain person and other times when it doesn't.

[Yog]

It correctly guessed Winston Churchill using 13 questions.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Guessed Joe Sakic and Frosty the Snowman, didn't get Odd Thomas.

Bwahahaha. Couldn't get Eliza Dushku :cool:
