Wizard Will Guess Which Game Character You're Thinking Of
Prepare to waste the rest of your day

I think this has been around for a while, but this is the first time I've heard of Akinator. It's a 20 questions program that doesn't follow the standard yes/no tree structure. It uses some kind of probability system, which allows it to have more than 1,048,576 people to choose from. You can have it guess real people (I tricked it with Rick James [bitch!]), but I've had more fun making it guess video game characters. So far it's been almost spot on. I've had it guess Alucard, Cortana, Terra, and it almost got Marcus Fenix (it chose Dominic Santiago instead).
What video game characters can you stump it with?

He guessed "Daisy Duke" for "Carmen Sandiego"....
Sometimes he'll guess wrong because he asked the wrong questions, but if you try another round he'll guess it right. He did that with Cecil from FFIV.
Nope, didn't know Razor from Maniac Mansion. It guessed Judy Nails from Guitar Hero! Well, they do both play guitar...
The problem with Carmen Sandiego is that she was in both a television show and a video game... and the TV show question comes first.
I had that issue with Mega Man too. It asked if the character was in an anime, which he was. I had to say no to that question to get him.
I don't know how I pulled it off, but I managed to get Carmen Sandiego when I was thinking of SHODAN from System Shock.
FUCKING SWEET I gots Auron from FFX! Teh hotness!!
Now I got Alucard from Hellsing, Vash the stampede and the protagonist of Persona 3. XDD
They have a surprising amount of Final Fantasy characters in there. They did not, however, have Emperor Gestahl.
Although I stumped the character---when it presented Lady (DMC3), I was thinking of Hanna/Hana from Fear Effect, and when Gene from God Hand came up, I was thinking of Glas from Fear Effect. lol
Holy shit thats insane! I tried Garrett from Thief.
