So I was doing this online 20 questions thing...

[fenixkane]

and I decided I would think of Turner from Lugaru. I was very surprised when in 15 questions it got it.

This thing is insane! It's gotten everything I've tried so far.
If you wanna try it it is here:

I'm gonna try the Whaleman now.
(P.S. Sorry if this should be in a different section however it feels like since this involves a character from Lugaru I felt that it would be most relevent here.)

[Count Roland]

Hah he failed so bad it was hilarious, though on the third try he got Count Roland, which wasn't who I was thinking of, but was very close. he gave up after that though. and then I saw the list and my choice was right there.

[Renegade_Turner]

Dude this thing gets everything. So far I've tried Turner from Lugaru, Gordon Freeman from Half Life and Artyom from Metro 2033. More to come. I love this game!

Just saw this on a different forum.

It's pretty nifty. Although I suspect that it's inner workings are pretty simple.

It got about 90% of whatever I threw at it. Historical figures, politicians, authors, movie characters, every Discworld character I could think of... you name it. Also, the entire casts of Half Life, BioShock, Mass Effect, Dragon Age and a few others. Hell, he even got Iji.

Beyond Good and Evil stumped him a few times. Heh. Apparently he isn't equipped to deal with bo-staffs or anthropomorphic pigs. He got them the second time around though.

Hehehe... I did Grace from Avatar and he returned "your ideal lover". That was amusing.

Nice! It got Turner for me no problem. The Whaleman required a bit of coaxing, but I bet the next person who dares summon the Whaleman will have no problem.

[Kicktar]

I tried Prince of Persia/Daston, he got it, and the last question was, is he Persian.

[Renegade_Turner]

It also got Justin and Feena, both from Grandia. Also, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Michael Cera, Michael J. Fox.

[Zhukov]

I tried Prince of Persia/Daston...

Wait... the Prince's name is Daston?

Erg.

[WallyWorld]

In the recent movie that is his name. He is nameless throughout the game series, unless they gave him one in the recent ones.

[Freshbite]

Appearently, Pedobear was a regularly searched character.

[Dudeman]

It got both Ender Wiggin and Julian "Bean" Delphiki from the books "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow". Quite impressive.

[Count Roland]

not really, everybody's read those books. it got captain ahab instantly, but couldn't get cyrus harding.

[Renegade_Turner]

I have not read either of those books, nor have I ever heard them mentioned by anyone in a "Wow I really love this book" or "You should really read this book" way.

I think that statement was rather foolish, Count Roland.

[Count Roland]

Yes looking at it now it is rather foolish, isn't it Ren? However, I suppose I am kind of biased by the fact that everyone I know in real life either got it as a school assignment or is an avid reader of science fiction/Orson Scott Card.

[Renegade_Turner]

What we got in school assignments were somewhat more widely-known and well-respected pieces of fiction, like To Kill A Mockingbird and Silas Marner. When I say widely-known I mean in general, not just by young people.
