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

Post by fenixkane » Wed Jul 14, 2010 5:11 pm

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.)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
