• well I suck. 30 other people have been Superman, _90_ other people have been Lister, sheesh. And I'm guessing that way too many people have been the Cat ("are you descended from cats" would be the giveaway there).
• Wow. That's not bad at all. It got Willow from Buffy fairly quickly - which I wasn't too surprised by - but I really thought I'd got it stumped with Rob from High Fidelity. But, eventually, it got there. (What it says about me that those were the two characters I pretended to be is, I think, another matter.) Right. Time to get really obscure on it's ass...
• just got it with ET though. It thought I was Yoda.
• Have you ever chased after a hearse that you mistook for a getaway vehicle? Uh, did Maxwell Smart ("Get Smart!") ever do this? I can't remember.
• Stumped it three times. It didn't get Catwoman (Halle Berry one, though I might try Michelle Pfeiffer later), and Vincent from the old TV series Beauty and the Beast. Uh... can't remember my third character, it was from a film.
• I beat it. It didn't know Reginald Perrin from 'The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin'. But now, presumably, it does. Maybe we should try the other one.
• Aha! It not know modern American indie films well. Bob Harris from Lost in Translation and Albert Markovski from I ♥ Huckabees both stump it...
• The other one got it after quite a few questions. Amazing.
• A friend says it mistook Ash (Evil Dead) for The Love Boat's Gopher. heh.
• Try really old British sitcom characters. It gets stuck on those. The other one doesn't.
• Got it with Steve Myers from The Man Who Sued God. OK, done now. *goes off to try Sprocket from Hercules Returns*
• It figured out I was Napoleon Dynamite, but it took like infinity questions, and it didn't even spell my name right. This is pretty much the worst video game ever made.
• It thought I was Peewee Herman, when in reality I was Exidor. Never thought I'd type that sentence in my lifetime.
• I was Mike Brady, but I quit after question #60 or #70. It was getting lame as it was just running me through a list of every character in there.
• Polychrome: It just mistook Yoda for ET when I tested it. It seems to think all small green people look the same. Racist.
• I was thinking of changing my name to Exidor.
• I stumped it with Petey the dog (Little Rascals), Marvin the Martian and Lou Costello.
• Am I the only one who remembers Hardcastle and McCormick?
• easy to beat if you have marginally offbeat taste. Stumped it three times in a row with Mr Blue from Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Putney Swope from Putney Swope, and Jonathan Cabot from Gymkata. Think I'm going to try an Underwater Nazi Zombie from Shock Waves next.... wonder if Kuwabatake Sanjuro from Yojimbo is in there yet...
• "Am I the only one who remembers Hardcastle and McCormick?" I was trying to forget, to be honest. That's 20 years of work at erasing my memory down the drain. Thanks, bernockle!
• Only 12 other people have been Edmund Blackadder! Right, off to try Baldrick...
• bernockle, *sings* Slow motion man. Iron and steel in the palm of your hand. High flying heart. Bettin' your life on the state of the art. Lay down the law. Don't you let 'em cross the line. 'Cause under the hood, got the bad and the good, and everybody's doin' time. Drive! Push it to the floor till the engine screams. Drive! Drivin' like the demon that drives your beat. You're on a hard road, nobody cares If you hit the breaks. You gotta think fast, keep it in gear, One slip is all it takes. You gotta keep your wheels on the straight and narrow, If you wanna survive. *stops singing*
• Aha! I nailed the bastard with Sir Humphrey from Yes Minister. Take that you cybernetic smartarse.
• Stumped it with Spock, Carl the Carrot, Young Mr Grace, Benny Hill, Hyacinth Bucket, and Cecil the Seasick Sea-serpent.
• I was going to try most of the names beeswacky just used, but I fooled them on G'kar fom "Babylon 5" (who the computer thought was a video game character I never heard of), Captain Peacock from "Are You Being Served?" (who the computer thought was Chandler from "Friends"), Taz the Tasmanian Devil (who the computer thought was Tweety), Miss Hathaway from "Beverly Hillbillies" (who the computer though was somebody from "Austin Powers"), Alan Harper from "Two and a Half Men" (who the computer though was Raymond) and as a real challenge (since he's not a FICTIONAL character), Rich Hatch from "Survivor" (who the computer thought was 'leo decaprio from the beach'). The computer got me on Dharma from "Dharma and Greg", although whoever gave them the name misspelled it as 'darma'. This game needs more smart players... we MoFites need to take over...
• I am saddened that it can get Neo by asking specifically if I'm the one, but the best it could do for Fiver of Watership down is call him a Looney Toons rabbit.
• It didn't get Paladin or Erin Brokovitch, but did get Bullit.
• Pallas Athena: How did you get it to guess you were Blackadder? I chose him too, and the computer didn't ask any questions that really seemed to fit (and I've seen every episode). Except for having black hair. I was expecting, "Do you have a sidekick?" or "Are you devious?" or something, but no luck.
• It guessed I was Drew Carey when I was Mel from Alice. This is much lamer than the other one referenced above. Although when I tried the other one, it asked me "Is one of your waitresses named Alice?" and when I answered yes, it then asked a completely unrelated question about "dispensing food as well as magic tricks." Stupid computer.
• Yeah, I answered yes to 'can you chug a bottle of Jack Daniels in one shot?' But it didn't guess Bluto from Animal House.
• It didn't guess that I was Hamtaro from Hamtaro. Instead it thought I was Dory from Finding Nemo. What a piece of fucking shit.
• I stumped it with Special Agent Dale Cooper.
• Special Agent Dale Cooper is who it thought Paladin was.
• It figured out that I was Mallory from Family Ties, and it totally got Oscar the Grouch. I'm so lame.
• balthazar, What? No lyrics to "Back to Back," which was became the theme song in the last season?
• Hmmm. I have a devious and cunning plan. Why don't we enter ourselves as 'such&such from Monkeyfilter'?
• Hmmm. Apparently 3 other people have pretended to be me. How odd.
• Even after asking about a bazillion questions, it mistook Rupert Pupkin for Jerry Seinfeld. Sad...
• So, you were Larry Flynt from People vs Larry Flynt and not The Greatest American Hero from The Greatest American Hero after all eh? Well, why not show me how you can tell them apart?
• lol!
• Actually, Larry Flynt pretty much *is* the greatest American Hero.
• I just added Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck from the A-Team (A.K.A. Dirk Benedict)...
• JouhnRoux, last night it got B.A. Barracus from A-Team, but funnily it asked another seven or eight questions after "Do you pity da fool?" before guessing right.
• it thought i, elvira, mistress of the dark, was wonder woman...eh...close enough.... it got fred sanford in like 3 questions... do you have huge boobs and a penchant for hawking beer on halloween? that was the question i suggested....
• I can't believe it didn't know Deputy Sheriff Barney Fife. Well, it knows him now.
• I guess that you are Mona Robinson from Who's the Boss. Optimus Prime actually, but close enough. Maybe I shouldn't have answered, "yes," to "are you a terrible cook?"
• answering as myself, it came up with will from will and grace.....sigh....
• It got the nameless cowboy from Fistfull of Dollars. It did not get Tetsuo from Tetsuo Iron Man. How I would tell Tetsuo from Harrison Lam in Australia? Hmm... (This is retarded. That it doesn't draw any connections, but rather just keeps asking yes/no questions infinitely is poor design).
