Well he got David Foster Wallace (writer) and Travis Touchdown, so I'm happy.

i tried it and it is working.but i achieved to beat it with the name of my favorite writer:nikos kazantzakis.

beat it again. third try. it was pretty lucky with the first one though, the description matched a number of other people in the same book even. he had some trouble with the second one but managed to get it eventually.
and he failed to get my third choice.

He got ioi...

I beat it again too, with Claudia Gerini, that wasn't in its database, and with Vittorio Gassman.

Edit @Blacksaber:

OMG, that's scary!!!

I stumped it with KD lang.

Can't seem to get Sed Balmore.

Wat?

Started of easy, Samus was an easy hit.
He didn't guess Jack from MAdworld though.

He also has a lot of problems with writers. Took him 40 questions to get to Roald Dahl and Didn't guess Evan Wright (Generation Kill.)

I'm more impressed with (European) comics. Asterix and Obelix were easy picks but I was surprised when he got Thorgal Aegirsson. It's a comic about an Atlantian being abandoned on the sea when Atlantians shipwreck on earth 9th century or something and the boy grows up as a Viking. When it asked me if the character fought with guns I answered partially (a laser-pistol is used in some albums.) He still got it right.

Professor Mortimer was a miss though.

ioi? He is in the database but Akinator didn't got to him...

Fuck it, couldn't even get Raptor Jesus.
