This is sort of a stupid reason to post, but-

I was just on the website en.akinator.com , in which you think of a character, and like that 20 questions game (which I own and totally works, if you're thinking of something PG), it guesses who you're thinking of. It can be a real person or a fictional one. I decided I was going to stump this mofo, so I decided to think of the Witch King of Angmar, from The Lord of the Rings.

And it guessed correctly.

Shut. Up. Fucking amazing, yo.

And then I realized, the Witch King is badass and recieved excellent sound editng and mixing in the film for Return of the King. Not to mention armor design. So, I decided to choose someone less badass. Namely Butterbur, the innkeeper at the Prancing Pony.

It guessed "Baron Vladimir Harkonnen" which is confusing on several levels because 1] I don't know who it is and 2] he has a Russian first name and Finnish last name. What?

At any rate it's a win. Or is it? I beat a computer. But...that also means I know a lot of details about a particular fandom. Of course it turns out because it lost, I had to type in who I was thinking of, and it searched its database...and I am not the first person to guess him.

So in the end, I have not tread a path that no geek has tread before. Perhaps there is hope for me yet!

In other news, internet games are addicting. This isn't as addicting as, say, Bookworm or Chuzzles or Peggle...but still. Noooiiice.
