Fandom Spotlight: PoupeeGirl

An example of a PoupeeGirl userpage, which shows a player's posted items, friends, dress-up history, and so on.

PoupeeGirl (“poupee” is a French word that means “doll”, and was used to refer to French fashion dolls) is a Japanese website that features a more complicated take on regular old dress-up doll games. Members make an account and create their own avatar (or “Poupee”, as they are referred to at the website), and are given basic dress-up items.

Akinator, the Web Genius

Think you can stump Akinator the all-knowing genie?

I know I just posted something below, but I just had to share this link: http://en.akinator.com/.

The idea is to think of a character (real or fictional), and Akinator will ask you questions and guess who it is based on the answers you select. So far I’ve tried around ten characters, and Akinator got six correct…but the thing was the wrong answers were characters from the same sources as the characters I was thinking of (i.e. it answered Cersei Lannister when I was thinking of Daenerys Targaryen from ASOIAF, and Clare when I was thinking of Irene from Claymore).

While not 100% accurate, this site has me temporarily amused; I’m sure I’ll get sick of it after…oh, say, 100 characters? I’m a fangirl, I know/like/fawn over a lot of characters from various sources. LOL.
