*Great/daft/fun game websites: list 'em here!

I like Bloons Tower Defence:cool: Basically you are appointing monkeys to pop balloons that are travelling through a winding tunnel, using spikes, darts, bombs and suchlike. Pop 50 rounds of increasingly complex balloons, and you win!

Bloons TD 1- Pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Bloons TD 2- Surprisingly hard.

Bloons TD 3- My favourite. Especially the one that's like a big spiral- level 7 iirc.

Bloons TD 4- A bit too much going on, but still fun.

Did you get this reply?

This is amazing!

We found three ley lines that converge at that location, including one from Stonehenge. Hover over the markers for information on each ancient site.

You seem to live at a swirl of ancient energy highways; this may mean that your area is a hotspot for paranormal activity, or even for unidentified flying objects!

So did I! For my address, my folk's address, my in-laws address, my sister's address, my sister-in-law's address, the kennels where we got the dogs, and 5 random postcodes.

:facepalm:

That's the point :) click on the 'read this' link and you get:

So here's the truth: ley lines don't exist.
Sorry to disappoint you. The truth is, no matter where in England you are, this site will happily find you three ley lines — including one that goes through Stonehenge!

How?
Simple: there are over 9,000 scheduled monuments in England. We're running with a smaller database - about 3,000 of the most impressive ones - but that's more than enough to guarantee that hundreds of "ley lines" will pass right through your house.

The site picks a few directions, draws a line, and finds the closest sites of interest. By discarding the misses and showing you only the hits, something that's incredibly common can be made to look spectacular.

That's how ley lines, and maps of alien landing sites (and Woolworths stores!) work — they take advantage of the fact that the human brain is really bad at statistics.

So I'm not on a path of mystical power?
Sorry. But you are made of starstuff, and that's so much cooler.
 
Seems to make a lot of guesses but the database is certainly impressive - it got Slartibartfast, Tali from Mass Effect and Michael Foot pretty easily.

edit: but failed with Ed Alleyne-Johnson (who is now in the database...).
 
I just tried showing it's abilities to my gf, it completely lost its wow factor when i guessed before it after a few moves. Elvis, Tim Henman and Tim Minchin (she has just been watching his dvd but was amazed at how i guessed him from her answers :)
 
Akinator has been giving me rage.

I told it that my character was a real person who died at least 100 years ago, and it asked if he starred in a music video. When I said no, it asked if he was in a korean boy band!

Is your character an animal?
No
Is your character a dog?
