This program is really cool! I've been experimenting with it for the last 45 minutes hour hour and a half or so...
Akinator guessed Chip in 30 questions, but it took 2 tries. The first time, it stopped on "Cool Spot" (LOLWUT?) and I had to tell it to go on. It seems to use the Microsoft version of Chip rather than the Lynx version, as it expected me to say "no" when asked if my character wears glasses, and said Chip does not have black hair. (Both of these answers are right in line with the MS Chip, but contradict Chip's Lynx appearance.)
It's really quite amazing how well it can guess even when your answers aren't quite what it expects. Yet sometimes you can answer "perfectly" and it still makes a premature, wrong guess (such as when it guessed Bowser after only a few questions and then got the correct answer of Koopa Troopa after a few more completely irrelevant questions).
I couldn't believe how extensive Akinator's knowledge is. As I expected it knows Chell, George Washington, and
. It knows Mega Man, sure, but surprisingly it also knows all of the Robot Masters, getting 3 out of 5 right on the first try and getting only 1 wrong 3 times in a row. So far its most impressive correct guess has been CrashMan, on the question "Is your character associated with the color red?" and my answer "I don't know" 
(CrashMan is sort of reddish/orange in color, so I was telling the truth! It expected "yes.") Its worst incorrect guess was Larry the Lobster from Spongebob when I was thinking of Jar Jar Binks.

Interesting! It considers Anakin Skywalker to not be "bad" and Darth Vader to be "bad" even though they're the same person! <span style="font-size:10px;">(begin heated Jedi philosophical debate now)

Definitely fun to experiment with once or twice, or thirty times or so.
