Geoguessr Challenge - Lewis vs Duncan (Part 1) 

12:16 Lewis.exe has stopped working

Im am from Norway, and it was so funny when you guys try to read høyanger!!! Hahaha :)

love this series

If you look closely at American highway number signs, they have the outline of the states they're in. Which makes figuring out American locations super easy

"Captain Frank's" Definitely Egypt.

Thank you Duncan, calling us damn norwegians! xD

This game has been updated so much you should replay it (if you haven't already)! There is a few new features like a challenge mode and all across the world I would love to see you try to do the New York Geoguesser!

I live in rural New England and when that Maine road showed up with it's autumn foliage, little white meeting houses and low stone walls, I had the eeriest feeling of home.

Lol every norwegian is like HØYANGER OMG IT HAS AN Ø IN IT OMG ITS NORWAY TOTALLY

ÆØÅ for the win!

The Battleship Cairo was what the sign was referring to. I live in one of the states not touching but in a state relatively close and when i was younger went on a road trip to there. It was one of the first ironclads, the ships with iron stuck to the side of a boat to make it stronger. The Battleship Cairo is awesome.

You can tell that the first one was Japan because the speed limit sign is on the left & Japan is the only country out of the three they mentioned that drives on the left (Hong Kong drives on the left too). You can tell the the second one is Finland because of the language on the signs. Finnish (like Estonian) has many repeating letters so that's a dead giveaway. You can tell that the third one is the US straight away because of the yellow road lines, wide road, signs & vehicles.

Finland isn't part of scandinavia.

the 4/5 round as soon as i saw river and mountains and the road I knew where it was and i have been there it is beatiful!

nice game, thanks for showing it.

The south US is very green and super sunny. Much sunnier than the north. I'm in GA now for vacation. It's much to hot to go outside. (Loving the AC)

When you guys were in Maine, I knew it, too. I live in Maine. It looked very similar to places I've been.

12:16 "di- bi- di- jre dig jebuh surr" -Lewis Brindly

Well places like rural New England are as green as anywhere except in fall when the foliage gets to be pretty damn mind numbing. And of course the winter, when it's either brown and grey or more likely covered in snow.

i knew it was okinawa as soon as it showed up, i lived there for 3 years and have actually driven past those green houses when headed to vacationing spots

Haha I was so suprised when it was in Maine, I live there xD

Yeah, want more? It's in Melbourne, bordering Swanson st, down the road from Edihad stadium, right near Federation square :D

On the fifth round, Duncan passed a state route sign with the shape of Georgia on it. He didn't notice it, went around the corner to Frank's motel, and I just went V-8 facepalm with a wrecking ball to my face...

Yes it will because you can see the shadow of the car and road arrows to show which way you should drive

Thing that may make a place Norway in Geoguessr: The letters: Æ,Ø and Å on the roadsigns, mountainous fjords, snow, rain and gray sky`s, tunnels, fishing boats in small and snowy fjords, car`s that drive on the right side of the road, the stupid oil-industry, wooden house`s, Prius and Mercedes taxi`s, forest, winding roads and nice nature. Remember that when you play Geoguessr. Remember that Japan drive on the left side of the road, and China and Korea don`t. (The gaming tip of the day:)?

Duncan! American road signs for really long roads have the states as part of the backgrounds. If you would have looked more closely on the fifth one, several of those signs had the state of Georgia on them, which could have clued you in immensely.

At 13:03 There are road signs with the outline of the state of Georgia on them. Although I will admit that if there was a road number with the outline of Wales I probably wouldn't recognize it either.

I figured with the colourful leaves and how people go to the north-east of the US to watch the foliage during autumn, I figured it'd be there. Wish I could click a link and play the exact same locations as the did.

Omg the way you pronnounce finnish! XD

The Mountain Goats song Alpha Omega references boiled peanuts from Cairo, Georgia. Thanks JD!

The entire time I was screaming in my mind the Finnish cities and then when he put it in south Finland, I was overjoyed! :D

haha! Im from finland and it was fun to hear how they tried to pronounce the names! :p

good job duncan!

I would like to make a note for the Yogscast on this game. In the USA we have highway signs with the state that it is in on the sign. This should be a big help if you come across one of these signs, they are normally black and white, like in this video... :)

I don't expect them to know the shapes of all the different States in America, but one of the highway signs they looked at did have the shape of the state of Georgia on it. Just a note if anyone else is playing this game, many American states have the state's shape on their smaller highway signs.

I'm Norwegian and I think our silly "o"s (which I can't type in America) are just wonderful

I fucking love games like this

I loved how they said Lappeenranta. Hilarious.

it was so funny to listen when you tried to pronounce the finnish names lewis ur a natural :D

My highest score is 15079 ! But the bus with "Palermo Sightseeing" written on the front, and the fact that I immediately recognized Lenin's Mausoleum helped me quite a bit xP

As a kid: "We're going through a tunnel!" Now: "We're going through a tunnel using Google Maps!"

Why did you guys have to introduce me to this site. As if I needed another brain puzzle addiction XD

when they where in Georgia i could tell right off the bat because at 13:00 there is a state route sign with an out line of Georgia.

Actually, it won't, because the camera sometimes records what's going behind the car, and sometimes records what's in front, so it's easy to mix it up.

Thanks for telling the world where you live

For the last one you can tell it was Georgia because there was a road sign with an outline of Georgia on it

And that Canadians invented the telephone, time zones, basketball, electric wheelchairs, gas masks, and snow blowers. Generally trivial things, but pivotal nonetheless, Mr. Cunningham. Also Sips is badass so that also helps prove my point, friend.

3:43 ... ... RIGHT AFTER I SAW THAT TEXT I KNEW IT WAS FINLAND. (i'm finnish) and btw: you guys spell our text really REALLY funny.

No, he makes sense. Cars drive on different sides of the road in some countries. When there are other cars/shadows, you can tell which way the google car is moving.

US state roads typically have the shape of the state on the sign, those had georgia if you looked

Though that the one in Maine was Michigan I saw signature Michigan potholes

when nilesy play this on his livestream it was so funny

My girlfriend managed to beat me during her very last turn. She found a road sign on the highway and figured out that we were on a highway in Australia. She spent some time looking at the map and figured out where the road sign was exactly, and she ended up being literally 10mm off. She earned around 7000 or so points for that one, and jumped up from 4000 total points to 11,000 in that single turn.

Highway signs in America have the number of the Highway inside the shape of the State you're in. Examples are shown on the signs they passed in Georgia.

**Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. And Finland being apart of it depends on the individuals opinion.

I could tell the last one was Georgia because the route sign at the intersection looked like the state of Georgia which is commonly used here in America

The exact second Duncan got dumped in Norway I was like "Norway."

The google car drove by my school during math and my teacher let us go on google earth for the rest of class.

Recognized Norway the second I saw those mountains. That scenery was typically Norwegian, I think I turned into a death-metal-loving viking for a second.

That moment when you've really been to Jim's Market.

It's sounds so funny when you guys try finnish the way you pronounce them LMAO.

that looks like a street i drive around quite frequently. the american town. it isnt. but its freaky how close that is to me, and how much it looks like places near me

I figured out it was Finland and I'm a dane :) The vegetation was Scandinavian, however it seemed to empty for it to be Denmark, and Norway and Sweden doesn't have those kinds of town names :3

You guys almost pinned my town down in Maine o.o

Trucking Tuesday scared me x.x

YES!

Lol, dat face Duncan uses at the beginning.

i love how it seems they always see norwegian, finnish, and swedish as the most alien language of them all ^^

There were interstate road signs in the last one with the picture of Georgia on them.

I noticed a positive shift in that category, but i had not enough characters to write it down. But about general knowledge of languages, i feel like most Americans couldn't instinctively tell if a text was chinese, korean or japanese. Or dutch, german or swedish. its just a feel for foreign language that most americans lack since they grow up in an environment where you are not in touch with foreign languages, while in Europe it is completely different.

Norway looks epic!

Every time I watch this series, I always wonder if someone watching just randomly sees their house in the background

You are so great at spelling those Finnish names.

Well, as a foreign language German is pretty hard to learn, grammar wise especially. If u are interested u surely can check it out, but prepare for some work :D. What especially confuses most foreigners are the articles, because your "the" equals to 3 different articles in German, "der", "die" and "das". How old are you exactly and what school do you plan to visit? I am currently in the 11th class of the Gymnasium, which could be compared to the college.

Omg I just started it and the first road I got is actually one I've driven on o.o Awesome

Duncan: There is no green in the south Duncan has never been to the south has he?

13:02 they missed a big hint that it was in Georgia if you look to the right you can see that it has the shape of Georgia on the road signs

Haha, the country music in the beginning.

Lewis: You are in a mountainous area... Me: Go North!!!

Same, also Finland and Georgia. Georgia because the road sign was in the shape of Georgia.

10:20 Reminded me of the game Riven!

Good one :)

Non-finnish people trying to pronounce finnish always makes my day :D

Høyanger is "close" to where I live, and I was like "NORWAY, YOU FOOL, NORWAY! IT'S A FRICKIN Ø, EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVE Æ, Ø AND Å!"

OMG THAT NEXT EPISODE IS FLINDERS STREET STATION! I LIVE ON ELIZABETH STREET VICTORIA AND THAT IS DOWN THE ROAD! I USE THAT TO GO TO WORK EVERYDAY!!!

I am German, so i can't say much about other countries education systems in Europe, but its true, we learn mostly European and American history. However, even though not detailed, we did talk a lot about asian and african history. Also, it's not only history and culture. It is also language. I speak 2 foreign languages, thats the minimum for the higher education path. you can learn more if u do not take the scientific set of classes. In America a lot of people speak only English.

Lappeenranta, Imatra. love the way you guys pronounce them, I live in Imatra myself :D

Duncan, you fool! There are no such things as North Dakotan forests!

Haha i mostly follow your minecraft videos and now for some mysterious reason i wanted to see this .. now i know why :P When i saw the snow i was like "that must be finland!" and then the truck and omg it really is! Im from finland haha..

Lewis: It needs to be somewhere in America. Somewhere farmy. Me: So, all of it?

I have actually been down that exact waterway in Norway and recognize that road. What are the odds.

Omg the next episode thats flinders street station in Melbourne :D

1302 : map of Georgia on 2 street signs ...just had to find the state shaped like that ...not that 2 guys from england would know we do that over here - but yea state highway signs are in the shape of the state like that.

yea, it is a great place for the nightlife, but I always had problems going down there because of sketchy people down there

Laughed my ass off when they were trying to pronounce the names of those finnish places xD

Holly crap when they where on the America one I fessed main when they where saying the Rocky Mountains

I KNEW IT WAS GEORGIA!! I VISITED THERE!!

Almost always there will be someone watching that is just screaming where it is while they are way off...

"How was I to know that"... I'll tell you how, stop listening to Lewis hahaha. You MUST travel (double click) and remember where you've been. You need Google. Find a sign, business, bridge dedicated to someone, intersection with street signs.. ergo LANDMARK. Then you back track to where you are. Compare satellite image, compare map image. Click.. FAST! GO! haha.. this is too addictive.

I love how Duncan is only 100 away from Simon's score in only 2 rounds.
