We're back with this and it's instantly juicy as fuck. Sit back and enjoy the best bits of an eventful and slightly chaotic 45 minute session of the hardest format on Geoguessr. Subscribe and get me over that million: / @geowizard
I feel like when new players first start to get the hang of the game, beyond places they already know well, it's often this way. They may click on the wrong side of the planet, but it starts regularly being the right latitude. It's a reminder of how much influence distance from equator etc makes what a landscape looks like.
*lands in an empty field with one building* "Turkey" - Off by 60 miles me playing *lands in a populated area, with signs and plenty of hints* "Thats canada" - Off by an entire planet this amazes me
@@OkachaWasTaken because letters ĞİŞ are special to Turkish. Geoguessr players mostly guess Turkey from this clue. Also konya isnt a well known city from Turkey. First option is much probable
How the hell do you see an absolutely generic road with absolutely generic trees in the middle of nowhere and guess SLOVAKIA by 60 miles???? I can't... My brain does not process this concept.
I only watched 3-4 videos of this guy, but watching this video I realized he just plays alot of geoguesser or whatever this game is called. I'm saying this because all of his guesses that are from slavic countries where easy for me because I'm from Croatia. It's still impressive he guessed slovakia by 60 miles but man this kind of roads I saw every day. SO probably by playing hours upon hours he knows how each country looks more or less.
@@JL-dp1wj Cause he doesn't play with meta. Wich in my opinion makes him even more impressive. He basically just play with the feels he gets from the architecture and nature rather than poles and bollards and stuff like that.
It would be so cool to have Tom use an eye tracker to overlay on the video when he uploads it. Just so we can everything he glanced at in those 10 seconds leading up to a click
@@alexcpfc1843 The more expensive ones use an infra-red beam to read the reflections in your eye, but even the cheaper ones can use your webcam to measure the rotation of your eye and mathematically figure out where on the screen you are looking. The technology has been used in the military for a long time, but is also used in marketing (to see what ads people are looking at), to behavioral studies, disability accessibility, and even some video games.
17:33 I am french from that region (Alsace in french), we have a tight history with Germany being switched a few times from one country to the other throughout history. It is very common here to have german sounding last names and city names like you did notice. We also speak a dialect (alsacien in french, "elsasich" in that dialect) that is very close to the german language, unfortunately that dialect is slowly dying, except in small villages like where I am from and the older generation there is close to no people that still speak it today.
@@CK-ms1bu The area that the picture was from is Alsace, which has changed hands between french and german control a ton over the past thousand years, most recently it was taken by france after ww1. It's got a fairly large german/german speaking population, thus the very german names, and Tom was humorously implying that the french should give it back to germany as a result.
@@verdiss7487 A fairly large speaking german population, but most of them are French and talk german as a second language. Alsace is and will remain French. Maybe it was not in the past, but French people paid too much blood for this, it should not be even up to debate anymore. I know that was a joke and I found it funny, but you know some people clearly believe this bullshit
You gotta take a second to acknowledge how impressive this actually is. I know he's good at GeoGuessr bc I've watched his vids for so long but the fact that he can look at a single picture *for
As a German I had to laugh so hard when you said 'maybe you should give that back' 😂😂 yeah France and Germany giving back land to each other without a war, not gonna happen.
@@Hidegety1 You'd probably had guessed Slovakia. GeoWizard just got lucky with that plonk, and it could happen to you too because Slovakia isn't a big country.
"Friendly Reminder: Something something Kim" Hmm yes, thanks for reminding the community that I am omnipresent. Though upon further inspection, the sign just talks about "2015 Deposits Due" And the Dakar location was by a huge monument we built. So that's a direct mention and an indirect one by Tom. Cheers, mate!
I mean.. Mathematically most games would be like that. He would restart if round 1 isn't nearly perfect. So the only games that make it past round 1 and two would have to be good, but getting 3 in a row is unlikely so he'll fail a lot of round 3-4
Me on the first round: "that's Thailand" Tom: "let's go northern Thailand" Me: damn, for once my guess was good "0 points" thank you Tom for destroying my hopes and dreams :(
17:55 "maybe you should give that back" LOL :D The Sign read "Golf Kempferhof" which does sound very German. The road furniture is quite distinctively un-German. German signs for speedbumps are red, not blue. Germany does not put the triangles on the speedbumps. The Font on the Sign is not used on signs in Germany but the sign is quite french looking.... So it was from the greater German Area, while not being in Germany. -> Alsace-Lorain is a good guess :)
@@user-bc5mv2ot8k it's been both for roughly equal amounts of time, neithher has more claim on it but I guess since France got fukd by Germany in WW2 I guess it's fair compensation (btw Alsace is beautiful lived there a long period of my life)
“Get in!” count: 2 @10:40 A freakin double whammy Get In! Oh man feels like he was speaking directly to me in that moment. I kind of got emotional…. @12:25 I swear Tom was almost there for a get in
This perfectly demonstrates how your brain simply needs a break from the stuff you are trying to learn. It just needs some time to soak it all in to excel.
it’s totally up to the game. You have undeniably amazing skills to break the record it’s just a matter of whether the game gives you the good rounds all in a row. Good luck man
literally had to pause the video from laughing so hard at your fucking faces at 16:20 because I didn't want to miss anything amd have to rewind. For some reason, that shit is so much funnier when its somebody who isn't always trying to be funny. Fuckin love you dude hahaha
I just audibly screamed "WHAT" realizing ive been your fan for well over a year and just subscribed. The algorithm is so good I just had all your content shown to me
its certainly good at what it was designed to do, that being keep people watching for the largest amount of time. whether or not its good at what it SHOULD do is subjective
Watch him do that but then as an April fools joke at the end say that he’s reached the boarder of China and Russia travelling from the sea around Vladivostok area
@@steyyJ I don't think it's cheating, it's just that there is a selection bias because there will be hundreds of hours of incorrect guesses that don't make it to the final cut.
9 months ago, I was watching a lot of your videos and thinking "Wow, how the hell does he do that?!" But it looked like a fun game, so I started playing using a lot of your tips. Today, I'm watching this video with 2000 games under my belt and I'm like "No, Tom, this isn't South-East Asia, it looks more like Ecuador..... Yeah, see, I told you!" :) I'm so proud of the progress I made and I owe you a lot for that, so THANK YOU SO MUCH!! PS: Just to be clear, you're still way, way, waaaaay better than me! But I'm getting there: I just did 22k in Rural World NMPZ 10s the other day ;)
How can you be good at this? Everything looks mundanely the same everywhere in this mode! Actually kinda poetic and unifying how relatable random places can be
nah, wouldn't work because he has to be alive to edit the video later. All we'd get is an article in a local newspaper like "Florida man strangled a naked British guy who was swimming through his personal alligator pond because he was trying to cross Florida in a straight line"
Even having never played GeoGuessr, as a speedrunner myself, I can assure you that at the top level of play, it's all about the reset efficiency. If you have any doubt in your mind about a run, end it. At the top, it's mostly luck. It's clear you're conflicted between playing out games for content, or really going for the top. This is understandable considering your sizable following, but one thing is clear: you love a challenge. If you want a perfect score on the hardest format, you're gonna need to just grind the hell out of it. No matter your standing on the leaderboards, I love your content, man. Keep it up.
someone should make a "guess the latitude" version of geoguessr its always interesting to me when tom gets the latitude bang on even if its not worth a lot points
GeoGuessr completely sank in your subconscious. You just look at a picture and you know where you are with a remarkable level of accuracy. Simply amazing what a human brain can do.
This is quite impressive! My only request would be if you could elaborate a bit more as to what subtle clues you are using to narrow down your guesses so accurately. Crazy skill!
Unpopular opinion but these 10 second ones are my favorite. I feel like the skill to figure it out based on so few clues or just the landscape is even more amazing to watch than the normal knowledge from another mode
Dude, I love your content and it's super exciting to watch you guess these locations so accurately. Could you PLEASE let us know what you are thinking when you make your guesses? Like when you only go "That's in Turkey", just give us a note on what made you think that specific country and region. That's what I would love to hear more of!
Dude 1.1 miles away in Bradford?? That was amazing. Also I was impressed how you zoomed in on eastern Washington, USA early in the game. Eastern WA and ID look very much alike and you got very close!
