@@DGen7 Vikk was pretty good years ago. He has a super old series on his channel when he played it with all the other sidemen back in like 2013 or 14. It's just Josh and Harry would play Geoguessr constantly on stream during lock down so got better and were able to make guesses quick.
Vikk fell off big time. But maybe he was just lot more good as the other guys he play with back then. Meanwhile Harry and Josh actually improved and learned how to play the game.
This isn’t super fast for me, I guess everyone hears differently, but I am feeling pretty good knowing I’m not the only one who speeds up slow talking RUclipsrs.
Football knowledge definitely helps Europeans with geoguessr, Josh got the Norway guess because he knows the football player Martin Ødegaard is Norwegian and he saw that ø accent on a sign. Little things like that definitely help.
Jerma is easily the greatest streamer on the internet. No bias at all, it’s pretty universally accepted among the community and streamers that Jerma is on a whole nother league. His wit and comedic timing needs to legitimately be studied.
1:57 yes that's a distinctly Swedish mailbox. It's a remanence from when Sweden had their own postal service and didn't share one with Denmark. It's drop off/collection boxes rather than the personal mailboxes.
Listening to Rainbolt explain every minute detail about where each location is and why is exactly how I imagine I sound to a new player in Phasmophobia when I'm explaining what ghost it is based on its behavior
I don’t like reaction content but you have added so much additional information it’s definitely transformative. It’s so obvious how much you were enjoying the videos and guessing with them pretty cool to see
"where is iceland"->left of norway->looks at norway and "i dont know where tokyo is" are probably the funniest quotes i ever heard by someone playing geoguessr
I'm astonished how much Rainbolt knows about different countries, and the way how things are organized, in example, pedestrian signs, etc. That just feels like WOWWOWOW.
8:16 the sign “tlayacapan” is in a very popular mexican font and typography , that is commonly used for tourist cities all throughout mexico , ive been multiple times and have confirmed all throughout mexico its used , the colors the font the sizing and placement of them
In the Mexico one with Pew... The colorful sign IS for sure an instant indication of it Being Mexico, more so in the last 8ish years. Every Major City, Touristic Destination Location, Beach Town , etc. had these placed via the Federal Gov., to enhance tourism (good for photos). Add it to the mental roledex.
As an American that played fifa for years in high school and college, I can confirm you learn every flag just from playing. Truly is an OP strat for flags
This just reminded me that the Irish lads played a bunch of all Ireland rounds of geoguessr and it was either "every round looks exactly the same" or "I used to live on this road" and like nothing inbetween lmao
this is so weird cause i saw the first "reacts to youtubers playing geoguessr" video yesterday and thought "dang that was a good vid" and now theres another 1 😭
Tips for next video of this sort: I wanna guess myself, so maybe don't immediately say "oh it's Brazil/Sweden" or whatever. Just say "Oh I know this". We'll believe you and be able to engage more with the material ourselves.
bit of a linguistics meta on Tlayacapan: the letters Tl in sequence combined with Spanish language are absolutely SCREAMING former Atzec Empire, which places you basically no further north than Mexico City and very very unlikely to be outside of Mexico either.
I don't know about the rest of Europe but here in Belgium, our geography classes are split up per region and year in high school. So one year you'll get geography classes about Europe. The next year you'll get Africa. And so on. And with each year/region, we'll also skim past all of the flags of that particular region, even though the flags are not exam questions.
The 2006 FIFA World Cup game was literally what got me interested in geography as a kid. The 3D globe in that game taught me so many flags and countries I'd never heard of
I dont think people will understand how many times i replayed that part of him singing electric avenue and me trying to figure out what song it was. I wasn't recognizing what the band was saying, and theres a band called pacific avenue. The song he sings 00:58 seconds is electric avenue by eddy grant. No one asked, no one cares. but i found it
my favorite geoguessr memory was when i saw a neighborhood with tall trees and a boat, said north caroline and clicked next to a lake and got like 4900 points lol
Shape of poles meta: we have both round ones, square ones, octagonal ones... really, how it even can be details that significantly clarifies stuff? It is really more noise than anything useful
@@MotoGPForever4527 I’ve got round wood poles on the west coast. I get that I’m just ignorant but it still doesn’t make much sense. Is it the width? The height? How do you differentiate wood poles from each other?
The Game Grumps have done a few rounds of Geoguesser and while they occasionally play it up for laughs they often really try hard to varying degrees of success. Definitely recommend checking out their playthroughs
I mentioned this before but I would love to see you react to Sykkuno’s Geoguessr gameplay! -he has done a bunch of geoguessr streams and a few RUclips videos too, also has a wildcard guessing style
Wilbur Soot used to play a lot of geoguessr back in the day, you could check him out. JSchlatt also plays geoguessr along with the rest of sleep deprived podcast.
The mail box thins is extra funny because I swear Swedish mailboxes are super unique looking compared to its neighbours. Finland has bright orange ones that are the same thickness all the way from the ground (sometimes paired with deep blue ones for 2nd class mail) and if i remember right, Norway has bright red ones that are either the same shape as the Finnish ones or absolutely tiny and wall mounted. :D
It's funny that Japan uses arrows to mark sides of the streets for snow. Here in Norway we're cheap af, and just use bamboo sticks with a reflecting thing at the top lol
1:32 - I used to live in that Swedish town when I was in university. Never been to that particular part though. I had never thought of identifying location through bus stop signs. Anyone getting Blekinge in the future, the was majority of people live on the southern coast. Also looks like his guess wasn't even in Blekinge, but in Kalmar län (county).
There is a bit of a mailbox meta in the nordics. He is correct that the mailbox was swedish, the finnish ones have a different shape and colors. It's not a mailbox where someone picks up mail, but send off mail. The postman comes and picks them up at the set time written on the mailbox.
@15:40 yes but also we get taught geography in school from a very young age and because Europe is relatively small we do go on holidays in other countries a lot too where you get to see all the different flags as well...
I just played for the first time a few hours ago with my friends because of this channel. At one point we were joking that it'd be funny if they snuck in pictures of Mars and randomly shuffled them in just to throw people off. A few rounds in, we got some desolate looking place with snow and red dirt everywhere and we were like "NO WAY IS THIS ACTUALLY MARS!?" We had no idea where we were and it turns out it was ANTARCTICA lol
1:54 He probably just recognized the distinctive shape of the mailbox, not knowing that they are found throughout Scandinavia and Finland. However, there are yellow ones which, of course, are a dead giveaway for Sweden.
Huh? I'm from Sweden and I got curious about what you said. I went on Street View and looked at mailboxes in Norway, Denmark and Finland and they look nothing like the Swedish ones, or like each other. Each country has a completely different shape, at least the ones I found.
@@Gameboygenius That's interesting, I'm Swedish as well and I looked up where Postnord operates and just assumed that they use the same type of mailbox in the four countries mentioned. Did you see Postnord ones of different shapes than the ones in Sweden? If so, my bad.
My all timer for Jerma is him playing duels: he sees an Austrian flag, yells "OH MY GOD IT'S SWITZERLAND", plonks in Czechia, and it's Singapore. His bewildered "what" and look of embarrassment is truly magnificent.

Harry used to stream Geoguessr a lot like 2 years ago, he was actually decent, especially compared to other players that time
It’s actually insane how when a new picture of a place pops up he knows the country within a second. Not even second guessing. I cannot fathom that.
I've never watched Jerma before, but he seems really good at turning mediocre gameplay of geoguessr into something entertaining, I enjoyed it!
You just explained every Jerma stream ever. Mediocre game but turned into S tier entertainment. The man is a comedy savant.
He played a sega dreamcast game called seaman for 12 hours and its entertaining throughout the entire thing

"where is iceland"->left of norway->looks at norway and "i dont know where tokyo is" are probably the funniest quotes i ever heard by someone playing geoguessr
id kill for a pewdiepie geoguessr clip where he gets spawned in about the same spot on something very similar to the infamous bridge
Not the bridge
I'm astonished how much Rainbolt knows about different countries, and the way how things are organized, in example, pedestrian signs, etc. That just feels like WOWWOWOW.
Harry & Josh are really good with maps & places but when it comes to GeoGuessr, Harry is elite
Harry’s gotten much better on Geoguesser recently and he beat Josh in that specific video but I’d still say that Josh is the overall better player.
That moment with Jerma during the duels sounds hilarious! His confusion and embarrassment must have been priceless.
these are so good, really shows whats going through your mind when you make a guess
You should watch Ludwig play and just roast the shit out of him the whole time for the laughs lol

Also, Tlayacapan is Nahuatl, the language that the Aztecs spoke, which is where Mexico is settled over.
I've seen those in Colombia too and I think Perú
words cant express the smile that crept up on my face when he said jerma. ive never been this happy.
KYRSP33DY has a decent amount of Geoguessr content, despite the weak knees his geography knowledge is definitely above average!
Omg it is
Rainbolt: wakes up in a flat, grassy field in the middle of nowhere with memories of how he got there.
Also Rainbolt: Why are we in Missouri?
