Hi Tom, burning question. How often do you do your check of "are we recording" to only find that you weren't? We only ever get to see the times when you were recording haha
Speaking as another player who records games from GeoGuessr, I'd say it does happen quite regularly - it seems to be hard to find screen-recording software that isn't a bit flaky.
@@salovamrani2084 For the most part it's just one of his things that people expect in his videos at this point and it did feel like the first and second ones were pretty close without a noticeable timegap so it might have been a bit silly to check there, but the final one was 26 attempts later so he easily could have stopped it accidentally or had it stop along the way (I've had both those happen with OBS). I have to imagine that with some videos where he plays for hours, there are times when it has stopped recording or perhaps where he starts and stops recording a lot and forgets to restart on occasion. We're never going to see the times when he might have checked and found it not recording but I assume it has happened.
Just screaming WEEly castle the whole time! This was really fun to watch as a south Birmingham gal and family from Solihull/Marston Green. Great video, Tom!
@@scadwea9109 North Birmingham is like a shit culture deficient South Birmingham. Has the big houses and the wealth but no university, no lord of the rings, full of oaps. Then you have Erdington, Perry commen and kingstanding. I feel sorry for you if you live there.
People crap on Birmingham, but I think it has some pretty funky looking modern architecture. Mind you I've only seen pics, never visited, but it looks cooler than you give it credit for.
I love your videos, I’m a producer/sound engineer and I couldn’t help but notice the slight echo from your voice going off the walls in your new room. I think putting a sound diffuser or book shelf behind you would help dramatically! All love and your a genius.!
Really loves this one mate, currently living near Woodgate Valley so I got the lake one really easily but a few others easily too such as the King's Norton and Meadway ones as have lived in both of those places too. Hope to see more of Birmingham again soon.
4:09 instantly knew where this was. On the number 11 bus route that I took to school for 7 years. Haven't been there for 16 years but the flashback hit me like a slap in the face. Wow.
I clicked on this video going like "ok, this is interesting" and for once in my life I actually knew where a place was for once. Keep up the awesome content man :)
Tried playing a few different maps of my home town and they're 85% other towns and cities, 10% backroads and the rich parts of town I've never been to, and 5% my actual home town lol
@@vickiekostecki The challenge is different from city to city - have you seen CG's Chicago speedruns in under 2 mins? - but that's part of what makes this game interesting.
Yes but I’m sure he was only joking, I was going to say something as well but then it seemed to me he was doing it for a laugh, I Love Weoley Castle mainly because of the Remains of a moated house there that is hundreds of years old, it’s a shame it’s a ruin. I love History and Birmingham has a amazing medieval history.
That was great Tom! Been watching for years and grew up in Acocks Green, now live Moseley / Kings Heath, South Brum all the way :-) You still did better than I ever would have but if I had that last round it would have been close! Spent a year up your way living in Aldridge a while back. That Lazy Hill pub was a classic :-D
loved that you kept saying 'this isn't a very nice part of town', but never said 'it's really lovely in this area'... maybe you did just once lol. my family is all from Sutton Coldfield. I think it's nice out there :)
Moved to Birmingham just under 2 months ago, can't say it was a pretty sight. Love spending time up by Sutton Coldfield and Mere Green, the rest less so... Having spent 4 years in Wales there's definitely some system shock!
My childhood home is literally around the corner from that Day Nursery at 18:00, and I bought my first car from Ian Farrel Motors on the round after hahahaha. We're definitely from opposite ends of Brum.
Fantastic video! From a fellow Brummie who lives in Rubery. Hearing names of places I've known my whole life, but you're still able to pinpoint them within seconds, when I would have never had a chance, is mad! Only ones I knew at first glance were Selly Oak and Weoly(Wee-oh-lee) Castle! I know this is a niche one for us guys, but my favourite video from you so far! (Discovered you from journey across Wales and recognised your accent straight away!)
Tom. I love you. From one Brummie to my favourite Yam Yam, I have just one thing to say...... IT'S PRONOUNCED "WHEELY" CASTLE!!!! Huff huff huff UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
The last location was tricky, Hollywood is in Brum, Wythall is an enclave of Bromsgrove, so you're literally on the very edge of Birmingham. I recognised the King's Norton location, I've frequently driven past Grange Hill Road, with that theme tune playing in my head like a reflex action. Can't remember where I was going or why, but I've had a couple of delivery jobs (white van man) in my time. Weoley Castle is pronounced 'wheely'. A mate was from that area, and I visited the area a couple of times.
it's at times like this that I'm glad my hometown is Portland OR, USA because our whole city is a grid so if you can get to any street corner, you're smooth sailing
I used to own a shotgun made in Birmingham in the late 1800. I looked at the Birmingham map for hours to find different gunmakers old locations. William Ford on Weaman Row, St Mary's, Joseph Bourne and W. C. and Scott on Bath Street, and then on Lancaster Street, etc. And the lock makers in Wolverhampton. The noise, smoke and smell...
I did one of these types of videos in the place where I live, not that far from Birmingham: Telford. It's pretty cool because I've seen places I otherwise wouldn't have playing that map
Well Tom, I tried it, didn't do so well time wise but got 25000 with a total of 33m and 29m35s Not bad for my first real effort on geoguessr that included enthusiasm of knowing an area somewhat. Wolverhampton lad like. Spent some time working over those ways. Thanks for sharing. Was fun.
I live in Erdington, in the north-east of the city. Almost every one of those, I though, "that must be near me" and then quickly realised it wasn't when you found signs. Not the most diverse collection of architecture, every residential road looks exactly the same...
SPOILER!!!! . . . your second attempt was 7 seconds slower than your first, 6min 32 vs 6min 39!!!! good work! THEN A 3MIN 46!! wooooowow!! Great stuff! loving it!
As sombody who has spent the majority of his life in Devon, and a large portion of his childhood in Kings Heath, I knew a few more of those areas than I would have expected, perhaps all those days wandering along the canals have helped with that.

3 "are we recordings" in 1 video, nice one Tom

I’ve watched a fair few of your videos, mate, and you’re always recording so I wouldn’t worry so much.

Thank you for blessing my feed today Tom
Absolutely love you're videos Tom. Watched everyone and will never stop!!
4:46 lets goooo that's the road i take to work and back! it is a hellish road at peak hours. Then again of all birmingham roads are what am I saying.
This was great! As a long time fan and native of Birmingham, almost like this video was made for me! Would love to see another one of these.
I like the Birmingham version and all UK VERSIONS. British landscapes help me relax before sleep for some reason
Nice one! Best city in da world. Love Birmingham.
Thats what I wondered ever since I've found your channel,finally!

Amazing work mate!
Love the 2021 street view, can tell the camera has levelled up.

Lived in Birmingham for a year (I am from Melbourne, Australia). Brought back lots of memories, especially around Selly Oak and Wesley Castle.
I originally grew up near Dudley but spent part of my early 20's living in Cape Hill and working in Edgebaston, really enjoyed this video Tom

My home town barely has 15 streets in total. Should make a fun map... :P
Tell me your town and I'll make an accurate map for you.
I did my hometown once, but it's mostly all on a grid system so once I hit a main road it was practically impossible to screw up.

Intrigued when past Tom makes facial expressions perfectly matching what future Tom is saying.
Yes yes big up the west midlands. Love from Wolverhampton
idk why but it's kind of enjoyable watching him actually try without trying to be entertaining for us
"I know this, its Hockley, lunatics of drivers" as a fellow brummie that ventured this area daily I can agree
Each time Tom say: "are we recording?", i'm thinking: "oh god i hope he is recording". Yes, i'm not very smart.
I love Tom's "are we recording? Yes we are, you knew it."
No, Tom, I am absolutely taken aback that you were recording 🤣
Insane vid Tom... more of this please!
i love the irony in “hollywood” and “california” being places in birmingham HAHA
Makes you wonder how many of those there are... there's another California on the Baltic Sea, near Kiel.
There's eight more places called California in the UK. That might make a good Geoguessr map, places in California's all over the world.
On the other side of that coin, there is a Cardiff in California.
There's a California in Ipswich too!
Why is that ironic? Where do you think the Yanks stole the name from?
Please do more cities and towns. Even ones you dont know. see how fast you can get a perfect score! Great video ideas!

The crazy thing is unlike Manchester and London it doesn’t even include it’s greater areas so it would be even bigger
Random question for UK people, do you have any problems with mold in your homes? It seems like there is so much moisture and rain over there
Yes and no. Because it's so wet, builders are supposed to damp-proof houses.
