The fact that he survived for so long in the first round without knowing any of the meta or that he could move is definitely a testament to his worldliness.
3:22 I couldn’t agree more with what Ludwig said about the evolution of Geoguessr as a game. Even just a year ago the majority of players were the GeoWizrd archetype just learning about cultures and using that knowledge to make educated guesses. I just got back into Geoguessr a month ago and even some silver ranks are pouring over meta spreadsheets so they can make instant guesses the second they see that iconic Portugal electrical pole, or Spanish bollards on the side of the road. Worse yet, I see people now making guesses based on true meta like what shape the google car blur is, or how big it is, or what colour the blur of the car is. It’s still fun casually, but at the upper level it’s not fun at all if you’re like GeoWizard and just want to learn more about landscapes and cultures.
this. I played geoguessr a while ago because I got into it from watching geowizard, but to compete even in low ranks you *had* to know meta data just to keep up.. I have a lot more fun just watching geowizard now than actually playing the game
The speedrunning aspect of geoguesser has made the concept of "Good from a far, but far from good." become the golden rule. But most of these players clearly struggle to find the actual location, even if given plenty of time to search. Since they never practiced looking for such clues.
Just in case you Ludwig fans who don’t know Chris were curious, the set behind him is an actual set. You should see his video touring it, it’s actually insane
@@eli.9424 it is quite a dangerous set too in an earthquake prone area like Japan... The set got wrecked once in a quake and judging by the damage its likely Cris would've been badly injured or worse had he been there... Imo he needs to bolt everything down.
Gotta say, Chris has a great temperament for streaming. HIs charm carries over really comfortably. I guess all those second channel streams helped him out :D Great to see!
When I lived in Japan I went to the stairs from Your Name and was surprised by how out of the way it was. It’s not near any main tourist train stations and tucked back several streets behind homes in a quiet neighborhood and leads to a cute little shrine. If you weren’t looking for it I don’t think anyone except locals would even know it exists. The fact that Makoto Shinkai used this shrine and these stairs is fascinating to me because if he wasn’t a local why did he decide to end his film here? And if he is a local then again, what was so significant about this spot that he wanted to use these stairs? Funnily enough on either side of the stairs are just regular homes that literally touch the stairs with people hanging their laundry out to dry and letting their kids play. I wonder how they feel about the site having become a minor tourist attraction.
I would love watching a Wacky Weekend with Lud. Just imagine them taking him to camp out in the worst rated 1-star abandoned hotel in the middle of a winter storm while reviewing all the alcohol and fried chicken they can get from a convenience store
I clicked on this video so fast because I had to make sure I was seeing this collab correctly LOL. I was not expecting Chris and Ludwig to make a video together and i'm honestly here for it 🤣
This is a duo I didn’t know I needed, Chris and Ludwig are so funny. It was funny when Ludwig said “he doesn’t know the trick” and loses that round to Chris 💀
This is interesting, Ludwig will say something like “driving on the right side of the road here” or some kind of signifier, and the other will say “this car seems slavic”. Ludwig’s point is correct s out how geogessur was intended and how it ended up.
I have been binge-watching Abroad In Japan's videos for the past week. In fact, I'm still watching Journey Across Japan right now as i saw this notif. Great collab of two great channels.
13:53 Hi Polite, I believe you can find these stairs right after the Zuishinmon gate that leads to the Enoshima Shrine main entrance, and I know on episode 6 of Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai, Sakuta and Tomoe go on a date right there, so that's my guess.
Actually, I'd like to see Chris & Connor go with Lud & QT - with C&C being pros at it while Lud & QT just trying to figure out the Japanese of it all in a love hotel
I never expected Chris Broad to end up in Ludwig's channel but here we are. This was great! Now we need a whole Journey Across Japan with Ludwig in the near future! 😁
This was such a fun video. Chris, do more shit like that you're an entertaining fella. Thanks Lud for probably dragging Chris to do this against his will.
I always enjoy when Lud gets to stream with someone he very clearly respects and admires, like Chris, Connor, Charlie, and Jerma. He just gets a different energy to him, almost like a part of him still can't believe he gets to work with these guys.
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 100% his Tohouku Earthquake aftermath video was both incredibly well made and very emotional at the same time. I know he hates Cat Island but that was also quite good, every creator has some project they aren't fond of... That's his.
As someone who has been watching Ludwig since he was an editor for The Reads, and Chris for the last 5 years, this feels so surreal to see them collaborating. Never would have imagined this happening ever.
I don’t understand how ludwig still doesn’t recognize the hotel in Singapore. it’s like one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. I’ve seen him get that wrong so many times
🤣 its quite nice seeing Chris now venture with collaborations with other known creators. :) Now they're all in a little friend circle xD also Ludwig is everywhere now.. but still in the basement.
I'm really happy to see Ludwig vibing with the Japan crew! I haven't watched your channel before this but your personalities clash really nicely. Amazing stuff :)

Japan is one of the hardest to pinpoint for me, unless it's something more specific. Glad to see Chris do so well. Maybe I'll spam Japan maps to learn it, because it's clearly doable.
Chris makes amazing content, when I was bed ridden for a bit cause my stomach ulcer id just watch his vids. You ever go to japan def gotta get a collab in bro it be pretty lit. Specially if he took you to some of the crazy crazy awesome spots for filming.
16:50 I BELIEVE this is from black butler (kuro shitsuji) it is the main anime set in england, with jojos bizzare adventure part 1 being the only other real option.

Yoooo this is the most insane crossover yet. I didn’t even know Chris existed in the Ludwig universe.
What’s the Ludwig universe? Just a quick list.
Did you not read the latest update patch notes? They just added him
Didn’t you see their last video together? Chris challenged him to games and Lud lost and had to become a vtuber
I mean, he is affable. And also, he is youtooba.
Frrrr, I love chris and seeing this is bonkers
Chris: "Let's just hope Ludwig doesn't know what Pompei is."
Ludwig: "This is Rome."
Had me on the FLOOR 💀💀💀
Ironically, I instantly recognized it as Pompeii because of JoJo lol
this chris fellow seems like a pretty affable guy
ah, a fellow trash taste viewer

He must have thought of that before 😂 it's genius
Heard it a few years back, cracks me up every time

People joke about being "cultured" but he's just outright cultured.
Chris getting so fed up that he did an American accent just made my day. And I've been having a pretty good day.
This is a collab I didn’t know I wanted. Cant wait for the inevitable collab vid yall will do when you go to japan, weeb.
Not weeb just cultured
This is interesting, Ludwig will say something like “driving on the right side of the road here” or some kind of signifier, and the other will say “this car seems slavic”. Ludwig’s point is correct s out how geogessur was intended and how it ended up.
I have been binge-watching Abroad In Japan's videos for the past week. In fact, I'm still watching Journey Across Japan right now as i saw this notif. Great collab of two great channels.
First Connor's irl streams, then its Ironmouse, and now its Ludwig. Chris being a cameo/side character to streamers is just a joy to see.
Yesss Chris and ludwig, best crossover yet, both channels I really genuinely enjoy watching and both make amazing content 💜 !
"A Fraud in Japan" was all I needed to hear. This man got my sub
13:53 Hi Polite, I believe you can find these stairs right after the Zuishinmon gate that leads to the Enoshima Shrine main entrance, and I know on episode 6 of Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai, Sakuta and Tomoe go on a date right there, so that's my guess.
Vouch
My guess was them being the stairs from Saekano
Was thinking the same thing, they went on a trip here in bunny girl senpai
my first was the stairs from 5cm per second, but it seems after some quick googling that they are just the same ones from kimi no na wa :L
Mais wtf @Fukano tu fait quoi là ? 😂 Tu veux pas poster des vidéos plutôt? 😄
Chris is genuinely one of the best creators on the platform, sick cross over boys
Ludwig's reaction to "Kinki Highway" is further proof of his descent into the bald man
bro ludwig being shown around japan by chris would be an absolutely sick vlog series.
These are two universes in the TH-cam multiverse that I never expected to cross over. Dave in Japan collaborating with Ludwig?!
yeah man, i would've never thought that Larry from Paul in Japan would ever do something with ludwig
Ludwig is a fan of Chris, so it isn't that unexpected, but I was still surprised when I saw the notification.
Now let's see him meet Natsuki
i love chris one of my favorite youtubers glad to see you guys collab!
I would love to see a Wacky Weekend video with Ludwig having to stay in Japan's worse love hotels or something.
