- Eager to bounce straight back from what was a promising but ultimately mediocre first (good) attempt, I dived straight back in and had a few more attempts. This, after a couple of hours of trying, was the magnificent result.

It surely does man, well played!

Well done!
Awesome!!!

me: what
Haha exactly what I was thinking
i was dying when he said that
literally me
@@timothy.covert yep, it says güero, which is a way of saying blond. Source: mexican
@Skain it's a pretty colloquial word and I'm not sure if it's used outside of Mexico so that's probably why you didn't know it. It's an adjective and it's also used as a nickname "El güero".

when google did streetview for ghana the cars they used had tape on the roof and so whenever you look down theres tape so you know its ghana

"There's this place in Montenegro that I think it could be" ... absolute beast
When I saw the name "Hotel Teuta" I thought the Balkans-Adriatic coast. Teuta was the pirate Queen of the Illirians. So I was thinking maybe somewhere around Albania or Croatia. But he was so quick to go inbetween, into Montenegro and right at the correct bay.
@@MetalHeadViking thats a fun fact thank u
@@MetalHeadViking same exact thinking here! But Montenegro was an exquisite guess

School children should play this game in geography class in school! Seems like a really fun way to get familiar with the cultural, linguistic, architectural and geographical differences of places around the globe.
I’m from the US, and most people’s map skills are really lacking here. I would guess that it’s because the US is fairly large and diverse compared to other developed nations, so most Americans don’t feel the need to leave or learn about far away places. It’s very unfortunate.
absolutely true
that and the education system
Why would they ever do that
No fun is allowed
Why is it unfortunate?
@@jackjack4412 it's unfortunate because Americans are ignorant about the world. One of my classmates last year could barely point to the US on a map and didn't know anywhere else. Granted, he was obviously not the norm but it's not that uncommon

GeoWizard: I think it’s Ghana

Hi Tom, in that Philippines round, "Brgy." is abbreviation for "barangay" (ba-RANG-guy), which is sort of like an administrative zone of a city (in your case, Gapan City). So you were in the barangay named Mahipon. "Purok" is an even smaller subdivision of each barangay.
Incredible job finding it so quickly!
I was about to say this, he's ran into it many times before actually! very useful to know
Good tips bro, cheers.
Thanks for the tips and translations. Are these zones usually named after a bigger city nearby or do they have arbitrary names?
@@PkPvre arbitrary; in a big city, they can be thought of as neighbourhoods or suburbs, much like the boroughs of NYC. In Tom's round, each barangay is more like a village/town, and Mahipon is just one small barangay among 23 others (according to Wiki) that belongs to Gapan City.
I grew up in a big city in the Philippines (I've since emigrated), so many details I'm not too sure about anymore, but I think this is how it is in general.
@@PkPvre in some cases they are numbered but generally they are just given arbitrary names, as a district of the city.

San Juan is not a place, it’s a brand of eggs.
“Huevo San Juan”. Huevo = Egg
Velasco is not a place, it’s the name of the person who wants to run for governor or whatever in the city or state.
It doesn’t say güeto.
It says Güero, it’s like an informal way to say white in Spanish, (a person with pale skin).
This man has an awesome knowledge of the fucking globe omfl.
Im from northern us, and the san juan islands are a place. However, they are between canada and us so i dont think they would have anyone running a car shop on them
@@jacobm7002 San Juan is just St. John in Spanish.
Do you know where does the word guero come from? In our dialect (Tunisia - North Africa) we say "guerra" to mean European or white in general but I don't know where that comes from.
I'm thinking maybe it comes from the war (Guerra in Italian) that the Europeans brought to North Africa (WW2)
@@AmxCsifier It’s from the spanish word huevo which means empty.

2:58 he looks it up
@@ebbeholmqvist1489 no, he searched the names on the sign, then came back and said "oh I think this is montenegra"
@@Cheesesticks-1 can't tell if you're being serious. He was unplugging and plugging in his audio cable because sometimes it gives him a robotic voice. If you watch more of his video you'll see him do that
@@Cheesesticks-1 no it was just an easy guess. Are you his number one hater? You comment everywhere
@@gregorB92 when he is submitting the scores to be judged against other people it goes past being harmless fun.
He, like I have said many times is extremely good at the game, and aside from these few times where he cheats (and it is easily proven) he does really well, and it's entertaining to watch. If he's just playing on his own that's fine, but he is submitting these scores to a leader board and that being taken into consideration makes this video direct evidence and doesn't look good on him. It's fine to cheat in a single player game, but when you involve others it makes everything different.
He could most likely legitimately get these scores based on other things I've seen from him, but the fact that he did cheat here, and he most certainly did. Is disgusting.
I'm glad crossing my fingers helped you get this score in a video you uploaded two years ago. My fingers can time travel.

”There’s a place in montenegro that comes into my mind” please explain to me how that would be possible. There’s a million places with two bridges and a landscape like that.
I’m fuckin saying I would love a explanation
My guess as someone who has watched a lot of his videos and tends to play along with him to try to guess (And I've gotten pretty good at it): The architecture and landscape, as well as the Slavic language, screams Balkan (Probably Croatia or Montenegro in my opinion), and it's of course coastal. What I assume here is that through all his games guessing places in the Balkans he has a rough version of the map of the Adriatic coastline more or less ingrained in his mind, and that "bay" or "sound" with a landmass sort of blocking access to it probably clicked in his head. He does this a lot where he for instance looks at a certain stretch of coast or a certain mountain range (with the help of the compass on the screen, to judge directions) and correlates that with the shape of some large and distinct geographical feature.
Within 5 seconds you can tell it's either croatia or montenegro by the landscape. And in montenegro there is a very well known bay, called Boka Kotorska. The picture shows a location which is obviously in a bay. It should be anyone's first place to look. You zoom all the way at the end of the bay and look for small tributaries with bridges, and confirm it with a street sign of the place.
He's a cheater. easy to read from his body language, and gives a lot of social cues of a liar. i hate to accuse him but things like this quote show its so fake.

Ah yes, almost as if I've already seen this comment.
This videos are so good. My Geography is terrible but I'll live vicariously through you.
Filipino here. The BRGY. stands for "barangay", which is what we call the districts/subdivisions of a city or municipality here.
All land in the Philippines is administered by a city or municipality, so their jurisdictions may cover a bunch of rural areas like Brgy. Mahipon in Gapan City. To find the stereotypical city downtown you would locate the poblacion area.
My town for instance has a well-built city center, but also has suburbs, and then whole ricefields and jungle areas further out. The town administers all that.
Geo sees a single leaf on a tree: Oh I do believe this is the 3rd tree on Maple Street in northwestern Ankara. Yeah, I think that should be about right.

In the Philippines one: "Brgy." is a shortened version of "Barangay", which is basically like a smaller division within a city, like a village or a district. So, "Brgy. Mahipon" is "Barangay Mahipon" which is the name of that village within Gapan (City), Nueva Ecija (Province), Philippines (Country).
Awesome job tho!!!
Also, Gapan is an actual city in the Philippines. Its just that google sometimes tend to put the city/place name near the center of that landmass, even though its far from the urban city center.
Did u just say Philippines is a province?
