  • 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.

    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.

    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.

      ​@@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.

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.

      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.

      @gambi9303 Před 3 lety +330

      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.

      @@Cheesesticks-1 Bruh fr? He literally explains it, his mic goes super robotic every once in a while so he has to plug and replug. There's no keyboard, no typing, he doesn't even look up at a screen. How could he possibly have searched it up.

      I think he recognized the poster as some sort of politician, so it probably makes sense that Tapachula would be some kind of city or municipality. Or he's just played so many games that he's seen the name pop up on the map enough to remember it.
