How Rainbolt Became Gaming's Greatest Virtual Explorer
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- There are plenty of people on the internet with weird skills.
But few compare to the sheer impact and the expressive charisma o Trevor Rainbolt - the face of GeoGuessr.
So how did a kid from Flippin, Arkansas become the most unbelievable geographic genius of all time? Are his skills really so good that they made people think he was cheating? And how did his rise to fame help Rainbolt touch actual grass?

bro took it a bit serious when he was told to touch grass
he touched every grass on earth and memorized every single one😂😂
"A kid from Flippin Arkansas" sounds like an insult at first until you realize it's a city name.
Wait for real??
What i was thinking as a non American
Wait it is
Honestly, the way he says it sounds like an insult. And he said it more than once in the same exact tone. I don't know what's his deal with Arkansas 🤣🤣🤣
As soon as I saw it, I immediately looked at the comments section for a comment on it, and lo and behold.
If he gets into an argument online, the other person ain't coming out alive
As is commented on every video ever of him.
Did u see his arms , thinner than sticks lol
glad geowizard got mentioned as i think he was a big help in blowing up the game before rainbolt. he even has his own real life geography stuff with his walking across countries in a straight line challenge
love seeing wholesome dudes like this get famous and do what they love.
man ive been playing geoguessr for years, watched every tournament etc.
You guys really did a great job on the video
great video, premier editing and writing, love to see a thorough video covering an (arguably) underrepresented esports phenomenon like this
he was on freaking tamworth news you can't peak that level of popularity
He also helps people find places in old photos taken with friends and family. A truly wholesome dude.
I wish they included videos of Rainbolt helping people find lost mementoes (and the Scambaiter collab). I think that also propped up his popularity.
Kinda wish the bagel part at 12:28 had been explained better: he didn't find an unidentified shop, he found a shop that the original poster was trying to gatekeep by censoring the name of the shop ON THE BAGEL'S WRAPPING PAPER. The guy tried to be petty, so Rainbolt got even pettier.
Also, related to picture-finding, he's also done a lot of amazing work finding places where people have pictures with their deceased parents or loved ones from when they were little and such. A great dude all around.
I'm not gonna lie, launders being far more animated when casting GeoGuessr than he is in CS is really funny (still love him as a CS caster though)
he looks a lot happier when he is outside instead of playing at home
This guy can find your location by smelling the air through the screen.
Yo what a great video on something amazing
ive never seen 59 seconds ago fr
Sweden made this also? And got the happiest people in the world? This is proof that Sweden is the best country in the world and the rest is hell
I just wish someone would teach him how to set up his microphone. Sounds like he keeps it 1 inch from his keyboard as he slams down the key to lock in his guess.
man is a walking talking google maps. now we know where did the geography knowledge of americans goes, into this guy
Nice video
14 mins 3 comments damn
bro can literally doxx u based on a photo of of ur dog inside your room💀
That would be the easiest game to cheat
The real question here is.
How did Google maps of all things become a game for recognition and memorization?
Then u might want to check out the flight plane simulator on Google Map.
Yes, instead of street view clicking you just fly a plane across it like how u control a flying char in 3D open world games.
.
I got my doubts, seems everyone's cheating nowadays
He's not even the best geoguessr player
Bro dmitri is so fuckin annoying and cringe
U don't have to blatantly lie about Rainbolt's skill level to hype his influence man it's kinda cringe, the guy is great but he's nowhere the best in GeoGuessr
My goat
Makes me proud to see how far we have come 🥹
@rainbolt W gamer
that ending bit got me "do you know what fucking africa looks like Bryan?"
why didn't we ask him where the backrooms photo was taken?
Cause its already solved
I know tho
Rainbolt helped me a lot through life and I respect him a lot
He’s got an amazing arc honestly
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
"2m subs" average bot
2024 World Cup Geoguessr about to start and just now you cover RainBolt? Took you guys long enough.
Are you Ben Brodes son!!!!!
GPB spotted @8:17 ❤❤❤
00:00 Seeing silithur put a smile in my face.
Nobody show him going Fresno on SA 🤫
what if rainbolt actually participates in the championship lol he might destroy
In an alternate universe, this is the guy SSSniperWolf contacted to get Jacksfilms’ address last year
Nothings wrong with being from Arkansas
8:37 Why am I not surprised it's by some Redditor
EDIT: And the coward is using a burner account lol
why does he only host/moderate tournaments and not compete in them?
That'd look shady
I like to play this game but it is expensive, you have to pay a monthly subscription.
This man is honesly its the best at Geo. I also interested in Geo and seeing this man know even my my country better than i do,it exploded my mind. This man is going on a journey around the world and hope one day,he actually explore all of the places on earth. Ngl i wish i can meet him if he travel into my country.
One day bro decided to wake up and say
"Hello World"
Okay, you're overrating Rainbolt right now. He isn't even a Top 3 Geoguesser.
then who is the top 3
Not too sure who top 3 are but I would say top players include Radu C, Blinky, Debre, Angelo, Shiina, Finbarr & Kirinia
And V89 (Cas)
he isn't top but he has had a massive influence on the Geoguesser community, and pretty much jump started competitive geoguesser.
They said he is one of the “biggest names” in geoguesser and he’s “really good” at geoguesser, but I think he absolutely deserves the spotlight for he impact on the game.
