I really hope he does more of these, seeing how joeys geoguessr streams go, they can be quite entertaining! Also i hope he learns the difference between spanish and french.
Though you could also very well be placed in southeastern Norway (where, among other places, the capital Oslo lies), which is quite flat relative to much of the country. The place names Vinny encounters here has another good rule of thumb: the suffix -øy, meaning "island", is quite common in Norway and does not exist in Denmark. (they prefer "-ø") If you find a sign pointing to a location ending in or containing -øy, you're in Norway.
12:43 To be fair with the guys running Geoguessr, Google bills a ton for use of the Google Maps API, and although there are workarounds over this, they could get banned for doing it And besides that, it's 2 dollars a month or 24 bucks a year, so it's not that expensive if you play it a lot
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon we’re taught about world geography once in 6th grade and then never again, so it makes sense that many people would forget or just not know. We are never forced to learn about world geography again unless you choose to take classes pertaining to geography or work in a job field where knowledge of world geography is required.
@@SpaceSkeletonDragon this sounds like another “haha laugh at America dumb” comment but in case you’re serious, it’s because it’s never really treated as important in education. America also teaches some things later than other countries do.

This is by far one of my favorite games for Vinny to play. Such a treat for a quick hour or two. It’s not just because he’s not familiar with the geography but it’s how he reacts to every environment. Cracks me up. Hope this become a staple series.
42:12 "I mean, if I created a city I'd plaster the name of it everywhere" *zooms in on a sign saying Pretoria* "I'm very, very curious to know where this is"
Seeing my home region (KwaZulu-Natal) in the last geoguesser vid upload and now the exact street I used to commute on to work everyday in Cape Town - most South African content I’ll probs ever see on Vinesauce!
Can't fault Geoguessr entirely for the monetization this time, that's on Google. Charging for Google Maps API usage is kinda scummy for a company their size.
I mean, it's not scummy to charge for something that you dump money in and are operating at a loss because most people use it for free, since you can do a lot more with the API than the average joe can in Maps But I have to say that the pricing for the Maps APIs is prohibitive at best and at worst an outright scam
Vinny saw the Bimbo van and still he didn’t realize he was in Mexico . Also, at 13:20 if you know your Mexican culture well enough, you could tell he was in Mexico City because that sign has the Mexico City government logo at the bottom left corner, and that whole “Bienestar” thing is a modern social welfare program implemented by the current federal government. As a bonus, poor Vinny got japed by the fact that Mexico City has an entire neighborhood with streets named after other countries
21:10 In Tokyo. Isn't sure it's Tokyo despite the obvious indicators. Sees British themed 'Ale House' with Union Jack adorning its exterior. "Legit Irish Pub." I love you Vinny.
I'm wondering why vinny thought Uruguay was in Europe while incidentally knowing there's a place called "Cape something" at the very end of South America
Having been to MSU for college in East Lansing Michigan, it was extremely painful to watch Vinny completely miss LANSING right in the middle of the map for a few minutes there. It was hysterically bad.
(Current U of M student) This was me when Joel ended up in Ann Arbor in the most recent Geoguessr video. He figured it out because he hit the Umich clothing store, which... fair?? The No Thai bit fucking killed me though oh my God.
41:23 a little tip for Vinny (or anybody else): if shadows are pointing due south, you are almost definitely in the southern hemisphere, and vice-versa.
seeing vin struggle so much to find long beach was genuinely the best part as i’m someone who grew up around the area and was delighted to see a familiar city in a geoguessr stream for once :’D glad he finally got it!
I live in the general ballpark of the Michigan location at the end. This hurt to watch lmao, especially considering Lansing was on screen, and he just took a detour directly to Detroit.
Hearing Vinny say "Is this the Jesus Place (with the Jesus on the hill)?" and then pass by two huge signs that clearly say Rio...yet he is still questioning if he's in Brazil...this should have been enough to kill me but I somehow managed to live through that experience.
With all the changes the channel has gone through in the past year, it's about time we got flashback/prequel episodes. The writers for this season of Vinesauce are really breaking new ground.
How can Vinny come to Brazil if he can’t find it? 12:15 You can find it, if you’re smart. You can find it at Geo-Mart! 14:13 Vinny Finds SCP-069 22:23 Can’t be the Italian flag, there’s no Pizza on it 24:52 speaking of The Jesus Place 31:01 Battle Against a Geographical Foe 38:22 Thumbnail

as a michigan state grad, i basically shit myself with nostalgia right at 54:30 it kinda hurts to see a place you've been before on stream and watch as someone have no idea where it is,
*Joel scrolling through the mini map on geoguessr before choosing a place* hehe funni name *Vinny scrolling through* Oh look at this place and this place and this reminds me of this!
It's funny how Vinny and I thought of different bands when he said Battersea Power Station but we did both immediately think of bands. For me it was Hoover.
oh my god. i can't believe of all the geoguesser players to finally land somewhere i lived, it was vinny playing it for the first time. i got whiplash seeing that sign pointing towards dayton on 75
That one made me yell at the screen, too. But I guess that information doesn’t really help much if you don’t know the Cameron Highlands are in Malaysia.
53:34 i saw that msu on the window and knew it was michigan, but once i saw that 24/7 store at 53:47 i was yelling. i knew exactly where he was and i never thought my town would be in this. yelling at vinny through my screen to try and tell him the exact spot. grand river sucks to drive on and even worse going west. shoutouts to anyone in lansing, huhu

@Windowlicker I only know the big Tokyo stuff...so my first thought for the place in Japan was to look around for a mention of Osaka.
It was so clearly Korean and he saw it so many times before Seoul... How can someone who lives in New York not immediately tell Korean from Japanese?
@Windowlicker "Parking lot". Noted.
I like how at 23:25, even tough Vinny is playing this off-stream, he is still trying to defend himself from imaginary chat yelling at him
NO GUY
Watching Vinny zoom into the complete wrong continent of major cities and countries never stops being amusing.
I really hope he does more of these, seeing how joeys geoguessr streams go, they can be quite entertaining! Also i hope he learns the difference between spanish and french.
just wait till Portuguese is also thrown into the mix
@@EpicBoss- "Amazonas? Is that spanish?"
"Lisboa, must be in Mexico"
@@brazilian_oak to be fair, I think the amazon is called Amazonas in both Spanish and Portuguese
Rule of thumb I always use for the Nordic countries. If they use "Ø" it's Denmark or Norway. If they use "Ö" it's Sweden or Finland.
Another rule of thumb: Denmark is almost completely flat, and Norway is nothing but mountains.
Though you could also very well be placed in southeastern Norway (where, among other places, the capital Oslo lies), which is quite flat relative to much of the country.
The place names Vinny encounters here has another good rule of thumb: the suffix -øy, meaning "island", is quite common in Norway and does not exist in Denmark. (they prefer "-ø") If you find a sign pointing to a location ending in or containing -øy, you're in Norway.
And if you see a lot of "aa", "ll", "tt" or generally a lot of double letters, it's probably Finland (Thank you My Summer Car!)
12:43 To be fair with the guys running Geoguessr, Google bills a ton for use of the Google Maps API, and although there are workarounds over this, they could get banned for doing it

Hopefully Vinny doesn’t stumble into a ZONAS DE ACCIDENTES in this video.

He did discover a DROGAS at 24:39.
Vinny "If i made a city id plaster the name of the city everywhere" while looking at a sign saying Preatoria north branch

here's a cheat sheet for team white boys:
- katakana is a japanese script filled with simple, angular characters with a few gentle curves; this is like "reverse romanization" used to convey foreign words' pronunciation (e.g. companies, someone's name, etc). looks like this: カタカナ
- hiragana is slightly more complex and much curlier. this is a native japanese script considered a "woman's" writing form. looks like this: なんだい
- hanzi or kanji is, well, han zi (chinese characters). these are traditional chinese characters lifted straight from chinese, lol. these tend to be tightly compacted and much more condensed than both katakana and hiragana; as such, these are used to convey more specific ideas in one character (and yes I am so jealous of chinese twitter). looks like this: 冠龍五彩
- hangul, korean writing, is often confused for these scripts too despite being invented completely seperately and without any chinese or japanese influence. (it's actually pretty interesting even if you're not into that kinda stuff normally.) hangul characters are often divided into two to four neatly compartmentalized, geometrically symmetrical or otherwise balanced sections, and each of these sections indicate how to position your lips, tongue, etc. to pronounce each character. looks like this: 한글

I've had a blast with both of these honestly, I kinda hope Vin does a couple more down the line.
Hearing Ballpark speaking norwegian then resonating that he has to be in Finland gave me some extremely mixed emotions.
Also, I think a lot of "northerners" would have a conniption if they knew their homestead was confused for Oslo.
I live in the general ballpark of the Michigan location at the end. This hurt to watch lmao, especially considering Lansing was on screen, and he just took a detour directly to Detroit.
Hearing Vinny say "Is this the Jesus Place (with the Jesus on the hill)?" and then pass by two huge signs that clearly say Rio...yet he is still questioning if he's in Brazil...this should have been enough to kill me but I somehow managed to live through that experience.
I counted at least 3 signs saying rio
I know Vinny has said in the past that he is a "fast reader" but ... Vinny ... you are not.
This. He thinks he is a fast reader, but when he tries to read quickly he comprehends zero of what he read.
Vinny, sweating bullets: I can't read the language.. on the *garbage.* F in the chat
With all the changes the channel has gone through in the past year, it's about time we got flashback/prequel episodes. The writers for this season of Vinesauce are really breaking new ground.
Funny how Vinny's German sounds like his Nord voice
I love how obvious it is and that vin didn’t cheat.

holy fuck my irrational anger as Vinchenzo looked for LONG BEACH in FLORIDA
6:50 "you know i had to do it to em"
Literally sees a sign that indicates i75 towards dayton, doesn't even guess near i75. Never change vinny
Ah yes... Long Beach, Miami. My favorite destination.
They actually wanted to keep it free but Google jacked up the price for their commercial street view license so it forced their hands.
14:00 the town music fits so perfectly...
Vin's competency at this, and general geography knowledge, is on par with mine and i feel a lot better about myself now.

Weird when you’re watching someone play geoguessr and it drops them a few miles outside of where you physically are at that moment.
4:25 "Pretoria North Branch"
"Maybe one day I'll do one live."
Wouldn't mind seeing Vinny try to find an airport via Mapcrunch.
This video is exactly one hour long.
exactly one hour of Mr. Italy-wide
I will say as a Floridian, a lot of California looks like Florida
He did pretty alright, above average for someone who has never played geoguessr I'd say.
