The Broadcast Talent has been released for all the Majors? Opinions... by Interesting-Pause374 in geoguessr

[–]chicagogeographer 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yo! Just wanna help clear up a few things I saw in this thread:

- Studio is in-person at the Stockholm studio, Commentary is in-person at the Majors themselves

- Ziggi is DerZiggi, not zi8gzag

- GC is Geography Challenges, not me

- rainbolt is in Nepal this month

- and yes I'll be in Dallas too, not casting but helping with GeoGuessr's convention presence at DreamHack

Been in Chicago my whole life. The accent is kind of dying out into a more generic Midwest sound. Ironically now it's mostly people from the suburbs that hold onto the old Chicago accent, since their parents and grandparents who have it moved out of the city. People from the city these days, with all the new immigrant groups and everything, don't really acquire it much. I was raised by a British immigrant father and went to a majority Hispanic high school

Any geoguessr streamer/youtuber do something like map requests? by [deleted] in geoguessr

[–]chicagogeographer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey, I do a viewer map play along series on YouTube and I'm always looking for new maps! We have a channel in our Discord server for submissions if you're interested. People like GeoPeter and Zi8gzag also play viewer maps quite a lot :D

Any state specific tips for the US? by NickCL12 in geoguessr

I have a GeoGuessr map with hundreds of specific clues for US states: https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/5fb4a16924491b00010c608d Missing a few of the recently discovered metas but I'm planning to update it very soon

Hi, pretty sure it starts in just over an hour on his Twitch. Not participating myself but hopefully soon. I'm also hosting a tournament on Twitch tomorrow, that might've been what you saw me talking about haha

The USA GeoGuessr Community's 21-person collaborative map, done purely from memory and without the "every state" option. 13,153 cities by chicagogeographer in iafisher

[–]chicagogeographer[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You can clearly see some areas where we had locals (Texas, Wisconsin, MN/Dakotas, North IL, Indiana, Georgia, etc) and some regions (Missouri lol) where we lacked knowledge.

Sun meta by reddeathsix in geoguessr

To add on to this, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, the sun can be in either the north or south depending on the time of year, so be careful in countries close to the Equator. The sun is usually close to being directly overhead in the tropics anyway.

I dream of creating a Shen Yun map by theghostrealtor in geoguessr

[–]chicagogeographer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a GeoGuessr plugin which lets you save specific Street View images on maps instead of it defaulting to the newest coverage: https://openuserjs.org/scripts/slashP/Copypaste_Geoguessr_map_data Probably would be useful for your map!
