pretty cool game, I was able to get 9700 something on my second try (mainly due to one location being The Netherlands which are small, one being russia and one being china).

mistook canada for germany and kazakhstan

"He was shown the smallness and tinsel emptiness of the little Earth gods, with their petty, human interests and connections - their hatreds, rages, loves and vanities; their craving for praise and sacrifice and their demands for faiths contrary to reason and nature."

creamcorn

got 12000 points cuz i googled landmarks

zwimmy

9940 points

some of them were only like 200km off

I guess it's kinda luck based since some locations look like they could be anywhere.

most places it shows me are out in the middle of nowhere and could really be in a lot of different places that are very far away from eachother. i'd rather it pick places with at least some kind of visual clue besides flora and road aesthetics

Yeah, I agree, but it's 100% random where you land - it can be anywhere cause it's not restricted to any areas. I had runs without any of those places you talk about though, those are usually the most fun.

I always land in some empty forest or desert and have no hope of finding where I am, no signs or even other cars so I can look at the number plates.

6802. the closest i got was in japan with roughly 600 km away. (it had hiragana which is the only reason i had a clue.) i mistook a place in africa for mexico/texas area

14105. I got within 75km twice, but lost a bit for mistaking rural Alaska for rural Oregon. Closest one was 55km off, I got really lucky and spawned in front of a sign that said <---- Boise | Twin Falls ---->

I landed quite close to an area I've been to in real life at one point, so after a bit of exploring I knew exactly where it was :D

Sinitron

16055

hardest parts were some american states, which turned out to be wisconsin and missouri, because they all look like the same crap

i landed some spots in france, england and russia with only like 100-200 km off, which was acceptable

anyway my point is just fuck you noobs take geography


valiums

You got 7747 points in total.

I don't know were anything is anymore.

It's definitely more luck than geography. There are plenty of cases where you just can't fucking tell where you are because it's in the middle of nowhere, with no signs or cars.

I mean, seriously:



I had to find my way to the beach and if someone hadn't written "Australia" in the sand it would've been a wild guess where this reef was.

rtil

clearly that is finding dory

Necronomitr0n

yeah this would be a lot better if you didn't get plopped in the middle of nowhere half the time

fun game nonetheless
<+fawx> im trying to animate a dick coming out of a toaster how do i go on about doing this
<~rtil> well fawx what you would do is delete the fla and do something productive instead

<+ansel> i lure children into my van with candy and then i read them passages from 'the origin of species'
