The 5K GeoGuessr Podcast

Somewhere in County Cork, Ireland lives a young man who can see a random image from Google Street view in Russia and often tell you where you are within a few kilometers. His name is Finbarr, and he's one of the phenomena of the GeoGuessr world.  In today's episode of The 5k GeoGuessr podcast I talk with Finbarr about his journey to the 2024 World Cup in Sweden. We also talk about Russia, other countries he's grinding, and which Taylor Swift songs he likes.  Thank you, Finbarr, for coming on the show.  Hope you all enjoy!

When 0xGG set out to create the map Pain and Suffering, he had no idea it would be featured in the videos of some of the highest profile GeoGuessrs around, names like zi8zag, GeoWizard and ChicagoGeographer. But is the map really that hard? And was making it the "hardest" map even really his intention? Today we learn more about the person behind the map and more about his thoughts on a wide variety of GeoGuessr topics, ranging from toxicity in competitive GeoGuessr to "circumstantial meta" to niche concepts like midpointability.  Links:  0xGG's maps: A Well-Covered World: https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64d8c5ec3a31de27be286d6c [https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64d8c5ec3a31de27be286d6c] Masterpieces Of The Earth: https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64c9d1fea046340237ac216d [https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64c9d1fea046340237ac216d] Pain and Suffering: https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64c9ec177034900d1c258dd2 [https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64c9ec177034900d1c258dd2] The Sea Claims Too: https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64c9e1e9635b1627f1ef8fbc [https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/64c9e1e9635b1627f1ef8fbc] JŵɳʹРմ٨ݥ ţɡͭѥղ١ܠfšɩͬѵղ٥: https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/65542f7ac159623fbc27851f [https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/65542f7ac159623fbc27851f] 5 Technically Pinpointable Rounds: https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/65531649320b4374b44c112f [https://www.geoguessr.com/maps/65531649320b4374b44c112f] My 0xGG's YouTube channel: Videos page: https://www.youtube.com/@TwoLambdaPlusBlack/videos [https://www.youtube.com/@TwoLambdaPlusBlack/videos] US area codes video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NOcJyZlWK0 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NOcJyZlWK0] US zip codes video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbyKUn_8xEg [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbyKUn_8xEg] Other GeoGuessr players' videos playing Pain and Suffering: GeoWizard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74GwruVpDd4 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74GwruVpDd4] zi8gzag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziiu2Isr1dY [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziiu2Isr1dY] Chicago Geographer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_xbqPe5Fic [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_xbqPe5Fic] trulybuzzy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hFs_NGxXKc [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hFs_NGxXKc] Special thanks to Dan Mattison for the intro music: https://soundcloud.com/daniel-mattison-955879826/caught-in-a-moment?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

How do you catch a cheater? What do the maps we create say about our values?
