It's called GeoGuessr. Very easy. You are dropped somewhere random in the world on Google Streetview and you have to figure out where you are. When you do, you guess on the game's map and it gives you points for how close you get to the correct location. After 5 rounds it tallies up the score.

There don't seem to be any official rules to the game, such as what resources you can use to decipher your location. Considering you could be dropped in the literal middle of nowhere, I figure it expects you to be resourceful, so I used google search plenty to identify my position, but that still requires you to find identifying features in your surroundings. These can be very sparse at times.

In my first game, I was 1.2km from my first location then never more than 0.05km from the rest for a score of 32281. You can accept the challenge to beat my score or start your own adventure. It is quite fun. ]]> Entertainment SpitfireMK461 http://forums.finalgear.com/entertainment/geoguessr-55987/ Movie: Riddick http://forums.finalgear.com/entertainment/riddick-55985/ Thu, 16 May 2013 14:11:42 GMT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDxDEjDMreA Looks pretty badass :cool:

Brought to you from Malmö, the city that brought you Zlatan and Zlatan.

Only two days until we kick off with semi 1, who will win? Denmark or Norway? I'm thinking Denmark, because ethnodrums. Norway is good, but has no ethnodrums. People like ethnodrums. Finland has Katy Perrylainen. Overall a good year for Scandinavia.



Switzerland sends the Salvation Army and brings the oldest man in the history of the competition on stage, 95 year old Emil Ramsauer. The odds of the winning are 501:1, which is odd given that it's far from bad. What is bad is Romania who wants to hurt our ears and sends classically trained opera singer and part time vampire Cezar Ouatu to perform pop song "It's my life" which has a lyric so high pitched only dogs will be able to make out what they are about.



United Kingdom have chosen famous hasbeen miss piggy Bonnie Tyler to represent them with a boring but capable song that is sort of good after you hear it for the fifth time. The audience will only get one listen (and some quick replays) so it'll not work. Spain, also a big elephant, surprises us all by sending a decent song for a change.

What else? Ukraine is getting good odds, don't particulary care for it myself. Germany sends Opel Cascada with a song that isn't a cover and suffers for it.

Netherlands slams the hammer down with star Anouk and a good song. Is it the year of the slow songs? Then it might have a good chance of a top spot.

What does FG say? ]]> Entertainment AiR http://forums.finalgear.com/entertainment/eurovision-song-contest-2013-a-55965/ <![CDATA[Ender's Game]]> http://forums.finalgear.com/entertainment/enders-game-55953/ Fri, 10 May 2013 10:59:56 GMT What, no thread about this yet?

I picked it up earlier this year and played the singleplayer and a bunch of games online, but as I also like to watch games I see that its more fun when you're playing with/against someone you know and are on some voice-tool. So, anyone here? :D

For those who don't know the game at all, here is the homepage and a proper introduction video by your majesty Totalbiscuit:

If anyone is up for it, let me know :).

Oh and the game is 20/30 USD/EUR depending on the edition, but regularly on sale for at least half that, or less. Both versions are working with each other as the Chaos only adds 3 more races, and the upgrade from LE to CE is also only 10{currency}.

Wow, what an amazing movie. I'll be completely honest; I was totally not expecting that. Where to begin...

- Tom Cruise. Holy shit. The part where the drone didn't recognize him after that emergency eye surgery was intense. The precogs were all like "whaaaaat!?!" Insane.

- That cute girl who looks like Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's love child was as solid as it gets. When she accepted replica Tom, I must admit I was initially confused and slightly repulsed, but then, I looked at the cool plane thing again and you know what? Who am I to judge? You go girl.

- Which leads to me my next point... that cool technology is freaking cool, you know? It was all so sleek and shiny, yet so deadly. I'm happy to to see we've gone with that Apple look in the future. I can't wait for a neat personal drone.

- Speaking of drones, that was totally not lost on me, guys. It was perfectly executed and just subtle enough to not be all in your face and be all "ObamaCare" or "Big Brother, mannn!" Bravo.

- Morgan Freeman was incredible. He clearly drew on his experience working for Mr. Wayne to build that nuke; and holy shit, what a nuke it was. That dreidel babushka doll went down hard.

- Jaime. Mother. Fucking. Lannister. Heh. HE STOLE THE GODDAMN SHOW. The scene where he meets Jack Reacher knocked me out of my seat and into the lap of a large Mexican woman who was equally shocked. Not only is he the best swordsman in King's Landing, but it turns out he's also Earth's best sharpshooter and only hope. I'm not worried, however, as the man is a natural leader.

- Also, when did he join the Night's Watch? Why did he join!?! How can a mortal look so handsome in any suit of armor, be it castle-forged or scavenged? So many questions!

I actually still have a lot of questions, but I'm pretty confident I can piece this riddle together after a few more viewings. If anyone could help me on this quest, I'd be forever grateful. Please share your own observations and interpretations of this immensely dense film and comment below.

Thanks in advance. ]]> Entertainment teletubby-warrior http://forums.finalgear.com/entertainment/oblivious-55903/
