Pain In The Butt Geography GameNow I know how little I learned in geography growing based on how crappy I did at this game. I did better on the United States-only version of it, but the world version kicked my butt. Paul managed to get Bend, Oregon (which showed up when he played it) within one pixel. If his hometown were to show up, I seriously doubt I'd be able to get very close to finding it. Posted by Jake on 12/11/05 @ 03:39 PM

Otherwise I wouldn't like it very much... Burton Simmons said on 12/12/05 @ 01:57 PM: I felt good about just getting in the right country most of the time... Jake said on 12/12/05 @ 02:01 PM: Sadly, I missed that on a few occassions. josh said on 12/13/05 @ 12:59 AM: Did okay on the worldwide one. Sucked when it came to pinpointing areas in Africa and Russia, but did exceptionally well with Caribbean and South American areas. Did the US only one and got a high score, though I didn't read how the scoring was done. Was able to pinpoint San Jose down to 4km accuracy (I lived there for 20 years so I sure as hell better get it that close!). Fun, but it's keeping me up way to late. Thanks a LOT, Jake.
