It's called geoguessr.
They show you a streetview image, you can look around, and then you've gotta put a pin in the map of the world where you think it may be. And it's not images of famous places, no, perfectly ordinary, sometimes even utterly deserted places. You look and at first you think "Goddamn, that could be just about anywhere". But, when you think about it, it's not quite as hard. Of five rounds, my error was over 350 miles from the actual place only once.
Try it! It's geoguessr.com, or to challenge me, the link below:

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

Of 5 rounds, my worst was around 141 feet off, and my best was 3 feet off.
Fun game! But then again I'm a bit of a map-head.

OMG I've been on a lonely stretch of blacktop in the middle of... I don't know... For about half an hour. Nothing. I'm pretty sure I'm on the African continent, however.
This is fun.
I only wish it wasn't so time consuming; I'm already getting shit from my wife about it.

Re: This game on the internets, it is fun!
Super time suck. I went though 4 rounds and spent a ton of time in Brazil. Got dumped off in Japan once and thought it would take a while... only about 5 minutes. And I've gotten four exact locations. Right on the money, 0.000km.
It's interesting to see some of the Brazilian towns and cities where motorcycles seem to outnumber cars.
