Here is the first of what *might* be two Jurassic Park videos, depending on the reception this one gets!

This video is... perhaps a little nerd-wanky, but it's been a little while since I've let my obnoxious pedant freak flag fly.  Still, it was fun to put together and touch on a novel, a film, _and_ a game all in one video.  It was kind of interesting dealing with the challenges of each - videogames have that awkward systems breakdown thing where I never know how much to explain how the game works vs. discussing how it's about what it's about, films have all the terrors of ContentID forcing me to yank out sound and keep clips as short as possible, and discussing novels in a visual medium where I don't do talking head parts is... challenging.  I mostly just backfilled with a *ton* of old Jurassic Park game footage.

Anyways, enjoy!

Jurassic World Evolution

In which I (eventually) discuss Jurassic World Evolution, but first talk for entirely too long about the themes of the Jurassic Park novel and film. ---- This episode was made possible by generous support through Patreon! http://www.patreon.com/errantsignal ----

All I could think while watching it was 'who builds a fence that a dangerous predator can just knock down by headbutting?'

For the first 10 minutes I was mostly trying to figure out which game you are talking about. The title kind of flashed by and I was left confused. When you actually got to the game, it all finally made sense. I appreciate the depth you go to and would love to see another Jurassic Prattle!

Excellent video. <3

I really love this analysis of both the overall message of Jurassic Park, and of the new game specifically. Really well done!

I assume a prattle is a cloud of pheromones that Chris Pratt releases when provoked

I will always want more Jurassic Park. Might be an opportunity to do a retrospective on some of the extant ones.

Loved this episode. I'm wondering if JWE might be one of those that warrants another look in a year's time or so, since Frontier say they're committed to expanding it.
