Things We Saw Today: Jurassic Park Parkour Is Ridiculous T-Rex Action

Devin Graham, a videographer who specializes in extreme sports, recently posted a YouTube video titled “Jurassic Park Meets Parkour In Real Life.” In the video, two parkour practitioners–Ninja Nate, in an inflatable dino costume; and Calen Chan, playing the Chris Pratt character–act out a dino chase at Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii, where both Jurassic Park and Jurassic World were shot.

I really got the giggles from this one, but I do wish they’d given the female protagonist (Megan Graham) some more to do. Just because Jurassic World was pretty sexist, that doesn’t mean your parody has to be! They’re going to shoot a sequel based on user comments, so hopefully they’ll give her a bigger role there.

• Did you buy anything at GameStop from mid-September to early February? According to both the web security blog KrebsOnSecurity and GameStop, there’s a possibility that your credit card information has been compromised. There’s no official word yet, but I’d recommend looking over your card statements for any suspicious purchases. (Via Kotaku)

  Your post-apocalyptic survivalist name = your first partner’s petname for you + the last broken thing you fixed.
