Interview with Jaye Jurassick, frequent guest on the Jurassic Park Podcast and @jaye_jurassick on Instagram where you can see his dinosaur art.

A ceratopsian at the Smithsonian has been called Triceratops, Diceratops, and Nedoceratops

In Villány, Hungary (a wine region), bone fragments of a small igaunodont have been found

New fossils have been found in Saskatchewan, Canada this summer, including an Edmontosaurus skull, Triceratops bones, Gorgosaurus teeth, and ankylosaur fossils

In Eastern Cape, in South Africa, scientists recently found a giant dinosaur bonebed. It’s about 200 million years old, and the animals were buried together by lots of mud

Good news for Zuul fans, the ankylosaur goes on display at the Royal Ontario Museum on December 15

Students aged 11-15 made a large part of the new Idaho Dinosaur Exhibit at the Idaho Museum of Natural History, as part of the Dino Camps they attended this summer

Dino 101 also recently got an update

There’s a new series for CBBC, called Deadly Dinosaurs demonstrating the power of dinosaurs

RIP(?) Idle Thumbs

And now, a bunch of nerd BS about a podcast.

I went back and did the math the other day and I’ve been listening to Idle Thumbs for about 5 years. (First episode: #84, “Nineties Cockpit Freakout”.) I started listening because I lived in South San Francisco and commuted on BART/Muni to San Francisco proper every day, a trip of about 2 hours one way - I needed something to pass the time and knew that podcasts were big, and someone online suggested it.

I was hooked pretty much immediately. As the label says, it’s “a podcast about video games”, although over time the scope of that has creeped to include board games, movies (okay, mostly Jurassic Park), “live experiences” (e.g. escape rooms), and a ton of other stuff. The hosts have created/been involved in the creation of two of the most-talked-about games of the past several years, Gone Home and Firewatch, been accused by 4Chan of being the conspirators leading a vast feminist cabal dedicated to destroying video games, finally met ‘cast muse Jeff Goldblum in person, and, obviously, rebuilt their recording studio as a tribute to the secure conference room from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Not too surprisingly after roughly 8 years, the current core crew of the rotating stable of Thumbs have stated that last week’s episode 300(!!!) marked a stepping-down of the weekly production schedule in favor of pursuing a new project, “Important If True”, a more freewheeling discussion about science, entertainment, and technology. It’s not dead and buried (a new “bagblast” episode devoted to going through the show’s always-stuffed, always-fascinating email inbox, is slated for next week, and future episodes have not been ruled out), but it feels like there’s a smoggy orange Los Angeles sunset gel across the sky, y’know?

I’m usually not the person who writes this kind of thing, having been bred from the kind of New England family that subtly demands any display of emotion deeper than a hug be crushed, Giles Corey-like, into the earth, but the show has been a real source of peace of mind for me over the years - something to laugh about when things seemed grim, and a friend of sorts when real friends were far away. Here are some of my picks for episodes you should listen to - I mostly recommend it if you’re into video games, as that’s what most of the chatter is about, but there may be bits and pieces here you’ll enjoy even if that’s not your thing. Heck, even the episode descriptions themselves can be pretty funny, as they gradually evolve from staid descriptions of the episode contents to something more elaborate and strange.

103: A Person-Shaped Thing Is A Person: The origin(?) of Robot News, a recurring segment about the coming robot apocalypse, where the team extrapolates out the Petman robot to its logical conclusion (i.e.killing people)

107: GIANTBOMB.COM / 110: That Thing That You Needed To Say: I think (or at least I like to think) everyone has a point in life where they realize Corporations Are Not Your Friend. This duology-of-sorts, about E3 2013 and the dueling Microsoft/Sony press conferences, is a solid autopsy of several days of multimillion dollar spin.

159: Wilson’s Ghoulish Countenance: The first episode with games critic Danielle Riendeau as a regular cohost, this marks the beginning of a really great run of episodes. I wouldn’t call it a golden age, because one of the great things about the show is how there’s not really a core group of hosts and each change in the crew steers things in a different direction, but if you don’t want to start from the beginning, this is a good place to jump in.

165: KeLo. Is. Here.: The show is sometimes at its best when something completely non-game-related drives the conversation. Exhibit A is this episode, which is mostly focused around a weird dream cohost Nick Breckon had.

171: The Curious Case of the Rhode Island Reader: Strangely, I remember this being one of my favorite episodes, but I couldn’t tell you why.

172: http://malaise.ennui/: Easily one of the great lost games of this decade is Silent Hills, a sequel to the long-running horror game franchise Silent Hill by film director Guillermo del Toro, game director Hideo Kojima, and The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus. Hills died on the vine following the collapse of publisher Konami’s video games division, but not before producing a nightmarish demo, P.T., which in turn produced this great episode discussing horror games.

196: Ode On A Grecian Hat Sale: The first(?) in a series of discussions about the weird, seedy underground world of hat trading in popular shooter Team Fortress 2. (See also 208: Buds Are Out, Keys Are In)

200: The Idle Thumbs Super Show: The first show where all cohosts to date (”the sixpack”) are present is both an absolute zoo and an absolute treat.

234: Mister Neighbor: This might be another good jumping-on point. This is technically a few episodes after Danielle left and James “Spaff” Spafford came (back) on, but it’s the first of a more introspective series of episodes, for lack of a better term.

245: Psyching Out That Bear through 248: The Bear’s Black Heart: The “bear saga”, which I can’t say anything about for fear of spoiling the ending, which is the funniest moment of maybe the whole run and had me laughing until I thought I was going to puke.

270: BIG GAME HUCKSTER$$$$: A really sharp, insightful discussion on video games and gambling.

295: Good...Bye through 299: Somebody, Somewhere, Somehow, Something: Yeah, it’s a little precious to pick the last big block of Thumbs episodes as the end of this list, but these are stuffed to the gills with what makes the show great - BSing about game interface minutiae, spinning out vast, elaborate theories about pointless game lore (see the discussion of Mario’s dark destiny in 298), and old friends hanging out. Even 299, where it becomes clear that some kind of end is nigh, is a genuine great episode.

If you made it this far, I’ll plug for some of their other shows: Important If True is hilarious, get in on the ground floor now. Danielle didn’t go far and cohosts spinoff show Idle Weekend, which has a very different pace but is very much worth your time, The Idle Book Club is a thoughtful monthly discussion of a novel that has really helped me get out of my reading comfort zone and try new things (you can start from episode 10 when they essentially rebooted the show), and Twin Peaks Rewatch is a great companion to get prepped for the show’s return in May.

The end! Fuck Nick Breckon Congrats Nick!
