In which I take a deeper look at a dinosaur-led video game that defined my childhood and discover just what a strange beast it truly was.

Now for something completely different. The YouTube music man makes video essays now, or rather made one video essay and probably never will again because it took ages and my life is too full right now to do many more.
I've considered making a video about ParaWorld for some time and finally took the plunge a few weeks ago, culminating with this. The editing is occasionally patchy and God do I hate my voice when I'm narrating things, but for a first effort with serious video editing of any type I'm pretty happy. I hope you enjoy it.
Yes, I know the plane is metal. I forgot that when recording the audio and couldn't re-record it and forgot to add correcting text. My bad.
Yes, that's not technically a railgun because it doesn't run on electricity. But come on, it's a GUN on RAILS. Surely I can call it a RAILGUN?
