The map itself is quite good, but this specific mission is a little bit lackluster. There's a lot of cool ways to kill the rockstar, but his lawyer has like...three simple eliminations besides just "murder him"
I really want to see what they do with elusive targets on the map though
Boring for streaming purposes. Fun to play, though. It's like a complex set of knots. You have to methodically pick away at it until things loosen up.
I don't want to spoil anything but I found I had to do some complex stuff (mini heists,basically) to set up the actual assassinations. I had a lot of fun with it and I'm going to try to get full mastery of this stage.
But like I said... not so fun for streaming purposes. People everywhere, no room for fast and loose craziness.
Yeah, I really feel that the elusive targets are just way more interesting from a gb content point of view. I don't find dropping a toilet on somebody as hysterical as Dan does. But the tension of not dying in a elusive target mission is so fun to watch.

His lawyer got the short end of the stick.

The next patch for No Man's Sky is up, but they've yet to say what the patch is consisted of. All Sean Murray is saying is that the PC version 'adds support for more hardware [and] improves frame rate at low spec," while the PS4 patch "improves stability [and] lots more.' http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/08/18/new-no-mans-sky-pc-ps4-patch-now-available I wonder what Sean considers "lots more".

I keep saying there's no point to continue playing, then I turn of the game and am met with soooooo much money. I think its genius that they let the game "continue" even when the PS4 is off.

The best patch notes are the vague ones. He wants everyone to discover what was changed, explore the code if you will.
for his sanity i hope he's not actually the one driving
driving in nyc is the worst

I tweeted to him that he and Dan should try Shake Shack. Doubt either of them have ever been anywhere (until now) where one exists.
I liked when he said gamespot instead of stop and didn't correct himself.
They have those all over the place. I've had them in Scotsdale and Austin.

I'm in California on business for the first time in 20 years and I've eaten In-N-Out, Del Taco and had some sour beers here in Anaheim in my 24 quick trip. My stomach is never going to forgive me.

Yeah...Gawker was a trashy site.
While yeah, I understand the sentiment that Billionaires shouldn't be suing media sites willy nilly, that's not what happened here. Gawker, aside form the Hogan tape, has had a history of releasing disgusting tripe as 'news'.

yea, that was pretty scummy as well.
Yeah, I think Jason is a real smart guy and generally a class act.
But they have all been full Gawker defense force.
Like, no one can admit they did some real shitty things
And wrote some real shitty articles
This is my all-time favorite awful Gawker article

Ill give Patrick credit for knowing to nother really comment on that stuff.
Jason needs to just drop the subject. It's a bad look for a smart guy like him. I guess it's the whole American freedom of the press = we can say whatever the fuck we want and ruin whoevers life we want because FREEDOM thing or something?
"So we have to kill the fixer dude and Jared Leto. I'm excited!"
Tabloid press, maybe. Credible press takes ethics pretty seriously. The Jayson Blair and Rick Bragg scandals shook the New York Times very hard.
And for what it's worth - no press is as nasty and dirty as the UK tabloid press. Which is the mindset that Nick Denton brought to Gawker.
If you look at the past century I'd say there are two names that stand as the best and worst of what journalism can be. The best being Edward R. Murrow and the worst being William Randolph Hearst. It's pretty clear which side Gawker modeled itself after.

Dan should go to the Fulton street shake shack and then I'll hang out with him in the Fidi
edit: my only on the record position for this gawker stuff will always be: "deadspin is perfect and should never change"

I think the outing of that one executive last year was worse, considering he was a pretty high up guy at a direct competitor of Gawker. I remember Patrick all but calling out Gawker for that back then.
That executive is the guy that founded Hogan's lawsuit. Jason has been bashing that guys for months now.

meh was never a fan after that Dragon's Crown thing.
He was lucky the creator also stooped to his petty level so both of them looked like asses in that whole thing.

No, that was someone else. Looking it up, his name is David Geithner. He is (was?) the CFO of Conde Nast.
Oh.... My bad, always thought it was the same guy.
yea, don't remind me about the DC thing. that was not a good thing he did.

Peter Thiel is who you were thinking of.
Edit- Wow Conde Nast owns a lot of stuff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condé_Nast

have the wow retrospectives been put on the site anywhere? Where are those archived?
I think that is a better/much more well stated position. The fact that the legal system sucks is something I think we can all get behind
Jason, has anyone ever told you you're a Beast of a reporter?
he's right tho
That's a much better way of defending bullshit. Respect.
(this is why I dont use Twitter)
I understand being angry and feeling like its unfair to be hit with a $140 million blow, but Gawker, at least how it operated currently, brought this upon themselves. Nick Denton is not someone who I feel sorry for, he's the one who threw the first stone and decided to keep throwing them while Hogan asked him to stop.
Yes it looks like it sets a scary precedent for Thiel and people like him, but if someone that big does something to bring them down, journalists will know, and the truth won't be hidden by the fear of lawsuits.
This obviously isn't black/white but I don't believe there's any way to justify what Gawker has been doing for a while. Even just saying "Oh I don't agree with it either, but it's about the principles!" isn't good enough.
