Record Breaking 288 GTO Auction Pushes Millionaires To Battle On Bring A Trailer - Jalopnik
Bring A Trailer is closing in on its 20th anniversary, and introduced its own online auction service with a trio of cool old cars—a Ford Mustang Boss 302, a low-mile BMW E30 M3, and a step-nose Alfa-Romeo Giulia Sprint GT—back in July of 2014. Across the last decade and a bit of BaT auctions, the site has listed a whopping 250,000 auctions (not all of them winners), and wanted to really make a splash with the big number listing. Working with BaT power seller 1600Veloce to promote the event with a big-dollar headline-grabbing car, the milestone listing is a pristine restored 1985 Ferrari 288 GTO. After just a couple of days, the bidding has already reached $6.75 million. Despite still having a week of bidding left to do, this is already the record for the highest single bid that the website has ever received.

I attended a Tomb Raider and Horizon developer's boss design masterclass and came away both weary and enchanted
Legacy of Caine
The following sparkling insights about boss battle design are from Marcin Matuszczyk, principal gameplay designer on Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and a former developer of Outriders and Horizon Forbidden West. He was speaking to an audience of budding Bowser-builders and Sephiroth-sculptors during a presentation at Digital Dragons this year. That said, gamedev panels can make dry reading for lowly laypeople, so for dramatic purposes, I would like you to pretend that the below is voiced by Michael Caine's character from The Prestige. Specifically, think of the scene where he describes what goes into a genuinely great magic trick.
