'''...Blog This!''' is a mission in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]], given to protagonist [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] by [[Anthony Prince]]. This mission is the second part of the [[Blog This!...|Blog This]] mission earlier in the game.
==Mission==
In the [[Blog This!...|earlier mission]], [[Luis Fernando Lopez]] had left a comment on a blog post by [[The Celebinator]], who had been bad mouthing Lopez and [[Gay Tony]]. Tony and The Celebinator later agree to a meeting, Tony [[Mobile Phone|calls]] Lopez and has him meet them at [[Westminster]]. Lopez then flies a [[Swift|helicopter]] over to [[Happiness Island]], flying at a high altitude (checkpoints appear in the air to indicate where to fly). After talking to The Celebinator, Tony takes the controls and sends Lopez to "talk" to him. Lopez begins to slap and punch The Celebinator, before pushing him out of the helicopter. Tony, not wanting him dead, tells Lopez to rescue him. Lopez jumps out of the helicopter and manages to catch The Celebinator, grabbing hold of him. Lopez then opens a [[Parachute|parachute]] and the two land safely on the ground at Happiness Island. The Celebinator then begins to limp away, having soiled himself while falling.

== Secondary objectives ==
Luis and Tony kidnap the blogger that's been trash-talking Tony's clubs on the internet. They take him high above the [[Statue of Happiness]] in [[Swift|Yusuf's helicopter]] and, after a few punches or slaps, Luis throws the blogger out to scare him. Luis then jumps out of the helicopter after the blogger, catching him in mid-air and utilizing a [[Parachute]] to glide him to safety on the [[Happiness Island|island]]. The blogger limps off, adequately debased and having crapped his pants, and is never seen again by Luis.

Once you arrive at the helicopter, get in and fly towards the pink marker. There are pink ringers to fly through. Once you get high enough, Tony will take the controls. Follow the onscreen instructions to slap and punch the blogger and, when you are ready, throw him from the copper. Luis will automatically dive after him on orders from Tony, and if you let him die, the mission fails. Aim towards the blogger and dive quickly to catch him. Once you've got him, deploy the [[Parachute]] to safely land on Happiness Island.

When retaking the mission, Luis will start across the street from the landing pad. When running there, don't get hit by cars, as you must have 0% player damage. Also, the mission must be completed in under two minutes and five seconds, and Luis must catch [[the Celebinator]] mid-air in six seconds or less.

...Blog This! is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony given to protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez by night club owner Anthony "Gay Tony" Prince. The mission is automatically triggered by a phone call, rather than Luis heading to a trigger location. For this reason, the mission has no set starting location, as Tony phones Lopez, although the player must go to Westminster, Algonquin, Liberty City before being able to carry on with the mission. The mission is the second part of the earlier mission Blog This!....

Mission

In the earlier mission, Luis Fernando Lopez had left a comment on a blog post by The Celebinator, who had been bad mouthing Lopez and Gay Tony. Tony and The Celebinator later agree to a meeting, Tony calls Lopez and has him meet them at Westminster. Lopez then flies a helicopter over to Happiness Island, flying at a high altitude (checkpoints appear in the air to indicate where to fly). After talking to The Celebinator, Tony takes the controls and sends Lopez to "talk" to him. Lopez begins to slap and punch The Celebinator, before pushing him out of the helicopter. Tony, not wanting him dead, tells Lopez to rescue him. Lopez jumps out of the helicopter and manages to catch The Celebinator, grabbing hold of him. Lopez then opens a parachute and the two land safely on the ground at Happiness Island. The Celebinator then begins to limp away, having soiled himself while falling.

Tips

  • As the mission starts as soon as Luis receives the phone call from Tony, it can be difficult to fulfill the time requirement, especially if Luis happens to be on the other side of town. The mission appears to not trigger until High Dive is completed (as it introduces parachutes to the game). One way to save time is to not complete Blog This! until after High Dive, and then stick close to the helipad until Tony calls (alternately, if High Dive is completed after Blog This!, head to the heliport and wait). You can also save time by making sure you're in a vehicle and start driving towards the heliport while Tony is on the phone, as shown in the walkthrough video.
